"hello , my name is Somsak"

I love it. Did you make that up?

I've never owned 7 of those albums. Never, ever.

I work and am a resident in SIngapore for a US based company and I get paid in the States. Based on getting paid in the states, Singapore does not tax me.

Do people who live in Thailand get taxed if they are a resident?

Here here to the Thais!!

Thailand retains NFL Flag Football title

(Aug. 26, 2006) -- Thailand retained the NFL Flag Football World Championship with a thrilling 45-32 victory over Canada in Cologne, Germany. The Chaopraya Wittayakom School from Bangkok outscored the Ecole River Heights Middle School team from Manitoba and came up with some key defensive plays to deny the Canadians a shot at a comeback. Thailand led 39-32 going into the final minute of action and managed one more score to put the game out of Canada's reach.

"We are very proud to win the championship for Thailand and the Canadian team gave us a very difficult challenge in the final," said running back Yutthana Ngoenmueang. "We worked very hard this week and even though we lost one of our group games we knew we could become champions."

Thailand almost scored on the game's opening play, but Colton Farago halted a lofted connection between Chinnawat Wongsuwan and Natthawut Khambuakhot at the 1-yard line before Ngoenmueang gave Thailand the early lead. That advantage was stretched to 19-7 by halftime and after Thailand's defense held firm. Wongsuwan found Ngoenmueang in the corner of the end zone to establish an 18-point cushion.

The teams traded touchdowns twice before Canada found itself within reach of tying the game at 32-26 when tournament male MVP Ben Allen made a spectacular one-handed catch for a touchdown with 1:22 remaining. But Canada was powerless to stop the speed of Ngoenmueang, who streaked behind the defense that anticipated a run to use up the clock, and caught a touchdown for a 39-26 lead.

Allen again pulled Canada to within seven points, but with 20 seconds remaining and the Thai offense proving difficult to contain, Panumat Winitphon rushed through the middle of the Ecole Heights defense to seal the game at 45-32.

The Fujitsu Junior Frontiers from Kawasaki claimed Japan's highest finish since being runners-up in the inaugural 2000 event by beating Spain's Pere Vives Vich from Igualada into third place. Fifth in the standings went to China's Pei Zhen Middle School of Guangzhou, who pushed Da Vinci College Leonardo of Leiden in the Netherlands into sixth spot. The Schuldorf Bergstrasse Hillsiders from Seeheim Jugenheim finished seventh, Suri Middle School from Seoul, Korea came in eighth, Mexico's Las Aguilas were ninth and the Team USA DAC Panthers finished tenth.

There was double cause for celebration for Canada when receiver Ben Allen was named the tournament's male MVP and Emily Zarychta took the female award.

The NFL is proud to partner with Reebok, EA and Gatorade and promote this prestigious coed tournament, which motivates boys and girls to participate in a fun and safe sport.

I recommend going to Venice and hanging out on the Boardwalk...get yerself a teeny weeny bikini and sum roller skates and strut your stuff. Later go up to a fast food mexican place (there are lots) up on Lincoln Blvd and pig out. I lived a block from the boardwalk for four years in late 70s...a great place...

Mexican food. That is what I miss the most about USA.

You need to give fish tacos a go. Wahoo's or Baja Fresh is good, fast fish tacos in many locals in the LA area.

Authentic fish tacos are in Ensenada/Rosarito, South of the border in Mexico. Perhaps you should go one or 2 days to these party towns.

Carnitas - That is some good tender fried pork you can find in authentic mexican restaurants

Mariscos - seafood mexican plates, particularly the camarones (shrimps) dishes

Menudo - Great hangover soup.

Mexican Breakfast?? I'm glad you asked. Chile Verde smothered omelettes - yum. Huevos con Chorizo (Eggs with spicy sausage) - good too

I like that lie about having a new gf; particularly to save Meow's bacon.

But first, I'd have someone "borrow" the truck then claim he was in accident.

Tip,

All things will pass. I posted i had a similar poison phone call a while back.

Me and my tgf had some good laughs about it yesterday when I told her your story and others had gone through this.

Back then, all the anger and hurt affected her and I. Nobody knew who to trust. We couldn't figure out what the game was and what the intention was.

THe best part was when my tgf called the "guy" and he asked who she was. 8-P

The best way I could deal with the situation was realizing that this stuff does happen and its part of living life; particularly in long distance relationships. I also realized that I had not been a saint myself; so, it it was true, so be it.

