What you need is to read the extremely well-researched, scholarly Jesus from Outer Space: What the Earliest Christians Really Believed about Christ Gives a great account of how religions started up in the ancient world, in general.

Time to memorialize the common theme uniting the advice in most posts on this topic. Listen to what your momma told you. Note how the backup singers effectively reinforce the message from the lead advocate. Should be automatically included as the first post on all such threads. Forum software, take note. Use the AI. Are we ready for /CLOSED/?

Possible sign of early dementia Feeling dizzy is one of the first signs of dementia for some patients. Even in the early stages of the disease, most dementia patients experience dizziness and balance problems at some point. In addition to dizziness, dementia patients may also experience a range of related symptoms, including: Lightheadedness. --Causes and Treatment for Dementia Dizziness - Neural Effects

Never overrated, never gets old. No need to go out and about to have it. One can of course also go out and about as well.

Consider Phayathai Sriricha and public Somdej https://english.redcross.or.th/aboutus/department/somdej/ The latter has undergone a surprising amount of modern development. It's not the small local hsp of yesteryear.

Is the OP a Brit? If so, I'd think he'd want to go with a deerstalker. Why compromise? Protective front and rear. Earflaps helpful against Pattaya noise. Perfect for hunting on Soi 6. Also, for greater inspiration, may be worn while at the keyboard engaged in detective work here on the forum. Seem none sold on Lazada but of course importing is easy.

In their own minds. Classic Dunning-Kruger Effect. Had one buzzard on here the other day, a computer user only, claiming to know more than IT experts.

But then, assuming it's the monthly cumulative update, or .NET framework, a reboot's needed and so a nag to reboot unless it's automatically gonna reboot. Login again, hope for no drama, start up all your programs again. Fact: Linux handles updates so much better. Update when you wish, no reboot required. No need for anti-virus, so no daily anti-virus updated.

Here you go: The 250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time All we need, so can close the thread now--unless of course this is really about "I know guitarists you don't."

How's your aerobic fitness?

Good luck receiving advice here. Nothing but anti-hair transplant activists here loving their own bald heads and congratulating themselves on the baht saved through use of cheap hair clippers from Lazada.

Jomtien Immigration improved backwards
BigStar replied to Kinok Farang's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Maybe the farang who can't get their paperwork right need clearing out. All the agents, too. -
Makro will deliver, BTW.

The usual hyperbole and squawking over having to pay for something, esp. more for something. After all the deductions, probably low tax rate, and any workarounds, the absolute amount due, in the case of double taxation, may not really be that much and affordable. Some members can save if they stop paying agents and do their own extensions. So far, in the hundred+ pages, we haven't yet heard of anyone being taxed to death or fleeing the country in fear of death. Calm down.

Your condo emergency generator will power the building safety lights if they aren't battery powered. It might also power an elevator or two. Not the condos themselves. Surge protectors will be adequate for preventing damage if you don't need battery backup. Some are better than others. Our experts can advise. UPS monitoring software runs as a service, unaffected by a screensaver or login. If your computer's already asleep, it's not drawing much power and may just sleep through the outage. We rarely have outages in the developed area where I live, and if so they're brief. They always happen just when I'm ready for a hot shower. However, the UPS software will likely still work even during computer sleep mode if, for one thing, you set the USB port to stay on during sleep. Etc.

You wouldn't, nor would anyone you know. It's nothing less than one of the classic Principles of ANF Economics that Thai shopping malls, purveyors of luxury brands, have seemingly always defied. Whenever the construction of a new mall is announced, our Economists lead a chorus of sneers predicting that no one will ever shop there for these reasons: 1. Thais are too poor 2. Rich Thais only shop abroad 3. Tourists have malls at home So the extraordinary incredulity in 2003--after the INSANE rise in visa fees and the imminent Thai economic collapse as all the Golden Egg Layers were heading for the exits--that Siam Paragon should dare begin construction! WOT??? Yeah, whatta flop, always deserted, goods just gathering dust since 2005. The only explanation--brilliant, really, as one would expect here--is that a Thai shopping mall exists only to launder money! Known Truth.
