The Kirch bridge is only being used for passenger vehicles, not supply trucks or military. Its structure is weakened from previous attacks so its high risk to send heavy stuff. The land bridge to Crimea has been subject to very successful drone attacks with basically no defense for supply trucks, military stuff, etc. While soldiers can be ordered to go more and more very similar to the Staits of Hormuz, commercial trucks are opting out as its way too high a risk of being blown up. There are massive fuel shortages now in Crimea, long gas lines, rations if you can get it, most stations closed, a black market of course with a 10x markup. Of course that hits buses and taxes as well. People are being forced to walk. How a stuck tourist is going to be able to get enough gas to drive out. who knows? The big passenger ferries are gone. Smaller ferries are now being loaded with fuel trucks, an obvious target for Ukraine. Tourists who aren't already stuck there would be insane to go there now. In summary, Crimea is quickly becoming unsustainable for Russia. Sure Russia can continue their terrorism attacks on civilian targets in Kiev, but that doesn't address the now very apparent and serious Crimea problem. We know of course that Crimea is a huge ego trip for Putin. If he loses Crimea, it's over for him politically and probably worse. From Ukraine's POV, they'll never have decent security even with a "peace deal" without taking back Crimea. The obvious question is what will Putin do to avoid losing it? Nukes?Fri, 05 Jun 2026 10:31:54 +0000Sorry I don't see that. Please show me Did you not read the OP?...

"It's The Economy, Stupid." -Clinton campaign manger, James Carville Trump's when asked if he is concerned with the economic plight of the average American? “Not even a little bit. The only thing that matters when I’m talking about Iran, they can’t have a nuclear weapon. I don’t think about American financial situation. I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing. You cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.” Irony being? Trump's unprovoked war on Iran, and the killing of the current Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei's entire family including his father, mother, daughter, granddaughter, son, and daughter in law in the unprovoked surprise strike which started the war, will end up being the proximate cause as to why Iran reversed their "fatwa" on not making a nuclear weapon. Basically they will probably go the route of North Korea where they create nuclear weapons as a deterrent to stop the unprovoked aggression against Iran by the US and Israel. So Trump is only worried about Iran having a nuke when by accounts of the US intelligence agencies that Iran had no nuclear arms program, and he doesn't care about the economic plight of US citizens - why should he, he's a billionaire.

If not, from G AI .... Or you could send it off yourself, though BC seems an easier route.

It’s just easier to go after foreigners than Thais.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 10:28:06 +0000I've only voted once in my life, not for anybody. I voted against Trump. Having somebody you believe in, to vote for, is the bedrock of the democratic process. Part of the blame is on gerrymandered electoral districts. But the other is the two-party system. No party has to step up to the plate with a real choice. I'll never bother to vote again. "If voting could change anything, it would be illegal."

Last year, I increased the daily limit to 2MM so I could make a few large transfers with my phone. I never had any problems with the bank.

But, what about now, in 2026, do you know the best way to catch flies and mosquitoes? I have recently come across an excellent video which explains what I have known for many years. And, I just wish to share this info with you, so that you, TOO, can be free of flies and mosquitoes, as am I, and as I have been, during the past few years. I grew up with the Amish, and of course, you already know that I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood, TOO….. But what you might not know about is the existence of a certain type of bacteria which will proliferate in stagnant water and kill the mosquitoes that cause so much harm to the TV community, in Thailand, and abroad. I just hope that this Topic is CLEAR-ENOUGH for you all. Because, this Amish guy from Lancaster, PA, speaks in the clearest terms imaginable, one might imagine. Is this clear? Please do not tell me, in retrospect, that I never provided you with any very useful information, from time to time, because I do, and and often. Best regards, Gamma Note: I consider myself extremely fortunate to live in an area where I need not worry about either Foreign Flies, or Farang Flies, or both. Note2: Originally, I had intended to post this Topic on a Sunday. But then, I figured….why wait? Yes…. Why wait? I am sure that you will agree......Fri, 05 Jun 2026 10:26:42 +0000www.history.com/articles/8-reasons-why-rome-fell.

The entire body is responsible for getting cancer because the disease originates from microscopic DNA damage within individual cells. All Americans share some systemic blame, regardless of how they individually voted in electing Trump or not, you want to try again !!Fri, 05 Jun 2026 10:23:32 +0000Yes, that can be a bother. It reminds me of an incident on an old phone (not smart, back in 2003) when one of my 3-letter words was changed to "hag", and I was communicating with a lady. I can't remember the original word, but it was extremely embarrassing... however, I persist, but I have to be careful to proofread before sending. It's a lot better than trying to type with fingers that cover at least 3 letters at a time. I've discovered that Thai dictation is a lot more accurate, and they don't have the same problems as English speakers. My Thai gf always dictates. I think the problem is that English has too many words that sound identical. Some English accents probably work better than others. If I speak a Thai word into the translator (to hear the English translation), it rarely understands what I'm saying, as Thai words need to be spoken very precisely. Here's a good one to try. Try to dictate the Thai word for salt (table salt). I can't get it, no matter how I try. I gave up trying to ask waitresses for it in Thai as they would never understand me.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 10:22:39 +0000Only if I get to use a flaming telegraph pole.Fri, 05 Jun 2026 10:21:56 +0000Personally, I sell. Probably would have sold it by now, as you only have a couple more months to do. OR ... lease off lawyer, as suggested, until you sell. Gives you more time for a better price.
