I've never been to NZ - I guess I shouldn't expect much - huh?

"Bang bang..." Cher

unless you want to be kind to someone who is poor.

That doesn't sound like getting your money back... "the food was awful and the portions were too small" - old joke.

Yes, she does...

So, only rocket science is really rocket science?

And you said again... some people don't read every single post before responding... that's life.

some, for sure

less than 180 days so no tax liability??

Zero time ironing... though always freshly pressed... And as to another question?? I have two Mynah birds that visit every day and often - they even come in the house to check out the dog food and poop on the floor... They are not timid and hang around the pool when I am in... we chat as well, doing my best to mimic their sounds... I assume they are a couple - a minor Mynah and a major Mynah though they exhibit no signs of hierarchy...

Once I avoid you, I should be fine as I have been my entire life...

If I had faries in or around my garden, you bet I would consult them...

Those who can - - do. Those who can't, need to know?

I have been surprised but her comparative youth in contrast is a shining star.... in Comma-lot.. in short there's simply not...

got the home, just need the staff

I doubt that she has any delusions about the sun shining out of his toot...

I assume if Thailand is like other places, the tax is determined by the item, not the cost. In other words, the tax on bringing in a motorcar is not the same as the tax of bringing in a computer.... and then you have the added confusion that many many item can be looked at differently by customs officials... if you bring in drinking glasses, it could be viewed as kitchen items, glasses, items of glass, or crystal.. and each might have a different rate of taxation... that is how it is in the USA and probably here too...

What if your GF is the one who is ill? Are you capable of the sacrifices of being a caregiver?

maybe cause "it" is actually a person?

Well, so, there you have it.

one of my best friends ever in this lifetime was a Thai motorcycle guy in Bangkok... Very tough looking guy but one of the kindest and most decent men I have ever met. We had many adventures together. One year I paid $300 for him to have a life-saving operation. He gave me his grandfathers ring which I wear every day for the last 20 years. 10 years later,, he told me he finally had enough money to pay m back for the operation. Sure, I turned it down. Lost contact with him but will never forget the strength of his character and goodness.

maybe your not charging enough

Is that an issue for you? Just kidding - have a sense of humor.

I learned that it was more likely kids outside of cities who get involved with drugs because they are bored. They have more to amuse themselves with in a city.

I don't like phones - I don't like being interrupted by calls - and yet, I don't know what I would do w/o my phone. I don't watch movies or read books on my phone - I don't surf the web... And yet, if my wife or daughter need me for anything - I am at their disposal in seconds. It is my camera, my message center for friends who want to keep in touch, I do use it to check stock futures when I am out, I do use the GPS to guide me to new restaurants and places. And just for the ability to communicate and message, I don't know how I lived w/o it for so many years.
