I hear that Thai people are going to really love eating rice... I am buying a rice field.

Yes, that I would believe... I had a nurse come into my room at 1 a.m. and found me sitting on the edge of my bed as I had just returned from the bathroom. She was concerned that I couldn't sleep so she knocked on my door [waking me up] 20 minutes later to see if I was sleeping... she did the same thing again 20 minutes after that. Yes, I would believe that - the patients must have been complaining.

Through your eyes, you see the world as you perceive it... same as the rest of us... and your side is colored by the mistakes you made and maybe remain unaware of, but willingly blame on others w/o seeing their side...

Well, won't there always be a need for caregivers for ill people. AI is not going to bring breakfast in bed or help the person to walk... but then again?? maybe they will??

How is your child coping? My kid embraces school and the hours are the same for the other students too. That said, I complain about the hours... she is tired all of the time - I hate to see her that way and I do not think it conducive to learning, but she is learning more and having fun less...

Just wait until you are 65+

From my little bit of observation, it seems that people are either diabetic or pre-diabetic, meaning most people will graduate at some point... and I know many with diabetes and yet who are asymptomatic w/o any treatment. I do understand the possibilities but I wonder if the # of people who actually suffer an affliction from this is a significant number? Sure, blindness and limb loss is nothing to sneeze at, but it seems that the people who have diabetes either manage it or never have symptoms?? My father had diabetes and never knew it. He died with it, not from it...

sounds like a good plan - I think the back log will have gotten better as the crowds were wanting passports for summer travel... 10 years ago, it only took me 10 days....... the problem was that nobody traveled during covid so they laid off trained workers - - then came the rush after covid and they were not fully staffed.. I think it will go well for you...

I never knew that my wife in USA was Thai... All this time I thought she was Engiish/Irish heritage...

just got mine back - took almost exactly 2 months - - Imm. let me do 90 day report w/no fine...

Do they charge for other services and include the cleaning free?

Thanks. Yes, I have an Apple desktop computer w/27 inch screen, so that works for me... I assume they have a very good selection?? And it is easily accessed??

Can we get this conversation off torrents and down to where I can best find movies, not action particularly and I don't mind paying...

Yes, but there are other movies that are far more interesting... I am not an action movie guy..

Sure. But, I would have thought that was equally difficult for music... and yet. Are torrents legal?

Do you stream and pay for movies individually - and how does that work? I have a very varied and eclectic taste in movies - I would love to catch up on older movies that I missed as well. I do have Netflix - but do paid for individual movies work the same way? Can I stop a movie and continue later/tomorrow? And who has the best selection? Will I need to buy from many different providers? Why don't one of you smart young lads put together a Spotify type service for movies?

They really need to work on the parking, exacerbated by the store owners who reserve the parking places on the street in front of their stores... But, I live out of town and still enjoy going in town... though there are good restaurants and massage out here too...

Actually sounds like it could be cleaner than stuff grown outside, amidst the poisons etc...

uh huh. how does that work? If others perceive it as cruel, well, surely for them it is...

I think there are places that you don't tip - like a dentist who is a professional and is probably wealthier than most of his customers - - However - at the payment counter, the receptionist, who also works as an assistant sometimes, has a tip box and I always drop 100 baht in there... she has been terrific and helpful to me. My barber definitely appreciates the small tip I include...

many people like them... no further reason needed... I have beautiful legs and never wanted to disrupt my natural beauty... also, I don't like pain - - and I am surely not going to waste money on that. It is one of those things that makes sense to me if they paid me, but still, not interested.

I have used Schwab for many years. And there are many products [ETF's] that track the markets... You can check their performance through the years and make your own choice. I wanted to find something here for my niece, a Thai person... and Kasikorn does have a service that offers investing in overseas... but she did not meet the qualification of being 21...

Helping people less fortunate is a very good thing...

Because w/pants on it won't show up in a job interview....

Or maybe just kindness and respect - - a touch of nam jai
