now that's funny...

no advantages I can see...

It's always a pleasure to have a smart wife...

Oh! No! - Don't slay that potato that never done nothing to you. - - Tom Paxton

False - maybe for the Thais but not all others.. Welcome home Thai people!!

Physical love fades...

We would only say it to someone we are actually married to... and so I thought, you guys were all a bit funny. Been on the ship for too long.

buy a bit - sell a bit.

(Is it in his eyes?) Oh, no, you'll be deceived (Is it in his sighs?) Oh, no, he'll make believe (Or is it in his face?) Oh, no, it's just his charms (In his warm embrace?) Oh, no, that's just his arms

I lived in an outer province and they required a medical certificate which cost me 20 baht and had no examination. One nurse told me I seemed to walk ok - another looked at my palm.I filled out all my own forms as there was no agent there. I am now in a place where there are agents who will fill out all the appropriate forms and it is a breeze for a small fee. I love my agent. I am in and out of immigration in less than 5 minutes.

If you look at most violent crimes involving farang, it occurs in Pattaya/Phuket, after midnight and alcohol is involved... random violence is otherwise quite rare,,, and usually takes 2 to tango - - if you do not get involved in violent incidents back home, you are not likely to have problems here.

Sure, I know sing sing sing but never saw it performed.... Spectacular... My grandpa was a drummer with the Big bands - Dorseys etc... He died when I was 4 years old...

I remember the night sky from places like New Mexico and Wyoming... there are a couple of places that I have heard mentioned nearby for night sky viewing...

Where's the Wishniak?

what time should I be there? I have bad instincts in the kitchen... I am lucky to be alive...

As in my new GF is loose so I don't want to lose her...

Of course... did you not understand that I was having a bit of fun... ??

stick with the program... he prefers "loose"

True love? You will find the same peace of mind when you stop sending money, texting and forget about her.... I am sorry but there are plenty of other girls on Soi 6 who will be glad to help with delusions/fantasies for a price. I don't say that with bitterness or sarcasm. They provide a wonderful service. They make you feel young and even handsome, needed and wanted. It is the closest thing ever to a fountain of youth and if you can believe, for most, it is worth the price. Save the money you might spend on helping some old guy w/a spy fantasy and spend it on a young lady who will help you with the fountain of youth fantasy. "The trouble with reality is that it never lives up to my greatest fantasies" - I think that was from an oddball movie in the early 70s...

Enjoy your life - -

For me, I am glad I am here - I have been here a long time, I would not want to be anywhere else.

I am only hanging around for the punchline

When my Mom was 86 she told me that there were giant boulders that would come to the house and talk to her... though she never worked at Nasa... This is true - she told me that, not that it happened.

Yes, but there are special treatments that are new, experimental here and expensive at the only hospital to offer the treatment and it was a public hospital. . Her treatment went on for months and surely saved her life. It was not available anywhere else in Thailand. This was not a matter of staying in a comfy room. I don't know the system, but I.assume not every option is 30 baht. And yes, I was paying the hospital bills directly. There were additional expenses of spending months in a condo near the hospital and paying aides to care for her during this time. I did not keep track of all the expenses involved. And that are ongoing 4 years later. She has a rare and incurable disease which with lots of attentive care, is mostly in remission the last 9 months. If you are coming to live here with no medical insurance, things can happen.

I spent near 5 million in a few months on my wife's medical issue. One incident. And her lingering medical issue adds on from there... Prices are probably double what they were 5-10 years ago. We also take care of many expenses for the family including medical. Can you deny emergency medical for your wife's dad? All you need is a pencil and paper to figure what you need today, but figuring the future is a crapshoot... and medical will likely be your biggest unknown... as well as how you handle investments and inflation...
