Fat is a type of crazy

I know this is a place for banter but I wish some guys from late 50's on could have a bit of humility when it comes to women. All these criteria such as 40kg with nothing about the person herself. Posting videos of popstars who would shudder at the thought of old guys showing interest. Good luck but wake up too.

If he is Australian and contributed significantly or paid for the house he should have no problem getting at least half of that and anything else. Assuming she isn't caring for kids. The courts are fairly practical despite what some say here.

My reference to freedom of the press is that they are free from government interference to a fair degree. Sure, if you suggest that the notion that the Murdoch press has too much power and a clear preference for the liberal party, is not an ideal situation, that is fine. But such an issue does not in my opinion result in the apparent conclusion by the previous poster that the situation in Thailand, is similar to countries like Australia, and therefore democracy is not effective at all. Australia is an example where people are free to vote, there are checks and balances to ensure a free election, and you can be confident the winner won. Despite the type of imperfections you have noted.

So much flows from an argument like that. So many excuses to deny the effectiveness of democracy despite it's imperfections. Use Australia as an example. Show widespread corruption or that elections and the press aren't free and fair.

I was 39 and she was 21 and it worked well in some ways because we had a similar temperament and sense of humour and being with a young lady wasn't shabby. I had been alone for a while as I got sick of Australian women and probably they me. The gap started to show in terms of how we wanted to spend her time, what was interesting to each of us, and how we should spend money and it was done in 5 years. Prenup for me and citizenship and a love of Australia for her has helped to make us still be close friends. Now she is 40 and can see the world a bit how I saw it back then.

Sometimes he cuts to the chase in an effective way. Some common sense here and there. But he always takes things too far and then gets boring and I give him a miss for another 6 months.

An atheist is defined as either lacking belief or disbelieving in god. That does not absolutely dismiss the possibility of something. So, by that definition, being an agnostic in comparison can seem a bit namby pamby . But if someone says there is nil chance of a god then that might be too hard core and based on a kind of faith. I lack belief and disbelieve the idea of some people's god but I don't say it is not at all possible. I think I can still be an atheist. In a sense agnosticsm could be a religion - the religion of keeping an openness to the idea of god based more on hope or conformity or politeness rather than logic or science. An atheist says they lack belief or do not believe but if science shows otherwise fair enough.

Not a bad list. I would replace coffee with chocolate and I am not into photography. But I relate to the idea of having a good woman and a bit of space to breathe. The thing is how you can fund it to make that into a sustainable lifestyle.

Paid our own way. Shouted each other drinks, 3 people so shout in multiples of 3, in a fair, non sexist, non exploitative, non oppressive, and non patriarchal manner. It was fun.

I like travel with a small bag or two but the girls tend to need their 20 kilos

I have had to book a few flights for my girlfriend and I normally find the domestic flights end up cheaper on Thai Smile or Thai Airways - same company of course - once you factor in fees and luggage. Better not to go to Don Muang too if possible. Maybe it was an oddity.

I had one where this apparent beautiful Hong Kong girl contacted me on Line apparently by accident. I have too much time on my hands, so I let it continue, and she was convincing that she worked as a share trader etc etc, and even gave me tips that turned out terrible, but there was no initial scam. Sent me photos. Brief phone call. Was actually fun. She knew I had a girlfriend as she is on my line picture. Ends up I think she was in fact a pretty girl from Hong Kong and her plan was to get a nice present. A bit later she said it was her birthday and would I buy her this $3000 handbag. I made a few jokes about it which she didn't understand, or did not want to understand, and then disappeared once she realised no handbag was forthcoming. Common I am sure but my first time.

Recently finished 3 series of Dead to me on Netflix. She is excellent in that. No dumb blonde that's for sure.

I concur that sweetened peanut butter is no good. Same for yoghurt, breakfast cereal, and you need high cocoa low sugar percentage chocolate - 85 per cent is probably best. Would be nice if these products of good quality were for sale in Thailand for the same price in Australia.

