I retired 20 yrs ago from my Teamster Truck driving career and went into making Jewelry with my now ex wife! We sold it at Craft fairs ,Private Corporate employee events,festivals throughout New England . Wow what a lucrative racket that was.Bought sports cars & a house in Aruba & Massachusetts and invested in properties ,all from revenue of that business. I learned a lot about semi precious stones , even went on mining excursions with the Mineral club . Like everything in life it stopped when we divorced ! I did it on my own until I met my current wife . I had to sell everything and split it 50/50 with the ex . I have SS & a Teamster pension and savings from the assets we split. We rented for 8 years here while looking for a ideal opportunity to build a house. It’s been 5 years now living in that house , the only regret are the small dogs that moved in next to us. My wife is 22 years younger and what seems like everyday she says Thank You to love me.She’s my best friend. We went to the States last year to visit my adult children in California.Awesome time. I tried to get my Thai step daughter a b1/b2 tourist visa but was denied , very disappointing. Now we go on holiday down to the South of Thailand ,every year. I play guitar , use to exercise for many years,stopped temporarily , cook & bake dessert, putt around the garden , cut the grass, shopping 3 or 4 times a week . Go to Udon Thaini to visit my step daughter on weekends once a month. Life is good.

Tucker Carlson: Putin takes charge as TV host gives free rein to Kremlin
riclag replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I like the fact that after the Socialists European Union supposedly threatened ,to sanction TC passage, V. Orban came to TC’s aid. Now if George Stepinopolis from ABC interviewed him it would be less controversial. Note :EU denied any such sanction. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/member-of-e-u-parliament-threatens-sanctions-against-tucker-carlson-over-putin-interview/ -
Thai soldier rapes his stepdaughter, mother forgives rapist
riclag replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
I love my step daughters, like they were my own! Breaks my heart to hear this. The part about the family so dependent on the rapist for financial necessities is extremely sad . Brings me back to my childhood days living with a extremely abusive alcoholic father and a enabler mother ! -

Democrats Rally Behind Biden Amid Report on Age Concerns
riclag replied to Social Media's topic in World News
He and his cue card people schedule a press briefing on Hur’s findings , about being elderly and memory loss. He goes off cuff and rants about his son and then he furthered his Periled Presidency by saying, “In response to a question about progress toward a cease-fire in Gaza, Biden expressed clear but measured concern, saying Israel’s response to Hamas was “over the top.” But that message was followed by an embarrassing gaffe, referring to the president of Egypt, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, as the leader of Mexico. The slip appeared to undermine Biden’s defense of his own mental faculties”. https://thehill.com/homenews/4458155-white-house-spokesperson-briefs-press-after-report-on-biden-memory-watch-live/ -

Learning! @Yellowtail can teach it .The member is a forum expert , on the radicals , same as you.imop Thanks to members, like both of you! Imop -
Good comment ! The radical left throughout, are hell bent on the dynamics of free speech censorship ! Intolerant to many who have opposing opinions to theirs! Debate and diplomacy with Putin is absent because of the left and the war mongers in each party. imop

Totally agree ! TC is a legend in his time, a mini Rush , Libertarian comes to mind. A government Transparency Activist and anti war, anti corruption, anti censorship, supporter who fed up with the Legacy media apparatus. He has many supporters ! Hes hated by the Marxist, Communist, Socialists around the world. imop

Presidency in Peril ! The mixed up ,bobbled up, shook up biden, his administration and his Marxist supporters are going down . “Despite a growing economy and little opposition for his party’s nomination, President Joe Biden confronts a dissatisfied electorate and a challenging political climate nine months before he faces re-election, according to a new national NBC News poll. Biden trails GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump on major policy and personal comparisons, including by more than 20 points on which candidate would better handle the economy. And Biden’s deficit versus Trump on handling immigration and the border is greater than 30 points. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/poll-biden-trump-economy-presidential-race-rcna136834 “Biden year-end rating worst of modern-day presidents seeking reelection at this point: Gallup”! Nobody comes from a 37-39 % approval rating to win a Presidency, nobody. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4373344-biden-year-end-rating-worst-modern-day-presidents-seeking-reelection-gallup/

Yes ,mobility is a concern & the heat! All inclusive resort would be the way to go if they desire a fling! I have mutual friends with the young lady in our house ! She suggested we go to their villa to visit. A beautiful residence with a swimming pool but once you get out of the pool its deathly hot sitting on the veranda. The husband doesn’t enjoy AC. So when its hot,I usually decline to go visit. Home sweet home when the rats aren’t yapping.

Id love to get a woman barber up here, in Sakon. You know the kind ! Nails, Shower, massage, shave, shampoo , hair cut. The total package I think the young lady in my house would enjoy similar.