If your wife uses a computer from an internet cafe, and failed to log out the next person using that computer would be able to read all of her E mails to you, and all of your E mails to her. They would also be able to obtain your E mail address and sent this as a prank.

At 1 AM?

This has been an interesting read.

I too had one of those poison phone calls. It came from a falang pretending to know alot of stuff about my tgf.

I asked my tgf about this man. SHe said she knew nothing about him and asked for his phone #.

Well, the guy got a lot of phone calls and soon stopped answering his phone.

He's never been heard of again.

Since then, my tgf and I have had a wonderful relationship. Better than ever.

Long distance relationships are hard but also can be wonderful. I had entertained the thought of hiring a PI but really, I don't have any reason to at this time.

Tip, I wish you the best.

While in LA, rent a Mustang convertible. Or rent a Viper or Corvette. Drive em! Find out why LA has a car culture.

The beaches as mentioned above. Venice is good to see the many different walks of life.

Long Beach and Huntington Beach are also decent beaches besides the LA ones mentioned before.

Six Flags for roller coaster rides!! All day

Run with the Hash House Harriers. Many crazy chapters in LA area.

Check out San Diego. Go to an AMerican Football game including the pregame tailgate parties (food and drink prior to the game)

Vegas. Well, you can spend a whole week there if you had the money. Take a helicopter tour of the dam and canyon from Vegas. Listen to Sheryl Crow's "Leaving Las Vegas" at 3 am in some buffett restaurant.

OP, why you think mak mak about you no good English. My wife you can poot English or not?

Why you no go Bangkok for buy book English? I do same same and English good now.

I stay long holiday Phuket before, and I talking with 2 man Australia.Man say me "Its o.k. mate, I can speak <deleted>@@ing English, you know." I no understand why man him no good.

Johnson: Karr may be crazy, but he's not the right man

Bill Johnson

August 19, 2006

I've had enough. So I will just come right out and say what others in this business apparently will not:

Mary Lacy, that's not your boy.

John Mark Karr as much killed JonBenet Ramsey as Mickey Mouse did. This is a fool's errand you're on, and it won't end pretty.

If you haven't noticed, the guy is a lunatic.

OK, my upbringing tells me that it is a lousy thing to say about anyone. So let me put it this way: He is the saddest of all sad cases, a delusional, completely whacked out, early-teen-girl-marrying sociopath who writes bad poetry to long-dead little girls.

Perhaps that's better.

What I'm saying is no different than anyone capable of reading a newspaper or watching a television is saying.

On CNN this morning, I swore the two anchors were going to fall over laughing after they ran for the 35th-something time the audio of John Mark Karr making his wild, "It was an accident" claim.

Most journalists in this town and across the globe have been falling over themselves trying not to - in the words of Mrs. Lacy - "rush to judgment" on this fool, all the while rupturing an intestine to keep from laughing.

Not me. I can barely get up off the floor.

I watched on TV Thursday as Mary Lacy stood on a big stage, flanked on each side by a line of stiff, grim-faced G-men and cops, solemnly speaking of the "exigent circumstances" that necessitated the man's arrest in Bangkok.

On the other channel is yet more footage of John Mark Karr, staggering, half-leaning and vacant-eyed, in to his press conference, looking like a poor Pee-wee Herman impersonator.

"I'm so sorry for what happened to JonBenet," he said.

Please.

Even the Bangkok police, notorious for arresting people whether they need arresting or not, reportedly figured it out early, that this Pee-wee was whack-o.

Even they knew John Mark Karr couldn't have picked up JonBenet from school on the day he says he killed her, it being Christmas and all.

Maybe I'm wrong. It wouldn't be the first time I've fingered the wrong killer in this case. I still maintain I've got it at least half right.

Remember Tom Koby, the Boulder police chief at the time of the murder? He once went on TV and into the newspapers declaring he was about to hunt the killer down, that he or she wouldn't get away with it.

Call me cynical, but I don't think he had John Mark Karr in his cross hairs at the time.

Just for fun, let's say Mary Lacy has it right. Think of it.

It would make John Mark Karr the dumbest smart murderer who ever lived.

He somehow sneaked into what was then 755 15th St. in Boulder, figured out in which bedroom his "love," JonBenet was sleeping, got her downstairs unnoticed, fed her pineapple, drugged and sexually assaulted her before smashing her in the head and garroting her to death.

According to his account, such deliberation was done all "by accident."

