Madam just called me from her family NYE party.

 

Someone asked my grand-daughter if she wanted a goat! It would help keep the grass in check!

 

"Lady or gentleman" says I, "gentleman", "no thanks ..."

 

I expect the beast to be in the garden tomorrow!

 

 

 

Butt. Butt. Poo. Happy New Year

The biggest problem is nobody wants to go with the flow. They all want to go at their own speed anywhere from 30 kmh to 130 kmh.  So you are always having to pass somebody or have someone on your tail waiting for a chance to pass you. So driving here is not a relaxing experience you are always breaking or accelerating watching all three mirrors all the time.

It's the 'Me First' syndrome.

We have a 4 way stop near our townhouse here in Muang Thong Thani, and multiple 2 way Stop signs, nobody stops for the Stop Signs, NOBODY! They could write a thousand tickets an hour here, but they don't, that's with a huge police facility here right across from Impact Arena. No patrols, and whenever I do see the police, you guessed it, they blow right through the stop signs and crosswalks too. The Thai brain is wired for law-breaking, they just don't care about safety, even their own. I have lost count at how many times drivers have tried to run my daughter and I over in crosswalks near her school. I hate this country and it's people with a passion, mainly because of the "Culture" that everyone else can't wait to come see and enjoy. 

Now now, mother. Settle down and take your medicine

Age-old question.

 

Do you have a clue?

 

What are we living for, anyway?

 

Are you able to put it into words?

 

What are we living for....

 

 

That is the question.

 

Regards,...

 

 

To be, or not to be? That is the question.

If you don't work in Thailand you don't paid. Several years ago a worker at one of Thailand's biggest companies tried to organise a union and was murdered.

If you don't work  you don't get paid applies to most countries methinks. Regarding forming unions, I think this also applies to many countries.

Passive resistance - as in withdrawing labour? If they do that they don't get paid. Otherwise, passive resistance in what form, I wonder? I'm curious, because you might be on to something, Long shot, but......

 

As for 'not your country' - you've been here longer than about half the Thai population. And I've been here getting on for 30. A pity we still don't have a voice, isn't it. Not that would count anyway, same as the locals.

They don't get paid when they go out on the streets protesting and get put down and arrested by the army. What could the authorities do if transport, factory and government office workers downed tools? Just surmising.

They weren't pulled. They gave up the ghost after nearly ninety years of work. They beat me to it.

Did a dentist tell you to pull that tooth? If yes, did you get a second opinion?

 

I have saved two molars so far by going to a better dentist, after being recommended to pull the tooth with no other options! They were not low end facilities.

 

All the teeth needed was root canal work, the other an involved re-doing of an old root canal.

 

Without saving those teeth I would be now be missing primary molars on both lower sides, and needing implants or bridges on both sides.

 

Just a heads up to get a second opinion if you ever get told to get an extraction.

At 90 is it worth it?

I have found only one available here, and most Pharmacies sell it. Its thick and pink like bubble gum.

I find my upper denture uncomfortable to wear now, I just eat food I can gum to death 

 

It works for half a day. But thanks.
