  1. No I am not saying O Henry was humbug However I thinkyou need to re read teh story especially the last part. The meaning is lost on you. Christmas is a time for Christians to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We usually do that for a couple of hours in church. It is a time to remember that this man was born to spread the word of God and possibly ALLAH. Buddhists believe that Bhudda did this as well. It is a time for families to get together and enjoy a meal as best they can afford. Much the same as people do at Chinese New year, Ramadan, and Hannaka. It is also a time for children. To me, as a child, there was nothing more enjoyable than waking up and going out to see what was under the tree that Santa, my parents, and my grandmother had bought me. Then after opening all the presents heading out to play hockey with my friends using the new sticks [ucks and skates that we usually got. Talking about the hauls we made out with. As an adult Christmas was always abut giving to others. The look on a family when we would drop off a Christmas hamper with a turkey and stuff so that a deserving family would have a great Christmas. As a parent, it was the look on my daughter's face when she opened her presents and found things that she thought she would not get. Then going to her grandparents to celebrate Christmas with her aunts uncle, and cousins, Here in Thailand, it is the looks that I got and the enjoyment that kids had when they woke up and found a present on the fence. The looks were not in anger but in joy, and they were trying to convince me to admit that I did it. To celebrate Christmas is easy. It shouldn't matter the price of the gift but that they gift was given and he meaning behind it. For many there are reasons that Christmas may not be as bright BUT I will guarantee that if you look at the good in people you will see the blessing of christmas
  2. Let me guess Mary was a trannny that got raped and had a baby that was gay and of the negro persusaion and mis understood. Why do these loons come out and WHy is AN giving them space on here
  3. The challenge to making any changes like that is money. The powers that be would have to build brand new facilities for prisoners, which would take up more land space. There is no land available to build or renovate the IDC. Then again, the only people that go there are those that serve it, and they want out of the country ASAP. Imagine if they gave 3 squares and a cot. I think a lot of people would want to stay there permanently versus going back to their native country penny and homeless. Imagine 3 hots and a cot versus living on the streets in the UK. Which would you choose? Concerning the prisons again, maybe they could cut down the numbers, but again, these are not supposed to be country clubs. To me the harsher the penalties the more of a deterrent. Land and what to do with prisoners while renovating is a huge issue. Let's sort out the easy spots first and get the police precincts in order. Then if some country wants to give the Thai people money they can build a bright shiny new prison.
  4. Was the booze free if not AIr India is quite happy to run out of booze.
  5. I was wondering how many of these Rocket scientists they interviewed make 30K The ideal wife is easy Has a million-dollar inheritance Cooks like a Cordon bleu chef The perfect NANY Perfectionist housekeeper Dresses like a model Has a body that won't quit Fully trained high-end hooker in bed Only problem after finding her and having the parts to keep her happy lol
  6. The one thing you have to give the DNC credit for is that when they need to vote together, they do so. They fight it out beforehand but come to vote as organized units in the room.dd party, and even the squad falls in line. The GOP is a clown show, with this supposed GOP group crewing everything up and not listening to the adults in the room and they guy that got them elected. The solution is to put one fo the clowns in charge and see how life is really.
  7. my favorite xmas monologue
  8. I have been diabetic for more than 20 years. I take care of myself through diet. See a doctor every 3 months, get my meds, and keep going. I am still able to gout and have a couple of beers, eat out in restaurants, and have a good time. I have to limit myself. I love cake ice cream and pizza but they are now off my diet as the sugar levels are too high for me. Getting a meter is one thing, but unless you know how to use it and what you need to do for your sugar levels, it is just like giving a 5-year-old a Ferrari. Get your ass to a hospital and see a doctor. There are so many Thais with Diabetes that every doctor knows what to do. Also, the sooner you go, the better. Diabetes can mess up a lot of parts of the body, and yes, people go blind or lose their feet, Which is not only a pain but also a huge financial issue.
  9. Just looking at ESPN, I got to thinking if the Thai government wants to add tourists, they should build for the Champions Cup in Cricket. I know that to the people of N.A. it is not popular but it is in this i of the world and would draw tourists for the event.
  10. Don't worry, MOMY JILL will hold his hand. What will be interesting is if he thinks it is his inauguration Don't expect Kamala she is too busy teaching public speaking LOL.
  11. LOL but would you call some of the dialects in the UK as English LOL Definitely not Kings English. ll me this is a TROLL POST No homecoming here could be that naive to put a post like this together and still think we are going to take it seriously
  12. LOL It isn't that they can't see you coming, BOB it is they don't want you to see them LOL I heard a rumour that the last time you were in NANA the girls all stampeded OUT of the bar LOL
  13. If you flaunt your wealth here you are only asking for trouble. Better to spend when you need to. I tip well and look after staff. They know I am farang and have money. How much they do not know and that is the way it should be even my other half is unsure how rich or poor I am.
  14. The big expense that has to be watched in entertainment. Sitting in an apartment can only last so long. The allure of the lights and things will attract you. You don't have to drink alcohol in bars but the ladies charge the same amount. How old are you also matters. WhT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH YOUR DAYS.
  15. Check out soi 11 lots of clubs there some rock mostly DJ
  16. The other 2 will be up to their home countries to make a deal with the Thais. Would suggest they do about 7 here and then get deported.
  17. No will to do so and people ignore them anyway. Here is a novel idea: put a bounty on all people riding bikes without helmets. For every ticket written and paid, the RTP person who writes it gets 20 baht. The person writing the most tickets in each province gets 10K Divide bangkok into quarters so there are more cops looking.
  18. He may have also thought that if he moved to the side, he would be ok. After living on a main railway and seeing many deaths, people do not realize that trains will suck you in if you are too close. It is not a pretty sight but he was not standing in front of the train if they could do a visual of the body. She may have identified him by the bike and other things.
  19. Good luck with that. Remember teh senate? Everyone thought it would be better lol Until they get a real chance to redo the constitution, there are always going to be issues.
  20. They arenot powerless to make a decision they are powerless to subpeona a person. That could be a good thing. It means that Thaksin can have the power to come in and speak or not. If he does speak then he can be asked a lot of questins that he probably would not like answered as well as a look at his books. If the ECC sees smoke they can then boot it up to the NACC for them to make the next call. That would tie in BIG TIME WITH THE PAPERWORK THAT WAS JUST SUBMITTED and would not be a good look for PTP or Thaksin. It is possible that the NACC could disband PTP bar Thaksin and his family from any involvement in politics (including money)
  21. I always use experts. That way, I can save as much money as possible and ensure that I am doing it right. Also, having someone navigate things for me is never a bad thing here, so I do not miss anything in translation. LOL
  22. So the military party is dead. We are now back to a 3 party system with many hangers-on. PP PTP BJT This will get interesting.
  23. The headline should not be tht he is being investigated the headline shuld be the people signing onto the charge. You have 2 people that, for the longest time, were diametrically opposed to each other, along with the money behind one of the other parties. You can be sure that if they are involved, the i's have been crossed and the T's crossed, and there is enough information and proof to make these charges stick. Thisis one that the NACC can not just slide under the table. Thaksin and teh PTO may be in trouble now.
