sure , we can't even reliably predict when we will be able to go to Thailand again, not to mention more monumental questions about the future

as we learned recently whether country is 1st or 3rd world power, often can't stamp it's will long term on backward and undeveloped country s there's hope for minnows

Always did. World in 1900 and in 1945 was completely different and the same when we compare one in 1990 with that in 1945

perhaps that's the goal - learn to live with contained covid as attempts at "zero covid" policies seem to be just pipe dream. My sister lives in a country with slightly above half of population vaccinated and that along with other standard measures was enough to bring infection rate down exponentially ( about 100 times in 5 months ). Warnings about fourth wave from mid-Aug so far did not materialize that much either. Perhaps THAT virus requires less than standard 70% for herd immunity? just saying as I'm not neither very interested in medical stuff nor qualified to say much ( although being built by qualified staff did not prevent Titanic from sinking ) .

perhaps it's the same mechanism which makes us missing our school years, we forgot tons of homework, bad marks, failed tests and nasty teachers but good stuff lingers on in our memory.

Good point !

Nice to hear but I don't believe in those predictions / promises until they will be firmly announced

that means , like in many other countries locals are being priced out of market

thank you I'm waiting for spoon's comment

indeed , it looks like he is coming with twins

Not only that but also broke unwritten thief code of not stealing where one lives

done can't say I liked it much, perhaps because I did not like character of Ozone and I 'm not much of fan of Earth, actor playing him. Hope next 6 episodes with different actions and characters will be more to my grumbled liking Did not manage to watch Bite Me yet but trailer looks very appetizing

thank you 7 project was my project for tonight, now with your recommendation enforced

yes , that unfortunate guy need to die horrible death for powers to realize police need to strive for those worthy goals

perhaps you too young to remember, it was early late 80 and early 90 ties I guess, best sitcom ever. Rose / Betty White / must be approaching 100 now. Is Blanche , one in picture still alive? anybody knows? (I know I can google)

oh yes , that bulge in the back pocket !

I answered Travellersdave question in other thread. When talking to a guy I usually ask 3 questions "do you go with me", ' long time? ' and ' do you kiss", Sometimes also compensation question as I like those arrangements made before we open door but often this is matter of fact or initiated by guy himself. When we are already in the room I may ask whether he likes girls or guys out of curiosity and to maintain conversation. Still remember great answer by Jack from Senso "I like girls but I like your hand there too". As with any question of that nature I'd expect answer matching not truth but what boy thinks I'd like to hear. It has nothing to do with honesty, rather with maintaining conversation between after all , strangers. When somebody ask us " how are you ?', rarely we answer with ' shitty, I had diarrhea whole night' even if that would be true.

slowly but surely sanity returns

I always dream about Koh Larn being independent country and you know why

thank you for the warning but water in tropics is too wet anyways

but at least those trying that method of fighting covid will have much improved breath

I feel stupid but will ask nevertheless , what SHA stands for ?

only in first few days I guess, then they will start filling up and checking proofs will be more and more cursory if at all. Who will bother?

Yearbook the series almost finished with last episode due coming week. Teary but not sentimental and actually tells about rare but real , not invented, problem some couple may face. Even frequent repetitions of scenes have their purpose and I found them not annoying. Box of Kleenexes and big towel ready for last part but short interview with actors playing main characters at end of episode 7 makes me feeling that it may not finish as bad as expected so far. Kleenexes can be used for something else after all

world is big time doomed
