about a democracy

that is disgusting.

thank you for you advise. my problem is that it is stuck in her head that she need a c-section. tears ago she had a surgery on one of her abdominal area. the doctor at the time said that if she was going to have children that she would need a c-section, but the first doctor that we went to "Bangkok Samui Hospital" recommended natural birth. My wife said that doctor was stupid and actively sought a doctor that would do a c-section. I'm not pleased with her decision and i'm not sure what i can do about it. I only want what is best for my child and my wife, but her idea is does not parallel mine. It is very frustrating.

One of my best friends that lived in Thailand ended up marrying his Swiss wife afer being away from her living in Thailand for several months. Never once did he succumb to thai temptation. I highly respect the man. His new Missus is pretty gorgeous though and is one of the sweetest farang girls i've seen.

So i guess it comes down to you. do you think that you can compete with seductive, submissive, kind hearted, sexy thai women?

I just tried to cough and spat a mouthful of beer over my keyboard. I think I'm getting pissed!

I bought one of those water proof keyboards after spilling beer all over the last one. It is horrible to type on, but it has saved me from having to by several keyboards by now.

My Missus wasn't even aware there was a problem in Burma until a week into it. She told me as if I hadn't heard. Then I explained to her what was happening there. I personally think that if Monks weren't involved that it wouldn't have even made Thai news.

Deliver baby via natural birth I believe that it is better both for mum and baby because it has less complications and side effects. I believe that if possible mothers should try a natural delivery and only for those that really need one then have a cessar. Like in the situation of the baby being in distress or an extra big baby then cessar should be performed. If mothers are affraid of the pain then an epidural is always an option. But it is all up to the individual.

All the way through from conception to birth and beyond, there is 2 sides to each option a parent can take with their pregnancy/ labour/ rearing. Surely at the end of the day it is up to each mother and father to decide what is best after getting all the facts and making an informed decision themselves.

Afterall - there are no books on parenting so we have to guide ourselves.

What are possible side effects of a C-Section?

My wife seems to think that she needs a cesarean section although a doctor told her to have a natural birth. She thinks that a cesarean section is no big deal. I told her that it is a serious operation but she doesn't believe me. I found out from some other people that many Thai's prefer to go under the knife to have birth. What is that all about? Is there anything I can tell my wife to make her change her mind. At the moment it is our only disagreement (which is rare). I guess it is her body, but I'd like her to seriously think it over. She is as stubborn as a mule though, so I'm guessing that whatever she says is going to happen will happen.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (you see something new in it every time you watch it)

Pulp Fiction (brilliant movie that never gets old)

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Here's some information if you can be bothered to read Thai, it shows some different poisons and antidotes.

The antidotes look like they might be really helpful for this guy. My Missus says that those plants grow wildly in her home. It was her idea to send him an antidote if he would be willing to accept it. I think she would have a monk or an elder prepare it. I tend to think that it is the chemical make up that will counteract the illness. Its really sweet... as I writing this she keeps throwing out suggestions and keeps asking questions about his ailment. If there is anything we can do to help let me know. We'd hope that someone would do the same if we were in that situation.

Dealing with Yasang My wife says that he should go see a monk. He can fix it (don't know the validity of it). She confirmed that i is related to the food that it is eaten. She says tell him to come here and she can help him. She says her cousin knows a monk that deals with lots of medicines and potions that might be able to set him straight..

I met Jerry Lewis by his Yacht in San Diego (about 15 years ago).

I met Magic Johnson, Cindy Crawford, Wayne Newton, and Buster Douglas at the first Tyson-Holyfield fight.

I went snorkeling with Marcus Camby in the Caribbean (when he was a Rookie for the Toronto Raptors).

I met Terry Bradshaw at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas.

I met Jay Leno backstage at one of his comedy shows in Las Vegas.

I shook Ron Jeremy's hand at a Party in Reno. Wee Man (the midget from Jackass) was at that same party being chased by someone.

(My father sat next to Don King, and Larry King on an airplane, [but it wasn't the same flight.])

My brother tells me stories all the time of the celebrities he has met in Las Vegas. He is good friends with TJ Laven (from the X-Games). My brother gave Paris Hilton a high five just the other day.

They should first concentrate more on police reform before attempting to launch crime prevention networks.

