Flummoxed

I really wish I hadn't started this thread now. I expect it will be closed forthwith as it is not producing the answers I had hoped for. It's just turning into another hate thread amongst eachother.

Sorry mods, I won't take it as a snub if you close it.

Jeezus are we in to the BG season again ???    Like we havn't talked enoguh about it yet...

Maybe you should remember they are people like everybody else with feelings and emotions.

Sorry Darknight but who else am I gong to discuss it with, my Mother?!

You all know I'm not a troll so I post this question with confidence.

How many of you dumped a Bar Girl because you were on high alert all the time?

From where I'm standing, you are as likely to be happy with a bar girl as you are with a straight girl... if love is involved.

... but did paranoia, standard assumptions and prejudice from others, always looking over your shoulder because you're expecting the worse lead you to call it off. Did you ever regret it because you wondered if you were wrong to do so and you may have thrown away something great, just because everyone 'knows' it will end in tears and just because you 'knew' she would screw you over eventually.

So, tell me, do you ever go to sleep at night thinking about the BG who's heart you broke just because you got scared?

$100,000 in 8 months! You fool.

Lurked for a while, but the relaxed atmosphere and the fast pace of discussions lured me into becoming an active participant. Feels great to be here!

5555 You should have been here six months ago

a2396,

Seems to me that you're paying Mama about 35% of your income (based on your stated $500/mo.=20,000 Baht/mo.)

That is a staggering % cost -- and let's not forget that it is a till-she-dies commitment. 

Love notwithstanding, you're crippling yourself, man.  Get out of there fast.

Flummoxed,

What's happening with you?  Pass out?  Bring us uptodate, will you?  Regards

My eyes are dim eye cannot see, I have not brought my specs with ME!

The sun is the same in a relative way but your older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time. Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

Run rabbit run, dig that hole, forget the sun, when at last the work is done, don't sit down, it's time to dig another one.

I need a short telephone conversation translating. It may seem superficial to you but the subtleties are very important to me and will reveal volumes. A brief conversation with my wifes Mother and I'm sure she was lying to me but I need to know exactly what she said. I can rip it to a small mp3 file and send it to you if you are willing to spare 5 minutes for me and tell me exactly what she said to me.

Please PM me.

After all this time I still don't know what to do about my girl.

I will go out tonight and get absolutely bladdered... there's my answer.

I think I've gone quite insane... wibble... wibble... someone help me.

Is all this mental self torture worth it? I don't think so.

She is a bar girl manager and cashier of the bar i know she sees customers when im in England i do not sponsor her if every think worksout in april we will move into our new home start a business and she will not have to work job in bar no more if it goe's wrong you lose your money.All relationships are a gamble i hope mine works out to many people seem to think all Thai girls just want to rip you off that could be said for women all over the world just maybe this one is telling the truth i trust my girlfriend if she rips me off you can all have a good laugh and say i told you so.if it works out i will have a happy life in Thailand and it wiil have cost 600000 baht about £8000 a risk i am happy to take.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Put the 8 grand on a horse called 'Som nam na' in the 2:30 at newmarket... a safer bet by far buddy.

The fact that your happy for your girl to see customers in your absence repulses me.

Roooaaaxanne... you don't haver to wear that dress tonight,

Those days are over, I don't care if it's wrong or if it's right....

.... so put away your makeup,

I know my mind is made up...

Yeah, right

I'm going to marry my avatar,,, she's dependable. I can be as sure as the sun will rise in the morning and set in the evening that she will wiggle to the left and then to the right. She'll never let my down... ah, dependable, predictable...............boring

I have mixed emotions for you. On one hand I sympathise with you. On the other, I agree with the statement 'why didn't you sort this out beforehand'

I give my , erm, lovely as you say 10,000 a month, no more. I have been asked many times to help further, which I obliged (5000 here, 10,000 there) I was recently asked for 30,000 towards her young brother's dowry becuase he got his girlfriend up the duff. I refused point blank and drew the line under it and absolutely will not budge again, other than her monthly 10,000 baht.

