My feelings on the photo proof is this. Most places to cash a check or recieve money even from a wire transfer you need photo Id. Well Western Union says you can have a test question and answer setup. But to vote I believe you should have a valid ID from a US issued agency. Plain and simple.. No ID no vote...

Your telling me, I'm 55 and limited in various work fields. I can do alot of the different jobs as they are required with my line of work. But due to no college paper saying I took the courses for that line of work I'm s.o.l.

Yep the tax rates here in the States are really bad. With my line of work, I have to buy what are called apporationed truck plates. To travel the country and then more to for travel into Canada. That runs about 1600.00 every year. Then 550.00 in Federal highway use tax. Plus pay a tax for the miles I travel in each state and parts of Canada. But I get tax credit if I buy enough fuel in each of those states. This has to be filed every quarter. Then when I buy fuel there is the fuel tax included in the pump price. Plus sales tax on parts in the area I happen to need to buy parts. Plus I have to buy what they called an international fuel tax sticker also. Then some states if I do work inside their state. Say pick and deliver in their state with the same load they want their cut of the revenue tax I made there even though I'm not based in that state...

Trust me, I've traveled alot of Kansas back roads with my work. Got love the part where if it's raining and I have a oversize load on I have to park... Yea thanks 14' wide and 120' long.. Yea let me park at the next 7/11 I see. 555

And they wonder why we go to S.E. Asia to get laid. 555

I can agree with you on that Coss. I was was brought up to use mine for hunting. I can't see having an AR 15 just to have it. I had a nice custom made .270 when I was younger. Sold it and my other guns years ago to start a business deal. Kinda dumb, but I needed the funds way back then

Nope, let's not go there. Growing up I used to hunt and trap. Yep I shot the easter bunny and bambi.. Tasty pieces of meat. Sold the furs from trapping.. I only own 1 hand gun now and that was my late fathers weapon.. When I got my first rifle, I had to take a hunters safety course. Dad said so... We had guns in the house, not many. I knew where they were, but never went and got one out and tried to shoot anyone because things did not go my way.. I was brought up they are not toys.... Yes owners of guns do need to take better control of them, trigger locks and gun safes. Yes. But let's get the ATF to quit selling and losing guns to the drug dealers in Mexico and even here in the U.S.

Good reply, Yep we are screwed again if she gets in. I can't afford 4 more years the way things have been now. I've had to down size my operations. Just barely making now.. Things get any worse I'll be on the dole instead of supporting the millions on the dole..

Hire a doggy sitter for the new puppy. lol Just make sure they are old and ugly, so your wife won't get jealous. lol

Sorry to read about the loss of your family pet.. At least he is not hurting any more..

Was the area on the east side of the main trk. gate about 1 mile south? If so there are dump trailers coming out of that area when I was there last in the fall. Big check point with armed guards and sensors just under the canopy.

I give Mekong all the credit in the world. I gave up the drinking for 6 years. Cost me a good wife I had, money and a few jobs. Was off the stuff for 6 years. Every now and then I have a few. Not a whole lot like before.. Rebuilding took time and getting the trust back from certain people and contracts. Good Luck and Congrats again Mekong

Congrats. I've been following your posts. Glad the man wins this time in the divorce courts. Plus you got most of your money back. Just wish you nothing but good luck and future. Chok Dee Mekong

Keep going. I bet this is going to get real interesting bwefore it's over.. Would be real funny to hear she and her fmily ends up doing time.. Then they will find out money can not allways buy your way out of trouble.

Here is a song you might want to add. I'm not sure on doing the you tube link thing. So you can post it if you believe it fits for all going on. Tom Petty, "I wont back down"

Great find,Thanks. Hope I do not get popped for ramdom now. 555. Wife handed me the headphones. No sense of humor..

Yes, Was a damm good tune. Never heard the extended version with the drum solo. My wife though not being a rock nd roll person. kinda shook her head when I played it twice.. Keep going strong and do not let go with the bite you have on her now

Good deal. I'm happy to see your hard work is starting to pay off for you in this matter. Great song for the issue at hand.. Now the big question is, will she shell out the baht / flee/ or go to jail??

So if she does not show up they give her another date then I take it? Kinda like when I was divorcing my last wife.Damm judge gave her 3 different times to show up. She never did. Then I got my divorce. Hope things go good for you

Any updates on the battle? Hopefully he's still alive and gets the big win..

Just glad to hear your still above the pavement, so too speak.. Best of luck to you. How are your dogs doing, or should we not go into that mine field?

Has anybody heard from Mekong lately? It's past the middle of Dec. Hopefully things went well with him at his court hearings.

Has anybody heard from Mekong lately?? Last I saw posted he was to have a meeting I believe with his soon to be ex.. Hopefully he's not in jail or dead.. Have I missed any news?

Good Luck in getting things worked out. I hope no stray bullets go flying by you.. Like other poster stated. See if you can get the dogs back if it works out with your work plans. Again good luck and keep us posted. Grandpa
