except the people in the dog feed business...

sounds like a good idea... take some time to get them acclimatized before they are ill... i am sure they will be best off near caring family members.

Are you trying to say that you and I are different in some ways?

I pay mine annually and I think they give me a discount for that... 3bb is used for my computer/internet use in the house... the telephone would not be a substitute for that...

Have you at least benefitted by the free footwear exchange programs at the entrance to the temple?

just think how much lower it would have been for you if you had not been donating... j

I am confused... there is a big difference between money earned [all of mine is taxed but sometimes at different rates as it is a long standing account... and money brought into the country?? Which is taxed and how much? If I have an account that combines all of my earned money, who would know which money has been spent? I have capital gains from stock trading, dividend income, social security income - ps - my interest earnings on my bank account here is also figured into my USA taxes... How does this all get sorted out?

I would probably feel that way.. it's been a long time.

you can bank on that.

Didn't you recently post that you needed a diet of rice to save enough for the 800k for a retirement visa?

Ghost sure. Put out a glass of water, some bananas and light some incense.

feng Shui people should be considerately put in their proper place ... actually my farang wife had a Feng Shui degree and one thing that does make sense is that my desk had to face the office door so that I could head on see anyone who entered the room, thereby freeing up the rest of my mind which did not have to be concerned about being surprised..

I had a TURP about 8 years ago - any meds were only partial % solutions for me... now ok.

sure, I had my coffee at 5:00 a.m. but I will surely go back to sleep...

You might try a spray to clear your sinuses...

Thanks - this still seems to have complications... If I am reading this correctly, then since my income earned on Treasuries and stocks in the USA are already taxed, then I will not owe additional taxes on this?

What has had a wonderful impact on my life has been "mindfulness" meditation... it is not uncommon for your mind to drift - just gently bring it back to the meditation. Check out John Cabot Zinn... Everything you do can have a meditative aspect - I like walking meditation -

I like Sriphat.

I have heard it said If you remember that everyone is crazy the mystery disappears and life stands explained.

If I remember correctly, you have stock market investments... is that in some way taxable? And if you bring money into Thailand, how is it determined if it is money that you made in previous years and is sitting in USA savings? I have stock, T-bills, money market accounts... all my money is from long standing accounts...

And there was no football game on yet..

If you use a credit card to buy groceries or whatever - - and you pay that CC in your home country where it is issued but used for buying things here - is that considered bringing money into Thailand? My bank account at home includes SS, savings and stock market earnings... all mixed together. How would it be decided as to which funds are being used? Who is going to be able to keep track of these things

plenty of sugar in the processed kind - -

Good for you - - - I have found that my good deeds here are appreciated.
