What if she finds out?
I suggest you try that with your mates. I am sure they will all tell you what a great guy you are...

What if she finds out?
I think there is a huge difference if emotions are involved or not. It seems many guys, and I include my younger self in that group, just like to have sex with lots of sexy girls. Ram, bam, yeah, next one. There are often no, or few emotions involved. And because no emotions are involved, this activity does not really compete with the loving wife at home. Because with husband and wife there are emotion involved. If suddenly the time with the sexy girl also contains emotions, now then it gets difficult.

Denver's nut job mayor to head the resistance.
It seems you still have hope for that place.

Leaving a motorbike (scooter) parked without riding it for how long before problems arise?
No problem. If the battery is old or bad that could be a problem. Then just charge the battery or start the bike with a kick starter, if it has one. If you stop it for a long time, then after a while the gasoline is not good anymore. In that case just drain it and replace it with new gasoline when you want to use the bike again.

How much sin sod for 28 yo single mom of 2 Bangkok suburb (Rangsit)
Did you get a place in that top western university because of some DEI "qualifications"? It seems you are not the smartest cookie in the jar. Why would you want an old woman with kids? You should be able to find some nice 20 year old hottie.

Selling my condo in Chiang Mai, advise please
In principle I agree with you. But it seems there are often problems with the management. With some managements they are not allowed to give out any information about what is available. With some managements they give out information, but very selective. When I bought my condo I receive the information that this condo is available from the condominium manager. She introduced me to the owner, that took about a minute. Later the owner who sold it to me told me he has to pay 3% commission to the agent = condominium manager. She received her salary as the manager and then cash in private commission from the owner. I asked him why he pays the manager who works anyhow in that place. And he told me otherwise she would not mention his condo is for sale. And exactly that is what I found out about another condo in the same building. It was for sale and the management knew about that. But somehow, they forgot to mention this condo because the owner didn't want to give the management of the building any money to tell people that this is for sale. So, getting back to this thread. If you want that the condo management tells people that your place is for sale, then expect to pay them commission for that.

What's One Question You Always Wanted to Ask a Thai?
You definitely need a bigger bike or bigger elbows of something like that. 😉

What's One Question You Always Wanted to Ask a Thai?
IMHO often it does not make sense to ask any questions. Because many Thais will answer whatever they think we want to hear. Like: When will this be ready? Tomorrow, sure. They know already it won't be ready by tomorrow, but they think we want to hear good news, like it's ready by tomorrow. I guess the above also leads to the problem that many don't really know a "correct" answer. Because they never thought about giving a correct answer. They only give the answer the other wants to know.

Selling my condo in Chiang Mai, advise please
Sorry, no info about an agent, but a little general advice. From my experience buying in Bangkok, I was surprised how many owners don't even try to present their property in the best possible light. Often, they are dirty, damaged furniture, etc. It should be obvious, but I suggest make sure your property looks good and smells good (coffee ground helps). That will make your property already better than many others which people looked at.

Oh look! Jack Smith has filed a motion to drop charges against Pres. Elect Donald Trump!
Do you know the important part of above? It's the fact that Biden struggle with the decision. As father, he obviously wants to support his son, as president, he knows that he shouldn't use his position for personal reasons. For Trump this would be much easier. He pardons just everybody who he likes and who gives him something in return.

Overthinking
That reminds me of when I read an article here that there was a motorcycle accident somewhere. The article has often few details. And then there are always many comments from people who somehow know he was drunk, driving too fast, had no helmet, and many other details. It's just speculation, but some people just "think" they know the details. My opinion about that and your post above is that we should just accept that we often don't know. Sure, we can speculate a lot, but we still don't know. I.e. maybe someone tells us he couldn't call us because he lost his phone or the battery was empty. Is it true? Maybe, maybe not, we just don't know. If there are important reasons, i.e. maybe we think someone wants to get our money, then sure, we can and should analyze the situation in more detail. But if someone just didn't great us, forget about it. Maybe next time he will do it. There is no reason waste time worrying about it.

What if she finds out?
IMHO the problem is that with most people, and include myself, it is very difficult to rationally talk about sexual relationships. I.e. would I agree if my gf would ask me if she could have sex with other guys? NO! But would I really care if she would do it somewhere far away and I would never know about it? Sometimes ignorance is a bliss.

The US citizens vote for Trump, correct. And he should be their president. But that should have nothing to do with any legal cases. Only because someone will become president is no reason to ignore his crimes and other legal cases against him. But then, in your case, you seem to be not even able to acknowledge that there are lots of legal outstanding cases against him.

It's a banana republic. But then, I am sure that the people who voted for the criminal want it like that. I just wonder what all the other criminals think. Probably their crimes were not big enough to get the same treatement.

Best Mouse
Microsoft has a huge mouse. It is very ergonomic because it does not force your hand in a unnatural position. I used them for years (before I switched to above, previous post).

Best Mouse
Logitech Ergo - the have a couple of models. I use them since years and I really like them. Other options are here all lines up with criteria for you to choose. https://www.logitech.com/th-th/products/mice.html As far as I remember they cost something like 3000B, which is obviously expensive compared to other options. Personally, I think it's a good investment to spend 10B per day for a comfortable hassle-free mouse (and keyboard, etc.)

Why Do People Nitpick?
Did you ask her if she read it and what she learned about men?

Blinken mocked for hosting State Department 'cry sessions'
But then, better they talk than go out and buy a weapon and shoot all those others. And somehow it is almost funny when some Trump supporters suddenly like the idea about peaceful transfer of power.

Plan B Countries - Any Advice or Ideas ?
Not really. I think in some countries we feel soon comfortable, in others not so much. If we feel comfortable, then we should obviously do some research before we possibly move there. Many years I made holiday in Thailand, and I liked it, and I thought about moving to Thailand. And then I checked about visa regulations, work opportunities and all that. I find it strange when some people go to other countries to work there, but didn't even check how they can legally do that. Some with visa regulations for retirement, etc.

Plan B Countries - Any Advice or Ideas ?
Just visit some other countries for a few days or weeks and look how you feel. I.e. I visited a few neighboring countries. I kind of like it in Phnom Phen. Yangon was also not too bad a couple of years ago. I don't think I would like to live in Malaysia. Just try!

Marrying a Thai Wife: Overrated or Underrated?
If you fall in love with a Thai woman, then spend time with her. And some more time with her. You don't have to marry her. And try to open your eyes and look at reality and not your dream.

Montreal Erupts in Violent Anti-Israel Protests
Those protests should happen all the time all over the world - obviously preferred peacefully. Too many politicians are scared to speak out against the genocide in Gaza - because they fear the Israeli/Jewish lobbies. Jews were killed by the Nazis, and that was very bad. But that doesn't give Israel the right to do whatever they want. And obviously what they do only works because the USA supports them without restrictions. It's a sad world where some countries/politicians can do whatever they want, and for others there are right away big punishments if they only think about doing certain things. I.e. Isreal has nuclear weapons, and nobody cares. Iran maybe wants them and that is a huge issue.

Driving round on my Harley shouting 'Slava Ukraini' to passers by..
What do you do when you see Israelis? What did you say to Americans when they invaded Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries?
