Proof of Life.
I went to the local post office last week and showed them my receipt and they said it arrived 6 days after I posted it. I went to the post office last week, showed them my receipt and they told me it arrived six days after I posted it. I tried that phone no and I could not make out the recorded male voice. -

USA California Upheaval: Immigration Raids Trigger Chaos
What is a "small fraction? And why ignore drunk driving, robbery, fraud, hit & run, driving on a revoked license and or without insurance, welfare fraud, Medicaid fraud, tax fraud, etc. What percentage of those "ensnared" has "...spent decades living lawfully and building communities..."? Being an immigrant is just being an immigrant. Being an illegal alien is being a criminal. -

Why do people want to live in Isaan?
Why I Live in Isaan (And No, It's Not for a Bargain Girlfriend and a Leo Tower...) I ended up in Isaan for one main reason: family. My partner of 29 years is from this part of the world, and the strong family connections made it the obvious choice. Add in some health issues (thankfully sorted after a major op at Bumrungrad), and it was time to leave behind the bright lights of Pattaya, which, frankly, has morphed into something I no longer like or even recognise. Back in 2000, my other half's family had a patch of derelict land here. I bought it from the in-laws and secured a usufruct, so there has never been any drama about who owns what. Over the years, we’ve developed it into a proper compound: four properties, fully paid for, walled in, and with no neighbours in sight. Yet, we’re only a mile from a busy little town, accessible via proper roads. Before my illness, when I was still in business in Pattaya, we’d already started developing the place as a base for our later years. Now, in 2025, it’s exactly what we hoped for: a comfortable, peaceful life with all the modern conveniences. A nice house, a new car, a great TV setup, and, most importantly, no stress. The town itself has grown with us. It now boasts all the essentials — banks, malls, a big Lotus — and recently added a fully equipped gym, which I love. I’m in there five times a week and speed walk around a beautiful lake six days out of seven, trying to keep the 63-year-old body ticking over. The lake’s got a running track and public workout area, and the town regularly hosts concerts and community events. The food scene is solid — loads of great, affordable local restaurants — and I get a steady stream of friends visiting after Bangkok or Pattaya, usually blown away by the lower prices and slower pace. Yes, we’ve got a couple of beer bars and even a host bar now, but they hold zero interest for me. I’ve never been Billy Barstool, belly out, beer in hand at 9 am, rambling on about fictional SAS days and paid girlfriends. Each to their own, but I’ll pass. My partner’s content is keeping house and enjoying a quiet life. We’ve built something that works for us — not flashy, not fake, just right. We’re an hour from Mukdahan and Laos, 45 minutes to the airport (handy for Don Muang), and I can be in Siem Reap in six hours flat. Khon Kaen is two hours away for my annual checkups and any serious health matters, though I’m generally in good shape now. Would I trade this for the barstool life in Pattaya? Not in a million years. This is home — and I wouldn’t have it any other way. -

Trump just made an idiot move
You don't say, see who is the world record holder for pleading the fifth amendment. https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trumps-history-fifth-amendment-still-isnt-allies-favors-rcna218333 Trump’s history with the Fifth Amendment still isn’t doing his allies any favors After Joe Biden's former physician took the Fifth, James Comer said that suggested "criminal liability.” Would he apply that standard to Donald Trump, too? Around this time three years ago, for example, as New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office continued its investigation into the Trump Organization’s fraudulent business practices, the Republican indicated in advance that he’d assert his Fifth Amendment privileges, invoking his right against self-incrimination. As NBC News reported soon after, he did exactly that — a great many times. -

Report Retired Aussie Officer Loses 40 Million Baht in Phuket Crypto Scam
No time to review 5 pages of comments. What I've learned as an investor over past 12 years. STEP into a new investment. X% over X time. ALWAYS due some Due Diligence (Learn and understand basically what the investment is, how it is performing, what your investment performance is advertised as [same or substantially higher rate increases] Ask questions. How long have you been a financial advisor, investor. What investment products have you managed and sold? Where have you worked? Do you have any financial certifications or qualifications? On the spot ask to see the account, spreadsheets, of the investment. (Look for if it's Personal or Business Bank Account) Take some profits if available over the 1st first year. If someone is managing assets properly you can get paid at end of the settlement date (excluding holidays, sometimes weekends) Any Delays, how many communications does it take to get paid? Do your own homework. Crypto, S&P index fund, etc. How has the general market been performing? Up X% Down X% what has your investment performance % percentage? Careful of Behavioral Psychology when investing. FOMO Fear of Missing Out? Investment product is up X% outperforming Most other Investments, if I was ALL in I would've hit the Jackpot. What is fueling the increase, growth, has it peaked, is it going to Slow and Underperform next X months? Recent News or temporary event that causes an unexpected drop in price or spike in price. (Spike maybe take some profits) Be Realistic with your % of Profits. Understand because market has returned X% last couple years it may only return a little or be negative, drop and losses occur. You can't force the direction of the market to what you want but it historically will rise. Sometimes you'll have cash idle or place in 1,3,6, month No penalty CD ( receive interest usually up till withdrawal, Need to Remove total amount deposited sometimes)
