Snakes don't bother me much. However, those little 8 legged critters, those are the ones that give me the heebie jeebies! Killed nearly 75 of them in the house this past 2 weeks, here in the north eastern part of the Unite States!

Isn't that exactly what 10's of millions, if not 100's of millions of people do every day all over the World, when they drink alcoholic beverages? Drink until they are drunk and unable to walk straight and/or talk coherently? Except for a very minute minority of people, those who smoke marijuana don't cause trouble after they get high or zonked, as opposed with those that drink alcoholic beverages! As a non-smoker and a non-drinker, I would rather be with a group of 100 people who smoke marijuana and get zonked than in a group of 10 drinkers!

Not me. I had it back in March of 2020. It wasn't as bad as the flu I had (decades ago). Also did not come near as bad as the last case of pneumonia that I had, which nearly killed me when I was in my early 30's! I did have a lot of difficulty breathing but, because I have COPD, I used my albuterol inhaler several times a day until I was over it.

I would hazard to say it is a reflection of hollywood society, not the people as a whole, in the United States. From Gallup.com, "Gallup finds 7.1% of U.S. adults identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or something other than straight or heterosexual. "

OK, here is where I first read about it. https://medium.com/politically-speaking/the-gallows-and-noose-at-the-u-s-capitol-an-update-on-my-10-24-21-article-9efbbb3ff464

Wasn't that gallows erected on Jan 5? From what I remember, the FBI has it and possibly has had it since Jan 5.

How many police were killed by Jan 6 demonstrators?

OH no! I already have a problem finding my keys. I better stay away from that stuff. ????

That is true. Decades ago, in the early 1970's I returned to the bungalow after work and found a Thai man I barely knew and a Thai woman I didn't know, fornicating in my bed. I was surprised and they were embarrassed as hell! When I talked to the girlfriend, she said she forgot to lock the bungalow when she left. More likely the couple asked if they could use the bed and she said yes, before she left.

I just read your answer to this question on a thread that asked the same question as I did. My shots were completed March of 2021, before traveling to Thailand in April 2021. So, this does bring up the additional question that was also asked in the other thread. How long are the two shots good for? In my case, I was sick for weeks in March of 2020 but I was not diagnosed with covid by a doctor. My doctor who I saw while sick in 2020, only said I did not have strep throat and did not have the flu. Shortly after seeing my doctor, I lost all sense of taste! One year later I was vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine.

Here is a link to a pdf from a government agency. It does not specify which fruits, only says ripe fruits, cheese and heated milk. It does provide some additional information. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjq_-zz2pr4AhU1MX0KHTUZCyIQFnoECBMQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fdhss.delaware.gov%2Fdph%2Ffiles%2Facetaldehydefaq.pdf&usg=AOvVaw3mOVf-00rh1POl7nd_zsjt

I followed the link to the Thai Pass website and found this term, "Fully Vaccinated". What exactly does, "Fully Vaccinated", mean?

No.

Social media in the era when the 1st Amendment was written. https://thejuntocast.com/episodes/ep-19-print-culture-in-early-america/

You did not mention the multiple mass shootings committed by criminals, who are prohibited from possesing firearms by both local and / or federal laws. Those mass shootings are primarily done in cities and /or states that have the most restrictive firearms possession laws in the United States. I think it was Chicago, over the Memorial Day weekend, there were 51 peoples shot, which is apparently not front page, hourly, daily, weekly reporting, except when it suits the purpose of the mass media here in the U.S. of A. I am pretty sure that most of the firearms used in those mass shootings were not legally purchased or legally possessed. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/juliorosas/2022/05/31/over-40-people-shot-during-memorial-day-weekend-in-chicago-n2608003

I guess he wasn't going to be satisfied with just throwing a shoe at Bush!

I started flying in 1961. I was 11 years old. Traveling from Texas to New Jersey, to continue to Germany. Was on a DC-3 that was like a greyhound bus, i.e., it stopped at every little airport to discharge and take on passenger. About halfway to New Jersey, plane took off from some tiny airport. Right after wheels up plane made a sharp, hard, left turn and flew back to the runway ... and crashed! Did a belly landing with gears up. Fortunately no fire and no injuries to any one on the aircraft. Naive little idiot I was at the time, I thought it was the most exciting and fun thing I had happen that year!

As to the comments about women Thai drivers. I know two here in the United States. One is my niece. I have been in a car with her driving both in Thailand and here in the U.S.. She is a very competent and safe driver. My sister in law... been in a car with her driving in Thailand and the U.S.. Scared the <deleted> out of me! I now refuse to ride in a car with her driving. So, it goes both ways.

Really? South Texas beaches? Glad I never had an encounter with one when I was swimming there.

It is good to read that documents laminated today can be removed from the lamination, undamaged. Decades ago, I found that was not possible. Either the laminate adhered to the paper, or in other cases, the print of some photocopied documents lifted with the plastic laminate, or the printed picture lifted with the laminate. Perhaps the plastic laminate of today, is a different kind of plastic that does not require the high heat of the laminators of yesterday.

My wife has a 5 baht gold chain hanging around my neck, here in the U.S.. I don't care for wearing jewelry but it has a special whatchamacallit buddha figurine hanging on the chain and she wants me to wear it. I keep it hidden under my T shirt and my other shirt so no one sees it. Neither of us wears any kind jewelry when in Thailand!

Nah, I think it was the, I don't have any food for you, part. On the other hand, it just occurred to me. That could have been a thug goose and it didn't like me sitting on his bench!

I sat on an open backed bench one day, admiring the view of a lake. A goose walked up and honked at me. I said, go away goose, I don't have any food for you. The goose walked away to my left and I ignored it. I ignored the goose to my chagrin. It had walked around the bench and a minute later the goose bit me in the ar$e so hard I bled!

Yeah, I didn't detect the cynicism. Which purse? Not a clue. I only know she said, I bought ..... and it costs ..... and I say, that's nice. Only here in the U.S. not in Thailand. But, everything here is also in Thailand. I just know that spends her money on them. I buy tools, she buys designer goods. She likes Swarovski too. I admit I like those as well. But my tools don't cost as much as her designer items.

The bag could be worth that much. My wife has a designer bag she bought, that in Thai Baht, cost more than 600,000! Me, I have one of two wallets I paid about 400 baht for, both.
