  1. The universe...
  2. I have learned mostly by speaking with people and pronunciations amongst different people can vary a little too. It is a challenge. Just try and be open to it and hopefully after much repetition, your ear will lead the way.
  3. You can take money out of a bank w/o an atm card...
  4. The heat index (HI) is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity, in shaded areas, to posit a human-perceived equivalent temperature, as how hot it would feel if the humidity were some other value in the shade. The result is also known as the "felt air temperature", "apparent temperature", "real feel" or "feels like". For example, when the temperature is 32 °C (90 °F) with 70% r... Wikipedia
  5. absolutely true but others do lose things.. the odds are way against it, but you must be aware that it can and does happen... A friend of mine had an iphone lifted by an older lady, just because she saw an opportunity while he slept and lifted out of his bag that was next to him. He was able to track it and did get it back with help from local police. If it is something of importance, like $$ and passports, I would always keep it secured on my person... if you have something that you cannot afford to lose, keep it tight... I keep my bags under my eyes.
  6. Yes, you are correct, however - HOWEVER!! - - coming from an outsider, who always touts himself as perfect and talks about bonking his GF w/great pride, it is not really in your ballpark... I don't criticize things in your country - - it is called 'good manners' - - the USA definitely has problems... you probably shouldn't be critical unless you want to get it thrown back at you... it is enough to endure your bragging..
  7. Yes, when I went to visit a friend out of state - a lady who was a mutual friend of my wife and I did a tarot card reading for me... OMG!! you and your wife split up... which was pretty common knowledge at the time...
  8. Not easy, you would be lucky to find a copy... My father had absolutely amazing good luck... and he believed in himself or the luck and did very well for himself. I have good luck too, but nothing like what he had... if there was a raffle - 200 people present, he won, sure.
  9. Liars and posers are often easy to spot...
  10. There are waves that we pick up on - the same way that you tune 2 guitars to each other through the vibration of strings... if you are 'on the same wave length' as another, you will pick up on things... I have had that experience w/some people, including my wife...
  11. sure, but how much time do you spend with him lately?
  12. only 1% of people can be in the top 1% at any given time..
  13. which is pretty miraculous.
  14. Well, hate to point out the obvious but it seems to be working well for him, whatever he is doing... positive thinking is often pointed to as a road to success... and if the fortune teller is giving him that attitude, then why not... My guess is that we don't know even 1% of what goes on in the universe... so, who knows. maybe you should give it a try...
  15. Were you at the seafood buffet? That is what I am asking about - I would not eat in the regular restaurant there...
  16. My always lucky father, won the publisher's clearing house sweepstake... it was proclaimed in big letters on the envelope. He sent them a check for $765 - though nobody knew why that amt and he denied writing it... that was when we knew the dementia had reached serious proportions.
  17. I guess I will just have to keep remembering where I parked...
  18. same rule pretty much anywhere. You dont get involved in domestic disputes as you dont jnow the whole story.
  19. when I was first here in 1974 - - if you saw another farang on the street, you both stopped to say hello and exchange information, good restaurants, best place to stay etc...
  20. we have white... so, sort of tired of it. Does black really get hotter? Enough so to matter? seems like black white and silver are our only choices for the Toyota we want... red is not for me...
  21. I would assume better quality food - that is coughed on but much more delicious than inexpensive buffets that have low quality food... and are also coughed on. ps - have you never been in a regular restaurant where you hear someone sneeze in the kitchen behind closed doors? The world is a dangerous place - no matter where you go, you pay your money and take your chances.
  22. what kind of movies?
  23. something a bit more upscale?
  24. A bit of a jaunt from CM - eh?
  25. I was at the seafood buffet in Shangri La Hotel... long ago when it was 700 baht... now 1800, I think... Anyone been lately? Other recommendations welcome as well..
