  1. My wife orders lots of food whenever we go out. The food goes home and is eaten over the next day or two.
  2. What gets wasted? What we don't consume goes either to the our dogs or our compost pile.
  3. Agreed. Ivermectin is an all-round good pest control med. Kills worms throughout the body including heart-worms, kills ticks, and eliminates mange. Gotta be careful with the dosage though which is 0.3 to 0.6mg per kilogram of weight depending on what pest you're trying to control, e.g., it take a very small amount to control heart worms. The one downside to watch for is that some breeds of dogs (some terriers and collies if I remember right) can't metabolize Ivermectin but the adverse reactions are rare. You can find info on dosages and precautions online. I wouldn't use it on my cats though. I stick to Frontline for the kitties.
  4. Lamisil or Canesten cream. But then again, if the Canasone isn't doing the trick, I'd go to a dermatologist at a local hospital and let them have a look.
  5. If a foreigner goes to the US and rents a car or motorcycle without an IDP and valid license (car if driving a car and motorcycle if driving motorcycle), then the fine is going to be more than the equivalent of 1000 THB. Just saying, that when foreigners come here without either driving experience on a motorcycle or a motorcycle endorsement on their home country license? They put themselves and everyone around them in danger. So, imho, the 1000 THB fine fits. Fyi, when I first came here 15 years back, I came with my US drivers license with M/C endorsement and a IDP. I was stopped at road blocks during that time, show my licenses and IDP and was on my way.
  6. Bravecto is a once every three month pill, and it works very well. I'm not sure what you mean by this. Any tick that bites him now will die. If there are ticks in your home, you're going to have to clean. If they are in your yard? Your dog is now a walking tick killing machine. Give it time. They won't disappear over night, but they will disappear as they bite and die off. Also, you'll get another infestation when tick eggs hatch. They'll bite your dog and die off. Keep your dog up to date on the meds and your yard and house will stay tick free. If they are in your home? Hopefully they don't bite you before they die off. I have outdoor dogs so I don't have problems with bugs in the home. If the price of Bravecto puts you off, buy the pill for larger dogs (1000mg Fluralaner) and cut it in half. Their are naysayers out their (like the company that makes it) that will say "You can't do that!" Yeah. You can. And it works.
  7. I may upgrade to this myself. I like the scanner option.
  8. Check out the Brother HL-1110 Laser Printer (mono color). You should be able to find one for under 1500 THB.
  9. All I can say is that I ditched my inkjet years ago, bought a Laser printer, and I've never looked back. I don't do a lot of printing so inkjets would dry and fail to work. There is no such problem with laser toners. The tone cartridge I have now is at least 2 years old. Overall they are cheaper to maintain and significantly more reliable. The one thing that you need to learn to do is to clean the cartridge rollers. It takes q-tips, alcohol, and a little patience. Trust me - buy one and you'll never go back to inkjets.
  10. I did it today and it's due Thursday. No biggy. If it isn't approved by the end of the week I'll just go down to Immigration next week.
  11. How would his country know he's single if he's got married and divorced in Thailand and then never left Thailand and returned to his country?
  12. Is there a cutoff date for filing an Online 90 Day Report. Does it have to be done a specific number of days before the 90 expiration date - if so - how many?
  13. The Makro in my area is starting to loosen up. I've been walking in maskless for a couple of months now. The guards don't say anything.
  14. Does anyone remember hearing the term, "Asymptomatic Transmission" before 2020? No the term seemed to surface so there was an excuse to "test" anyone with a PCR Test that has no standardized cycle count and therefore could be used to target people with absolutely no symptoms and force them into Covid prisons where you would surely end up in contact with active Covid cases. Private hospitals were making 100K THB a pop from "Asymptomatic" foreigners. What a great and effective way to make money. The new Pandemic Industrial Complex is pretty much a Trillion dollar industry now. Testing perfectly healthy people to make sure they aren't sick. <laughs> PT Barnum would have loved that one.
  15. Heck, they can't even enforce the 80 THB price cap. Don't expect miracles.
  16. How about attribution for your assessment, otherwise it's simply a post with the intent of disparaging a specific ethnicity and citizens from a specific country without providing any substantial evidence or facts. So, where is the link to an official statement from Thai immigration stating that it expects, "Over the next few months as tourist visas expire there will be a massive wave of Russian overstayers trying to avoid the war. They will also be attempting to work illegally to fund their stay?" The title of your post is stated as a "fact." Just saying...
  17. By the way, the term "anti-masker" is a pejorative that is meant to demean and discredit another persons views and opinions right out of the gate, and immediately set a confrontational tone. A less confrontation question would have been, "A question for those who don't believe that masks are effective", or "A question for those who choose not to wear masks." If you want to wear a mask - up to you.
  18. Because wearing a mask (especially a cloth mask) to keep out a virus that is 0.125 microns in size is akin to surrounding your house with a chain-link fence to keep out mosquitos. Now personally I think people with symptomatic upper respiratory infections should wear masks to contain the snottering fluid particles from frequent coughing and sneezing, i.e., to protect others. Contain it at its source. To give another analogy, if Bangkok strictly applied laws to restrict the emissions from hydrocarbon burning vehicle - and I mean STRICT - then the population wouldn't have to wear N95+ masks to protect themselves from the annual onslaught of PM2.5 particles when inversion layers trap emissions in the atmosphere over the city. Again - contain it at it's source. Filter at the source, the same for masks. As far as people "wanting" to wear masks? That's up to each individual. In the last 15 years here I've seen people wearing masks for whatever reason they have. When the PM2.5 gets really bad up here in the North, like 350+, I'll even don my 3M P-100 when outside. However, my problem is when a government orders you to wear a mask. That's the classical liberal in me that detests totalitarian-like diktat on entire populations regardless of the reason. However, some people prefer to be ruled. There the 'logic.'
  19. So Yong now says we can ditch the virtue signaling sign of social compliance. Well, until the next scheduled "pandemic."
