  1. For me, I reckon my living room with a year's supply of M&M's, beer and chips will do. But I've no doubt some of you gentlemen are up for superior versions of my own version of tailgating.

    Will you be watching it at home or rolling out into the early hours, still buzzed and ready to shout at the tube with a flock of fellow diehards?

  2. ... Many 'good' women are not good women and many bar girls are angels. I have said it before and will say it again... The best human being I met in my life was a prostitute. ...

    I agree with you there are always exception to the rules.

    However, I still will not forget the night when the "entertainment girl" answered her cell phone and rushed to the bathroom and told me to be quite. I heard her say things like: "I love you", "I am good girl" etc. She told me later she is engaged to marry and will fly to Europe next month!

    I have dated a number of straight girls, and I can tell you first hand nothing like the bar-girl cell phone has happened with them. However, I have a good friend that lives in Thailand. He tells me his bar-girls have 'often' been talking to their husband or fiancée on the cell phone while in the middle of <deleted>..ing!!! I have never seen or heard this with straight girls.

    However, we all milk our own cows - and I think some men have shutters on their eyes. You are welcome to marry a bar-girl. It is your life - not mine.

    Well, I was dating a non-bar girl at one time who was a real,... shall we say, interesting case. She would drop by my place, we had fun for the night adn she would head off to work in the morning. It was after a few pleasurable weeks of this I found out she was engaged to marry some poor British bloke who surely thought she was chaste.

    Hey, I didn't complain and she was always a classy lady to be around in public as well. But her desires got the better of her, or I got the better of her, take your pick. She sure as heck wasn't working at a bar when I met her, so unless it was something in her past, she was an animal of desire, as are we all at times, and engaged or not, she was going to satisfy her hungers.

    Ultimately, her visa came through and I am sure she is happily living life in the UK. Good on her.

  3. I just didn't like the damned thing. Boring, pretentious. End of the day, movies from author's books are usually more interesting than movies about the author. That is usually anyway.

    Just to clarify, my two minutes statement is a bit harsh. It was more like thirty minutes. After that, I couldn't take anymore.

  4. Golf! Hacked away since I was in college and haven't gotten much better, but I still enjoy the day. Gotta say though, Pat has a point about a lot fo the folks that take it up after they get here, at least teh ones that seem to do it for business. Not a one I've talked to seems to really enjoy it and they bad mouth all the other people playing instead of just enjoying the day. Thread's not totally invalid as it were.

  5. Here is the timeline for me. What I don't mention here is that when I submitted the I-129F, there was about 180 day backlog at the California Service Center. But somehow, while I was waiting, they went through 3 months of backlog in two weeks.

    The center to which your case is sent is mattering less, since the backed up regional centers are now sending cases to other (less backed up) centers for processing.

    I had the misfortune of getting married in Thailand, which means that my I-129f is processed by the national benefits center, which is NOT sending cases to other centers. They received my I-129f on Aug 4, but we are not expecting action until January...

    Interested in your comment "I had the misfortune of getting married in Thailand". Can you enlighten me a bit more on that? I assume you mean that you married the same girl here but now wish you had waited and married her in the USA instead? Where can I get more information on the pros and cons of marrying a future wife here or waiting and doing the fiancee visa and getting married in USA. Will it affect her eventually getting a USA passport or entry sooner to the USA for visits? I have heard so many different stories. Thanks for any and all input.

    In other thread it seemed you were married but now see you are just planning. In that case marriage and a tourist visa are not likely without more than a retirement visa bond to Thailand. But if you can prove that you both plan to stay in Thailand by other factors it might fly without some history together here.

    Will let other posters give specific reasons for saying marriage was a mistake but in general the background/visa process for fiancee has been faster than for marriage. There is another process in use now and do not believe there is usually much difference these days but it is very new. If you plan to live in Thailand I would not even consider fiancee visa.

    yes we plan to live here, but would like to be able to visit my parents, who are getting older with some health issues and kids from earlier marriage a couple of times each year for 2-4 weeks each year going forward....nothing perminant going forward for now back in the usa....

    Believe I would wait six months or so after marriage to help prove you are not trying to cut down the visa wait period but do not believe there is any fixed rule. The more proof you can provide of a home here, own car, long term lease, etc the better. Once she makes a trip and returns it should be no problem - it's the first time that can be a bear.

    Spot on Lop. First time for my wife was a hassle. Since then, treated swimmingly she is.

    Look, lean on your elected representatives if you must for support. Its part of their job and though a civil servant (Consular Officer) is by no means required to act any more favorably, a nice letter tucked into the packet signed by someone with a Capital Hill address never hurts.

    We included letters of support from preachers, state representatives and congressmen as well as the things from here.

    Best of luck.

  6. Seeing the family

    Seeing my father smile whilst playing with 'Lil Burrito

    A long Sunday afternoon or two watching football with the gang, rather than the roosters.

    Stuffing burritos, enchiladas and all the Mexican grub down I can handle :o

    Seeing my wife enjoy the change of weather from hot to at least cool if not downright cold.

    Friends

  7. Myself, the missus and 'Lil Burrito will be stateside enjoying the love and warmth of my family there. It will be an exceptionally great time. Looking forward to it very much indeed.

  8. Lord help us.

    No wonder Thais, on the whole, think of foreigners in Thailand as just a bunch of stupid <deleted>. drunken misfits, and all around losers. Guys like this sure make their point for them, don't they?

    This idiot reminds me, yet again, why I am so frequently embarrassed to be a foreigner in this country.

    Speak for yourself not thais, bitch. :D It's because of people like me that

    contribute to thai economy. What's the F@&K you have done for Thais? :o

    Meantime I got hundreds of thai friends who loves me to the death.

    Btw talking about Stupidest farangs lying on sidewalk in sukhmvit,

    Think about your sons for a moment that hope not to end up in love

    with a big time whore in sukhumvit with his high so called expensive

    explosive atomic eductions

    EVERYTHING COMES TO AN END IN SUKHUMVIT FOR A BITCH. :D

    I will give you the benefit of the doubt and just assume you are not referring to 'Lil Burrito there, but some phantom piglet that doesn't exist.

    As for my part, right subject, right forum for those of us interested. Obviously, you are not in that group.

  9. Excuse me for posting in your bar territory, <deleted>. However, seems to me the heading at the top of the page includes the idea of EX-PAT life. Well, any expat's child's education might just possibly fall under that idea.

    I was and still am seeking the opinions of a broader crowd, hence I didn't DUMP IT into a section for a few specific professionals.

    Go get drunk and lie on sidewalk somewhere. When I see you doing that, then I'll start a thread about Stupidest Farangs on Sukhumvit.

  10. I'd definately say it's a toss up between Pattana or ISB, depending on where you're from. Silly poll.

    P!ss off! I made the poll because I don't know, not because I do. Duh! If you know the riight institutions and know which ones are the hustlers, I'm here to listen and read.

    I made the list based on limited knowledge and thought I inferred as much.

    If you don't want to help, fart off and go make your highly superior poll.

    Jackass!!

  11. Looking into the not to distant future, Little Burrito is going to need some schooling unless I want to put him on permanent payroll. Since I don't think that's a healthy option, I'm starting to explore the matter.

    I've got my general ideas of a few places from various conversations, but given the amount of posters on here, I'm always willing to look at other input when offered. Giving Bangkok Proper, meaning, not on the Thonburi side of the river, I'm pretty open to getting the little dude as good an education as I can.

    I'm sure some of you folks have experiences and reasons for opinions. I thought I would be so humble as to ask.
