When Do You Throw in the towel?
I noticed when we get old our bodies don't recover fast and for some reason my mind tells me not to bother walking to the gym BUT...when I get therein feel much better AFTER, even if I just walk on the treadmill for 20 minutes no weights I still feel better Sometimes I have to FORCE myself to go exercise, I'm doing boxing which is very hard , cardio wise that I had to stop going to the gym as much to lift weights,it's either one or the other ! Even with testereone ( which I had to cut down because of high blood pressure) my recovery is still not great. I noticed with all guys my age despite training that BELLY is still there !

When Do You Throw in the towel?
In some ways I agree But I believe Slow down don't STOP,just slow it down Recently in was going to gym everyday AND started boxing training 3 times a week The boxing training was harder than the gym , I thought I have to cut down on one so only done weights twice a week Well last week my body was so tired I stopped everything for 3 days , BUT ....my body was tired ....but I knew if I gave up my body would be much worse ..so I reluctantly went to the gym and just done light treadmill walking Don't GIVE UP completely!!!! I'm going to boxing training more ....I can't do both weights in gym AND boxing training, my body won't let me it's too old . I will only be able to do weights once or twice a week now and try to do more cardio No alcohol or smoking and more sleep , don't throw on the towel just try to RECOVER more

Where was you 20 years ago
Bumped into a old work colleague yesterday that I hadn't seen since April 2004 And we still continued our conversation like it was yesterday,in fact there was no greeting just a conversation about work like we hadn't been gone for 20 years! Time has passed very quick . I was shocked when he said....its been 20 years !! Where was you in 2004? What country? What was you doing ? How has your life changed since 2004? Who were the famous deaths in 2004? The year 2004

Dentist Qualifications in Pattaya
I'm just asking for a friend of mine but what are the qualifications for dentists in Pattaya? He was asking as he said that one can do a 1 year dental technician course apparently in Australia and be a dentist in Thailand Im just trying to find out for him as we don't want to go to unqualified dentists I remember years ago not so much now ,but remember the Pharmacies in Pattaya ,they were run by NON pharmacists ,I think ,I don't know but was that stopped???

Thais love Thai still?
There used to be common talk on this forum 20 years how Thai people would stick together etc I'm finding myself this Generation of young Thais seem to be different and more selfish Let's look at the recent murder in Pattaya of a Grab/Bolt taxi driver by a young Thai Has this young generation of Thais changed ?

Bolt - Work as a driver
When I was in Pattaya last October I jumped into a bolt /grab car in Jomtien, the driver was an older Thai in his 50's As he asked me where I was going I picked up a Australian accent. I was right he had been living in Australia for 25 years He told me he was on a 8 week holiday with his Australian male partner and was living in Australia working as a public servant in Melbourne He decided to drive his neighbours car to get away from his boyfriend for awhile He told me he wasn't really driving for the money but picked up around 2,000 baht a day after expenses he told me including tips The thing is ,great english skills will get you tips , he picked up a lot of farang drunks and was able to joke and laugh with them I think working the Friday night shift say 5pm to 5am 12 hours you possibly could get 4-5k if you worked it and with tips etc but you will be picking up drunks so better to have a good attitude also dangerous work as you see the Grab driver murdered in Pattaya last week

Getting OaP with Super
I'm wondering if it's worth working and salary sacrificing into Super and then retiring at say 64 with a million dollars Problem with that is you won't get the OAP pension at 67 ,am I correct? If that's the case ,is it worth salary sacrificing,saving into your super ? I'm thinking far better to retire at 60 take what you have in your Super and spend it ,but I'm thinking the government is not that stupid One guy at my work tells me is retiring at 66 with over a million dollars and will tell Centrelink he lost it at the casino so he can get the OAP I'm thinking better to retire at 60 with $600,000 live in Thailand on $40,000 a year come back at 67 for the OAP but...still won't get it because saved too much Super I believe???
