After my mother in law was cremated, each family member chose to take either, some of the ashes, or, as my wife did, remnants of bone that had survived the cremation and that was put into a small urn to keep for themselves. The rest of the ashes were buried at sea. No need to travel anywhere to see the vase with ashes as each family member had their own share of them kept at their own homes. I assumed that was something the Thai's did.

Chocolate is not addictive. Stop spreading fake information. I have stopped eating chocolate frequently, usually between chocolate bars, chocolate drinks, chocolate cakes, chocolate muffins, etc. You will have to excuse me right now while I go downstairs and make sure that the wife isn't drinking my chocolate milk (I stopped drinking that after the last glass).

Off the topic of underage prostitution but about obesity in Thailand ... I was amazed, during my recent trip to Thailand, with the severely obese, seemingly mostly women, that I saw in Thailand. Several times I was looking at the calves of women and thinking, her calf is bigger than my thigh! Sort of like many of the women here in Pennsylvania, U.S. of A.

And make sure the departure date stamped into your passport on entry, is correct. One trip years ago, my departure ticket was dated 28 days after I arrived. However, the departure date stamped into my passport was 3 days before I was leaving. Even when I showed immigration my airline ticket, with my arrival date in Thailand 28 days before, I was still charged 3 days overstay!

Not like me. I don't chew grass.

That is F ing funny!

Not about vaporizers or drugs (that I know of). A good friend of my wife is married to an American and lives in Montana. 2 or 3 years ago they transisted through Japan. I don't know how the Japanese found out that the husband had been convicted of a felony crime in the U.S. of A., but they did. They fined him $400.00 and put him in dentention of some kind for being an ex felon entering Japan. They kept him in detention until his scheduled flight to Thailand.

That's that French guy that lives in the other condo building. I am still standing tall.

You didn't, which is why I asked. I don't know how traffic for the forum creates income.

Dollars (or whatever the currency is) due to those ... ads?

Hmmmm? Put a cell phone on video record, put into fridge, close door. open door, look at video?

I don't need to lift my wrist up to eye level. I look down to my wrist. I look down at my wrist and can see the 1/4 inch size numbers displayed or see the hands pointing to numbers. It is still quicker than getting a cell phone out of a shirt pocket, orient the cell phone so that it is up right with the face towards my eyes, then pushing a hard button to light up the screen (no password), and then sometimes having to touch the soft button at the bottom of the screen to bring the screen back to home screen, so that I can see the larger time display, as the time displayed in the upper left corner is usually too small to see without, actually, having to move it around until it comes into focus with my glasses (I'm farsighted with variable focus lenses in my glasses). Having a watch is quicker. Having only used cell phones since 2001, that had clock displays, I have found a wrist watch is always a quicker and more convenient way to find the time. Unless I have a clock that is displaying the time within eyeshot. Which I do, in the home, in my truck, in my workshop, and when I was gainfully employed and had need to log times for work (sometimes a real pain in the tout) we had clocks on landline phones, hanging on the wall, installed in the equipment panels, in the mobile DF cars, at communication intercept sites, etc.. Now retired and having clocks everywhere at home, is why I take my watch off frequently when I am at home.

I will try that, as soon as I get my license back.

That information helped me decide on an air conditioning system for my house in the U.S. of A.. I am not sure how much that is helping to save on electricity, due to the basic cost of electricty having gone up over the winter after it was installed.

I remember transisters when they were the size, more or less, of a peanut. A couple of months ago I was reading up on the upgraded versian of the hearing aid that was given me by the Vetrans Administration. It's about the size of a large cashew. Inside are over 22 million transisters! There must be a versian of AI in it. It is supposed to be able to determine what noise is background noise and what noise is the human speach (or what ever you are listening to I guess) you want to hear and turn down the background noise while isolating the human speach you want to hear.

It's about covering your mouth when you yawn, to prevent demons that caused you to yawn from entering. A person is blessed when sneezing because they have ejected said demon that entered when the person did not cover their mouth when yawning.

He works on the internet.

But does the boomer poster know how to quote multiple posts? If not, why not educate them? There is always a learning curve.

I have been wearing a watch for more than 60 years. My cell phone is too big to wear on my wrist and a pain to dig out of my zippered pants pocket just to see what time it is.

In 1981 or 1982, I bought a used refrigerator in the United States. I think it was a Westinghouse brand. It was $5.00, a real steal I thought! The seller was only interested in getting it out of the house. In 1984 I sold it for $50.00! I was very pleased with the profit. As I was cleaning the refrigerator before the new owner came to pick it up, I was astonished to find a manufacturing date of 1947. Darn refrigerator was 2 years older than I was! The compressor worked fine.

Windows 95 SE! Off topic of Nigerians but about government agencies and Win 95SE. When I was working as a Federal Agent (must get that in) we had electronic equipment that could be mounted on top of a vehicle in a Thule luggage carrier and controlled from inside with a laptop computer. The control software was developed by an outside IT company. Not sure why since our own engineers were plenty capable of doing the development themselves. After Windows 10 was developed and in use agency wide, the engineers then installed the software on a Win 10 laptop. It would not work. They contacted the IT company and were told, it will only work on 94 SE! As the laptops failed, the Thule carrier with the electronic equipment worth tens of thousands of dollars sat on pallets in storage at offices throughout the United States. One day the engineers started going to each office, to do an install of a modified version of Win 10 into all laptops in use at each field office. I asked them, why don't they use a virtual machine installation of Win 95 SE with the dedicated control software for that specialized electronic equipment. A curt reply, because it won't work! Six weeks later a field wide email notice went out from the engineering office. . Don't dispose of the Thule carrier box and equipment (a week after being told, sell the equipment to highest auction bidder)! We are working to install the Win 95 SE program and the control software into a laptop running a virtual machine. We found that it will run in a virtual computer platform!

Hey! I got some nice underwear made from bamboo cloth! ???? Best part was the ride up and down from some fake French village like place in the mountains, riding in cable cars. Ride was about 20 minutes up and 20 down.

We didn't have seat belts to buckle up with in our vehicles and rode in the back of pick up trucks when I was a child. The following is somewhat off topic. Also had no seat belts in vehicles in Texas when I was in my late teens and mid 20's, back when there were 90 & 95 mph posted speed limits. There was also one highway that had a 100 mph posted speed limit. When I think about those times, I don't remember seeing any wrecks. I did have a cousin and his son killed by a drunk, running from the cops, that was driving over 100 mph in Louisiana in a nearly head on collision. The cousin's wife and daughter survived the wreck with minor injuries. The drunk survived with bruises (the lucky murdering bastard)! No seat belts in those cars either.

I am on Ko Samet Island now. On ferry boats out here, there was no one standing (unless they wanted to I guess). No more passengers than there were seats. On the boat I was on, the only person who did not have a life jacket, was a baby. My two grandkids had their own that I had purchased. What surprised me was the adult life jackets appeared to be new, but that was only on the boat I was on. Leaving in a couple of hours. I will see what it looks like on the way back.

But, trains don't have steering wheels.
