To quote Chuck Berry.... Drop the coin right into the slot....

Doubtful, given the competition...

Planning on the US the last 6 months of the year..... Of course, we also were for the last 2 years..... ....The only certain thing is the uncertainty....

Practice, practice, practice...

Always have had a car & cannot see an upside to not having one.... I like having the armor around me + the A/C is a must, along with not breathing everyone else's diesel/exhaust fumes, the heat and rain..... We have 2 cars, an SUV, and a small 4 door sedan.... We do not have a motorcycle, although our uni daughter does.... The only time we hire a taxi is to & from an airport.... The upkeep and operational cost of owning one is minimal compared to the inconvenience of not having one.... I'm not big on trading armor for mobility, either as a driver or passenger (especially as a passenger).....

Typically for me that could happen within a "broad" inner circle (sports competition their wives would too).... Competing over the years kind of earned that comraderie.... In the OP's example it would be an unwanted & unwelcome gesture beyond a handshake.... Especially in a bar/tavern/restaurant scene.... That's before the Covid pandemic changed all the rules.....

One thing that goes along with the looks is the feminine soft feel, aura, & appeal of a Thai woman.... Not to be overlooked/dismissed as weak - they are like ants in that regard = small, but mighty.... I've found Japanese women to be that way also, but to a lesser degree....

Not a random google pic.... Well - at the risk of anybody's comments or ire - this little Thai Eskimo & friend belong to me....Not the "typical" "Thai" face - but she does me just fine for being at that dreaded 50th year mark.... She's spun men around on 3 continents getting a second look or hoping for recognition..... Happily, our daughters didn't fall too far from the tree either..... Not a bad in house bevy to be around.... 

Chances are there's a 7/11 within reach.... That's where I'd center the "McDonalds" blame game....Those 5 baht goodies readily available for young kids right up through the now conditioned, almost daily, coffee/coke & snack stop....

So it acts as a reservoir...Is it a standard tank that has been buried? Or a cement cistern....

2 Pfizer = booster after 6 months...

Our water supply/system/district has been off for one day a week over the past few weeks & were notified today it will be again tomorrow.... TIT - it's pretty much how it is....We have a tank and it really hasn't been an issue since we installed the pump and tank.... We do have well water so my wife's garden will be attended to.... Want to see an angry Thai wife = accidentally step on one of my wife's plants....

Not when they look like two inverted soup bowls.... That's a guy....

Something probably popped overnight.... At least they are on it.....

Yes - some lovely girls for sure, but nowhere near the beauty ratio as here.... They age badly, are intensely jealous, & always seem to have a sweaty sheen about them....Possibly diet related.... They're also deeply locked into catholicism + do not offer the ready smiles that Thai people do....

I miss not be able to travel & see places such as this for the last couple of years..... It's been a long holding pattern ....

Nice rig - that would've worked here too.... Wish they had them here (but basically too much truck for TH)....

Had never been to Thailand at that time....Flew in & out of SFO United Airlines via Frankfurt.... And, obtained the visa as India required.... The car dropped us at the airport with just enough time to check in....Many people were unhappy with the tarrif....Some discarding stuff, others shipping separately - which we didn't have time to do....The airport had souvenir shops selling a lot of heavy brass/metal bells & trinkets..... Fortunately, we didn't add any weight getting any....We left with the exact same luggage weight we arrived with... You keep telling me where I was & where I flew to, what hospital; and to no one's surprise = wrong on all counts..... Find someplace else to spout your misguided nonsense....

This was in Chennai & everything as stated = happened.... Flew in from the states...Received the medical tourist visa from their office in SF as per their instructions.... About 2007...

You have to get a medical visa for entrance to India... If you think these hospitals are crowded you're in for a huge awakening at the sea of humanity waiting to be seen in the hospitals there - literally 100's & 100's.... Incredible sight.... I had opted to have a procedure done there - gall bladder... Never again would I opt to go to India, especially after also having surgery here & able to compare services & facilities - hip done here... Also beware you may/will be scammed at the airport on the flight out....We flew in with the allowable 50# limit....Flying out you are allowed 40# & taxed on the overage = cost me $400.00 "tax/surcharge/tariff" to take the exact same weight of luggage out that we flew in with ... Horrible place - dead bodies on sidewalks stripped of their clothes...Robbed after death....NO respect for personal space....Traffic that makes the drivers here look good/sane .. .. Misery & dirty everywhere you look....

On her knees?

30 oz Yeti - left handed....

Especially without make up....

My wife and I were shopping at a Tesco/Lotus a few years back, right after the King passed ... I wandered around the store and ducked into Decathlon sports.... I came out to find my wife, and there they were....Everywhere I looked, close to matching height, long black hair, and all dressed in black = seemed like 100's.... I cross walked the store a few times trying to find her.... I was just walking out when my phone rang = she was calling from the car....She had given up trying to find me & had gone through checkout to the car.... That day - yes they all looked the same..... But, having been here many a year, they all don't look the same when the clothes come off....Delightfully so....

She's had/built on them for years.... She fiercely protects them.... She's been asked, but absolutely will not loan any out..... They're kept in a room that's laid out as a library, gym, wardrobe, & mini theater.... There's a nice little nook in there to hide away quietly and read....She also reads books electronically..... Our youngest daughter also is building her own library.....A book is usually one first things she buys when she gets a little jingle in her purse.... Her older sister, nope....
