Nice one....! To be added to my collection, post haste....

Some even more than others.

I am sure this can't be the reason.

Speaking of Baby Doll..... I wish I could return to the good old days.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was when...in the 1950s... Movies were movies Lovers were lovers And Women were....WOMEN!!!!!! Baby Doll didn't take no garbage from no man....for SURE!!!!!!!!!! No matter what kind of lover he might have been....

Sorry. I haven't the time to interact with them, long enough to show them.... My.... Anything.

Yes. But, do you know why? Or, is your hatred just due to some.... Nebulous, queasy feeling in your GUT...?

Nobody is a China-Hater, here...least of all....ME. I am a China LOVER, as well as being one of the last great lovers, since Rudy, as I explained in the Topic. I like the tiny-Chinese-Chili personality-type, myself....

Yes. I am aware of these types. I was only trying to respectfully point out that the BIG FIVE seem much more useful when choosing a partner (male or female). If I were emperor, then I would mandate that ALL partners be subjected to a thorough testing using some sort of very valid PERSONALITY INVENTORY..BEFORE hooking-up, or marriage. Nobody should be allowed on TINDER without first being screened and assigned a score. The cost of testing would be born by Tinder. Tinder is a dastardly company which cares only about profits, and not about harm reduction. Think of all the human suffering that could be avoided or ameliorated just through very extensive testing prior to marriage, and/or Tinder-facilitated Hooking-Up....!!!!!!!!!!!

You are completely correct that the women who are trying to be WH reporters are not journalists but rather activists. This is why they keep talking way past the point that they have coughed up one of their questions. They are not there to collect information, but rather to spew their agenda all over everyone, including the hapless real reporters that are attending in order to do their important work. They do not think before they open their mouths to vomit forth their garbage like the parrots they are. Whatever happened to asking good questions? Do they mistakenly believe they are there for a debate? If they want a debate, why not organize a debate?

I agree. Why aren't women these days (and men too) able to engage in a bit of daily introspection? Why do they tattoo themselves for no reason other than they heard that someone on the other side of the continent might have done it, and also for little reason. Maybe this is the age of reason, but minus the reason. This is not the age of book reading, but book burning. Reading a book in a quiet place might require too much introspection and self-reflection. If we were to continue to act one way, but also begin to think a different way due to the reading of books, then this might just cause too much stress for us to handle.

As far as I know, there are only five major personality traits of interest, and 16 types is just too many to be reasonably useful: Please beware of women who score high on neuroticism and paranoia. Same goes for men of this bent. Because, truly, they are bent. Keeping in mind that these are scored on a continuum from very low to very high, we all exhibit all five of these factors.

Dear Folks, As for me, all my GFs have stated that I am like…. One of the last of the great lovers, since Rudy died. How do I know that they were not just… Pulling my Leg? Well, for one, they often told me this AFTER we were either Divorced or Separated. So, I know this must be true. But, as for you guys: What makes you think you are great lovers? Tell us why your GFs think you are….if you do believe you are. Maybe you should ask them, once again, before replying here in great detail. I am always curious about what TV members say about members of the opposite sex, concerning what the women you know actually think of you, in this respect. I have been dying to ask for several years. But, in fact, I had been afraid of inviting too much Hot Air here. Now seems as good a chance as any to ask this question. Best regards, Gamma

Would you say that this VIDEO provides a SKEWED view of the topic it covers? I am not saying that we should keep women down on the farm. Actually, at the time this was released, I was very impressed with this portrayal. Seems to me that women-womanhood in the USA these days can be somewhat described as a square peg in a round hole, in general. Why this is....I have not thought much about the question. I have zero interaction with the American Woman in Asia. Also, perhaps it is the very fact that I have NOT been living in the USA for so many years that helps me to recognize important differences between what things were like 50 years ago, and what they have become, today, or during the past two decades. Perhaps the radical change that I observe and have observed is a result of how women have been portrayed on popular television shows and films, or maybe this is the result of a concerted effort to change women to fit Women's Lib values of the 1960s, 1970s, and maybe it's a result of just too much bra-burning.

No, but I would prefer that she quickly grow up and grow into her job. As I say, maybe she is just suffering temporary Impostor Syndrome. Underneath the veneer, she may be quaking in her boots, and maybe she will calm down.

I recall Subway sandwiches. When was the moment I first ordered one, I do not know. I just knew at the time that they were overpriced for what you got. Still, they were decent sandwiches at Subway, at least in the USA they were. I would not complain about much but their price. How much of income went to the Franchise and how much was retained by the owner of the shop, the one that did all the work, I do not know. Subway sandwiches could never compare with those made by Hymies's Delicatessen, for sure. But, the Subway sandwiches are probably better than the 7-sandwitches....

