I am keeping my Note 7 order, they have just offered more freebies for pre orderers. I will take a one in 71,000 chance.

these odds are also in the first 1-2 weeks they have been out ,  

if you put that over the life of the phone 3-4 years then  maybe the odds are not so good !

and its not like you can take the battery out yourself , the phone is glued together like an iPhone

Sorry to see this happen , The Facebook WiFi would have been a good start  ,  I am sure they have more  satellites to try the next time , 

as far as Space X , well NASA decided to get out of that game. so we better hope Space X and other USA makers can get it together , 

Right now we are really hoping that Russia still wants to play with us , 

Space X has really put a lot of $$$$$ in our local economy ,  I wish they had a more direct tie in with Tesla so I could go over to their place and maybe see some of  the test  "Teslas" driving around the area.

there was something on youtube of making a washing machine using an old truck wiper motor to get the back and forth movement of the tub , 

just an idea

you can go to your local Walmart and buy bottles of 100-200 and I think 500 pills !

Why you need that many who knows but the dollars store has bottles of 100 for $1

Shortage ????

I would probably only hire a Maid to show up when I am there , 

I can wash my own clothes , cook my own food ,  but overall I am lazy so a maid can do things I do not want to , 

But if I was going to have them work when I was not there , I would be sure they knew where "some" of the security cameras are,

but not all of them !

I  probably do not eat enough to say 1000-1500 baht is good value even in the west , 

some small place like a 300-500 baht lunch with lots of interesting flavors might be fun, 

I do not have to pig out on lobster, shrimp or prime rib  so the expensive ones are not for me

I agree. Henry is excellent and knowledgeable. He makes them for athletes as well as people with flat feet etc... Prices are very high, but quality is too.  The best in Bangkok AFAIK.

what is "very high" as far as price....or at least a range ?

My buddy brought me the other new one that the VA gave him , 

it is a Life Source UA 767 Plus

and there is a good simple youtube video on how to put the cuff at the right place and use it,

I need to go get some batteries and do a test and compare.....

yeah I never knew the name of the place ,  but its interesting to see the workers on the last street take apart ANYTHING and fi it , or at least try.....

plus winding armatures etc ,

if you are into that kind of stuff those 4 blocks will keep you interested

Are there other places like that around BKK ?

What is the name of the electronics district in BKK over by Little India ?

there are many stores in those 3 - 4 streets that have them ,  I think better than Klong Thom area

there are also a  few shops  next to the covered parking that will make you a custom LED sign if  thats what you need,

I was thinking of putting a deadbolt lock pointing down on the front door ,  much harder to kick in and you would probably have to destroy the door

I talked to my friend and his wife has had custom orthopedic insoles for years , 

but he says these are hard plastic ????

is this normal ?   do you put something soft and "squishy" on top of them ? 

I thought they were a harder foam rubber that still had a lot of bounce in them !

thanks for the info

I have no idea how this works , but can I ask Pokemon Go to put them anywhere ?

it might be fun to send everyone down a dark alley  and play Zombie Killer to scare them , 

or send them to someones house you are mad at  

I hope this lasts until Halloween !

The large sticky traps from B ig C are better , they are big enough that a rat cannot run away with it stuck to itself , 

or nail it to a board , 

I have still not had any luck with the live traps ,  but sometimes had luck with the snap traps,

There are some real strong all metal snap traps I have bought in BKK Chinatown , they are nice and heavy and would probably break your finger , so watch out !

Right now the house is mouse and rat free as I think there is better food outside than inside  

What is the best way to address a package ?

if you have someone to do it do you also put the address on in Thai ?

what about a Thai Phone number ?

can all the Thai Postmen read english addresses ?

thanks , 

does it have an official name ?    and do you know what it is so I can try and Google it ?

I would love to find where the donated used clothes end up , I  have bought a bunch of old work shirts in Klong Thom from  Japanese and Korean companies with cool embroidered company names on them , but like always you never know what you can find

where is the outdoor market from   Central Rattanatibet  ?

What would be the best way to get there from Asok / Sukhumvit ? 

take the BTS-MRT to MoChit and then a Taxi to end of Purple line 

or MRT to Bang Sue and then head to Purple line with everyone else ?

I am not worried about the cost , but if traffic is so bad maybe the Purple line may be smarter

another problem using a Thai debit card is many are not set-up to send or accept International deposits, 

So make sure you do that before signing up.

and as I remember Paypal takes  a few cents out of your debit card account to make sure its real, that is  why it needs to be international

did it just start up or did it just get "discovered"

and if it just started what was there before ?

when the train market moved there was so extra much traffic and it was only a few nights a week !

electric cars would go nowhere in Norway if they had to pay the same taxes as "regular" cars , same as the government rebate in the USA and Germany helps sell unwanted E-cars

Norway is lucky to have a good supply of hydroelectric power , most countries make electric power with oil and gas, 

and the quoted mileage is best condition , not real life for most people , 

I like the idea ,  at 300miles / 500km range ( less 30% reality discount)  it would make sense around here , 

but that would also be with airco or heater when needed , and headlights on for night driving.

Hydrogen would be nice also , I drove past the only Hydrogen filling station  in the area yesterday , of course no one was using it , but its a nice for Shell to waste some money on , and its across the street from Toyota Headquarters......

Electric will not replace oil and gas ,  it will be another option for those people  where the range and recharging works for them

Today I got an OMRON HEM-637 , blood pressure monitor that attaches to your wrist 

Hey it was only $1 at a yard sale , 

I am going to wait until I get the other new one and then do a side by side test, 

Will the WRIST monitor give as  accurate of a reading compared to the ARM monitor ?

not really anywhere near Klong Thom ,  but anyplace with a lot of junk is worth checking out

What day and time is the best for sellers bringing new treasures ?   More interested in the once or twice a week sellers ( fresh junk ) then the daily sellers and picked over junk !

Bought an OMRON  HEM 775 today at my local flea market  for $8 , never used / original box

then my friend walks up and asks do I want another new one that the VA bought for him and he never used , 

So next week I will have 2 of them and can compare

this one does a single test  or it will do 3 tests and average them ,  which one is better ?

stairs are fine as long as your knees and ankles can take it ,  I still think "walking home" is a good start  , and then a gym

What did your Doctor say would be best ?
