  1. These things are quite imposing when you stumble onto one.... I'm not a big fan of wild, roving reptiles....
  2. Nope..... She might talk to a neighbor over the fence/low wall for about 10 minutes max.... She overheard a couple of neighbors gossiping & rarely talks with them, but they all get along....She dislikes gossip..... Once, she spoke to another neighbor (that basically works - then home <cute with great legs>) for about 2 hours & I thought maybe I missed the apocalypse or something.....The neighbors are all long time, settled owners..... She might talk to her folks once every two weeks.....Our oldest daughter is in the Uni so they check in a few times a week - never over 10 minutes ... Friends - rarely, she's got a group of 12 from her Uni days that had formed a study group....Each went on to be successful & their contact over time has dwindled....FB seems to cover all their updates..... However, when there are family visits they'll prattle on for hours.... I'm actually more visible & outgoing around the Mubaan than she is.... Phone conversations - I've never seen her talk for over 15 minutes....
  3. Probably.... I'd probably opt for a small fridge, microwave, & electric oven - there's a lot than can be prepared with that combo if you're willing to relearn some of your skills....You could also get an electric mukata grill that basically will let you cook with chopsticks..... Pan frying food is going to muck up the walls, linens, etc in a small room..... Better check on your available electric service before you overheat the service & burn the building down.... I have seen some rooms that have ample space on an open rear balcony for a small cooking space.....
  4. I'm 6'4" and really haven't come across a lot of difficulties.... Some Tuk Tuks are undersized a tough squeeze - I've only used a few times...Some handrails are low....Some stair steps are narrow & steep.... Other than that, it's pretty easy to live life....
  5. I do not have now, but almost always had a chest freezer....It was always a valuable add.... I would have one now except my wife doesn't see a need.... Given that she keeps us going with fresh daily preparation it's been working.... If it were up to me we would have one.... Makro has a selection with decent pricing....
  6. Just becomes part of the "living" part of life.... I don't like people in my space, so this would be intolerable....I like to have a little control over the space around me....For safety & decency.... I remember going through an airport in the middle east for a flight leg/transfer.....A few hundred crowded people waiting in cordoned zig zag lines to be processed....Some fat westerner German lady said loudly "we don't have to put up with this" and unlocked the cordon to cut straight through = everybody stampeded, some were ruthless....Some fell or were knocked down by the crush....Roller bags became weaponized....I pulled my lady out of the way behind a pillar until order was restored.... I don't like being locked into a herd....
  7. Bingo - a must have for most woodworking....
  8. Add to the list.... Stairways/steps.... Guardrails = height....(the last miscalculation that some people make)..... Thai Lady's hands....Regardless of body size, Thai women universally seem to all have small, delicate hands.....
  9. Yeah - just not a polite way to say it....
  10. I just saw an ad from them less than a week ago....I think they are still there....
  11. Lazada has a few choices....I bought some to make removable slip in panels for when we karaoke...... The squares are about 1x1 ft. I glued them to some of that plastic sign (all purpose) board cut to window sizes to fit between the screen & glass panels.....
  12. Interesting question..... Of course I could live alone very well.....Everything needed is on available here (CM)..... But, I also have a car & RV back in the states..... I'd probably go RV through a few states for awhile & touch base with friends & family, country wide ... Then decide what, where, when, and why..... Meeting people has never been a problem.....Maybe just RV around and get a Bangkeaw puppy to train.....
  13. If we are remembering 1st cars - this (file pic) was the first car I went out & bought by/for myself.... I rebarreled the engine & installed whatever performance parts were available....It ran strong (trans = weak - sucked), & did pretty well cruising with the AH's..... I narrowed it down between the TR3B & a 1954 Corvette....But, the 'Vette's turned into swimming pools in the rain, so I went with the TR..... As a matter of fact, this might even be my old one, noting the CA plates.....Same color....
  14. Can't fault that....I do have a friend that has 2 Ford GT's & an Avanti in his garage.... I'd settle for a GT.... Have to be limber & medium built to fit the Cobra - especially the aluminum bodied ones - or oops - hand sized dent ....
  15. Well ..... None of the above - US market....But in those same years had an 1- 85 RX7 which was a very fun car to just get in & drive... 2- An 89 Dodge Shelby Daytona 3- 85 Dodge/Mits Montero/Raider SWB 4x4 that I tricked out the 2.6 & it was quick....Had these at the same time.... Unfortunately - my wife totaled the RX7 - then she waited a few years & then totaled the Shelby....I really should have divorced her after the RX & before the Shelby....
  16. I knew a lady from the Philippines that thought the moon in the US & the moon in the PI were 2 different moons....
  17. Does being mooned before shine any light on the topic.....????
  18. Check with your vet..... Most will board for 100B per night - or they might have a referral for you.... Cats are generally more difficult to board than dogs ....
  19. Airport Plaza Mall..... Pfizer, Moderna, & AstraZeneca were all offered when I went in for #3.....
  20. I've been with nothing but Asian women for decades.... It's kind of a almond brown blur = love every minute of it.....It was a very gentle, soft, and beautiful Japanese gal that initially swayed me & I never went back.... Let's just say meeting her very conservative Japanese father didn't go very well..... Thinking back about it now, the 3 preceding decades of (mostly) white women seem easier to recall/picture individually - however, there's a bunch that I'm sure I'm not recalling at all..... Unless they are stunning, white women don't even turn my head anymore....When young (me), they were a budding challenge.....
  21. I've used Fascino for the past year.....They offer this card for discounts & some are as high as 40%+.....There are several locations in CM....I use the one by Hang Dong market on 108..... They will order on request as needed..... There is a great pharmacy close to the iron bridge in a teak building....They carry about everything & the pharmacist is very knowledgeable.....It was the best I had found.... However.... Once I found Fascino it eliminated the need to go all the way into town from SPT.....
  22. I just get sms queries = block list.... We have Line & it seems every other week somebody tags along but never further contact.... Blocking is an easy remedy..... It's not crazy here like it was in the US.....I had a very long blocking list for unwanted solicitation calls.... Unfortunately, companies had unlimited numbers to fire away with.... It's a lot simpler here.....If not waiting for a delivery & it's not a number I've grouped in a category = it goes unanswered ... The sms's have been on an uptick recently ....
  23. Yeah - music as we appreciated is dead....Whether rock, love songs, ballads, or country; it's in decline or gone completely out of sight of the rear view mirror.... It's all club banging or rapping = which isn't music in my book.... I guess it goes with the great age of digital detachment & loss of any kind of people skills..... I actually find solace in a lot of the Thai music, dancers, and entertainers that my family watches/listens to - it still has personality - over the absolute train wreck nightmare most western mainstream "music" has become....
