Does anyone have any recomendations on a photo software that they have use and really liked.

I have only used Pro Show Gold and while it does work it is not the easiest to use.

I am looking for something more user friendly and hopefully will be able to buy at Pantip plaza.

I want to burn all my pic's to a cd so i can watch them on the TV set with the dvd player. It would be a plus if I would be able to add text to the pic.

I know just enough about this to be dangerous so anybody's help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Son of a Beach, what the heck is happing with Thailand.

My wife won't go to phuket/Krabi because of all the ghost from the sunami. Now it sounds like Samui is a lawless island and the wife just told we should not go there. I am running out of beaches

to go too. At this rate in 19 years when I am able to retire to thailand I will have to go to another country just to find a safe beach.

somethings got to change before old Padkapow's dream of living on a beach in Thailand is SOL.

The Hypnotist's Mess

It was opening night at the theater and the Amazing Claude was topping the

bill. People came from miles around to see the famed hypnotist do his

stuff.

As Claude took to the stage, he announced, "Unlike most stage hypnotists

who invite two or three people up onto the stage to be put into a trance,

I intend to hypnotize each and every member of the audience."

The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a beautiful antique

pocket watch from his coat. "I want you each to keep your eye on this

antique watch. It's a very special watch. It's been in my family for six

generations."

He began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly chanting,

"Watch the watch, watch the watch, watch the watch..."

The crowd became mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth, light

gleaming off its polished surface. Hundreds of pairs of eyes followed the

swaying watch, until suddenly it slipped from the hypnotist's fingers and

fell to the floor, breaking into a hundred pieces.

"Shit!" said the hypnotist.

It took three weeks to clean up the theater

Keep her away from other Thais.

They will gossip, backstab and coach her on the finer points of divorce.

I couldn't agree more.

I couldn't agree less.

Maybe Linda on Little Britain will know what's with all these divorces....

Hiiiii Martin, it's Linda.

I've got Lek here. Wants to know why her marrage is on the rocks. Lek, you know LEK?

Yes yes, a young girl. Yes, the one with the twinkle in her eye, looks Thai with lovely long black hair. Quite petite, almost very pretty. Yes, 20 years younger.

Yes yes Martin that's right, Lek the mole.

YBB

huh?

Keep her away from other Thais.

They will gossip, backstab and coach her on the finer points of divorce.

I couldn't agree more.

I have seen this atleast a dozen times already. Jealousy seems to be the motivator for this behavior.

The new guy on the block is being set up from the get go. His wife married him for the green card and loves to tell the other thai women how much she is ripping him off. i feel sorry for the poor bastard. I tried telling him to get a prenup but he got offended, so now he on his way to becoming broke. Once she got her green card she leaves him for 6 months at a time going back to Thailand without him. She has to take care of the sick mother.

I was an enforcer. A case of beer and I would protect you from anyone. I was in too many fights to remember. Glad I grew out of that stage. Lost to many friends.

also played football and wrestling, but street fighting was in the blood.

I would have been in the rage catagory.

I am a very peaceful person now.

You must have a special tv to see what you want to see, because you fail to mention about homegren ranting and raving on the side lines. Which look alot more than Cowher did.

Offical Report from the NFL

The game was properly officiated, including, as in most NFL games, some tight plays that produced disagreement about the calls made by the officials," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in a statement.

Heck man you own coach even said the steelers are the better team.

I like all this talk about the Steelers should not have won. It will give them something to prove for next year. A chip on the shoulder so to speak.

this is good for the Steelers.

PKG

Pats

You are blinded by jealousy. The PI call was clearly the right call, but I will admit they probably would have not called that in the regular season. Also big Ben did cross the line, he just got knocked backward before he landed.

Bottom line is the Steelers are the Super bowl Champs.

enough said , that can't be disputed.

Oh by the way that #5 for the Steelers, how many for the Pats?

you still can't be sore that the Pats lost early in the Playoffs, can you.

PKG

Hardly a win for the Steelers, more like Seattle lost and the refs gave the Steelers the game.

Here is a good rundown of the game.

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/5310192

While I have to admit that was the Steelers worst game of the playoffs, they still won the game and it was not given to them. Seattle made a ton of mistakes, but so did the Steelers.

