  1. Haven't seen the spray Cheez Whiz; called squeeze cheese by us midwesterners. The jar Cheez Whiz is available at Villa Market. It's great on an onion bagel with chopped ham. Don't knock it if you haven't tried it. (I also like cream cheese, but prefer the plastic cheese occasionally)
  2. Sugar is the 2nd most ingredient in Nestle Corn Flakes, even though it's difficult to tell. But I eat them with a banana and milk almost every day. I have to stop. My mother, a former farm girl, always said corn was used to fatten up the pigs. I am, unfortunately, living proof.
  3. Sorry, should have said just that notifications will become unbolded. I don't really care how many "read" messages are in my notifications. Chrome on Android.
  4. Just open "view notifications" in a new tab, then close the new tab. Done and dusted.
  5. What does your wife sell? If it's staple food-related, then I'd be worried too. If not, then I'm not so worried. Look at lazada; 100 types of air fryers, coffee machines, etc. Do we really need that many choices? (And I'm a capitalist) If plastic and tin sales are down, I'm not too worried.
  6. Just an update on my situation. Returned to rented condo on Oct 2nd after 2 weeks out-of-country. The only time since covid. Had the condo office do a TM30 update, but it was in late November that I brought it to their attention. Don't know what date they used for my start of stay. Did my online 90 day yesterday, accepted and this morning had my approval email and pdf.
  7. So if your savings is more than your SS, both in the US, let's say, how could you not just pull from savings and replenish savings with SS. Or, just claim SS as savings since you have more than that in a savings account. How would anyone verify that?
  8. I just set my thai phone to airplane mode when traveling to the states, and my state-side phone to airplane mode when in Thailand. The non-airplane mode phone's Hotspot is enabled and shared with the other phone. Never any data usage when in airplane mode. I still get SMS via Internet. Not sure about AIS local calls as I never get phone calls in Thailand other than deliveries.
  9. We love it. And we can afford a scooter, petrol, and a beer at a real bar! 🤣
  10. Very timely, which I'll get to later. Anyway, have the 2021 ABS model and use Android. I only used the app twice. The reason is because it should be designed to always run in the background and connect when you're close to your bike. Thus tracking every trip automatically. It doesn't. Every time you want it to track your stats, you have to pull out your phone, start the app, and wait for it to connect to the bike. If you're in a hurry, sorry, you just lost stats for that day because you didn't start the app. Anyway, the reason this is timely, is because just last week I get a recall SMS message from Yamaha stating the Y-connect module causes battery drain. I had already disconnected the module having needed to replace the battery within the first year of ownership. Lots on the Internet about this issue. I'm hoping your newer year model has solved that issue. For me, I'll just leave it disconnected. Other than that, I love this little scooter.
  11. My Amway story: In the late 70's, moved to California with my young wife and son for a job. Three years later moved back home to South Dakota. A distant friend, one I'd only see rarely when I met up with my good friends, called me up and talked about how he missed me, would like to catch up with he and his wife. I thought it was quite suspicious, for as little I knew about this guy, but my friends were all scattered now, and my wife says it'll be good to have new couples' friends. So, we invite them over and cook up a meal. Within minutes of arriving, I get, "So John (not my real name), have you ever thought of bettering yourself, owning a mansion, a yacht, etc." Continues to rattle on while I'm thinking, what's this guy talking about. Then it hit me, Amway salesman! I looked him in the eye and said, "is this about Amway?" As he nodded and started proclaiming the merits of Amway, I stood up and said GTFO. That was the day I learned to trust my instincts.
  12. "May", "suggests", and "estimate" are not scientific terms. If I drop a hammer, it "will" fall to the ground. Once you notice the narrative, you can't unnotice it.
  13. If I had to do it over, I'd opt for the Roth. Dealing with distributions and taxes when retired is a PITA. And worry about eventual Required Minimum Distributions will also be. Of course I do my own taxes. But, currently, taxes are fewer now than when I was earning. So I am saving a few bucks, but that wouldn't have bothered me then.
  14. Just answered his question, "How do I read only content I posted in ?"
  15. Menu/Activity/My Activity Streams/Content I Posted In Right click to create a bookmark.
  16. Just hold your finger on each notification link and click open in a new tab. Then select to view each at the bottom of the browser (Chrome mobile)
  17. I returned Oct 2. Just worried about my ability to online report next month. I rent, and have asked condo management about an updated TM30, but haven't done it yet.
  18. I know. But with immigration now requiring updated TM30 for recent out-of-country travelers, I'm looking to see if anyone has been rejected online due to new entry date and no updated TM30. This thread isn't about whether the online reporting website is working or not.
  19. But have you left the country since your last TM30?
  20. I'm no scientist or PhD, but, my theory is the design is perfect. Night wood, creating a blood engorged penis and stimulated prostate prevents urine from trickling out during sleep. No one wants to sleep in his own waste. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it!
  21. She did not have Covid at the time of her admission to the hospital, nor upon her death. I do realize that clots are not specific to only Covid nor the vaccines. Maybe she ate too many French fries, or was too sedentary. Of course, then our parents would've been dead a long time ago. I'll wait a couple years. If nothing comes of these sudden deaths, then I'll chaulk it up to bad health. Until then, I'm a skeptic and a septic (tank).
  22. Just know, that IF SHTF, and it becomes generally accepted that mrna vaccines cause more problems than they prevent, which I believe, and Americans become the target for the angry mob, I did NOT partake in these global dillusions. Until then, I will be content to be wrong.
  23. How's this: This is my anecdotal data. But glad I didn't trust my government who MAY have had a hand in the accidental, or purposeful release of the virus using my tax dollars, to also recommend a "cure".
