My father was very smart in business and math, which he used to disguise what a jerk he was... It took me until about 30+ years of age to realize that he promises things but doesn't deliver. He was a screwed up guy, but that doesn't mean that I was not smart enough not to repeat his mistakes. You live, you watch and you learn, even if that is merely what not to be...

My wife's best friend works as a maid in Bkk... she is getting on in years, but she is in demand - she may have a couple of days a week free if that helps. I have known her personally for over 20 years. PM me for more info.

What have we here? Same frog

We have to go to New Hampshire? It's cold there - I prefer to stay home... my home is designed to be more comfortable than a resort...

To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe To bear with unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go To right the unrightable wrong To love pure and chaste from afar To try when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star This is my quest to follow that star No matter how hopeless, no matter how far To fight for the right without question or pause To be willing to march into Hell for a heavenly cause And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest And the world will be better for this That one man, scorned and covered with scars Still strove with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable star This is my quest to follow that star No matter how hopeless, no matter how far To fight for the right without question or pause To be willing to march into Hell for a heavenly cause

I sleep with the remote and adjust according to comfort...

Sunday 8 a.m. - - Chiang Mai AQI 90. {Bangkok 76 } Weather clear and cool now in CM

Not unusual. We have sat in the land office counting x=cash many times...

At home Thai food near always - - eat out, food farang... mostly.

Do they have solid colors too?

The problem is not in the truth - the problem is in the convincing, as you know - - However, if she drinks the soup and hermindset is that it will make her sick... it might just do that.

My office and bedroom have a/c - and my car has terrific a/c... who could ask for anything more?

I went a few times years ago - - - when I thought the speakers might be interesting... not too much so. until they took questions and people would stand up and start telling their life story If you are talking about the Saturday morning buffet breakfast put on by Dukes - yes, I would go to that again.

I don't eat steak in Thailand unless it is pork. Tartare or not. But, if you are looking for kosher - probably not.

not really random

My wife has seen some nice prefab homes on the internet - we are looking for a guest cottage. Is there any place relatively local to Chiang Mai where we can see some in real life, not just photos? Does anyone have experience with such homes? Some are very inexpensive...

That must be why they call them x-ray machines...

I think i read somewhere that it is honor system??

others are saying that if the money was earned in the past then it would not be taxable when brought in?

So, lets say you currently have a bank account with $1,000,000 and you earn $100,000 this year but it all goes into the same account - - - and you bring $100,000 into Thailand every year... would you not owe taxes for ten years?

1. What about money that has been earned, banked and taxed a long time ago and then brought here this year? 2. What about money earned this year in the stock market in the USA but is not brought here? Thanks

maybe one of them is a tailor?

I need one pair of black pants for a graduation how much should it cost and any recommendations welcome.

profits, trends and interest rates... mostly interest rates - and it is an election year... I went heavy [for me] back into the market the end of October... lucky timing helps.