I studied Criminal Justice back at Uni. There is a method for preventing crime known as CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design). It uses techniques that are as simple as lighting a dark area and putting up thorny bushes in front of easily accessible windows. Community Oriented Policing and Problem Solving (COPPS) is starting to be used here by involving demographics of the community. This works well in middle and upper class neighborhoods however poorer communities (where most crime takes place) are often reluctant to communicate with police (or so is the case in the US).

When crime is prevented then police have nothing to report and it gives the impression that they are not doing their job. It is a political strategy to say "preventing crime" when what they really want to do is solve more crime so they can continue to receive funding. Usually funding is based on how many arrests were made rather than how many crimes were prevented (which can not be calculated except for annual statistics which is lengthy and often incorrect).

I am curious as to what was said at the meeting. I wonder if there were any real suggestions or if it was just a back scratching festival.

I have the "True" network now. I am glad that my wife now prefers the educational channels (eg. Discovery, NatGeo, etc.) over the silly Thai comedies, but when her friends are visiting the TV gets changed right to the slapstick humor silly sound effects shows. But they don't laugh very much because they know I am making fun of the show the entire time. I verbally try to replicate the sound effects as much as possible while I'm sitting with them. I think deep down they know it is quite ridiculous but they just need someone to point it out to them in a comical way. I love to ask them "what are they talking about"? They respond "They talk about joking". AAAAAAhhhhhhhh

i'm having problems as well. i thought it was just me. i'm glad i came here. hope it works tomorrow.

honest woman?

get a hammock. they are the best.

One of the nice things about being poor is I don't have these problems!

I agree with you there. Rich people problems are still problems.

I see it as a misunderstanding behind the reactions of various cultures to respond to different stimuli. When you hit your "funny bone" on your elbow for example, why do you laugh. You are in pain. Pain is not common to induce laughter but yet you find yourself laughing because there is nothing you can do about it until it goes away.

I find myself laughing in disbelief to situations all the time usually followed by a statement "this is crazy" then a few more giggles in disbelief. It isn't a comical laughter and I don't find the situation to be funny but laughter seems to be the only reaction that is warranted at the time. Further reflection brings about other emotions but the initial shock puts you into laughter.

I find myself laughing in anger at things and people as well. However there is a tone to laughter that can be distinguished as to what kind of emotion is really being represented. It is the follow up reaction to a traumatic event that will reveal the an individuals feelings on the matter.

A large amount of TV posters here are associating laughter with comedy which is the most common form of laughter in most cultures. Have you ever cried because something was so funny? I have. I wasn't sad or in pain but I found myself in tears at a comment or situation that was legitimately funny.

This is a psychological discussion on emotion and reaction to those emotions. I don't doubt that there are sinister people that have inappropriate reactions to horrific events but we are discussing the majority.

I'll bet that you confuse the hel_l out of people with all of your 'reverse' emotional reactions. Also, when I hit my 'funny bone', I don't laugh as I am usually in some pain. You are probably the only person in the cosmos who laughs when you hit your 'funny bone'.

I suggest, in this land of 1 000 001 rules for behaviour, that 1 tiny extra rule be added (since rules are so well loved & adhered to)..."don't laugh at tragic events."

i agree. Tragic events should not provoke comical laughter. What you are saying is that people can't have first reactions. That is impossible. A tragic event is not comical but it still my produce laughter as an emotional reaction. You are still confusing laughter with comedy.

there is nothing to worry about going between the 2 islands. i wouldn't consider it to be a danger unless it was heavily storming while at night and even then you could do it. i would rather jetski to samui from phangan in horrible weather conditions than take a boat. always wear a life jacket and make sure your kill switch is attached to you so that if you fall off having fun it doesn't idle away from you. let someone know that you are leaving so that when you don't return that night you can have people looking for you.

just go and do it. it sounds like a good idea.

when i lived in the states we had 3 seadoo's and one was equipt with a floating trailer to carry spare gasoline. we would go on full day excursions.

another nuisance is getting stuck behind these trucks that are spilling rocks that sting your face while going down the road. same happens when they are flying past you the other way. they are also extremely loud. freakin annoying. mai glang jai

I heard that the FDA doesn't approve Chang Beer to be sold in the US because of all the chemicals that are added to it. There is no quality control.
