used to sleep on a wooden floor with no furniture when i first moved here.

Now I am rolling in it.

That is quite an accomplishment... how do you roll in a wooden floor?

Not by mental arithmetic in Thailand!

Most Thais need a calculator for that!

😆

but they don't need anything to understand that they are being mocked by someone who does not like them

What was the problem? How did it all work itself out in the end?

 

Me: Had a very untrained pitbull dumped on me by a relative (pitbull debate? Start your own thread).

 

Dumb as a rock, very sweet, 'had a bad habit of forcefully licking visitor's crotches -which is literally a buzz kill from a dog known for dismemberment.

 

Googled. Found a pitbull rescue organization. Actually found 2, a pitbull bidding war almost ensued. 'Went with The Lesbians -woke or what? 'Gone the next day.

 

You?

 

Additional thought: I lived for a long time in England. England is about a 1,000% more humane and evolved in terms of breed dogs than the USA. Prob the rest of Europe too.

I went with the lesbians too... I didn't notice any pitbulls?

Yeah, that's worth getting into an altercation and risking the other guy having a weapon on him or having friends nearby gang up on you.

And the violent altercation being filmed.

That is reasonable - I don't think that was part of the equation. 

one good reason to buy local... 

we also have a nearby handy shop where they do repairs quite reasonably. Maybe try that.

then go around helping random needy people.

It's not as easy and unproblematic as you may think. Many appreciate it but others want to become dependents. It can get complicated.

One of the definitions or characteristics of a "fox" is "trickery and deceit".

 

Fox news. Get it?

 

 

If I do get it, is there a pill for it?

next month we are paying 400,000 baht for a nephew's ordainment party... there will be a few days of food for the entire village and a few days of music etc...

so, 500,000 is probably not too far from the bottom rung of wedding expenses for people with some money.

I know about the protection from banks with a credit card, but what about a debit card? I have had 3 withdrawals from sources I had never heard of amounting to over 3000Bt in the past two weeks even though I told the bank not to pay out. Do I have any protection with a debit card?

have you considered asking the bank?

It has always been the eyes...

You may have heard that Taurine has shown very good results in life extension in mice.

I will pick some up for my mice - maybe they will want to spend more time outside the house.

Same situation out in Doi Saket... for seemingly nothing and often we lose power...

I lived in a very small village far from a city in another province - much more reliable electric service than here.
