Rutnin Clinic in Bangkok... used to be one of the best eye clinics in the world...

Money is cheaper and easier these days...

Sure, when you are 116 it is merely middle aged...

They do things for me all the time - we have a family compound and someone is always cooking something which they offer me all the time. They take care of anything that I might need. They take care of the dogs when we go away. Yes, I contribute financially which is very easy for me. I like them and want to see them have a good life. What are you not seeing? When you live together with a family in a communal way, that is assimilation and integration. We all help each other in any way we can. When my wife's dad was being diagnosed, his life imminently in the balance, he left medical decisions to me. Though it was a responsibility I did not want, he trusted me more than his own or anyone else's judgment... There are rewards of closeness that you may not see. And if you are not the giving sort, they may not be there for you. This is not necessarily the case for others.

What is an Almera and how would that help in an emergency????

A chance to prove yourself out. Will you be helpful or not?

Integration takes time and circumstances to prove out... how helpful will you be in a family emergency?

maybe it is just an opinion?

MLB Gamepass - there is nothing like a baseball game to put me to sleep. The Mets look like they will be awful this year... zzzzzz

Not B.S. - write a Will....

You surely must understand that when someone lies about some things, they lose credibility on pretty much all things... since you are going to be 80 this year [and hopefully don't choke on that statement of fact] , surely you must understand that in both Thai and English...

I don't post sad icons [but if the shoe fits] - or use idiotic IIRC and whatever silly acronyms think make you look smart... .00009%

River... and most of the cuts from Blue... I spent a month living in Matala where Joni had preceeded me living in one of the many caves...

Maybe they subtract some points for your lies and blatant braggadocio?

My father was very smart in business and math, which he used to disguise what a jerk he was... It took me until about 30+ years of age to realize that he promises things but doesn't deliver. He was a screwed up guy, but that doesn't mean that I was not smart enough not to repeat his mistakes. You live, you watch and you learn, even if that is merely what not to be...

My wife's best friend works as a maid in Bkk... she is getting on in years, but she is in demand - she may have a couple of days a week free if that helps. I have known her personally for over 20 years. PM me for more info.

What have we here? Same frog

We have to go to New Hampshire? It's cold there - I prefer to stay home... my home is designed to be more comfortable than a resort...

To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe To bear with unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go To right the unrightable wrong To love pure and chaste from afar To try when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star This is my quest to follow that star No matter how hopeless, no matter how far To fight for the right without question or pause To be willing to march into Hell for a heavenly cause And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest And the world will be better for this That one man, scorned and covered with scars Still strove with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable star This is my quest to follow that star No matter how hopeless, no matter how far To fight for the right without question or pause To be willing to march into Hell for a heavenly cause

I sleep with the remote and adjust according to comfort...
