  1. although this has been covered, i prefer to keep a hard copy of the photo page and most current retirement visa extension stamp in my ''man bag''. which now weighs so much it should be registered as a ''weapon of mass destruction'' . altho' off topic, i also carry one plasticized copy of each of the merchant's bills i deal with where i have membership. I'm getting old. often i forget to take the Makro card with me. a copy of a Makro bill is always accepted. Ditto with presenting a copy of a bill, with the tax number of my company, for obtaining tax receipts at Home Pro, Thaiwatasadu, etc. etc.
  2. Hi all LINE users. I need advice, about the ''search'' function. whilst on a chat with one friend, i entered BANK at the search function ( i was trying to locate bank details this friend sent to me).. Instead of listing only the chats with the word 'bank' the app listed 100% of our chats.i started deleting some of this. but i think i am on the wrong track. i removed the word 'bank' from the search function and keyed in the search function again. nothing changed. now i cannot continue with my chat. (this only applies to this one friend. how to reverse the results of a search? many thanks in advance.
  3. I'll wager the opposite - continuing under-performance of the Thai baht, regardless of rate changes by the US FedEx. this Pua Thai coalition is trying its best to be more incompetent than the coup makers. i keep my pension coming in to a Canadian bank account. so that I can monitor FX rates, before transferring the 65k monthly. this allows me to earn 10% tax free in Thailand, on what used to be my 800k.
  4. 555 if Justin really was buddies with Trump, Saint Pierre would be turning in his grave.
  5. that must have been a tough experience. thanks for sharing. i imagine there is a thread on depression and not just faled marriages?
  6. your post says it all. Thank you on behalf of all of us with partners suffering from depression. I would never abandon the vows i made, 52 years ago, just because the bi-polar she inherited only became apparent in mid age. Access to a psychiatrist, at some stage is important to get prescribed for up to date treatment.
  7. thanks MIke, for all the effort you put in to starting a new version of this thread - which will keep it thread on an even keel.
  8. that was an extraordinary moment in UK/Irish history. there's a great movie, that catches the moment ''The Journey'' - McGuiness & Paisley
  9. typical American shoot-from-the-lip reaction. you completely missed the point i made. which was that the electoral system sucks, as it designed by the authors of the US Constitution to be a compromise between election by Congress versus election by popular vote. the informed world knows that the US Congress is bought and paid for. the result is, more often than not, the popular vote is ignored. do you need pictures to comprehend common sense? no wonder your country is f'd up. regardless of Dems or GOP, it is half way towards a fascist state.
  10. but surely the question is, what is a dysfunctional relationship? certainly the OP's relationship seems to have gone south a long time ago. people with mental health issues are a different kettle of fish. it is by staying in a relationship with someone suffering from depression that your character truly get tested. imho.
  11. no way institutional investors are going to invest in Thai baht bonds or equity, so long as there is a risk that the baht might be devalued by the foreign currency speculators. again.
  12. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_States_presidential_election>. i have no time for Hillarious Hillary. but the numbers say: Trump 46% (62.9 million votes) Hillary 48% ( 65.8 million votes ) . I imagine that you are one of those Americans who has never ventured outside of your village.
  13. 🙂 would you please send a 2nd verification for that, please.? I will give you a glimpse of the Road to Hell: my wife is 82. passport is from 2017. 2 part verification scanning software does not recognize her today, as the same face that had when she was 75. Seriously, her country of birth refuses to communicate with her other than by a digital mail app which uses this system. In the future - we. are. all. (deleted). 😉
  14. I'm Irish Canadian and PM Trudeau did the same. we Irish are ''the blacks of Europe''. so, no problems with Jimmy and 'black face' here. on the same show he joked about Saints Patrick and Saint Fatty - also he cracked a joke about Biden in a 'frozen position' a recent WH party, as everyone danced - describing his moves as 'The Harlequin'' dance. Reality is for people who can't handle the effects of smoking a joint. PC sucks.
  15. I'm using Win 11 on a Surface Pro 6. I am planning to do a back up and clean instal. but first, I thought I would check are my problems common, since they have only arisen within the past month or so. I have several gmail accounts - one private and the other for public use. I have selected 2 step verification for my private gmail account. But - I do not want it to automatically default to that system on my secondary accounts. What can I do? thanks. the 2nd issue, very recently, is to do with Facebook. Every lime i log on, i am asked for a 2 step verification, altho' that is a function that I did not select. in addition, when i go to Messenger, it requests me to sync my messages, by inputting a pass code (which displays boxes for 6 keystrokes. my PIN is 4 keystrokes, so how do i go about resetting the Messenger pass code?? would be very grateful for advice re: this.
  16. speaking of vpn's. my vpn keep defaulting to Cambodia. as a result I get regular messages from google search engine that asks me to do those goddamn never ending picture tests (because of malicious usage) a review of the list of Thai vpn's says system is under repair.
  17. if you're new to this kind of humour, you ought to watch some of the late great Dave Allen's tv shows.? https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1628217957989406&set=g.267585316718
  18. watching that video and many other Trump 'rants' - I often ask myself - is there an organ grinder standing behind the stage .?
  19. Did you know Trump deducted a German bank loan he defaulted on, as a business expense? He reminds me of the old (very non-PC) joke: if you ask a Jew what's 2 and 2? He'll tell you ''it depends on whether you're buying or selling''
  20. grant you, i've no idea. all I know is Trump won POTUS in 2016 with less than the popular vote. btw, we Irish elect our President ''by the people for the people''. which is a far cry from the totally f(deleted) up US political system.
