Sounds like business as usual... But, not at my bank. I have had the same account for over 20 years and the management knows me and the account is locked down other than our regular transactions.

lady cooks don/t scratch their nuts... mostly... I didn't forget, just didn't mention it along with the inevitable sneeze if they are near cooking nam phrik or basil...

Funny wording, but yes, I have known for many years that I will die in Thailand. The only time I have left in the last 25 years was to visit my elderly parents. They are gone 12 years now and I have not left since then. My family is here. I have no desire to leave them.

That can get expensive.. but worth it surely. I find that I can hit a cycle every 6-8 months or so... I keep enough in the bank here that it doesn't matter too much though I can make more on my money leaving it in the states... it adds a bit of security if I leave larger amounts here.

5,000 I think... I use my own bank account.

What time?

or no fried food at all... just the smell of it makes me sick... ooo-wuk...

You are not looking correctly... at least that is what my wife might say... Actually my wife is not well and is on a clean food diet... no seafood, rather bland. Though we don't eat out, my wife will still use some sort of corn oil at home but not often.

And they put plenty of msg and some sugar... I vote with you. Not healthy... and for me, not delicious either.

I am going to say 'things change' - - Can you remember this ditty about urban decay? Not so scary anymore... There's a holdup in the Bronx, Brooklyn's broken out in fights. There's a traffic jam in Harlem That's backed up to Jackson Heights. There's a scout troop short a child, Khrushchev's due at Idlewild Car 54, Where Are You? source: https://www.lyricsondemand.com/tvthemes/car54whereareyoulyrics.html

I use an agent and everything is as easy as pie... takes less time than reading your post - and the cost for me is negligible... love my agent.

What about this seems casual?

Well, you do seem to realize it is a trend - look at a graph, it goes up and down... did you take note and exchange money, bring more money here when the rate was favorable? Did you comment here? The wheels on the bus go round and round -

They didn't get along too well either... but at least no smackdowns...

Can you recommend a place in CM area to repair and re-paint a couple of car dings?

ommmmmmmm....

No debt...

And how did you come by the ownership? Just kidding - lighten up

Cleaned? First we check its BMI to see if it deserves to be cleaned in the first place - Mama don't wan no diabetic legged a/c coming round' here! ok - once a year and it is cleaned by my maid's nephew who seems like a conscientious and capable young man - - if he kills me, she would lose a customer... and I roll the dice from there...

Start with - nobody understands this: however...

From what I can see, it started many years ago... they used to earn $1000 a year and then the call centers moved there and they started earning $10,000 a year and came here on vacation as what they felt was wealthy tourists who deserved special privileges for their phenomenal wealth.. maybe that is still going on.

I can't tell from the photo = but mai Daeng = is a reddish wood I think mostly from Malaysia?? mai sak = teak

What do you use for free portfolio tracking of equities daily? I have a Schwab account which is fine but I also have an investment account with my bank. They send monthly statements but I would like to track those investments daily... Or does Schwab offer that service too?

It's perception and perspective... I like my life, better and worse and I think you do too... If a person is so wildly concerned with giving off the perception of being a winner that he fights tooth and nail to be considered as such and spends much of his time that way, he is not much of a winner to me... I guess it depends on your values.

What if you are horribly unhappy? He mostly likes to play golf, does not like to be criticized, and by most all accounts is a very angry fellow who cannot control his emotions and requires a diaper. He has never had love come his way, he does not love others, including his children and his wife hates him. He has failed/bankrupt many businesses and has a long history of being involved in disputes averaging 3 per week when in business. Many accounts don't consider him a billionaire, though likely he is, he would certainly like to be richer and he does not seem to be satisfied with too much in his life. Even with all the advantages he had in life, financially, he does not seem like a happy man.
