A 73yo friend of mine has to have expensive medical treatment. The only way he can pay for it is with his credit csrd.with the debt he already has and by paying only a little more than the minimum paymrnt due each month it will take 42 years to pay it back.

Obviously he knows it will never be paid.

to look like a 7. then write a 7 with a stroke through the leg of the 7 for clarity. when ever I write 17 for example I always have to clarify it. maddening,

But i'm glad at least that they write most numbers in English and not Thai

body parts for example.

When i was there many years ago I saw lots of jeep bodies made of stainless v

steal. is this still the case.

I am particularly interested in a hood or bonnet for an m38

I will be travelling the North of Thailand by car and trailer. I will be looking for fairly small wood carvings. Is there a wood carving center in North or N E Thailand ?

I will be traveling in a 4x4 jeep sleeping in a trailer , What I really need to know is how good is the signal for the internet in the mountains. I will have a computer with a Dtac or AIS SIM card

Like the coins of Singapore for example

I was surprised to learn of it, not that I am concerned but I thought many would be.

Would it erupt in flames like in the movies. After all the fuel is under ground and if the pumps are destroyed there would be only a small amount of fumes,, I would think

I will probably need surgery for tongue cancer, and the Dr mentioned radiation . I am now beginning to realize I know nothing about it. some one mentioned a feeding tube. I had no idea about this.

The hospital is about 200miles or 300 km away and I thought I could just drive there and drive back a few days later,

Ps I am in Thailand and though the Dr speaks English he did not tell me much and I was not aware of the questions I should ask

I am looking at the prospect of surgery then radiation therapy on my tongue.

The hospital where I will have this done is about 300 km from home and public transport is not a good option.

My question is Will I be too sick to drive myself home ?

I am enjoying a delicious sandwich of luncheon meat of the same name and that brought up the question

I enjoy tinned sardines on toast. They are done in extra virgin olive oil which once I have my sardines on toast I usually empty the remaining oil down the sink. Am I being wasteful ?

As in I need 15 CFM at the gun to spray paint my vintage Jeep.I have been doing some research about DIY spray painting and all the info talks about CFM I guess its because America is yet to catch up with the rest of the world.

P.S Please don''t say just go to a panel shop and as the guys there as I am in Thailand and though I could get my question across I would not be able to understand the reply. Same thing at all the shops selling compressors on the info tag they don't mention CFM

Any way I have since found out I can get the job done by professionals for less than $650.00. Eat your heart out guys.

US cargo ship held in Venezuela

By: Reuters | September 08, 2012 |

CARACAS - Venezuelan authorities have arrested the American captain of a US-flagged cargo ship after finding three rifles on board, according to a crew member of the vessel and a US embassy official. Local officials, the crew member said, suspect the vessel of arms trafficking and on Wednesday held crew members, under armed guard, at the rear of the ship while other officials interrogated the captain. The captain, the crew member added, was then arrested and taken from the ship. The crew member, one of the 14 other Americans who staff the ship along with the captain, gave an account of the episode in an email to Reuters.

and also posted updates on his Facebook page.

He asked that he not be identified. The detention followed last month’s arrest of another U.S. citizen, who was accused of entering illegally from neighboring Colombia and denounced as a possible “mercenary” by President Hugo Chavez. Chavez, a socialist seeking re-election next month, is a ferocious critic of Washington, and his nearly 14-year rule has been characterized by frequent bilateral spats and incidents. The crew member of the “Ocean Atlas” in the email said the vessel has been detained in Maracaibo port, in west Venezuela, since August 29. Venezuelan police, the crew member said, boarded the ship shortly after it moored, saying they had received a tip that the vessel carried illegal drugs. The officials, he added, searched the vessel and found no drugs, but did find rifles stored on board the ship for security. The captain and crew were then kept from leaving the ship until local officials returned to investigate this week.