Yet he is not done. He sits down and writes a ransom note. Maybe he did it before the pineapple thing. No matter. He scratches out a first draft. It isn't good enough.

He sits down and crafts a second one. He drops it and skedaddles.

It is a clean getaway, not a trace of John Mark Karr left behind. What's more, the coroner finds not a trace of either semen on or drugs in the girl.

Perfect crime.

And then what, 10 years later he comes clean? In Bangkok?

I'm not even waiting for the DNA tests to come back. I know the guy didn't do it.

How do I know?

Her name is Lara Knutson, the divorced wife of John Mark Karr and the mother of his children.

On Friday, she publicly said the guy was with her and the kids in Alabama on Christmas Day 1996, that they hardly had anything, much less money for a trip to Colorado.

Now, ex-wives will say and do a lot of things, but trust me, the last thing they'd ever do is risk jail time to provide your sorry backside with a phony alibi.

If I'm wrong, that is just dandy with me. DAs and cops on murder cases always tell you to just wait, that there are things they know that they just can't talk about right now.

They said the same thing in Boulder 10 years ago.

So go for it, Mary Lacy.

Being wrong again this time, though, does come with a heavy price.

On television the day of the arrest, you might remember, JonBenet Ramsey's relatives exulted over the news.

I felt sorry for them, fearful - if not certain - that once again because of blind overeagerness or sheer incompetence, Boulder authorities will disappoint them, scraping that unbearably painful 10-year-old wound.

The little girl's memory and the loved ones who survive her deserve knowing and peace, not this.

That the first time John Mark Karr ever steps foot in Boulder County will be the day Mary Lacy flies him in, well, that is simply sad and embarrassing. Not funny at all.

Wasn't there supposed to be a competency hearing first???

Is this the Yaba anonymous thread or what

Imagine being stuck with him in a bar...

I have to laugh till I cry on the pure character genius

stuck would be right. How could you leave waiting for somebody to be kickboxed at the slightest provocation.

I understand the desire to share our good fortune with others. I am certain that it is wonderful when a person's level of financial security improves so that 1) the level of financial worry significantly decreases, 2) and the freedom to pursue your interests increases. This is a very meaningful change for a person.

Unfortunately, it appears that there can be a cost to sharing knowledge of our good fortune with others because it can be disturbing and upsetting for those who are less fortunate.

My view, is that the disclosure of financial information often creates feelings of jealousy, envy, and resentment. This can cause people to grow further apart, rather than closer together. These kinds of discussions can bring out the worst in people.

Given any two people, one person will almost always be better off than the other. It is easy for one person to feel bad.

Disclosure of financial information seems to create unnecessary risk, and does not seem to offer much significant benefit. I don't think that the exchange of financial knowledge will change how much people like each other, but it may interfere with their friendship.

Plus, when you state you are retired at 40, that typically implies you worked your butt off for 20 or so years and sold the business with enough money to spend the rest of your years golfing. It usually is a sign of success. That may chafe people as they have to work into the 60s to have enough money to retire or collect benefits.

From Yahoo report:

"........London's Heathrow airport was the departure point for a devastating terrorist attack on a Pan Am airplane on Dec. 21, 1988. The blast over Lockerbie, Scotland, killed all 259 people aboard Pan Am Flight 103 and 11 people on the ground.

The explosive was hidden in a portable radio which was hidden in checked baggage......."

so, what is being done to inspect cargo now with the new threat?

Didn't it say his first wife died too?

What was he doing with his first wife presuming there were others

?

Udon,

I hadn't read anywhere yet it was muslims. Are you guessing. hehe

Speculation: What kind of group could be behind this plan to blow up planes and kill innocent people?

A) a group of rowdy rugby players?,

Mel Gibson supporters demanding his release from rehab?,

C) Some crazy University science class students?

For what purpose does it serve?

This is Thai related because you can best believe all international travel will be affected.

This means you can't buy a book or any of the duty free items before a flight unless they develop a checkin procedure for airport purchases.

I don't like that I have to part with my wallet and computer on a flight. In Thailand trips in particular.

I am sure Thailand airport has handlers with sticky fingers. I know of 2 occasions where items came up missing.

Good vasectomy story Scott.

I read this story and things read fairly similar to a story of mine. I did the DNA test and found out the same conclusion, not mine. Its a wild roller coaster to go through that.

I guess that makes me a &lt;deleted&gt;.
