    I was pretty average at school probably because my "poor uneducated" parents never made me do homework. I also cruised through my air force apprenticeship just doing what I had to because I didn't know better.

     

    Then went to uni on engineering degree and recieved best student of the year, then got Golden Key Honours Society for supposedly best 15% of academic performance on the planet. Then got Masters degree and retired rich at 52

     

    Now I'm posting on a forum that other posters continue to say my comments suck. I give up as to why so many people are supposedly now smarter than me?

     

    Could be achohol related...

     

    Life's a bit like a car race..some lay rubber and get out in front rapidly jostling for the lead, ramming into each other, crashing out, whilst others slowly work their way through the field and with a quick pit stop blitz the remainder, crossing the line with clean air.

    I'm 70 and have had doctors regularly urging me to get a colonoscopy done since I was 50. It is recommended by the AMA that you get one done every 5 years after age 50. A mate of mine got one done and was told he had polyps (which is very common indeed) and the surgeon recommended that he have a section of bowel removed, have a temporary stoma bag, and then after 3 months have his bowel reattached to his anus. He had to have a blood drive as US hospitals were short of blood at the time.

     

    Now the guy didn't even have cancerous lesions. I am sure the chances of dying from a birth field post surgical infection are far higher than dying of a potential cancer. 

     

    I have not had a colonoscopy, nor will I have one, and if I die for bowel cancer then so be it, you have too die of something don't you? 

    the silent..no pain growing polyps can get to a T4 stage where they grow through your intestinal wall into your abdominal cavity, blocking your bowel movement. I realize you are in denial, however modern medicine encourages us all to make use of the testing and procedures available. I would urge everyone to get checked.

    Temptation is everywhere in Thailand,

    from the countless bars that open their doors at 8am,

    to the lovely young girl dressed in a short skirt that grabs you by the arm as you walk down the street,

    it’s all around us.

     

    yet many seem to resist such things,

    or live so far in the boonies that they never come across it.

     

    when one lives in or frequents a tourist ghetto then it is very easy to slip into a life of alcoholism, drug abuse and casual sex.

    I am a victim of such vices,

    I find it extremely hard if not impossible to resist the temptations that come along with living life as an expat in Thailand.

     

    god help me.

     

    bob.

    walk another street..ignore the temptation...help yourself.

    From what I have read regarding the circumstanses of the sinking the most probable cause would be the rough sea hatches were not secured, possibly due to ventilation issues or lack of maintenance 

    i read too, an inference there was a group of non-Naval personnel being entertained onboard and the Captain was pushing the Corvette too hard into a banked turn in the storm and was swamped, foundered, then sank. Sorry i have no link or other info. to offer, just this hearsay rumour, for what its worth. I'm sure others heard same.

    RIP to those who perished.

  5. in a similar vein..i used to sell on Etsy until PPal tightened up, and for some months i wasn't able to find a trustworthy broker to use until Payoneer  have now allowed proceeds from sales in US to be transferred to a Thai Bank Account. I think there is an extra .06% to use them. Im waiting to see how it works as i just had a small sale. Maybe worth a try OP. Good luck.
