Sad or Happy Story?
Both, so far happy for Nong Ming and better for Mum, but the sad part is that there are thousands of other "Nong Mings" out there...
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

Good for you Steve. :thumb: Father Joe Maier has been doing this work here for 43 years! I and many would rank him right up there with Mother Teresa. Pete :cheers:

Yes, quite right, Pete. The Government should take just 1 of those billions of Taksins, and give it to Father Joe. :thumb:

No, sorry Don, I didn't see it. The article is dated Feb. 21 with the comment, "...a couple of nights ago..." so assume somewhere around Feb 18-19, but no reference to channel.

Maybe zing an email off to the Mercy Centre and they may be able to give you the reference. Pete :cheers:

Thanks Pete, I will get the wife to phone home and get her parents take on it, as they always watch the news.
