If you could stay 50 forever enjoying stage 1 or 55 forever enjoying stage 2 which would you choose?

A lovely post and what an interesting and unique perspective you must have on Thailand. Have you talked about the changes you alluded to in other threads on here or elsewhere?

How does the burning season affect your lung condition?

Really amazed by all the birds visiting your place. Are you incredibly lucky or is there some logical reason like a good food source attracting so many species? Or is it just the way it is in your part of Thailand?

Every year "professionals" predict house prices and stock markets and get it woefully wrong. Yet we are ment to trust climate predictions as if they're meaningful.

Accept yourself. Pointless to try to create a new desire. Don't scimp on yourself either. If there's something you want, get it. If the emergency fund never gets used then it's because there was no emergency. Feel blessed. Make a will where your favourite charity benefits from your good fortune at not needing expensive surgery/care home. Relax about dying with money. Don't think of it as unspent, think of it as not needed.

My mom literally ran out of money and in her 70's lives quite happily in a house paid for by the UK government. Warm house always, kitchen always full of good food, runs a car, has 2 dogs always going to the vet. Various digital subscriptions. I guess you're not from the UK. Lol

After the Guinness what do you order, presuming you stay?

As I age I notice a gradual decline in what I can drink. Every 5 years one less bottle. 58 soon and recently noticed another reduction to two small Leo. A third is 50/50 now on being a regret.

Very cool. Can you explain in terms an idiot could understand how you with an image in one location can send it to another? I presume it's laptop via antenna to laptop right?

You think in this age a woman walking into a police station accusing any man of tape is asked for "substantial evidence?"

Why do you assume he's guilty?

Back in the day I never saw a female interviewer or attendant that didn't look like she wanted to blow him. Weinstein abused his position Brand just cashed in.

Great post. I would add, posting costs nothing, at least financially and don't underestimate the number of old guys who don't want/can't spend money. Also hard wired for connection which can't be had thru Google translate many an expat have not nearly enough connections here. Turning to social media to fill this hole so often brings out the frustration that years of under nourishment has produced.

"sorry mate*, I can't meet you tonight I'm posting on AN" An actual great friend you like Is something never said by anyone, ever.

That's impressive. I've had many women I considered a "safe bet" and never caught anything. I had sex three times with three different women I thought of as dodgy and caught three different diseases. One of which hundred years ago would have killed me.

Your post misses out the necessary condom use which makes sex rubbish for me. It misses out the fakeness of any emotion expressed. I've worked in the service sector and my fake smile convinced everyone I wasn't bored stupid. It misses out the hush hush moral component. Do you really want to bribe someone to have sex with you? Don't we all aspire to be compassionate humans living by the rules of loving kindness? I'd feel pretty bad if I found out my daughter was having sex with old men for money. There's a reason for that feeling.

Wow, have you posted any reflections since you returned? If not, pls do so 🙂

Everybody is prone to exaggeration of their past.

So, for sure she's on her phone all day there too.

When she's with UK how much does she use her phone to chat with family back in Thailand? That's what I'd be comparing.

It wasn't even his plate.

Childless helps. Reasonable looks helps. Social skills help. Intellectual curiosity helps. Emotional resilience helps. With the above very little money is needed. Fu money got for less than a UK state pension even.

Mental decline is a man living in a new country caring about what happens in a place 10,000km away. All, I mean, all the information you have about trump have come out of a screen.
