Anyone happen to have a decent, basic violin they want to sell? It's for a 13-year-old girl who's learning, so don't need a Stradivarius. Or perhaps can anyone recommend a good music store that sells new and used instruments in town? I.e., violins, trumpets, ukeleles, etc.? Thanks for any tips or ad...

... went to Savannakhet via Mukdahan & NO Problems Granted 12 Month Multi Non-Imm O WITHOUT Showing ANY Bank Accounts,Only Marriage Certificate,House Books ( Wife's & My Yellow Book ) & Wife's ID Card..... So is this based on marriage, 747? I guess you need to be married for this one? Must you stay...

They made me sign a letter to this effect last time I was there also. I asked him - the new guy - aka "the ringer" - if he would really refuse a US Embassy Proof of Income affidavit, and he gave me a passive-aggressive, typically mealy-mouthed, " Too hard to calculate proof of income with letter - w...

A few people told me about an English speaking prosthodontist located near Udon Pit school.

Anyone have any details? Name? Location? Don't know where Udon Pit is either.

Thanks for any help or tips.

I think he did everyone a service by telling us what the government is up to these days. Apparently, they've been up to a lot, peeping, poking, and collecting all our data. As someone who worked for the NSA over 30 years ago, I would never have thought of betraying my oath - I don't think it would h...

Perhaps of interest to anyone in Phuket for New Year: The Phuket Electronic Music & Dance Festival will be held on Karon Beach, Phuket on New Year’s Eve. According to the TAT: There will be top acts, hot DJs, and fellow fans from 7 pm on into 2012. Join the competition for the newest, most distincti...

Just out of the service, I was riding my motorcycle across the US. Checked into a motel in Phoenix, saw the news; just sat there, stunned & sad. He was the man. The straight shooter. The working class hero. Something to be. Hard to imagine what he would have become by today, at 70. We'll never know.

Thanks TB - I appreciate your thoughtful responses.

There are lots of reasons. Doesn't help answer my question.

I'd be very keen to know what the marketing experts around here think about this organization's approach: http://www.smiletrain.org/site/PageServer Particularly their use of imagery especially prevalent on pages like this: http://www.smiletrain.org/site/PageServer?pagename=smiles Non-expert opinions...

A couple questions: 1) Do you reckon Finance Companies would do the same re lending, considering I've bought 2 cars through them over the years? And never missed a payment, this have a spotless record with them? 2) And what if it was a business I wanted to buy, and not a house? Providing of course t...

I can't imagine I'm the only one considering visiting DermotMap less & less...

Lots of latitude granted already... Definitely OTT.

Definitely booooooooooring.

And off-putting.

Jane Mayer pretty much "proves it" in her excellent book, "The Dark Side". Well worth a read. The invasion was not justified. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Tenet, Addington, et al, couldn't've given a damn. The even greater tragedy was the diversion of critical resources away from Afghanistan at the time....

When I was single and had a bit more disposable income - and travelled alone - I used to love EVA's Economy Deluxe, or Evergreen Class, or Elite Class - there seem to be many names for this in-between class. Closer to Economy rates than Business rates, and the legroom was wonderful, as was the servi...

I just returned from US and re-entered with my Multiple Entry visa. They set the expiration date at 2 Dec, which is the date my original O visa expired (a couple years ago; I've got extensions since then). The 90-day check-in slip in my passport is dated 16 Aug, when I would've checked in with them ...

Quick update: My son's Thai passport arrived in US in time for us to use it upon re-entry to Thailand; however, they told us: 1) To choose and use only one passport for our 2-year-old; and 2) Not to worry about using the US one for him to enter, given his age. They said he'll need to decide which on...

Hey Ed - No, we'll use US passport in US, entering & leaving. I know you gotta be careful sometimes. I once led a tour group travelling from Cambodia to Burma, and passing through Don Muang in transit. I made the mistake of checking them all into Thailand to get their luggage, forgetting it would be...

No worries, Aardie.

Guess I should go vote for Jack's avatar now, even though I have just had to field a few questions on it.

Yours fine though, Aa, even if he (she? it?!?) is naked! Think it's a male, though, eh?

Aa: We live here. We will visit the US for only 2 weeks. Thx for the other info, though.
