As a retired English professor, rather a lot! I'll be happy to recommend some if you'd like to try. 🙂

Interesting comment. Would you care to explain just how people are being dragged down to their (or did you mean 'your?') level of self-loathing? 'Loathing' connotes extreme disgust; a feeling of aversion, nausea, abhorrence, or detestation. Those of us who enjoy the posts don't feel that. Is that what you feel when you read Lewie's posts? Very interesting! Even knowing it's fiction, you react that way? Aren't you worried that it's happening to you as well, seeing that you post in every one of Lewie's threads? Also interesting is the fact that you are unable to ignore his posts. I wonder why?

And yet, you've clicked on each of his post threads several times. If there is no need to reply, why do you do it?

That's the 'result' of your name-calling. I'm asking why you feel it necessary to hurt other people's feelings?

Why do you find it necessary to call people names?

Another 'Thanks!' to Lewie for yet another slice of Pattaya life. I didn't care for this one as much as the others. It was missing that little bit of drama so necessary to build a story's climax. That said, it was still a pleasant read over my morning cup of Keemun tea! Thanks again, Lewie! Please keep 'em coming!

Why should he reply? He is posting a piece of fiction. He knows it. We know it. The only ones who don't seem to be able to grasp that are the ones that need to bitch and moan daily. Makes sense to me. Aren't you even a little bit embarrassed? 'Fiction' IS all made up. That's why it's called 'fiction.' That's funnier than many of the stories I read these days. Who is going to pay anyone to create these? I doubt AN gets any value from you reading Lewie's posts. What WE get is 3 minutes of pleasant reading, then a few days laughing at the complainers. AN doesn't get much from this at all.

Watch and wait for it to finish. Like Phil Ochs said; 'I ain't marching any more.' 'Now the labor leader's screamin' when they close the missile plants United Fruit screams at the Cuban shore Call it peace or call it treason Call it love or call it reason But I ain't a-marching anymore No, I ain't a-marching anymore It's always the old to lead us to the wars Always the young to fall Now look at all we've won with the saber and the gun Tell me is it worth it all?'

I think it's those old cliches that I so enjoy! It's like 'The Perils of Pauline' meets Modern Pattaya!

Wow. Just wow.

We really do need a 'face palm' emoji...

Just a quick, serious question, if I may... If you don't like it, why do you keep reading it? Please answer this.

And yet another delightful tale of the life and loves of Lewie London! Thanks, Lewie! Your imagination, combined with a touch of AI, turns a routine morning into a fun romp, making a delightful read over a cup of 'Madur's' Assam tea! Again, to those calling Lewie a 'liar?' Can you really be that oblivious to what's going on? It's almost as comical as Lewie's stories! Certainly to those of us reading what you write! Please keep that up too, with my thanks! It's rather like the icing on the cake! 🙂

Sorry, Lewie. I missed this one when you posted it. Another pleasant read over my morning tea; today, a nice cup of PG Tips. To those who continue to accuse Lewie of 'lying,' I'm impressed. Not many would choose to willfully ignore the obvious just for the chance to complain.

Frankly, I find the complaints almost as entertaining as the original story!

You must be kidding. There is no 'easy way' to quit smoking. I'm sorry we don't have a sarcasm emoji. However, you stand a very good chance of being successful. Your mindset about quitting is right. You never once used the words 'try' or 'trying' to quit. You used the word 'determined.' The offer of help is still there. 🙂

Keep ‘em coming! Much better than ‘where’s the best hamburger?’ Or “Do you like the Walking Street? I remember those smoking rooms back when I was hooked. Horrible even for a serious smoker. Stopping was the best thing I’ve done! Anyone wanting help to stop smoking, feel free to ask about ‘the easy way.’

A nice Darjeeling tea to accompany this morning's read. Lewie, good... but not up to your usual standards. I'm looking forward to a more involved storyline tomorrow.

I agree! It's like those old 'Two Minute Mysteries' that used to be in the newspapers every day! 2-3 minute read and fun to think about. (By the way, those 2-minute mysteries are still available online for mystery buffs to solve. )

The package I received last week said 'Kerry.' If there was a name change, it hadn't caught up with the labels yet.

Thanks for another delightful read to accompany my morning tea! Please keep up the fun stuff! And to the people complaining that this is all fake or AI-created... Does anyone actually think for one moment that the author thinks he is creating non-fiction? That takes a special kind of stupid. But to read it each day and then bitch about it? That's extra special.

There are lots of Kerry shops all around town. Are they ALL closed? I just received a package from Kerry (or whatever namechange) a couple of days ago,

This explains a lot. Well then, I guess you really don't need to read books! And now we get to the root of the problem... Fear. A fear that reaches deep into the very core of your understanding. It explains a lot. I'm truly sorry to hear it, and I hope you are able to address it successfully.

Have you considered the remote possibility that he's not jogging to lose weight? Perhaps he's jogging for muscle exercise and aerobic conditioning? When many people exercise, weight loss has little to do with their motivation.

Would you take a minute to clear up a few things for us? Which foods are gay and which are straight? I'd hate to be sending out the wrong message. Is it based on the shape of the food? Or is it the country of origin?