"ref's gave the game to the Steelers" wipe your tears and get over it. Clearly your tears have clouded your vision because the game I saw the ref did not give it away.

One for the thumb baby!

ONE FOR THE THUMB!

Just a suggestion, but I would send her to school right away. This will help her find a decent job to keep her busy. Now before members start flaming about my next remark remember this is just my own personal experience and I am not saying it is this way for everyone or it is thai women only.

I would try to distance her from other thai's in your area. I would say that 98% of the thai's in the area I live in are "super jealous" of what the other one has and this creates alot of back stabbing amongst them. (my wife also got caught up doing this )My wife and I went thru years of this and it started to effect our marriage. Now we rarely visit the other thai's and concentrate on our own family and life is great. We are nice when ever we run accross any of them when we are out but we always have an excuse ready incase they want to get together.

Maybe if you find her one or two thai friends it might be ok but when there gets to be a group of thai women hanging around together thats when the claws come out.

It has been the same in all 3 different places that we lived in over the last 19 years. I am 100% happy with my wife, the only problems we had were with her friends trying to get her to do things she did not want to do.

PKG

I learned my lesson the hard way also. I will never book thru any web site again. Since I was taken advantage of I will check out the hotels on the web and then go directly too the Hotel that I like and

take my chances on a walk in rate. The one thing I have notice just about at every hotel is they look alot nicer on the web than in person. Besides when you book on the web they usaully require a deposit that is dam near impossible to get back if you are not satisfied with the room.

Never book on the web!

The wife said, give it a couple of years and the ghost will be gone and we can go back there.

I hope so. Ao nang bay in Krabi is one of my favorite places in the world.

26 days and counting til I arrive in the LOS.

PKG

I for one will not be going to southern thailand on my trip.Not because of the muslims or rash of murders but because my wife is afraid of the ghost. It's a shame because it is such a beautiful place.

I lived with Mrs. Padkapow gal for 3 years before marrying her. going on 16 years in November, 19 years total

In the begining not all the ups and downs were between the sheets if you know what I mean. But I am glad We stayed the course.

She set the hook pretty deep and I could not get away.

PKG

My problem with the Steelers is that every time we beat them they came up with excuses; NEVER giving credit to the Patriots, and acknowledging that the best team, at least on that day, won.

But I have no respect for the rest of the team, or for most of the fans. Remember the wailing in 2001 when so many Steeler fans had already booked hotel rooms, and bought Super Bowl tickets, then had to sell them off when we beat them in the AFC Championship?

Every time we've faced them in the playoffs this decade, we've beaten them. But never have they shown good sportsmanship.

Pats

It's time to let go of those bad feelings. You have to move on and get over it. It's time to hop on the Bus. Besides there are 2 sides to every story and I am sure the majority of the steelers and fans acknowledge that the Patriots were the better team.

I think a lot of bad press gets made up because alot of the steeler fan base will travel to see there team play and there presents on another teams home field kinda make the people mad .

I was at the greenbay / steeler game at Lambeau and there was 22,000 plus steeler fans there and I can tell you that the people of greenbay are still complaining about that to this day. Alot are talking trash about steeler fans but the fact of the matter is of the 22 people arrested that day, 18 were from greenbay and 4 were from california.

There's good and bad with every team and the fans.

enough rambling, watch and enjoy the game.

PKG

Well, guys, unless you are a fan of the Steelers or the Seahawks, these 2 games gave us the most boring Conference Championship Sunday in recent memory. These 2 games are usually the best of the playoffs. A couple of real duds here for "neutral" footfall fans.

I hope for more out of the Super Bowl. I think the Seahawks have more on offense, and the Steelers more on defense. The Seahawks offense has excellent balance, with the running of Alexander, and the passing game of Hasselbeck.

I believe the Seattle defense can limit the Steelers offense. Take away the outside running options for Willie Parker, and the inside when Bettis is in the game, and you neutralize the Steelers running game. Roethlisberger will be the key. He's looked terrific in the last few weeks, using all of his receivers very well.

I expect a good game. I see the Seahawks winning it, 27-24.

Pats

You disappoint me. You should atleast be cheering for the AFC.

C'mon it not to late to hop on the BUS.

I hope everybody pic's seattle, the steelers play better with a chip on there shoulder.