In my case, I conclude that as she left the bar scene for me, I have some kind of obligation to support her... but I will not be taken advantage of.

This is part of an ongoing process during which she is unaware (maybe) that she is under the spotlight and being assessed by me.

I'm in England making a pile of money right now. Listening to her 30 minutes ago on the phone drunk as a skunk on new years eve 'tee ruk, why you never believe I not butterfly'... &lt;deleted&gt; i'm pissed off.

She never complains about the money I send her however. This is either because she has another sponsor i have yet to discover, or she's the genuine article. I haven't established for sure yet.

My kneejerk reaction to your situation is... get rid of her. Your parting words should be 'Thai man or Farang man, you get same money from me. Don't like?... Fukc off.'

Don't be manipulated. Plead poverty and you'll soon realise what she sees in you.

I'm particularly cynical today so don't listen to me. God I'm depressed.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

again...you're all been shafted

you're making a pile...save it ....then come to thailand and live a life of a riley

you don't need a permanent money sucker, and if you do, lay down the rules beforehand, heaven forbid she sticks to it

do what i do, live alone and take your casual picks, of which there are plenty

saves you money and you can fall in love a few times per month

The Thai Baht has so far not changed in the slightsest.

Without wishing to sound disrespectful to the dead or their families, only a very small part of the countries thin tourism veneer has been damaged. The country will not fall to peices. Thailand's tourism has undoubtebly been dealt a nasty blow but will bounce back before you know it.

Now Sri Lanka, they're in real trouble.

Try the English ladies from the Isle of Dogs mate... you'll really dig their accent.

What about the Pentium/Centrino debate? Lets have that.

Most new Laptops seem to have the Centrino, even so called desktop replacements. I understand the power saving advantage but surely the high end Pentium notebooks are the way for me to go?

Interesting this thread should crop up after so long, as I was thinking about starting a poll about my dilemma but that's another story and I might start it later.

My girl is an ex hooker. Standard doctrine would have you believe that marrying an ex-BG is a big mistake, that's why I worry day and night about her motive etc etc and antics away from me. She has/is proving me wrong at every turn, the absolute opposite of my previous TGF who robbed me, insulted me, cheated goodness only knows how many times, physically damaged me, etc etc etc.... whereas my current TGF is the most tranquil woman ever, treats me like a King (even though I often don't deserve it) scrubbs my skids, feeds me the most exquisite food with her limited experience as a conventional partner, loves me unconditionally, does not spend frivolously, trusts me, smiles at me when I wake up, makes my coffee just how I like it, even hands me the first cigarette of the day (including lighter) with my caffeine fix, makes love to me unselfishly, is forgiving when a kick her in my sleep when having one of my regular bad dreams...

I keep getting 'Does not compute' error messages in my brain. She shouldn't be this good. It doesn't add up. What have I missed here?

Flummoxed,

Any worthwhile analysis of the US dollar  should start with a thorough technical analysis of the US Dollar Index -- this plots the dollar against a basket of currencies.  It is a tool used by the pros and even we little guys rely on it heavily.

After getting a general idea of where this Index is trending, one can then pick the individual currency one is interested in and study it's relationship to the Dollar.

Here's my take, humbly given and wishing you the best of luck -

USD is going to blast-off to the stratosphere during 2005.  When will this blast-off begin?  IMHO, within 90 days from now and could even begin next week. If it hasn't started by March 31st, fire me.

If the USD takes off, the Thai Baht will plummet like a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest.

Hold dollars now and switch to Thai Baht in small quantities when necessary.

Ah! The joys of living in Thailand, playing the Dollar/Thai Baht and the bountiful Thai Stock market.  God, do I love it so!

You can't be serious?

Fair play to you if you're right.

WOW

As a note for British readers... Don't send cash to Thailand with UK royal Mail, even if insured. I did this and paid the insurance, the cash went walkies and the Royal Mail refused to honour the insurance.

The Post Office regulator advised me to take them to court as it would almost certainly go in my favour but I just don't have the time.

UK Royal Mail insurance isn't worth a shit.

Yangpuss must be wondering what he started