The standard price seems to 650 baht per person from Trat airport in a van, ferry, van to your hotel. There is an alternative where you can pay 280 baht on a truck which gets you from the airport to the ferry, and includes the ferry fare, and then you get on a truck to your hotel for another 100 baht or so. The hotel offers the car and speed boat option for 1250 which compared to the 650 sounds not bad. But if boats can't run they'll pick you and others up and it will be pretty much like the 650 option so I am thinking whether it's worth taking a punt. Actually you can book within 3 days so I might wait till it gets closer and have a look at the weather and, if still with not much rain, then give it a go.

It's Santhiya Tree on Klong Proa. If they can't take the boat they still take you but it is double the normal price by car and ferry etc.

It was funny. In a funny way you could argue it was politically correct itself as, though they called each other Snowflake, Honky, Sambo, and Nig Nog the whole message was that we are all the same and it's a small world after all. I think this post is a romantic vision of the past and good shows were few and far between. Give me Netflix etc in 2023 thanks.

We are going in August and a hotel we are staying at has a service which is a car and speedboat to take you direct to the hotel from the airport and it is only about AUD26 per person extra than the normal 650 baht fee. Seems like it could be fun and not so expensive. The catch is they say if the weather is bad they will take you the normal way with no refund. Looking for those with knowledge of Koh Chang and or speedboats to know if the odds would be reasonable that a speedboat could make the trip at the time.

It's a bit of a coincidence as I did look up someone who rejected me in high school recently. For fun. I have a facebook account in a silly name that is otherwise not used. It was a bit of a shocker at the time and she ended up with my best friend. Became friends later but no go for romance. The coincidence is that she is in fact now a life coach and her life story on the site says she was a potential high flyer but then had a debilitating injury and her life coaching is based around that experience. Not sure how the business is going though. It is kind of interesting to see the person you had a crush on and to be able to fast forward 30 or 40 years in five minutes reading. I had a girlfriend too back in the 80's who works in a university and published a book on feminism and on the spur of the moment I contacted her and we had a nice dinner with a mutual friend. No, people, she was nice, friendly, and open despite what some people think of feminists here.

No Facebook Twitter Instagram. Yes to online working from home. Love it. Soon our union will hopefully make is so we can work home more than 2 days a week. Influences whether I retire sooner or later. Today system went down at office so sitting here getting paid to do nothing at home. Sad. So access to the online world can be a good thing.

1 I met a girlfriend from 1984 and we had a nice dinner. It was nice to be with someone who you could talk freely and openly and who understood the world I saw. Young girlfriends are enticing but can be demeaning if you accept your age as a disability rather than a strength. 2 How about the little countries to see what makes them tick. Liechtenstein. San Marino. 3 Nepal for a holiday. Cambodia if longer term I suppose though they have an appalling government and it can seem like a lesser Thailand.

I agree with the sentiments but I am not sure that this person is 'entitled' to be called she. It is up to each individual to decide, but it is polite not to offend, and when it does not affect your life. But if someone doesn't want to call the person a she they are not doing something wrong I think. I am not keen on the term cis gender. It suggests it is a known fact that gender is fluid and independent of genitalia and chromosomes in the way that some accept it is but may not be. But it might be. I really think it comes down to both sides accepting that they are not sure if this is a scientific thing or not and as much as possible live and let live.

Maybe those big wings need plenty of stimulation to say lithe and strong. Could be displaying itself to the opposite sex. Could be marking it's territory. Maybe it's little brain knows that if it covers a wider area it will be in a better position to spread it's seed and understand and control it's environment.

If I try and log in from work that stupid Cloudflare thing comes up and makes me pick boxes with pictures of bikes or whatever but then will only let me in half the time. Then if I try and get in later it won't let me at all.

Come back next week folks when the same posters will have the same debate on this same topic. No one will change their mind a bit.
