Canada has 2 “pensions“. OAS (old age security} and CPP (Canada pension plan). CPP is like US social security where you pay a portion of your wages and get a pension when you retire. You need 40 quarters (10 years) of employment to get paid. OAS is for people who don't get CPP and is means and income dependant. If you don't live in Canada after retirement, you need 20 years residency to get your OAS overseas. I worked in Canada for exactly 40 quarters, the minimum. I also worked in the US for exactly 40 quarters, the minimum for full social security there. There is an agreement between Canada and the US where you can't collect both pensions. My us pension would be around 3k USD when I start to take it at 70. My Canadian pension would be about 500 CDN. Guess which one I'll be taking.

Dentist recommendations in Pattaya? (need implant & crown)
gargamon replied to bungcheese's topic in Pattaya
I have a number of solid gold crowns, done in San Diego in the 90's. For sure solid gold as one had to be removed as the tooth broke, and I took it to a gold shop and sold it. 18 carat if I remember correctly. You do need to be careful these days as they are now using alloys with very low gold content and calling it gold. -
People around you can get annoyed if you have those bone conduction earphones when you play your music loud as they can hear it too. Try something like this. Never falls out. Oh, and this particular one is probably fake as mi doesn't manufacture this afaik.

You can take the girl out of Thailand but you can't take the Thailand out of the girl. If you don't have to live in the EU, then move back to Thailand. If you can't move back, you're going to need to get divorced.

Trump co-defendant pleads guilty in Georgia election case
gargamon replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I see you obviously know very little about how the US legal system works. Plea deals are negotiated where a suspect will plea to reduced charges in exchange for testimony against co-conspirators in the original case. Of course the RICO charges were dropped against the person that agreed to testify. And also of course, if the testimony isn't as promised the RICO charges will be brought back. Let me confuse you with more facts. Please note the perps doing the plea deal won't be sentenced until after Trump, etc. are finished with the case, so if they reneg on their testimony commitments the plea deal is canceled. In this particular situation, the sentencing will probably be delayed until after ALL cases against Trump that they may need to testify in are finished. -
We need a dedicated stock market forum
gargamon replied to Bunny Silverhand's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Looks to me like somebody wants to get a group of inexperienced investors so he/she/it can pump and dump some useless stocks they own. There's thousands of forums already doing this. Try reddit. No need to clutter AN up with another one. -

I use Android tv boxes all the time. The only thing I'm concerned about is malware doing Bitcoin mining. This is high cpu usage stuff so I monitor the cpu usage when the box is supposedly idle. If it's under 10% then it's not infected.

We are sure scraping the bottom of the barrel for this stuff, aren't we? Some fox news reject. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clayton_Morris

I think I've gone native for too long.

I've been in SE Asia for over 20 years. I think the last time I wore a condom was in high school. -

Yes, riding a motorcycle in flip-flops is silly. But for those scooters everybody drives here, flip-flops are fine. -

Does anyone know the name of this bar from this background clue?
gargamon replied to Senior Player's topic in Pattaya
How drunk were you? -
Why are people so slow to catch on? EVERYONE you have a financial transaction with is trying to maximize their profits. Doctors, dentists, auto mechanics, rental agents, etc. will potentially tell whatever story they can come up with to make you part with as much money as they can. Next time: Get multiple dentists to look at it. Check ratings on Google. Post a thread here looking for references.

Just move into one of those retirement/assisted living places. First level is just like living in a condo with some cleaning and checks. As you age/deteriorate you get as much support as necessary, to the worst case with Alzheimer's where you can get 24x7 one on one care if needed. No need to try to entertain the wife/gf. No need to worry that the wife/gf will panic when you have a crisis, etc. etc.

Complain to your homeowners association and see what they say. Oh, sorry. I forgot. This is Thailand.

Thailand Wrestles with the Ripple Effects of Cannabis Decriminalisation

Do they deliver alcohol or tobacco by express? Anyone, any age can order online and have it delivered cod the next day. -
And the clinic wanted to do a second one too. Extra 100bt I guess. I tried to see if DLT would accept 2 copies of the med certificate, but the pleasant girls there wouldn't have any of that so I gave them the original that I had with me.

Who says android tv boxes are illegal? This is the second thread you are stating this in just today. It's kind of hard to make a computer illegal just because it might be used to do something of questionable legality. It would be like stopping people from selling cars because they might speed.
