  1. The story I heard was that that freak Johnson stuck his nose in where it didn't belong and pissed off Putin by trying to edge closer to his border which was previously agreed upon not to do. So Bob must also be happy about the migrant invasion into the Isle of Smiles. Takes all to make this world wobble.
  2. Demonrats have always loved their masks. KKK, Covid & Protesting. Now if we can just get the fuglly ones to wear them.
  3. Looks to me like he's good at cutting the fat, corruption interruption and waste as well. It's high time you <removed> people got a grip on reality, much like this clown in the article. I'd like to see lunatic asylums built with the saved money that usually goes to the Demoncrats and their ilk.
  4. I'm loving watching the Demonrats' trough getting filled with concrete. It's high time they searched for a real job and made to live like the rest of us. It's plainly obvious all the furor taking place is a result of the cash cow being slaughtered. Long overdue, it's reality time. Next will be street wars again but this time it won't end well for the mucky mucks. Examples will be made of and hopefully the asylum constructions will begin, thus freeing up housing for deserving souls.
  5. I can't wait for the drama. It's going to be the best soap opera on you tube.
  6. You have to count in the immigration lines... but why go from 1 hellhole to another?
  7. Is this more Harris joy? Try California cupcake.
  8. One of the things I loved about Thailand when I first came in 2011 was how the Thais are quite family orientated and how the small communities supported each other. It was very refreshing. The following year I met my wife. What a breath of fresh air she is compared to the plasticized women of my home country. I had been single for the previous 25 years before meeting her on Phi Phi and I had no intention of ever marrying again after a short marriage in the late 70's. Initially we opened a small pub & restaurant with 3 upstairs rooms to let on Koh Lanta. We married the following year. At this point in time we were travelling back and forth every 6 months for 6 months while I worked and then we returned to run the bar again for 6 months. She ran that for 5 years and we employed several family members who were not working at the time and left them there to look after things while we were away. She grew tired of the long hours at the pub ( and maybe me having too much fun ...lol...kidding I hope ) and let me know that she had always dreamt of having her own farm back in her home village. After hearing this 3 times over the following month I took it more seriously. We decided to reinvest in some land. The following year, 2019, we were free to start work on the farm. Wy wife's Mom was not feeling well so we came over to see her for the month of December. Mom was not doing well so my wife stayed to look after her and I returned back to work. Then Covid hit. Mom passed that summer, which meant no one was there to help my wife's sister, who is wheel chair bound. So the next 2 years were spent building the house, employing her brothers, sons, nephews and others who were now out of work in Bangkok and had returned back to the village ( Population 200 ). Me staying and working due to the travelling restrictions and then crazy quarantine requirements afterwards. In the winter of '22, once the house was completed, I decided only to work part time, and remotely, and finally came back over to see the house. They did a fantastic job and I was more than pleased. One thing led to another and we soon had a houseful. They say you marry the family along with your wife. I guess it's true. So, as a family, we are building up the farm so that the children will have something to work on when in the event that I may pass, doubtful but probable....lol. I'm proud of my last life project and wouldn't change a thing. Never been much of a "class" type guy, but I believe we live much better than a lot of our neighbors who depend on rice and rubber harvests. We always seem to manage, eat well and not wanting much for anything, although a few more beers per month wouldn't hurt.
  9. I turn 70 next month. I married "my nurse" who is 18 years younger 10 years ago. We own 4 Rai in rural Ubon. We built a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom & 2 kitchen large rancher. We have a paid off 2014 Toyota pickup we bought new, 3 motor bikes, 3 dogs & 7 cats. My wife's 3 young adult children, daughters fiancée, 1 grandson, sister & nephew all living here with my wife and I. We have a small hobby farm with chickens & ducks and are just starting crayfish. We just get by on my $60,000 Baht per month but we all eat healthy and have a few beer from time to time.
  10. I flew to Canada last summer via China & return via Japan. They had smoking rooms at both airports. They are enclosed with exhaust fans. No problems for non-smokers. Don't know why they have their panties in a knot over this. I have never heard a complaint anywhere, anytime. Leave the smokers alone, after a 12 hr. flight with babies crying a guy needs a smoke.
  11. Definately need more pooper places all over this country. Also need way more garbage cans.
  12. "Robert F. Kennedy Jr. feeding blended baby chickens and mice to his hawks." Yet abortion is OK. Some broads are just dumb.
  13. There's a big difference between inside and outside peeing. Get real goofy.
  14. Yes, there was a lot of frog jumping going on. The other thing that has always bothered me is the people passing on the left on a single lane. One time on Koh Lanta it happened to us just as we were pulling over. The bike didn't see our turn signal as she was past the bumper. The driver stopped just in time but the girl hit the front bumper and fell over. We dusted her off and took her over to a restaurant for a soda. Her boyfriend came and they demanded $4000 baht for the scrapes on her bike. My Swedish friend had a house amongst the Muslim community so he agreed to pay. He then came to me for $2000 baht because I was the reason he was on the road as he was taking me to the recycle depot. I had a pub & restaurant at the time and gave my friends a break on prices. Once my "friend" started paying regular prices I didn't see him too much. Definitely not enough times for me to recoup my $2000. If I wouldn't of yelled at him to stop, as I saw the gal sneaking by, we would of probably run her and the bike over. Only Buddha knows what would have happened then.
