This morning, I dreamed of eating a cherry pie, so tart that my mouth puckered. The crust was light and very flaky. Where do the best cherry pies come from? Why have I not had one, after so many years, and what else do I dream about. Rhubarb is grown in Thailand, but rarely. A few years ago, I read on TV about someone who was attempting to grow rhubarb. This poster had a small patch of rhubarb. And, I remain curious if rhubarb requires as much time to grow as does asparagus. Asparagus is another thing that I miss, here in Thailand. One must plant it, and then wait a long time. Maybe rhubarb grows faster than asparagus. Makes one's mouth water.

As has been often said: There are too few nurses in this world. Nurses need to be paid MUCH MORE for the work that they do. And, they must be afforded the true respect that they absolutely deserve. Therefore, if you are able, then please support your local nurse, and all nurses.

Still, most of the nurses at the hospital I visit are hot, hot, hot.....! Yet, they are STILL VERY, VERY CARING. I am always grateful to my nurses, when I need one. And, other times, mostly, I just think about clamming.

Florence provided great comfort to many. By the way, when one is sick or dying, nobody cares if one's nurse might be hot. We only care about her great caring. This is SO true. Try it, and see, when you are almost dying. Because, then, you just need a hand to hold, and the kind touch of a caring nurse.

BUT, also... the nurses at this hospital were also kind AND most attractive, from their toes, up to their everywhere. I love nurses. And, some nurses have nursing degrees, such as an MS, or a PhD in nursing. These nurses are most attractive to me. Even if a nurse has a PhD in nursing, it's all the same to me..... Because, I just love their white uniforms, and their hair tied up behind with a bow.

So many Conservative Freaks here on this forum. Freaks me OUT. For example, yesterday afternoon, as I was waiting in the lounge at one major hospital here, I saw some old guy with a ponytail, and with white hair tied in a knot at the back of his neck, and one small gold earing, probably not 19 carat gold. Immediately, I knew he was from TV. I would have spoken to him, if it were not for the virus. It is so sad to get old, I think, when one's belly enlarges, and one sits alone in the waiting room of a hospital, just hoping that some meds might cure one. So sad, when this is really the only thing that one might look forward to. Thankfully, the nurses at this hospital are second to none, in terms of being lookers. The nurses are hot. Why go elsewhere to find nurses dressed up as nurses, when one can just go to the hospital and find the real thing? (Hats off to real nurses. And, thank you. Nurses provide us with comfort and soothing, when we most require it.)

How Many of You have ever gone clamming? I am old, and you are young. One of my fondest memories of my youth is that time when I went clamming, pre-puberty. In order to go clamming, all you need is a rake and a bucket. One wades out into tidal waters, and then uses one's rake, in order to find clams. After about two hours, one has enough clams in one's bucket. Then, one takes the clams and makes a clam stew, called clam chowder. And so, i am just wondering if, in Thailand, there are tidal waters such as these, where one can go clamming. There is no better pursuit than clamming, for a youngster. This is how it is done.... Can we do this in Thailand, too? AR-170719241.jpg&Maxw=800&q=62

These days, during the days of the virus...I sometimes feel that my last remaining days of my life are being wasted. It's like Ham and Eggs in the morning, which was always my best meal. I just feel like my remaining days of Ham and Eggs are being totally wasted. No Doubt, before this virus situation is completely at an end, we, the guys who are old, will have wasted some of our best years, being cooped up at home, like chickens. Do you not feel exactly as do I? I mean, years ago, it was like.... Chicken Flying all around the Plane, and no one could feel much higher. And now, it is like, the only chicken you see is the rooster outside your window, crowing at odd hours, and disturbing you. By the way: I have just begun to "get into" Spencer Tracy flicks. Maybe, you should, too.

Please call me...Grandpa Some of the most exciting times were before you were ever born. I will not argue with you about this. This is why, guys like us, are so bored with these days you mistakenly feel so exciting. We boomers did things you can only imagine, back in the day. Back in the day, in Thailand, too! The things we did, back in the day, would blow your mind. These days, most days are very boring, comparatively. Everybody knows this.

The world is changing. And, no doubt, after being locked up for 18 months, life will be different for all of us. Do NOT Take Drugs...because... You will be SORRY if you do. Taking drugs...YOU CANNOT GO BACK. Don't get hooked! You will be sorry. However, there is no doubt that our world is changing now. The Wuhan Virus has changed us all, our entire world. Not sure what you might think about this.....

When we refer to chicken, most of us know what chicken refers to.

