I thought Obama was the Navy Seals' boss and was involved in getting Obama. Apologies if I'm wrong on that and someone such as Roger Ailes or Rupert Murdoch are now the boss of the US military. That will then be why the terrorists aren't on the run? I think the anti-American / western terrorists ar...

I know, no fair comparing apples to mangoes, but I found this story in today's NYT interesting......wealthy Chinese sending their kids to Catholic high schools in NYC and paying "$47,500, more than five times what local students pay." http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/07/nyregion/catholic-schools-cour...

BIG concert going on tonight. Just getting started. Sitting outside watching (and listening) to the show. No parking within sight. Another reason I'm glad to be taking a break from Udon for awhile. Tired of going to the night market and NO PARKING; have to drop off the wife & kid and then park far ...

Mississippi Gulf Coast. My mom lives by herself and will soon be 85. We'll look after her and keep the house/property in good shape. She and my dad did everything for us kids; time to pay back however I can.

Everyone always takes the easiest way. Sending your child to school by no means re leaves the parents responsibility. The girl we have in English classes now. I sit with her and go over her homework. she knows I'm going to do that and she is ready. some of what happens some of what happens in a chi...

Leaving May 13. Keeping the house here for the time being. Plan on coming back each summer when my daughter is out of school. I'll still support my wife's family and keep my niece in Saint Mary's; at least SM is better than the village school in the boonies.

Every time it is approaching an end/start of term at St Mary's, I enquire as to which day is the last or first date. I can never get a definitive answer so if they can't organise term dates a year in advance what hope in hell do they have of actually being able to teach. The mind f*****g bogles. Pl...

I'm not interested in debating anyone on where the better education lies, Thailand or USA. Rather, I would tell them to check the data for themselves. The top-ranked university in Thailand doesn't even crack the top 300 world-wide.....pathetic. [-X Good point about the Thai uni's that is why I'm lo...

Are there enough expats of any nationality prepared to send there kids to this new school. To prevent this happening? Be interesting to see the mix of nationalities that attend when school starts Considering the tuition fee of 190000 to 270000 per year, I rather doubt that enough expats of any nati...

well i see many questionable ads here , what offer/price/seller concerned , i do not want to post any degenerated comments to make discredit the OP , let us say any offered item is worth his price as long as the buyer is willing to pay for it , so it is up to the buyer to decide...so think twice be...

check out http://www.taladrod.com for a true valuation of your Vehicle, you may be asking to much 150,000+ to much On taladrod some fortuners (same year) are priced less; some are more or roughly the same price. As my add says; "accepting reasonable offers". Also, I wouldn't personally buy a used v...

Don't have any school aged kids. But seems to me if you want your child to receive a western standard type of education you need to move back to your home country. Agree with this. One of the reasons I'm moving back to the states. My little one will enter first grade in the USA; tired of the poor e...

added a few pics; will add interior photos soon

The ACA is for folks living in the states. You don't need to do anything.

Hi, do we have any Trigonometry mathematicians out there in Udonville? Or anyone with a clever child......at least I think its trigonometry.... For a small project in the home I need to know the value of X in the diagram. Sorry the diagrams not to scale but I hope you get the gist of what I'm after...

If this is intended to be a least common multiple problem, it's terrible. A math problem for children shouldn't be full of missing information and assumptions which we, as adults, believe it is reasonable to make based on our life experience and socialization. I agree with this 100%. The problem is...

LDB and others except one are wrong. The question was how many stickers should the girl buy, not how many bags. The answer is NOT x number of stickers for each friend. Because that does not give the actual number of stickers. The only correct reply is from Bonanza. It is not possible to find the an...

Opinion: This problem is designed to see if the 9 year olds understand the concept of 'Least Common Multiple' which is needed to correctly solve the problem.

So the 9 year old would answer by saying, "Juanita needs to buy 12 stickers for each friend".

There is an assumption that there is the same number of stickers in each bag. Not one of the provided pieces of information. The way the problem is worded and the fact that the problem is directed at 9 year olds then I would conclude that the assumption on having the same number of stickers in each...