Dear Folks, Am I wrong or is the New American Suffragette even more insufferable than at any time in American history? Why is this? Why I say….!!!! Also, the new American female news “reporter”: Why do they HOUND us, instead of trying to just be HUMAN, and engage in meaningful social intercourse, for a change? (This is what happens when a perfectly nice Chinese girl from XiaMen moves to the USA at age 2. She turns into a hound, seemingly. In China, she would have grown and become a REAL woman, instead. But, in the USA, after growing up there, she turned into THIS!!!!) Yes, the new American female seems to HOUND instead of REPORT. Especially in recent news conferences with my friend Trump, they don’t even wait for an answer. Instead, they just Talk, Talk, TALK, instead of listen. Don’t they even want an answer to their questions? Seems that they do not. This is why I don’t want no American Woman in my life. Maybe what Trump and others, and even we, need is some sort of GONG we can use when interacting with them?...just to stop them from foaming at the mouth, or something. Strident is not the word for it. What we need is a NEW word to describe the new American Woman. Not sure what it might be… But, this phenomenon is not limited to just female American reporters, as you probably already know. Some new word we can add to our lexicon, is what we need. Thank goodness I moved to Asia over 45 years ago. And now, at least to me, the difference between the American Woman of the 1970s and the 2020s is like Night and Day. Where will this all end? Will these girls begin to just…. Explode on camera when they finally blow a gasket? Blow a gasket? That’s a phrase I will not soon forget. How do you guys who still live part-time in the USA tolerate this? Same in the UK? Bewildered, and, girls, PLEASE…. Keep your voices down, Gamma Note: American Woman, stay away from me, please… Stay away, please.....!!!

Everybody knows that many Thai people hide from the Sun. They wear winter coats with hoods in the hottest times of the year, for example. Also, this may be one reason why many Thai people test low for serum vitamin D levels. Supplementation and testing is recommended. They hide from the Sun!!!

EXACTLY the words that I was looking for, which best describe Shirley, at this time in her young life. ARROGANT AND NERVOUS, to a T.....!!!! This is why I cannot stand her. I believe that Trump chose her because she is less competent, and so that Trump, himself, can do most of the Talking. I am sure of it.

EXACTLY....!!!!! Also, why are these "Bloody farangs" calling each other MATE? Are they both sailors, or something? This is why I rarely leave my compound when there is news of Farangs about. Some Farang are former policemen. Still, just from the Topic description, it is clear that this Farang was raising his voice when not necessary, and probably being impatient with the clerk, .... something which is actually inexcusable, IMHO. Unfortunately, it's not impossible to lose one's equanimity in all this heat. And sometimes we do become unintentionally impatient unless we learn how to COOL IT, and count to about 100, before saying things in a tone that we will later regret. I don't like policemen, because the intervention by such Farang police can quickly escalate, and sometimes to murder, which is often reported here on TV.

We do NOT like to see her or anyone sabotaged, for sure. She is just too young. And, she lacks necessary wisdom and poise due to her tender age. By the end of Trump's term, she will be 31 and will have gained what she lacks at the moment. Maybe she is suffering from the dreaded Impostor Syndrome?

I predict that she will not last. And, I believe that Vance will choose someone quite different. Although, ..... It's possible that she might grow up and grow into her job.

The last time I drank this Dutch offering was quite some time ago, when Taiwan purchased two subs. In exchange for agreeing to sell Taiwan subs, I think Taiwan, out of the kindness of the heart, decided to buy up a ton of Heineken beer. The locals did not like it. And, the price kept dropping Finally, I bought some, too. I would prefer German beer. And, I think I would never pay "extra" for Dutch beer, at least no more than for Singha or Leo. Is Heineken more expensive than Singha? And, what about the Dutch Brew's Bubbles? Are they small enough for me, do you think? We on Formosa salute the Dutch for their Subs, but not so much for their Brew. Although, Heineken seems to be doing much better in Taiwan these days, compared to 44 years ago. The Dutch just LOVE Taiwan.... But, in the past, the Taiwanese disliked their beer. Not so much, now, I think. Maybe they want to sell more weapons to Taiwan. Or, establish another colony on Formosa... IDK, Too early to say, for now.

It is a COMPLETELY different experience to look through the eyepiece of a telescope and see the moons of Jupiter, compared to just seeing images in a book. The reason is that one can finally grasp that the moons are real, and it's almost like being there. The experience is not the same. One is seeing a changing image in Real Time. Just not the same. When I was young and in high school, I once ground an 8-inch blank of glass from Corning, using a 55-gallon drum filled with water, and without any other equipment. The process of checking and re-checking the focal length of a half-finished mirror using a candle is something everyone should do, at least once in their life. One thing I miss about being where I am is that having a telescope here would be pointless. One other thing most people should do once in their life is take a one-year course in astronomy at a decent university with a dynamite professor. And an example: Much of such a course is spent learning the chemistry of the Sun, and stuff like that. As for modern equipment for the hobbyist, the investment can quickly mount up. Also, I think you mentioned the a Dobsonian (Newtonian) telescope..... When one has the time, it's always best to build oneself....maybe....

He came to your room? What was the point of that?
