Would it really be so crazy for such people to take taurine supplements now?

Thank you for bringing this subject to our attention. Certainly a worthwhile subject. 

Following with interest. 

If there are no adverse side effects, I don't see why not try it.

I am a very heavy coffee drinker -- a currently extremely stressful job -- and as Taurine is cheap, I never drink my coffee without it. It seems to at least have the described effect there.

This is interesting,

I love a cup of coffee in the morning. but as I got older I found that my BP would shoot up . even if I had a cup. Ny hands and feet would get sweaty. 

I have to look more into this Taurine. Any additional info would be appreciated

So joe is being attacked and trump is not..

Look you seem like a nice man, and I am sure you think you have the best interest of the country at heart. 

But these are the facts, as all the spin in the world would not change them .

trump would also have a similar claim is the charges were politically motivated and come from the Democratic wing, 

but they did not.

Do you know what a Grand Jury is?  

"A New York grand jury today indicted Donald Trump on charges related to hush-money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels during his 2016 campaign.  "

If I was you. I would also. If you lived in Texas you would need them ,

Sadly, contrary to Popular belief by a segment of out society, it does nothing towards compensating for anatomical shortcomings elsewhere. .

Because I copied a pasted the headline doesn't make it false... wasn't meant as a shout... it just didn't reduce in size as I thought it would when I clicked on the banner... sorry if it distracted you from your denial safe place.

I understand the headline perfectly. Not sure how it challenges what I said.The DNC paid the legal bills of  President Biden to defend against a political attack from a republican wing of congress. The RNC is paying  the legal fees of trump in personal cases. I am sorry you can't see that, but it could not be any more simple. 

Hope you are having a good Songkran

You didn't comprehend the OP did you... even your conflicting statements above don't compute... the dnc went from $15000/month to $100000/month retainer for their law firm in order to defend joe.

Have no idea what you are talking about.

Anything with the word electrolyte on it is a scam. Electrolyte is a synonym for salt. This is what corporations do; they make gobs of money selling you a thing they made up.

If everything with the word "electrolyte " on it is a scam , wouldn't then you post be scam?

He intends to appeal but the appeal is to Deputy PM Anutin, who's said it will be denied. I don't think he'll change his mind, as he publicly told Fehr to "go home."

 

 

Oh I am sure he is going back home , especially now that Anuit has taken a position and would be loss of face if it went differently. 

But if he has the option to appeal , there might be a statutory length of time he has to do so, so he can burn that time and appeal on the last minute. Then who knows how long it will take for the appeal process, so there is some more time to potentially burn. I am not sure what if any assets the Swiss expats has here in Thailand, and he might want to use such time to set his affairs in order.  

The question I have is.

since all of my transfers can be covered under the " only taxed at the source country" im my case US, The do I even need to file a return? because as I understand it , if your income in Thailand is below the "assessable" level you don't need to file a tax return

I would appreciate it if someone could answer this question.

No, good point. He'll need to leave under his own power as soon as it expires. If not he'll then be detained and deported when caught on overstay for the reason of visa expiration. Fehr will be on immediate overstay when eligible for release, so he'll be escorted to the airport unless he has no ticket.

So it seems we both might be right, 

I really don't know much about this case. other than the basics . and I have not been following closely.

I think the Swiss Expat is appealing the revocation of his visa, so until such time there is a decision, the  issue, he is under consideration and does not need to go anywhere.

Or has a decision been made already? 

but when the visa is revoked, it is in fact a de facto  deportation, but perhaps, Technical not. 

because even though the Swiss Expat has to leave in both cases , the long term  problems might be different for the two options..

If he was deported , he might not be able to come back for a length of time, or perhaps never. . But if his visa was simply revoked , then he could possibly go back home  get another visa and come back . 

Unless of course he becomes persona non grata .

He isn't being deported. His visa is being revoked. Understand the difference and stop wasting your time.

can a foreigner  stay in Thailand without a visa?

Ohh, now i get it. 

I thought I had to press that button whenever I cleaned myself. 

which luckily was not very often. But I always thought  it to be strange. 

Good to know.

a Titanium fire and then an explosion from a pacemaker would be a fine last joke for a farang to play on the old wife. You might even give her a heartattack and the two of you can get a two for the price of one cremation. 

Talk about going out with a bang!! and save some money. 

Songkran weekend and hiding in the house. 

what better time to make Mango turnovers.

The difficult part was finding mangoes this time of year 

but I managed to get my hands on a couple. 

peeled them removed the seed and chop them up

Three tbs of sugar, 2 tbs of cornstarch to thicken the mix . and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. 

over low heat for 3-4 minutes until sugar is melted. 

butter puff pastry squares with a few lines cut on the center of the top half. A tablespoon of filling on the center of the bottom half. 

Paint edges with egg wash

fold over and pinch edges  with fork. and paint outside with egg wash. 

bake at 400 f until golden brown, flip over and bake for a few more minutes . 

The white you see outside is a cake butter and sugar cake topping I had leftover from last week when I tried to make a layer cake. (not very successful but a good effort for a first time.) 

  Anyway here are the pictures, cause I know many of you have problems with words . especially big ones  

plenty of them to last me the weekent. Someone please call me and let me know when it is safe to go outside again.

But I warn you!! If I come out and don't see my shadow, I am going back in
