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!

Switched my vpn to Germany and the linked page opened up with a lot of Thai language and a short paragraph, with no pictures, in English. This was with the opera browser. Pasted into google chrome and had a better response.

I clicked the news link and got this... imperva might not like my vpn I guess.

Off the topic of Thai school stabbings. I went to school in the late 1950's through the late 1960's. A lot of kids had knives they took to schools. I didn't just go to one school, I went to more than most, excepting other military brats, because my dad was in the Army. The worst knife wound I knew of was caused by the girlfriend of a guy who accidently cut the fingers of her boyfriend, after asking to see his knife. When he went to take his knife back, he grabbed the blade and she was startled and jerked her hand back. The other person who shed blood was a friend of mine who would cut himself almost every time he borrowed my knife, because he was not used to having a sharp knife. Other that those and several other minor cuts by knife, almost exclusively self inflicted wounds by the knife owner, no one was seriously hurt. Knives were not a problem and neither were firearms, which showed up at one high school every time hunting season opened. Mostly shotguns and .22's. My last year in high school I shot 50 rounds a day M-F for practice and 50 on Saturday during competition. The biggest fear was being taken off the rifle team for effing up!

Not crushed together at the end of a too narrow / too short shoe!

I used to know someone through facebook, who is an American expat that lived in Germany for 30 years before retiring and moving to Spain. He bragged that the town he lives in has a nude beach with young women on it. I did not think it was such a big deal. I go about clothed when outside because of the skin cancers I get. Waiting for an appointment for radiation therapy now, instead of a MOSE removal that cuts chunks of flesh from my body! No nudism or naturalism for me!

I don't think my wife had any problem with regestering her property under the name Mrs. RadioChaser.

.... double post problem ...
