You can expect to get your deposit refunded in four months

It used to be when you terminated True satellite TV service, you took the receiver to the local shop and your deposit was refunded.
It's different these days. You have to cancel in person and give a copy of your passport page.  They won't accept the box on the spot. 
Almost two months later, technicians arrive to collect the satellite dish and the box.  You can expect a refund check within thirty days after that.
Basically you can expect to wait up to three months for a refund check from the date of cancellation. 
 Of course Thai banks don't give you cash on the spot for checks  The bank processes the check, and you can expect it to clear within 30 days.

Connection problem solved

 Received this notice from a website I use daily.  

At first thought it was a website problem. 

Only had this notice on one of two computers.

Ran a virus program, no help.  Internet searches did not help much either.

Then I decided to save my bookmarks and other pertinent browser details. Uninstalled Chrome completely and reinstalled Chrome. 
Problem solved.  Appears an undetectable addon may have been in the browser.  Have to uninstall and reinstall other browsers on that computer

I've heard some whimpering about cool temperatures,
whimper some more

Even though weather services can't agree on a temperature, daytime temperatures are going to be cooling over the weekend

The cooling temperatures are a bit more obvious during overnight lows

32 celsius = 89.6 fahrenheit
12 celsius = 53.6 fahrenheit
