and you are welcome to do so, but that doesn't mean it applies to all. My father never gave up anything for me- he certainly didn't do it for sex. He never remarried or had a G F after the divorce.

IMO your views on the subject are erroneous. Why do you think only sex addicts marry those younger women? Could it be because women their own age don't want sex at all? Wanting a sex life with someone we like is not a deviant lifestyle- it is completely normal.

Did you not see where the OP said " No bogans, chavs or wannabes."? However, I always stopped at Pai on the bit of road where honeymooners can get their photo taken in front of a big heart thing. Great scenery and lots of nice restaurants. I only made the mistake of going through the area the bagpackers hang out once- the horror the horror.

I thought her family was OK first visit. Wasn't till I lived with them that they showed their true colours. Of course some families are wonderful and some ratbags, just like in the west.

Couldn't count the times I've wanted to do that to some brat let run wild by their revolting parent. Of course in this brave new world I'd never act on the desire. I'm surprised that his corpse hasn't been given the same treatment as Oliver Cromwell's on January 30 1661 for that movie clip.

You were lucky. Nearest 7 11 to my ex's was a 2 hours bus trip way.

I like that saying. The only area I never went in LOS was Issan. I once thought about it but the GF slapped the idea out of me.

Best advice I've seen so far. One can get to meet them without being held hostage. If the OP ever feels he needs to escape he can say he's tired and has to go back to the hotel for a rest.

Nailed it. The idea that any man is "experienced" with women has me chortling fit to bust. However, some guy that had it off with a few slappers behind the dumpster might be fooling himself that he knows it all about humans without a penis- he doesn't. IMO women have been making a living off men since they lived in caves while men went off to risk their lives fighting the sabre tooth tiger to bring home the dinner.

Never happened to me. However they did steal everything they could after the divorce.

a/ if you like her and think there is some hope of a real relationship eventuating go. Then you can see what her parents are like and if you want to live with someone that might end up like them. b/ You can also see where you'll be living if it gets to the stage that she wants you to live with her in Issan. Just Issan might be enough to put you off. C/ Are you sure the kid really is sick and it's not a variation of the sick buffalo thing? PS I doubt that is "love" you are feeling- rather another word starts with l.

Lots of us do, but lots of us are stupid too. I did, but I was stupid back then. I didn't make that mistake second time.

If that was my Thai sister in law, not only would she have not thanked me, but she'd have said that she didn't ask me to save her! In some countries one doesn't help anyone because that could lead to one being liable for any injury or death that occurred. One of the first things I was told on orientation in Saudi was to not help anyone out on the street, as if they died it was my fault and I'd be prosecuted for it. I was also told that if I was in a taxi and it was in an accident to throw some money at the driver and RUN, as it would have been my fault the taxi was there. Does that sound like a country you know? Better countries have Good Samaritan laws to protect those that help from prosecution.

If the OP was in the restaurant at the time the victim started choking, death would take more than a few seconds, so there would have been time to ask the victim if they needed help. I sometimes take something "down the wrong way" and cough a lot, which if someone else saw it might look like choking, but does not require any intervention. PS if the victim is actually obstructed they can't talk, but they will indicate the problem in some way, usually by pointing at their mouth, or so the training VDO I saw showed. Thankfully I never had to do the maneuver on anyone ( yet ). IMO everyone should do a first aid course as the person who's life they save may be someone they love.

Thank you for that clarification.

PS, doing a Heimlich maneuver on oneself if no one is around to help would still be the option as it is rather hard to slap oneself on the back.

Thank you for that update. I stand corrected. In my defense it is many many years since I retired and did a first aid course ( we did them yearly ). In my time only babies were to be given a ( light ) back slap. They might have changed the routine because the maneuver might cause some trauma eg broken ribs if done improperly. Many things changed during my time eg we no longer did a finger sweep for CPR as it was determined that we might just push an obstruction down further. However, from the OP the guy rushing in just started slapping on the back without checking to see if the victim was indeed obstructed, no encouraging to cough, and no mention of bending him over to give the slaps.

Given the British establishment penchant for sending everything to the scrap yard it's lucky to still be in existence. Far as I know not a single British battleship exists and the Belfast required public support to be saved. Unlike the USA which has preserved quite a few historical machines of various sorts. IMO the British establishment are historical vandals.

Only reason I can come up with for those women to want to have kids with ancient men is that IMO they provide a guaranteed income till the kid is at least old enough to get a job. I can't work out why the ancient men want more kids.

The girl can always refuse, unless you are suggesting that they are forced to marry old farangs. Perhaps they'd rather be exploited than live in poverty. BTW, nurses have long been exploited in western countries because they won't go on strike for a decent wage, so are you going to lobby the government to raise nurse wages to what they deserve, or is it OK because no old men are involved in shagging them?

Errrr, if he "coughed up the food" from a slap on the back it likely wasn't obstructing his windpipe- probably just in his mouth. To push out food obstructing the windpipe takes the Heimlich maneuver to create enough pressure to do that.

I learned long ago that no good deed goes unpunished. The last time I tried to be nice to someone I didn't know was when I sold a device to a neighbour and said he could pay me when he could afford to. 3 months later paid hardly anything, though never short of fags or booze. Lesson learned- don't be nice to people I don't know.

Would that have been me? I'd never hit anyone on the back for choking as the proper procedure is to reach around from the back and do the Heimlich maneuver. Don't know how to do it- find out as the life you save might be someone you love. Perhaps he had a case of something gone down the wrong way and coughing, but not obstructed- happens to me occasionally. That might explain why he was PO about some stranger rushing in and hitting him.

Yes. I gave up sugar as much as possible, no more cake, chocolate, soft drink with sugar etc. Lost a lot of weight and no progression towards diabetes ( far as I know ). Luckily there are many sugar substitutes available, so I can still have soft drinks without sugar. Unfortunately, most processed food seems to be full of sugar.

Given the amount my western ex partner took me for when we broke up ( legally she was married even if no bit of paper ) I'd have been better off if I'd used prostitutes. I'd also have actually had sex, unlike our sexless relationship. It was a high price to pay for a bit of conversation.