Tell me how you might have felt IF you had not been restricted from eating Thai food And Thai chicken, during the past many months.

Name the best country you might wish to live in....IF.... You had not been made crazy by the pandemic.

Today, I went to the hospital, just in order to see what condition my condition was in. Such a deep dark hole. I was crawling around, not even knowing my name. I guess you feel like me, somedays. The nurses were sexy, yet they were of no interest to me. I guess you know, when we reach our end, even peaches have no interest for us. As long as we are alive, yet there is hope, which is much more than we can now say for that Rolling Stones drummer who beat his last drum. I am alive, and he is dead. He threw out his last drumstick into the audience. What I am saying is that, while we are alive, while we are still breathing, the best thing to do is make love to women, Women love men who love them. I know this. I always tell women that I love just how much they turn me on. I hope you will do the same. Because, soon, it will be too late, and we will be down under, by six feet, and only the worms will love us when this happens. ========== Therefore, never be bashful about telling a woman just how sexy and beautiful she might be. I never shirk from doing this. I think that, if done in the right way, with respect, and maybe tongue in cheek, girls like this. What do you think?

As other more informed posters have already clearly stated, it seems that existing rules do not allow one to enter this type of program by which one can contribute to Physiology learning at med schools here, if one is not Thai. Why this is so, has not been explained here. If you might wish to pursue this admirable personal choice further, then... Call Tamassat, Chula, CMU and inquire. Certainly, you would be helping students, if you can find the way. Maybe you might check organ donation, depending upon your age. Call Chula in Bangkok. The telephone operators at Chula speak English. And, they are smart.

St. Croix. 1963 You are entirely correct that St. Croix was amazing in 1963. But, as Boy George said, regarding Time.... If I could turn back the clock, then I would choose to spend my days in Kyoto, Japan. Sucking soba.

Well, you have the respect of many readers here. At least this counts for something. In addition, everyone knows that you are a caring person.

I recall, from days gone by, that you always believed you could out-post me. However, truth to tell, I left you behind me, when I was in my prime, like Brody.

This quote is not unknown to me.

How about Smokey Joe's, in Philly? 1970...

Are you implying that the choices we make, collectively, do not predict our fate? Or, are you stating that our fate and destiny is preordained, as in forordinatiin? By the way.... I am VERY pleased to see you alive and well, after a few years. You have the best profile image of anyone on TV, a rotating fluorescent ball which is unmistakable. Take care, Real Thing. If fate, and the gods, are with us... then... I have no doubt that you and I can share another thought, in 2031. As I do recall, from almost a decade ago, you were more lively, then. What happened to you? Did the cat get your tongue, since then? Take care, my friend... We are becoming older, by the day. (Wish we could return to the days of Wine and Roses. However, Time only moves forward, due to the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, and Entropy. And, you, like I, are no longer as hot as we once were, back in 2013.) Take care, my friend.

Hate to put a damper on some choices. However, has anyone considered two important factors? aa. Emigration and population migration. bb. Radically changing visa policies due to global warming. I mean, during the next decade, our world will not be the same as you see it, now. Politics aside, the US Army is already strategizing ways to deal with upcoming major mass movements of people, And I don't mean movements we all must deal with, in the bathroom. If you are young enough, and you expect to live 20 more years, then maybe you should just join the US Army, and get into the field of intelligence. The arctic is melting fast. Savannas are drying out fast. Santana left Mexico, long ago. No need to take my word for it. Most governments around the world recognize that planning for the next decade is challenging. I guess that most of you guys know about positive feedback loops. Need we mention methane? So, really, if you are planning for the future, then you should be thinking... Haiti. I mean, I thought that this was supposed to be a serious conversation. And yet, not even one person mentioned the important issues which keep the US Army strategists shaking in their boots. Also, no mention about the probable conflict in the offing, in the South China Sea. No mention about possible conflict in the arctic. I mean, if you guys just want to dream away, as if you are like Michael Jackson, dosed on Milk, then please feel free to delude yourselves. You guys are dreamers. Children hiding under desks. (Love you guys!!!)

Backhanded compliment. If you really want to be happy, then, you would ship out aboard an oil tanker traveling between Rastanura and Satahip. Out upon the briney sea, nothing but stars and flying fish, and porpoise riding the bow wave. It's magical. Only sailors know what I am talking about.

Looks like a Greek Tragedy. Or, chorós significato greco.

Land, or lack thereof, is not a prerequisite for qualifying as a peasant, obviously.
