Trust me, he has been "talked to". But he is in love. Sends some (little) money every month. He states he is going no matter what.

Thanks Munch for the prompt response.

Can anyone translate this to the King's English language? As in translation from Thai to English.

I have a long time travel companion. He plans to retire in Thailand. He has a Thai wife living presently in Thailand. Mother "sick". As that story goes. Problem is, he does not have enough money in the bank. Nor does he meet the income requirements for a retirement visa. My question is: Can he do it?

Used the Amazon link from Thai360 again. For a couple of purchases.

All sorts of social media now. Many I know don't even use a desktop or laptop. Just "pads" or cell phones. As I stated in another post, the average number of times people check their smartphones is 150 per day. Amazing.

Got to just love college football. No show - just write one paper. Get an A. "Here’s the Awful 146-Word “Essay†That Earned an A- for a UNC Jock" “On the evening of December Rosa Parks decided that she was going to sit in the white people section on the bus in Montgomery, Alabama. During this time blacks had to give up there seats to whites when more whites got on the bus. Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. Her and the bus driver began to talk and the conversation went like this. “Let me have those front seats†said the driver. She didn’t get up and told the driver that she was tired of giving her seat to white people. “I’m going to have you arrested,†said the driver. “You may do that,†Rosa Parks responded. Two white policemen came in and Rosa Parks asked them “why do you all push us around?†The police officer replied and said “I don’t know, but the law is the law and you’re under arrest.†LINK

“A judge awarded a Tampa woman $600,000 in damages after she said a former boyfriend posted nude photos of her online. "I feel like after today I can close that chapter and move forward and I hope that other women can learn from this as well," Melissa Berry said.†LINK

All US states have new car dealer associations. As any group, they have lobbied their respective legislatures for laws to be passed in their own interest. This is the way the system has been set up. Now, comes along Telsa - and they want to circumvent all of these laws. Ain't gonna happen. And besides, what idiot would purchase an expensive automobile at some shopping mall? With no service set up anywhere.

China long plan is to combine with Taiwan. The two China policy in Hong Kong is a test.

Keene Pumpkin Festival 2014 “Disturbances continued into Sunday morning after parties at Keene State College spun out of control Saturday. Police in riot gear fired tear gas at hundreds of students throwing bottles and other objects, according to witnesses on the scene. At least one car and two Dumpsters were overturned.†LINK Small Town Militarization: Keene, NH “Readers may already be familiar with the tiny town of Keene, NH despite its population of some 20,000 people in rural New Hampshire. The town has been a major site for the Free State Project and radio advertisements mentioning Keene are heard regularly when listening to Antiwar Radio on LRN. You may or may not be familiar with Lenco Industries, a Pittsfield, MA-based company that manufactures heavily armored vehicles for government agencies. But even if you are familiar with both, you might not have imagined that the twain should ever meet. But the Department of Homeland Security is seeing to it that they have, throwing $285,933 in grant money at the Keene city government to buy what their mayor referred to as “our own tank.â€â€ LINK

I was reading an article last night about fathers and sons, and memories came flooding back of the time I took my son out for his first drink. Off we went to our local bar, which is only two blocks from the house. I got him a Miller Genuine. He didn't like it – so I drank it. Then I got him an Old Style, he didn't like it either, so I drank it. It was the same with the Coors and the Bud. By the time we got down to the Irish whiskey... I could hardly push the stroller back home.

Apparently so. I hope none of this interferes with my planned tourist trip to North Korea.

Fine to listen to Glenn Back or Alex Jones - for entertainment purposes. But actual facts are far removed from any conversations. The Evidence: Debunking FEMA Camp Myths Earlier this week, PM editor-in-chief James Meigs appeared on Glenn Beck's FOX news program twice to debunk conspiracy theories regarding supposed "concentration camps" being built by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. You can read transcripts from those appearances here and here. But PM's research went beyond what could fit in the short segments. Below are more details regarding some of the most prevalent claims, and facts, uncovered through PM's independent investigation. 1. North Korea/Wyoming detention center CLAIM: "There is a minimum of one confirmed concentration camp built on American soil in rural Wyoming. " The (Department of Homeland Security) accidentally placed these photos on a publicly accessible portion of their website " (but) they were pulled within one hour. " The images are not gone forever though." FACT: These actually are legitimate images of "forced-labor colonies, camps, and prisons"--in North Korea. The images were taken from "The Hidden Gulag: Exposing North Korea's Prison Camps," a report prepared by the Washington D.C.-based Committee for Human Rights in North Korea. LINK

Police Commission. Some municpalities/cities/towns - have an elected Police Commission. From the general public. Might be a good idea for more to do this. Where is the training for these police officers?

It's a TV show. From commercial television. Seeking ratings. As Popular Mechanics points out, this “famous coffin facility†is actually the home office of Vantage Products, the largest commercial producer of plastic coffin liners, who supply the material for many of the 900,000 in-ground burials that take place every year in America. As you can see from their site, Vantage is a pretty non-threatening compnay. As you can see on Google maps, they’re located right in Covington, GA—outside Atlanta. Is Vantage Products actually a FEMA cover-up operation? Now that’s a conspiracy theory I could get excited about. Unfortunately, it’s not the one Ventura and Jones are making. Looks like Friday’s show will spread their very own brand of staged terror. Weak, guys—weak. LINK

I spent one night in Little Rock, Arkansas - and it is dead ! Pentagon program delivered Humvee, rifle and kayak to Arkansas coroner "Doug Wortham used a Defense Department giveaway program for law enforcement to stock his office with an assault rifle, a handgun and a Humvee – even through the people in his custody are in no condition to put up a fight.

He says the Humvee helps him navigate the rugged terrain of the Ozarks foothills, but he struggled to explain why he needs the surplus military weapons he acquired more than two years ago." LINK
