Foreign Pilot Approval Raises Concerns for Thai Aviation
Statistically, and empirically nothing, it happens worldwide, all the time. "Newby" pilots, as you disparagingly refer to them, are not new pilots, they are fully qualified, trained pilots under the guidance of experienced Captains who all have a vested interest in getting home alive with an intact aircraft. -

Do Expats in Thailand Often Trade Western Wives for Younger Thai Women?
I moved to Chiang Mai with my western wife two years ago and separated from her last year. The usual "we grew apart scenario", with a dose of "still friends" (friendly, rather than friends, would be more accurate). Chiang Mai has a fair few western women like my wife who meet up for lunches at places like The FreeBird Cafe. They have all sworn off men and sex 100%, but still get a fair bit of attention. An even OK-looking older western woman is still in demand among western expat men. My ex innocently put up a friends-request on Tinder. She got 60+ responses a day, all from western men, maybe one every other day from Thai women who wanted to practice English. I moved to Bangkok and would prefer a western woman myself. Education, light kink, temperament all figure into my preference. I am 72, I figure I might be able to date down to 56. No prospects on either Tinder or at Meetups. Most older western women are married, at least for the moment. A few drunken German women in Hua Hin and Pattaya would be my dating universe, all with age preferences set lower than 72. I'm talking about 9 candidates in three cities, who were all very picky when I contacted them. I'm going to Chula University in Bangkok this January, and might meet someone (Thai) that way. Tinder Thai prospects north of 50 speak limited English, have close to zero in their profiles, beyond a lot of "take care of each other" blather. I don't want to go much younger, and judging by their age range preferences, 65 seems to be the hard cut off date for Thai women 45-52. My thinking going forward is: -De-emphasize romance in my life and enjoy other great stuff about being me -Take a look at Chinese women living here (also consider a LD relationship in Singapore). -Put minimal effort into my search since the odds are bad and just wait to see what turns up. Coments welcome, partic if Bangkok-centric. -

Prostate surgery user reviews .... turp? rezum? other ?
I've had BPH for at least 10 years. I had an MRI 2 years ago after my PSA levels increased, but a subsequent biopsy found no cancerous cells, but did find 2 benign calcium stones inside my prostate. I have taken alfusolin daily for maybe 5 years, as my flow got worst 5 years ago. However, i recently (4 weeks ago), stopped taking this medication, (primarily because I am working in Myanmar and supply of medicines is difficult). Well, I haven't noticed any difference in my flow after stopping the medication! I do get up 1 or 2 times per night to pee, AND I do have antibiotic-resistant e-coli infections. But I've got used to these issues and can live with them. To summarise, my flow rate is acceptable even after stopping the alfusolin medication. Addendum: I now teach at a school, and have no problems with the urge to pee, no need to rush out of the classroom! I can wait an hour or 2 without issue. -

Visit to get tax ID and disabled certificate today- Waste of time.
Well I don't pay tax anywhere, When I asked the German tax authorities they said I haven't paid any tax to them for the last 19 years because they have assumed I pay tax in Thailand. I worked out all my incoming money and the deductions I could use and calculated I must pay 38k Baht. It's fairly simple to work out and my income isn't complicated so I will try without a tax consultant. -

Rising Alarm: CDC Monitors Mystery Flu-Like Illness Killing Dozens in Africa
Monkey pox got no traction, nor did its rebrand "MPox"..... before that it was tomato virus or some such, but that b0mbed, too. DISEASE X .......... from the Congo ........... a much more menacing and sinister ring to it. Could gain much needed traction for W-H-O and the vaxxx enterprises. No worries here mate. I've got stock in all the major vaxxxx mixologists... -

Progressive Leaders Join Elon Musk in Critiquing American Healthcare Costs
Sometimes you just have to pragmatic. ‘The enemy of my enemy is my friend’, or something like that. But still, even though progressive leaders may agree with Musk on this issue, it’s very likely that they have very different ideas about how to fix this. So I’m not at all sure this will be a workable coalition. -
