I live in Chiang Mai and stay busy enough with duplicate bridge a couple times a week and playing in two pool leagues. Mind you this is NOT competitive level stuff. In a motorcycle group that goes on regular outings. I also teach math eight hours a week to Myanmar high school refugee students. That led to being asked to join Rotary to assist in a scholarship program they run. I did zero of those things before I retired. Whatever you like to do, or think you want to try, there is a Facebook group for it, no matter where you live. I actually think there's more opportunity here to stay busy than in the US, but to each his own.

Ummm... you should realize she, or he, is probably just using this as a jump-off to becoming an influencer, right? Updates, future dates, any and all drama will be included. Real or imaginary, people will be drawn in to it.

People hate Trump because he is a disrupter, at the highest level. I worked in corporate for many years and almost all successful corporations have gone through major disruptions at some point. No, the Federal government is not a corporation, but it has grown fat and lazy and sorely in need or re-inventing. Many people hate change, and therefore hate Trump, but without it I think our government was in a slow death spiral. Yes, the cure may be painful in the short-term, but better to get it out of the way now.

Take a thousand people (idiots), add unlimited booze and drugs, and well....hardly unexpected.

"The International Union of Sex Workers (IUSW)".... Regardless of who it is, I also look at polls done by special interest groups as highly suspect. These numbers look like something I would come up with given a couple hours on the internet and a spreadsheet.

Keep in mind, the cataract surgery cost has two parts: the surgery and the lens. The lens can be as much as or double the cost of the surgery.

They have the breakfast buffet at Duke's twice a month now I believe. Went six years ago in the first month or two of living here and met a guy and his Thai wife I've been good friends with ever since. You never know....

I wonder if alcohol played any part in that plan?

I live in Chiang Mai and know several students at Chiang Mai University. CMU is the 3rd highest rated school in Thailand and has several international programs, taught in English. An international nursing or engineering degree can get you out of Thailand and into a much higher paying job in the West.
