Reading is obviously not one of your skills.

We all view events through a different lens. IMO yours is rose-colored. Trump is Mr. Clean? Tell that to the women he has molested, and the contractors he has cheated.

The OP is satirizing Bob/bignok etc.

Historians mark the fall of the Roman Empire as beginning with the accession of Commodus as Caesar. IMO it's highly likely historians will be using Trump as the marker for the same fall. Quote: Commodus was an unpopular and erratic ruler who focused on personal pleasures rather than governing. His actions weakened the empire, but they didn't cause its immediate collapse. Sound familiar?

How effective that is depends on (a) how thick the steak is (b) how thick the person doing the cooking is.

About 4 months ago, I was diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia after going to the emergency department of Chiang Rai's government hospital. Four bedside visits by two doctors, both spoke excellent English. OTOH, I broke my forearm in a scooter accident some time ago. A surgeon was very keen to pin and plate my arm, but only after waiting 48 hours for a medication to clear my body. I persuaded him to settle for a cast, my arm healed normally. I agree the competence of doctors in Thailand is something of a lottery. Unless it's an emergency, any surgery I have is done in Australia.

Sick puppies are into schadenfreude.

PM 2.5 running at 55 in my Chiang Rai condo.

It's only understandable the Thai elite would want to be educated abroad. What percentage of the Thai population are that wealthy? The proposition a GF, educated to that level, would even give a foreigner a second glance, is my first encounter with supreme BS today.

I understand it's not possible to polish a turd, and I did not know there is a Soi 6 in Hong Kong. IMO the shtick has run its course, good while it lasted.

The longer I live, the better off she is. Next.

Had buffalo in East Timor when it was still under Portuguese control. $10 a day per couple bought accommodation, breakfast, 3 course lunch, 5 course dinner with wine, shoe shine and laundry. IIRC the average wage there was $5 a month.

Quite a nice feed when cooked in coconut oil.

You seem to be laboring under the delusion the opinion of a guy pushing a mop means anything to me. Thank you for your taxes, which contributed to my pension payment today.

Neither do you.

That makes you 6 SD's

I played 10 holes of golf, you can't add. I used to play 72 hole tournaments over a weekend when I was younger. I play the amount of golf I can enjoy, and don't take any notice of bitter trolls on ASEAN, who get their sick kicks out of trying to bait people.

If your life revolves around beer bars, hookers and massages, it's no wonder you think it's lame. No use looking for soul back home, that got lost last November.

I was in a charitable mood.

Them is looking more and more attractive every day. Maybe you have not noticed, but Canada is cementing deals with China to sell oil and gas. Zero tariffs applied by China. That's what happens when you alienate a good neighbor with cockeyed tariff policy. Less oil from Canada means sub-optimal operation of the mid-west refineries, higher gasoline prices at the pump. Deal with that.

You had better tell that to the women who have to travel to another state to get abortions.

It's been great for me. A woman who will look after me until I draw my last breath, an affordable cost of living. Perhaps you just don't know where to look, or how to.

Do you think the initials BS might?

IMO the free world does not have any leaders.
