The very reason that I stay in Thailand is for many reasons: a. Thailand is probably the very best country and culture that I have ever visited, including those in North America, Central America, Europe, etc. b. I love the local Thai friends I meet here in Thailand. c. The Thai people I meet have a very nice sense of humor which I enjoy. d. I like the mangos and the papayas that grow almost anywhere and everywhere. e. I am old now. And, I have lived in some REALLY UPSCALE Neighborhoods, but money is not everything. And, I can tell you honestly that, without doubt, Thailand is the only place for me. I will die here. And, I will be very thankful, on my deathbed, to look up at the ceiling and gasp My last gasp, thinking.... What was I thinking! HONESTLY: I know that I am lucky to be in Thailand. (I came to Thailand not of my own choosing particularly. My arrival here was in no way planned. I arrived here to recover from a health issue. And then, after recovery, I realized that I would be a fool to leave.)

No matter what the situation, it's always best to just pay whatever is asked, and then cut your losses, and then get on to your new life. NEVER DWELL upon the history of a relationship which has gone bad. Life is short. Maybe just move to a new country, and you will feel far better in a short amount of time. IN FACT, after moving away, and maybe moving to a new country....you will very soon.... Wonder why you were so stressed, in the first place. CHANGING one's environment, and even moving very far away to a new country, is.... The very best FIX for almost every problem in life. Please believe me...because....I have had... Much experience with Psychotic Wives. Not Joking, Folks!

FYI: I really worry about those that do not have access to AC, in their homes, and do not have the opportunity to "COOL DOWN AT NIGHT". The higher temperatures this Hot Season put a lot of stress on those who do not have access to places where they are able to cool down. Right now, one might guess, that we are on the very edge. And, if it becomes much hotter next year, or in the coming five years, then quality of life will continue to deteriorate. And, it is not just quality of life, but also the very survival of those who are more at risk, and those who are older/younger, or less physically fit. The global mean temperatures will continue to rise. And also, there will be anomalies in local areas which push temps far higher than the mean. Even people who are acclimated to hot weather in Thailand may not be able to easily adapt to the coming rise in temperature, and the higher frequency of heatwaves lasting over two weeks. I really would not know how to discuss this reality with my children....and... Hence, decades ago, I decided that it would be unconscionable to bring a child into the world which is now staring us in the face. What a NITWIT was Paul Ehrlich! He and his wifey KNEW the impending risks, yet.... The wifey convinced Paul to have, .... Just one girl. Not sure how she is now doing, ...in this heat... In 2024.... Humans are NOT LOGICAL, I believe... But, then... They sent me away.... Here to Thailand. BLAST IT!

You are 100-percent correct. Those living today must find best strategies to manage ENDLESS STRESS without succumbing to stress-induced illnesses. This is key for living a slightly better life. How does one become more resilient? Such strategies are learned early in life, I think. If we do not learn them early, then our lives often take a turn for the worse. Just, please listen to Duckworth, from PENN, concerning how to teach our youth to become more resilient. This is the best that a parent can do, looking ahead..... This girl is a Prof at PENN And, she is ALSO Chinese. So, for me... She is just perfect.... (Did you pick up on the alliteration?)

The rain is now coming down, maybe not in buckets, but this downpour is what can easily be considered... REAL RAIN. Everyone here in Chiang Mai is just so very happy to see REAL RAIN again. I think we are about to, finally, break this Dry Spell which has been plaguing CM inhabitants, for so very many sweltering weeks. Yes! A new morn, and new dawn, is FINALLY breaking.....! REJOICE! REJOICE! REJOICE! Rain coming DOWN. Humidity going UP.

Heatwave and Climate Change Puts Pressure on Thailand
GammaGlobulin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yes. That is what I meant. Saying what one means makes sense, when one has any sense, that is. -
What is the purpose of this fan on the mobo?
GammaGlobulin replied to recom273's topic in IT and Computers
Yes. I guessed the chipset fan before looking at the OP's photo. This is why I hate mainboards with fans. Always problems. And, noisy. I never buy mainboards with fans!!!! -
Heatwave and Climate Change Puts Pressure on Thailand
GammaGlobulin replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Wait: The speed of light is considered to be A constant. But, the speed of light is not constant in all cases, such as when it travels from one medium into another, for example from a complete vacuum into a liquid, or, say, a glass fiber (fibre). Capisce? -
British tourist arrested with cocaine hidden in passport
GammaGlobulin replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Less than 500 milligrams is really not that much. I have a few capsules of 500 milligrams of amoxicillin on my desk at the moment. And they are hardly even noticeable among the clutter. There must have been far more convenient places to carry 500 milligrams of a white powder, without resorting to one's passport for safekeeping.
