You say a lot of things that just don't connect for me

Of course you don't do. That's what I'm saying. Seeing people like you, without any open mind set left anymore, which you got and received from your parents when you grew up. Or any more ambitions in life. Just dropped it all.

That's not where I want to end up with later.

So yeah, I don't want to retire in Thailand, I had plans, but looking around me and guys like you ... that changed my mind!

Not the Thai people, or visa or anything like that  ... just by looking at the Farangs around me, like you ... I can't have a normal conversation about something anymore. I have to switch half of my brain off to only be happy and listen to the birds in the garden.

Red, You are really obsessed with this subject. Unfortunately I clicked on follow so you keep showing up. My advice would be to get a life and move on. You say a lot of things that just don't connect for me. Are you really that unhappy or do you crave attention? As for me I just unclicked "notify me of replies". Enough!

Ok, so then you start to respect other people and not start to talk bull about 'non sense' on page 12 talking with the wrong guy about an electric bill ... it all goes hand in hand. I also have to read your bull on the forum, ok, it goes both ways. Day in day out.

To be true, living in Thailand and look at the old people around me, makes me very scared to become the same as them later ... when you get to that kind of a shallow mind set at the end later, and have to switch off your brain to be happy, and lose all or your values and common sense you grew up with ... I don't want it!

I always said in discussions I respect that when you get older ... but in direct discussions with them, the older guys only give you <deleted>. So what!

I'm cool with it. I just call it BS, like it is or maybe trolling. Take your pick. Be careful dismounting your bar stool. Your bones are probably brittle.

Ok, but if you are really 'cool' with it ... why call it BS, Trolling, a Scam?

And not just give some good advise from your own history, and pass it on to the OP, in a nice way? Doesn't matter how stupid or silly it was?

Don't knock them down for just posting a feeling they just had at that moment!

I'm not talking from a barstool. I avoid Farang bar stool talk, for many years. The only I get is here.

I live a very simple life ... going to the beach 3-4 times a day, jumping into the pool, getting some food.

And sometimes, responding to TV posts, as I see and feel it.

Yesterday, too. OP is posting something, I can relate, Happened to me, too. In a different way, still the same topic.

He said 'Thanks', we exchange some advise, wish each other the best going forward and everything is ok!

You jump in, at page 12, call it all a scam and BS ... and complain about the waste of space in your life?

Why is that? You are not as 'cool' as you say you are.

I'll fly back to visit my grandma, 104 years old ... and will sit in the airplane, not wondering about the Thai's, but more about 

the Farangs I have met here or have to read about. You guys really lost something living here, I don't what it is, but my 

feeling is ... compassion and commons sense and understand of things, which you also did, when you were young!

That's the only game in town.

Your god Roosh, only managed to bang women I wouldn't even consider, then he hit 40, couldn't bang anyone for free, and had to find religion.

Redpill isn't reality, it's just another meme created by an aging pick-up artist and centred around his fantasy for white Christian teenage virgins.

I know that. Actually, I accidentally used your initial quote and replied direct to you, just because it was so perfect.

Without really addressing you, it was more to make an overall point. 

I forgot to mention that. All of your posts I have read so far, you got your head screwed on correctly, as far as I'm concerned.

All within a day or so. Tell me a young attractive (my assumption) bank teller who wants to shack up with a guy whose sole possessions seem to be a laptop

btw ... my grandma is turning 104 years very soon. I will fly out and see and congratulate her.

Meanwhile, you stay cool and take care you don't get a heart attack yourself, when you read on a forum that someone (you don't know) is posting he wants his laptop back, ok ????

congratulations on actually hooking up with a bank teller. based on some of the comments i think that is the #1 fantasy here on TV followed 7/11 cashier.

 

lol, yes, that is amazing, not really something you see often. 

I never had bank teller as a girl friend ... only the ones telling my own money in my own wallet 5555

lol why are some people so not understanding (I do not mean you RedPill, the person you are replying to) I have so many memories, contacts, programs, browser settings and bookmarks... Plus like you said, these days your ID is all over your computer, if it gets into the wrong hands (a vengeful crazy ex) then yeah, who knows. And it wasn't just a laptop, it was an iMac.

Online protection is one thing, but the moment someone has your device physically in front of them ... everyone can gain access and by-pass your user logons.

And once inside, it's good bye to your private life & your money at risk, if there are bad thoughts behind it.

I can not see why his laptop was so valuable, unless he was doing online business. If he didn't want the authorities to know it's contents esp if illegal, I can understand.

Well, outside of this issue or personal problems he had. 

But your personal data on a pc or laptop, is valuable. Think about all the saved passwords stored in the browsers, providing access to all sorts of online accounts, online banking information, credit card information, emails etc. 

It could cause a lot of problems to your private life if you don't protect it correctly, and it falls into wrong hands.

Have it all available stored somewhere else, to quickly change pwds etc. is really something you have to think about.

Later, it's too late.

Thanks a lot and I will take your advice after I get some shuteye, My plan was to wake early, to the police and head to the house when she was asleep, and thus not able to plan and plot lol

Yes, take it as an opportunity to get your (online) data better organized and you always can move on by just replacing that device. 

It might as well just crash and rip with the next Thunderstorm or really get stolen.

But if it falls in wrong hands, like your camera now has, that is not a good thing. Keep control! ????

It's surprising that a lot of people come on here and complain about the cost of things and how they're strugging due to EX rate but many would walk away from their items.....

 

You suggest buying a new laptop, just like that...... for some of the old crispy brigade that's a months living expenses...

No, you didn't understand. I did not say walk away and also not to buy a laptop. I said get one ... to start working protecting your online data.

I said, protect your online data, change all passwords, see what you can recover.

What ever happens later, I did not say anything about that. He might get his imac back, ok, but at least protect your data and access to accounts as much as possible in the MEANTIME (sorry to write this in capitals), just to get the point across.

I really need the iMac as it has so many contacts and work related stuff on

First thing you have to do is getting another laptop and change ALL of your passwords for important accounts, especially your Apple ID. If you have an iPhone as registered device, you will be good to get your password changed.

Log on to icloud, check what contacts and other data has been synchronized over the years. 

For sure you have some accounts in the cloud to recover passwords, i.e. gmail ... work with that.

At least mitigate the risk, in case your imac falls into wrong hands. 

Never discuss religion & politics with people you don't know ... always been better off in life following this rule ???? 

People get offended to easily talking those 2 topics.

I'm staying in an airbnb condo for 2 months and,long story short,  can't get documents from the owner. 

Did you check whether this is also a Condotel or only private condo apartments?

If it's a Condotel and they have a reception, you could ask them if they can assist to register you. 

They've done this for me for before
