A better way of saying that is that twice as many people will think he will leave as stay

When I made my will I wanted it to stipulate that my remains would be scattered around the places that had special meaning to me while alive. My lawyer refused and just pointed to the part where it said I didn't want to be cremated.

Not incorrect. The alcohol in wine and beer, and any other alcoholic beverage has no calories. Sure, the other ingredients might, but not the alcohol. You just assumed that "alcohol" refers to any beverage with alcohol in it. It doesn't.

Did you see the quotation marks? Probably pointless explaining the meaning of that to you. And the man has admitted to kicking her although he gave a ridiculous explanation that it was by accident because he thought he was kicking a Chinese lady.

As far as the Doctor kicker goes, It wasn't social media that did him in. It was all his own doing, along with his wife. If he would have immediately apologized, asked for forgiveness, and maybe offered to pay all her "medical expenses" it probably would have never made the news.

Can you give an example of a recent case that only relied on eyewitness reports? Elephant man kicking Doctor Swiss man going Muay Thai on Thai Lady in supermarket Kiwi moron brothers assaulting cop Expats operating illegal daycare centers Multiple drink driving arrests that in the past never made the news. Russian lady kicking pregnant Thai shopkeeper (Maybe that one) All of these, and quite a few more, have more than eyewitness accounts as evidence. I will agree that eyewitness accounts are very unreliable and can also be purchased for a price.

Which Swiss expat?

It's just an acronym for their full name: Beer Eggs Somtam & Tea bags

I think he has a website that insists he was innocent: www frontslash frontslash backslash frontslash backslash backslash frontslash dot com

It is much more likely that the Kiwi that attacked the cop caused the gun to fire while taking it away from him.

There is no sugar in alcohol. The juice or soda in a mixed drink may have plenty of sugar in it, but alcohol is sugar-free. Not good for you, but has nothing to do with sugar.

He was paying a lot more than 1 Baht rent, or did you mean 1 Billion Baht. Either way, you are way off. And that was the most intelligent part of your post

Nope, not even the most probable answer.

The last video I saw of Thunberg was of a journalist trying to have a serious conversation with her about the issues she was was protesting. She readily admitted she didn't actually know anything about any of the the issues. She even laughed about the fact that she was totally uneducated. She's just a high school dropout that has name recognition and now just goes where she is told to go and says what she is told to say by her handlers. A lot of what the eco idiots want is actually good, but when they stage protests and riots and block public roads I think all of that actually works against them.

Any juror that assumes that a protesters sign accurately states the law should be disqualified for gross stupidity. The judge is the one that will instruct the jury on what the law is.

I also get upset when people say "Excuse me". But what really makes me angry is when they say "Please" or "Thank you".

Blessed be the sight of a naked woman but the sight of a naked man is not in God's plan. That is why he gave them hairy asses. Benjamin Franklin (probably)

I think the fact that he stopped when he realized that the procedure was too complicated for his skill set and experience was a good thing. Better than continuing and destroying the tooth. But I would be upset also if I wasn't given an explanation and recommendation where to go. Don't blame you for going elsewhere. I have only used him for implants and am happy with them. I don't use him for other dental work. He has done many implants, probably in the hundreds at least. Implants are very routine now and in my opinion are simpler than a root canal. I'll continue using my dentist at BPH for everything else though.

When working in Laos my employer was an Australian company so my income/tax statement was in English. I reported it as income on the Line for wages as income and again as negative income on the "Other Income" line putting the 2555 as the source. I was paid in USD so no conversions to do either. I never submitted my income statements with my return since they weren't US W-2's. There were never any issues with the IRS but Sheryl's info about using the form 4852 seems to be the correct way to do it. I had never heard about the 4852 Form until seeing Sheryl's post. AFAIK there is no reason to submit your Thai documents with your return, just use the 4852 and 1116 and make sure to keep all Thai docs with your tax records for the next few years. As far as the physical presence test to use the 2555 it looks like you could use the 12 month period of Mid-May 2023 - Mid-May 2024. That would be only the 15 day period you were in the US in August. There are no penalties for filing late if you don't owe any tax. Tax professionals are not all expensive. I have used one in Florida the last two years. The return for 2023 was done for $100

To file a 2555 the number of days you can be in the US is 35, not 31. But assuming you were over 35 days in the US you would probably need to file Form 1116 to claim the foreign tax credit along with the 1040. When I worked in Laos all I received at the end of the year was an annual pay statement from the company I worked for. It stated how much I was paid for the year and how much of my pay was deducted for Lao tax. My accountant used that to file my 1040, 1116, and 2555 forms. I had other US earned income so I had to file a 1040 every year regardless.

Maximum valid lease is 30 years. Putting an auto renew clause in the contract is just marketing BS, it can not be enforced. You would lose your property at the 30 year mark.

14k posts and knows nothing about re-entry permits. Wow!🤣

Never mind. I answered my own question. My Doctor has me taking well above what is generally recommended. I did have Vitamin D deficiency on my test results and I also have Type II Diabetes when he made the recommendation. The next time he checked Vit D levels I was at a proper level. Sorry Sheryl. I wasn't questioning your knowledge but thought it might have been a typo.
