  1. Menstruating person
  2. PTSD is a documented mental health condition. You don't know what people have been through, or what their prior life experiences were that caused them to develop PTSD from a traumatic when some others can tolerate a similar traumatic event with less ill effect. There are a whole lot of ways that people can become mentally messed up through no fault or weakness on their part.
  3. In Phuket I've seen some perfectly acceptable modern condos, including large swimming pools, in the Kathu district (10 minute motorbike ride from either Patong Beach or Phuket Town) for 4500 - 5000 per month.
  4. I lost a wallet when I was in my 20s. It had $2 in it along with my driver's license, some other ID and a credit card. Someone turned it in to a convenience store, which took the time to find me in the phonebook using the info on my drivers license (this was before the internet). The $2 was gone but the ID and credit card were still there. This was in the midwest in the U.S. Also in the U.S. I was on a very early (pre-sunrise) morning bicycle ride and saw a woman's purse in the road, actually quite a way out in a street T-intersection and not really in front of a house. I picked it up and took it home, and then opened it to see if there was a way to find out who it belonged to. There was a ladies' wallet inside with some money and ID, and also a small daytimer (this was also before the internet or cell phones) with some contacts in it, so I called the first contact and was able to connect with the owner and get it to her at her work, she was a young lady working in a nearby grocery store bakery. She was super-thankful. I never found out how it got in the road, but figured that based on its location and that it must not have been there for very long or a motorist would have spotted it and stopped, that maybe she was leaving a party in the wee hours and put it on top of her car, but forgot and drove off, then it fell when she made a turn at that intersection.
  5. "I see lots of people do same things over and over. Dont they get bored doing the same things?" The chains of habit are too light to feel until they become too heavy to be broken. But there is comfort in routine. I have coffee first thing in the morning. Sometimes it's different coffee, sometimes it's in different places, but coffee is an important part of my morning routine and gets me grounded as I start my day (no pun intended). Beyond that, I've found that getting out and doing things with friends is a great cure from becoming overly set into a routine. It is fun and stimulating to add variety and live in the moment, but not all the time. Falling back on a routine actually frees my brain up to focus on more important things.
