save the frogs

haha, brain worm. forgot about that one.

there's charities that take furniture in my neck of the woods. and they have trucks and pick up for free. but funny story.

He doesn't seem like a "laughing stock" in front of the President of Italy in this clip. I don't know where you people are getting your information from. Your thread is a laughing stock, maybe.

And that's why I don't think it's a good idea to encourage this practice in Thailand as the same thing will eventually happen here.

Exactly. You got it.

of course the obligatory weekly road rage incident

Yeah, he's already been defeated. He's drowning his sorrows in a bottomless bottle of Jack Daniels. This article title is "trash talk", like when 2 boxers meet up before a fight and say "I'm gonna kick your butt".

Do you think you might be getting a bit carried away posting the same diatribes in multiple threads?

haha, sexpats in thailand complaining about "sex pests". getting desperate much?

He has at least 6 economic advisers. That doesn't mean what he's doing will work out. Sometimes even the best economists make bad decisions. But he's not an impulsive maniac like you pretend. Trump's Economic Whisperers https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/10/business/economy/trump-economic-advisers-bessent.html

It's your opinion that he doesn't have a small army of economists advising him. People think he's an unhinged lunatic because they see him on the news talking trash. You don't see the meetings going on behind the scenes.

Because when you remove a Band-Aid, do you remove is slowly or just rip it off?

I'm going to the same restaurant daily now. Because it's close to me, it's clean, the waitresses are nice, and the food is reasonably priced. I am not tipping. Loyalty to the same restaurant is good enough, as far as I'm concerned.

you wear flip flops and wife-beaters? you have a bunch of tattoos on your forehead?

such is life when money is hard to come by. i don't find people back home particularly friendly either unless you're helping them in some way. it's human nature.

I don't know. If that's the case, then there must be some sort of agreement with the other countries. Then maybe my theory is off.

The govts want pensioners to keep pumping money into the local economy. Since you are spending all your pension in Thailand, this is one way of punishing people for not contributing to the local economy in the UK. Call it what you will. They see it as unfair that all pension money is being spent in another country.

Because bananas seem to make me fat .... I'm cutting them out ... maybe my body has trouble handling all that sugar. And because as one cardiologist put it, breakfast cereals "set your arteries on fire."

Yeah, keep ditching the backstabbing ones. Even if you spend a fortune on them, it doesn't guarantee loyalty. You will waste time and money and get hurt.

If you spend enough time with any woman, you can start to get attached.

Yeah, because it's monkey branching. They're keeping a line open with another male in case things fall through with you. I'm on the same page as you, but good luck because it seems most women operate the same way.

"friends" with a female ... what a joke. with an "ex" on top of it ... someone you couldn't quite work things out with enough to stay together .... you had to split up because you couldn't tolerate each other ... because there were no more feelings ... the love died ... the passion died ... you found someoene better. I don't stay in touch with exes. What's the point? women are for Sex and Love and passion. and raising kids. what do you talk about? what's the price of eggs now where you are? oh, did you find somebody better? is he better in bed? I stay far the hell away from exes. Nothing more pointless. It's a failed project. Move on. Do you contact former employers too? And I'm old-fashioned. I like women taking care of family, not having 500 "Facebook friends".

I just watched this recently .... personally, I am on board with this philosophy ... Watch the GRAINS in the diet ... It's not the high cholesterol in foods like eggs that is causing heart problems.
