Well, if someone keeps telling you the same thing every time, then I can understand that. If only putting someone on ignore, would keep them from repeating the same thing over and over again!

I lied to those that violated laws, which I was charged to investigate. Some of those people ended up in prison, because they put other peoples lives in danger, whose job it was to save lives. Most of my work involved safety of life and property issues. There were many times when I would tell someone, or some business, you need to fix this. Next time I will have to write you up for a violation of fine. The next time I visited, they were good. Pissed the boss off because he looked good when there were multiple violations and fines issued from his office. As to the "so called intelligence departments", most of those work in the various intelligence agencies, never have anything to do with the public. Their jobs are either to collect the intelligence, or to keep the cogs and wheels turning so that others can do so. It's the 1% or less (I have no clue of actual numbers) who the public see that are the ones that lie to the public. Like a large number of "ex" intelligence personnel that were in leader ship positions, that lied to the public a few years ago! And politicians, like, whose name I do not recall! And there are those employees that don't lie, to the public, because there is no reason for them to do so, even when they have contact with them. Painting everyone with a broad brush, does not present a good argument.

Might big nok mean that he has 80% of the posters on ignore and so does not see their comments? If true, then he has pretty big blinders on. be wearing blinders idiom US (UK be wearing blinkers) Add to word list to be able only to see things one way and unwilling or unable to consider other possibilities

My niece. I had taken a niece and nephew out to eat. When I left the table to visit the men's restroom, I said, order anything you want. On returning from the men's room about 5 minutes later, there was a variety of food that covered the table. Nephew had ordered one dish, niece ordered everything else. 1225 baht worth of food. I still have not figured out how she was able to eat all that food!!! Food for nephew and I cost less than 100 baht.

I didn't do it! Nobody saw me! I wasn't there! What video?

I knew a couple of people that worked in Ethiopia for a year or so. It was a secret electronic intelligence collection base. I am not sure who the primary target was. That was highly classified. Sadly, I forget the stories they told me about their time outside the compound. Too much of the evil weed I guess.

Not many people, other than government and military carry a select fire assault rifle around. Especially in public!

I can save more money using the mileage points to fly. At 3% I would only get between $1800.00 to $2200.00 back from the credit card company. Using my mileage points to fly, I get a ticket for a round trip business class ticket to Thailand, minus the less than $200.00 in fees. The last time my wife bought a round trip ticket to Thailand, she paid almost $10,000.00!!

Ah, not me. The last I was really drunk was in 1979 and that was from 6 cans of Budweiser. Made me sick for a week!

I don't like youtube shorts.

Or, over 110,000 posts .. with an average of somewhere in the 100 posts a week range!

Yeah. I had second thoughts about the post after clicking submit.

She might be more than a lab tech. She might be a bioengineer.

The picture has a person who appears to be a lab tech. The wearing of a mask may be to prevent contamination of that which she is working with. Just my opinion.

I was a Mensa member for a few months.

I was a Mensa member one time. It was boring.

I was wondering about skin cancer treatment if I had extended stays in Thailand and what the quality of care might be as well as what kind of treatment would be available. Contrary to what someone else has posted, I have no problem getting appointments for skin cancer treatment here in the U.S. of A. with my dermatologist. That might be due to the office I go to or the area of the U.S. that I live in. I had my 6 month exam for skin cancers the third week of June this year and left the next week, returning to the U.S. the second week of August. I had multiple phone messages from my dermatologist and a letter asking me to contact the office and arrange for treatment of a skin cancer. They sent a letter because I was not responding to their multiple phone calls. A week after contacting the office I was scheduled for treatment beginning last week. I had a choice of a Mohs surgery, or radiation treatment. I chose the radiation treatment rather than outpatient surgery on my neck. I have had several Mohs surgeries that last almost an hour, one or two went more than 1 hour. Each one I ended up having a pad of gauze taped to my skin, that I had to keep on for a couple of days. I think I was told not to get the wound wet when bathing.

Not mine. I accrue points for flying from purchases. I have a credit card account almost 30 years old. It has one of the best point plan for dollars spent of just about any credit card in the U.S. of A.. I have not paid full price for a ticket to fly for several years by using my accumulated points for my tickets. Last three years I have only flown business using my points. I do pay fees which are less than $200.00 for the business class tickets. I pay that with the same credit card, which earns even more points.

I was asked the same thing at Bumrungrad hospital in July. I chose dollars. I don't remember if the other hospital I went to before, a few years ago, asked that question. I was charged a co-pay of 15% by the hospital. The rest was paid for by my U.S. health insurance. The bill was for a CT scan with IV injection and blood work. I paid the co-pay with my credit card. The credit card company charged me less than $2.00 for an international international credit card charge. I had about the same charge from the credit card (under $2.00) after I bought a coffee at a starbucks that was providing service to a movie theater. After I was given the coffee and I offered up Thai baht to pay for the coffee, I was told, credit cards only!!

I used to work for the U.S. of A. government as a federal agent. Part of my job was to lie too! ????

I used to smoke Thai stick in Udon back in 1972 & 1973. I don't think any of it was dipped in opium. I did smoke some Thai weed that was mixed with opium one time. I did not get a good look at it as the room was only lit by candles. It was brick (not the 20 stick Thai brick) about 1 inch thick. It was sticky as you would expect opium to be. A small chunk was pinched or cut off from the brick and put into a bong pipe. The high was not the same as was from smoking Thai stick weed. That was the only Thai weed opium mix that I knew about. The only other weed I smoked in South East Asia that I suspect had an additive was in Vietnam. I purchased pre rolled joints in Cha Rang Valley (between Phu Cat & Qui Nhon) that appeared to have heroin mixed in with it. The person that sold the joints called them Bong Song Bombers and was Vietnamese. The high was definitely different than what I had been smoking in Viet Nam before the Bong Song Bombers. .

Too bad!

Been married to my Thai wife for 33 years now.

But, some of us are intelligent and even though I only have a high school degree, I ended up doing the same work as others who have bachelor and masters degrees as an electrical engineer. I did that for 10 years before retiring. Been married to a Thai woman who has a degree in business management (or something like that) who owns a business that makes an awful lot of money, in the U.S. of A. Yes, the condominium in Thailand is in her name, but it was her money that bought it, the only thing she wanted from me, regarding the condominium was, if I like it, she will buy it, if I don't like it, she would not have bought it! She freaks out over snakes, bugs, and stuff and I call her a city girl, having part of my childhood living deep in the sticks of Louisiana, but lived in three different countries before I was 15.

I know what fertilizer is and know that urea is a component of fertilizer, but this is the first time I can recall reading (or hearing of) the term, "urea bag". Off topic a bit ... I used to live near a fertilizer plant. Tank trucks would pick up loads of different kinds of fertilizer, park across the street from the plant next to a rail yard, and piles of it would leak out of the truck onto the ground while the driver was checking out of the plant after weighing at the scales. I asked the guy at the scales about it and was told, if use the multi colored fertilizer for roses, use the (forgot what) for vegetables, and use the white granules on your grass to make it turn a rich green color. I collected the white granules in a 5 gallon bucket and spread it on the yard. In less than a week, I could cut the grass in the afternoon before going to swing shift, and it would have grown an inch or more about 10 hours later. I had to cut it every day! But I had the best looking grass of any house on the block. Neighbors were asking me how I made my grass look so good. I only put it on the yard one time. I didn't like having to mow the yard every day!
