Gamma, if she's got to be top 10% intellect AND top 10% body weight, that means that 99% of the time, you shoulda stayed in bed, date search-wise. If you have even one more requirement, then it's more like 99.9% of the time. Brutal self exam time -can you realistically pull that?

In America, insurers code 85% of mental health as generalized anxiety disorder, which is to say, unhappiness to the point where it is interfering with life. How unhappy, how interfering? Who knows? But this broad assessment does ask a basic question: Are you unhappy or are you depressed (at least in clinical terms)? Most people seeking payment for services will be both. What's your best guess of what your unhappiness/depression pie graph look like right now? If you don't mind waving goodbye to your boner, give antidepressants a shot. If you're not psych-level depressed, they won't work. That won't prove to the nth degree that you're more unhappy than clinically depressed, but you'll know which side of the pie chart you need to work on more.

Without tongue-specifics, I can't comment.

Always some Bruce fist-pumper or other. Back in the day, it was called Bruce-Juice. But if I'm Bruce'd out, I'll occasionally dip into classic-era live Bon Jovi for some oomph. And then there's U2 (pre-techno) once in a blue moon.

To assess whether or not you are Mensa-worthy, ask yourself, could you speak as articulately as this dozen times+ Mensa speaker and paid member? And are you even nearly as good looking? Al Goldstein defends Oprah:

Possibly I alone here have been to a Mensa meeting. Twice. The reason: Pornographer Al Goldstein was the speaker. I used to work for Al -a grotesque pig and a moron, but fair play: consistently hilarious. Arte Lange from Howard Stern basically stole his whole personality from Al (who died homeless). Al Goldstein was the best speaker they could attract. In Manhattan. Hence, his double-booking. On a non-Al night, they might get 20 people. In Manhattan. Unsurprisingly, Mensa had a lot of real estate agents and school teachers, but was a tad shy on brain surgeons -or even accountants. If you like 'em fat, neurotic, and sex-starved, it was good hunting. Me? Sure, if it's on offer.

I'm sorry, but jaunty Back Door Boogaloo runs over that murky dirge like a tank. Laugh at trivial things, like me easily besting some saddo in a Back Door/Back Off-debate. It will help.

$700 a month for me and my American wife. I'm 70, she's 60.

-Internet instead of doing what, exactly? If it's holding me back from finding a cure for cancer, then yeah, I gotta get off; lives are at stake. But if it's this, watching a movie, or looking out the window, I call it a draw.

Gagging to hear your story of observing an enraged Joe Cummings.

Since you brought it up as. black dog thing, I find this always lifts my spirits -Oh wait, he's saying back off boogaloo, NOT black dog boogaloo, like I comically misremembered. Still, the concept remains the same: When feeling down, listening to the most stupid and worthless ear worms of my youth invariably knocks my mood up a letter grad, The entire song catalog of Bread awaits you, Baby, they a-want you.

Better to work on the ego reduction now, so that when death is near there's less worry about what's next.

I had all 4 (I think) editions of the Laos guides. They changed very dramatically as the country got more tourists. In guide 1, they're talking about untouched Buddha-caves. In Guide 2, they're begging people not to steal the Buddha's.

Again, the victim complex knows no bounds. They're like ingenues holding their wrists to their foreheads and swooning -at the sheer, weighty unfairness.....of you know, everything. "Sure, Trump did everything, but what about muh fairness"?.

As long as I'm here, the Bible thumpers where I come from feared meditation. Quieting the mind = lubing up for Satan. The cure: more Jesus-praise. If you're praisin', you're c-blocking The Beast. If people on that wave length are writing killer songs and busting blood vessels singing them, I want in.

My former state income tax now pays for rent and health insurance for 2 people. Previously, all I got for that was the roads cleared during the winter.

When I was making fun of passport bro's on another board, PI was like 4 to 1 over Thailand. Their logic was that it was much easier to date doctors and dentists there.

I, an almost-Tory, Biden-type, raised a kid who became a Marxist professor at a name English Uni. He had a sweet gig pitching easy A's to various Gwen's and Toby's, until an influx of Chinese students killed his deal by calling him out as an improperly doctrinaire. What smoothed things over? A's for all! To posit Marxists as a threat in this world is like being afraid of men from Mars.

Agree with all of your points. When I got here a year ago, Russians were 10 a penny in the pot stores. Now, never seen. Those who could have already left, I met a guy yesterday from Siberia who had never smoked pot before. He said that his town was mostly empty of young males. Thailand will always be a draw because it's the East Meets West fantasy, so comfortably offered up. It was THE hedonism flavor, now it's one of many. For Indians, it's like their Carribean. And The Japanese too. I live in the upper soi numbers of Nimman. Restaurants are decorated to make this feel like mini-Kyoto. Every last new business being readied for the tourist season is oriented towards them. I can eat sponge cake-ish little desserts in 4 places within 5 minutes walk.

Andy Capp above here is pretending he's being censored, like Trump Trash always is. No one is stoping the cult from spewing. It's another completely made up victim claim.

2 Russians and a Brit. Can you even still pull white?

The way I see it, you're in the wrong goddamned thread. THIS thread is about the genius of gospel music -and the people who love it (not that many) or who love inspirational-type rock (a few). Complaining about lord-lovers in general would be a good OTHER thread for you to start. I broadly agree with you, but:

Don't know your guy. Early Thorn Tree (circa '97-200) was a heady time where anyone would meet anyone -and possibly even shag. I had 3 sordid hippie sex encounters from Lonely Planet. You should def meet up with people from here. I have, always good for a laugh.

Yeah, but no. I am a spiritual tourist, I like a little Allison Krause mixed in with my meditation process, and a little Sufi poetry in the mix. YOU don't want any of that. Fair enough. 99% of the people who do a 10 day silent meditation retreat in Thailand never meditate again. Did they waste their time? I say no. You say yes.

Trump says he has proof of his innocence, voter fraud, and that they're out to get him. He should want the trial tomorrow to clear everything up. No living republican says he's innocent. They just say he's being treated "unfairly".
