    I am from the UK. No family here but had to end a beautiful

    relationship.

    Not a doctors daughter but not a bar girl either!

    What do you think it's like in the U.K.? There's an enormous bunch of BS waiting for you. There's no comparison.

  2. I was actually thinking of going home. I miss the U.S., but I have it too good here. I loved my city, Philadelphia, and have many memories. I don't think that exists anymore. Living expenses are one thing, but look at what's going on there and elsewhere in the world. I feel "locked up tight. and out of range" here. I think we could survive a nuclear war. I still don't understand what those "terrorists" with hand-grenades were doing here. It seems like a police-state there, and the dollar scares me.

  3. I have lived in both Bangkok and Pattaya. Got tired of the pollution mostly (which no one has mentioned so far). Why put yourself in that chemical soup?

    Now, 15 km. from Chiang Mai, I found my perfect spot in Thailand.

    Is that a bonano (not sure of the spelling) ape? It must be nice where you now live. Though a little slow. I stay Hua Hin, and like it.

  4. There was a billboard recently, at a large University, that had Hitler along with some superheroes. The article I read said that the students had no idea who he was or his historical significance. Given that's true, why would they include him on the billboard? This isn't the first such incident I've read about this. Their was another time that he and the Nazi's were celebrated here. At that time, it was explained as a fashion statement. I think I also read recently about something similar in Malaysia or Indochina. Are they anti-semetic? Actually, I don't think they know what that means. What's up?

  5. I'm struggling with this presently. I miss home, but I'm afraid that once I go home, I'll miss it here. It's happened before.

    The good about here is that it's cheaper. I'm in my late 60's, and the girls, though pretty, aren't as important as it was before. However, it's still a plus. I feel safe where I am here, and pay half the rent I would pa at home.

    The good things about home are it's home. Better medical coverage. Not as prone to be taken advantage of. For some reason, I think I'd feel more comfortable there. The food.

    Anyway, I'm giving some serious thought to going home.

  6. Teebaht?

    Like any other word, it can mean many things. We (a girl I've known for a long time) were taking motor-bikes in Bangkok, and her driver recognized us. She said he called us teeluk. I took it to mean, by the smile on her face, that it meant my farang ATM.

  7. I wonder who really had the power. He's too dim to run a hairdryer let alone an aggressive military power. It must have been those shadowy figures who always stood by his shoulder.

    Whoever wrote his little speech should be sacked. How on earth could he be prompted to say words to the effect that 'he doesn't 'feel sorry for them' and that they were 'volunteers' in war'? He never did have much in the way of speaking skills, I suppose.

    They were basically cannon fodder.I wonder if G.W. will ever face a war crimes trial. Cheney (sp?) called the shots for the military-industrial demons.

    I just discovered the RT network here. It's the anti-Fox news channel. I think it's from Russia, but they seem to know what is really going on. It's scary.

  8. It's usually to find people who have smoked yaba or ice. Apparently, the police don't need some indication that someone has done anything wrong. The penalty is whatever the police can get in cash from the guilty.
