  1. I had an emergency visit to a hospital in Thailand back in July this year. They billed my U.S. medical insurance almost $900.00. I only paid $140.00 ..
  2. I could afford to spend that much a month, but I won't. Nothing wrong with it if you can. You get a much better place to live than the 8,000 to 11,000 baht a month crowd.
  3. My wife wishes I would sell everything I have in the garage, so she could park her car in there. I keep telling her, it isn't a garage, it is my hobbyist machine shop!
  4. Well, it was only highly sensitive information. Although this information was not classified, it was deemed highly sensitive because it could pose significant operational security concerns if disclosed to a foreign government or if made public. As I remember it, when I had access to sensitive and classified documents, I would have gone to jail if I had done something like that!
  5. I heard menendez sold restricted and low level classified documents to Egypt! Allegedly if true, then would that not be acting like a spy?
  6. https://tm30.immigration.go.th/TM30/Foreigner/ https://tm30.immigration.go.th/TM30/Foreigner/RegisterEn/Register.html https://tm30.immigration.go.th/TM30/Foreigner/RegisterEn/ https://tm30.immigration.go.th/TM30/Foreigner/TM30EN/ Probably subject to change as they figure out why some of their links have a 404 error, or a blank web page etc. e.g. https://tm30.immigration.go.th/TM30/
  7. Thailand's radio frequency allocation chart. http://spectrum.nbtc.go.th/thailand_nfat/visualization/ Penuel Technologies webpage shows what the Kenwood TK-2107 operational characteristics are. Seems the radio's can operate in different authorized spectrums, not just one. Programable for 16 operational channels. http://penueltech.com/kenwood-tk-2107-3107-vhf-uhf-walkie-talkie-compact-fm-portable-radios/
  8. Wife bought a condo late last year. We were there for a few weeks this year. The sink in the master bedroom developed a leak. I went to the office to see if the condo maintenance would fix it. An appointment time was set up for maintenance personnel to go to the our condo. We were told, be sure to lock up or take valuables out of the condo, if you will not be there when the maintenance personnel enters the condo! This was from the condominium management office cautioning us about their own employees!
  9. Access denied Error 14 tna.mcot.net 2023-09-10 16:05:59 UTC What happened? This request was blocked by our security service
  10. This might not be her issue. I had problems breathing through my nose for years. Not a problem anymore. An EENT doctor said I had a sinus infection, prescribe an antibiotic and a few days later, I could breath easy through my nose.
  11. Off topic of Thailand, in the U.S. of A. I saw the aftermath of car fires yesterday. A car between two others caught fire. All three totaled. One fire truck, on the way to the fire, was hit by another car, and the driver fled the scene in his car!
  12. I remember predictions, from the past, of the world running out of fossil fuels in 10 or 20 years from the time the predictions were made. I think that 10 years have passed from the time fossil fuels were predicted to be depleted.
  13. If it is the GOP keeping people stupid, then why is it that it the democrats who run the education system almost everywhere in the U.S. of A., are turning out graduates with a substandard education? Family here in the U.S. of A. has friends who put their daughter through private school up until they could not afford it (I think one or both parents were off work due to democrat forced covid layoffs). Their daughter started 8th grade last school year (2022) at the nearby high school. Out of about 25,000 high schools in the U.S. of A., this is supposed to be a high school that is in the top 300. The daughter was complaining to her mom that everything taught in her 8th grade classes, she had already learned in her 5th and 6th grade classes at the private school! When mom asked why she didn't have any homework, daughter said she completed her homework assignments in class. Daughter was getting the highest scores for school work in her classes.
  14. My wife is Thai, but reads, writes, and speaks English. She told me about a time that she met her niece in the Chatuchak market. I forget what the wife told me was on the niece's shirt, but it was a obscene saying relating to sex. Wife asked, do you know what that saying means? Niece says no. Wife translates saying into Thai. Niece is mortified and promptly removes the shirt and clad only in a brassier and long pants, goes to the nearest clothing seller, and buys a new shirt, then throws the one with the obscene saying away. Apparently niece was less embarrassed walking around with just brassier on top than she was about the obscene English saying written on her shirt, once she understood what it mean!
  15. Really? I dress like a preppy? I don't even know what a preppy is! I do like those LL Bean no iron shirts though, even if the shirt pocket is to small.
  16. Or grandparents. (off topic post in progress) My grandmother made me go to the switch tree (what I and the siblings called it) to choose a switch for her to use on us when we were stupid. It was a daunting task! We had to judge the level of anger grandma had then choose the appropriate size switch. Too small a switch and grandma would be even more angry. She would then get a bigger switch than she would have accepted before. Who was my grandma? She was 7 years old when the U.S. of A. celebrated the year 1900. She grew up in the backwoods of Louisiana. She birthed 11 children and 6 of them died before they were 4 years old! Only one child is still living and is almost 100 years old. Grandma also hated the klan. Came near killing one who backtalked her in her kitchen and then he threatened to beat her. A 12 gauge shotgun convinced him that her commandment of "get the hell off my property" was a commandment that was wise to follow!
  17. Damn dirty Americans! Wait ... I'm American! Never mind!
  18. I don't remember where or who, but someplace I was at, the government or police instituted a regulation or law that banned tow trucks from appearing on scene to tow a vehicle, unless they were called either by the towee or the police. As there were violent altercations between the responding tow truck employees. Or, it could have been the U.S. Coast Guard that requires towing vessels to only appear on scene to tow a boat, if called. ( As there were violent altercations between the responding tow boat employees. )
  19. Ah so. Right you are. Here, let me present you with token of responsibility. It is what I used to show, when I was on facebook. Now excuse me while I go slap my opera dictionary for not catching that.
