Have you ever had a near-death experience (NDE)?
Way back in the eighties I was flying from Sydney to Hobart in a small aircraft ( beech Baron ) . The weather was pretty poor with rain and low cloud but my crew and I had to be there that day so we took off asking for storm information from Sydney Tower, sorry, radar out at the moment was the answer. Full power and take off and we were in the clouds in seconds, instrument flying only, luckily the Pilot was my flight instructor and a very cool unflappable chap. We got to 1500 ft and suddenly we started going down at 3000 ft per minute, raising the nose only reduced the airspeed bringing us close to a stall. I remember watching the altimeter winding down until it got to 300 ft., house roofs appeared through gaps in the clouds and were very close and I was expecting a painful end. My thoughts which seemed totally rational were not uttering prayers , all I could think of was my Wife and two Daughters were going to be financially secure, thank goodness I listened to my Accountant and took out a policy which covered me for all eventualities. All of a sudden we were going up faster than any Baron has ever climbed and four minutes later we were above the clouds looking down at a beautiful layer of blinding white which matched all of our faces, it turns out Sydney had vectored us into a microburst and we were lucky that we flew from the centre to the updraft before hitting the ground. Someone asked me did I believe in God, I suppose the answers no, I could be wrong.... -

Tax Filing Experience: Jomtien [March-2025]
Uh, Jim........that isn't "domestic" law overriding a DTA. That's the US sticking that savings clause provision into the DTA's themselves when they negotiated each and every DTA. Nothing about the DTA in that case being overridden by domestic law, since the provision already exists. -

Medical clinics
I like to get around different medical clinics on my visit to Pattaya I have come to the conclusion that the farang doctor up at thappayra Rd wins hands down in the service despite being the highest cost Dr Oliver The worst is the reception at the Jomtien medical clinic, rude girl on reception who kept sighing after I asked questions about the IV vitamins For now on please don't expect me to go to medical clinics in Thailand -

The feeling once again being in a love relationship with a genuine Thai lady.
If you're with a woman you can't let out of your sight, you've chosen the wrong one. I'd have no worries sending mine on a one-month vacation. I'd trust her more than I'd trust myself LOL.- 1

Trump’s Power Move: Banning Masks to End Campus Chaos
Well I have a lot of Jews in my family and I have a lot of very close Jewish friends, and I have a lot of affection for the Jewish faith and culture. But for people with relatively simple minds, the concept of separating how one feels about Jews from how one feels about official Israeli politics and policy is just simply too much to grasp. It is alot more nuanced and is just too complicated, for jingos, memes and hateful politics. -

Boycott of US goods spreading worldwide poor donald
American products and services most vulnerable to consumer boycott: fast food restaurant chains, junk food, beverages, cars and trucks, car parts (i.e., tires), home appliances and electronics, cell phones, watches, hotel chains, airlines, social media, internet retailers, banks, American stocks, bonds, securities. Somewhat shielded from boycott out of necessity, but still vulnerable to consumers curtailing purchases: clothing and footwear manufacturers and retailers. Anyone who can help flesh out this list, is more than welcome to do so.
