  1. I'm on number 4 too. Number 1 turned into a meth tweeker. The court gave her custody of my 18 month old daughter. Number 2 turned into a lesbian. I actually thought she was gay when I first met her. Then it was, "I guess not." Then she went to Desert Storm 1 and came back with a crush on her girlfriend who was very hetero. She found a gay girlfriend and that was it. I saw it before she did. <Interlude> I got custody of my 11 year old daughter after her tweeker mom abandoned her. My daughter was a really tough kid. I had to turn her into a normal kid. Number 3 was significantly younger than me and I met her while finishing university at the ripe at of 39, she was mid-20s. I was in incredibly athletic shape and was consistently pegged as being in my late 20s. However, she was around when my daughter was killed at 18 years old. That was tough no doubt, but 9 years later she finished college, had a job waiting for her, and moved in with her "lab partner" who was younger than her. I took early retirement at 55, said "F**k it" and books a flight from LAX to BKK after divorcing her and never looked back. We pretty much split everything except my retirement. She signed that over to me considering she had a lucrative job and I was now unemployed. I was done with the US and farang women - "Hello SEA!" Number 4 is 8 years younger than me which now puts her in her mid-60s. We have a novel relationship that works and it's lasted 18 years, way longer than the first three. If we came into money, we'd split it. with portions going to her, my stepson, the local temple and me. Greed doesn't define our relationship.
  2. "How much trouble could I get in on a little scooter that I've never rode before and for which I've never had any training and for which I don't have a motorcycle endorsement on my drivers license at home."
  3. Thailand's Grim Motorcycle Death Toll Sparks Helmet Campaign Thailand's grim motorcycle death toll sparks ฿฿฿฿฿ in the minds of government officials and becomes the proximate cause for a new revenue collection campaign. There, fixed it.
  4. Trump threatens to cut Musk's government contracts as their public feud escalates. That bromance dissolved about as quickly as I thought it would. Up next: he'll turn over most of his cabinet by the end of the year.
  5. In that case, if she had those assets before your marriage, she's pretty much entitled to the funds when she sells them. However - saying, "I'm not sharing any of this with you, farang," is rather greedy. You do support her and your kid, right. And yet when the fickle winds of fate change direction, it's "P*ss-off farang, you get nothing." If she obtains money it sounds like perhaps she'll trade you in for a new model. Realistically I had my wife sign a prenup.
  6. The changes of getting tetanus in Thailand is about 1 in 100,000. If she has ever had a tetanus shot she does have some immunity. But - if you're worried, get that second opinion. FYI, flu and upper respiratory infections are going around too. It's probably something other than tetanus.
  7. If you're worried, go and get a second opinion. Hopefully you're only badmouthing the doctor behind an avatar. Defamation is criminal and Thais seem to like to play the defamation card.
  8. Do you have a new account bob smith?
  9. You can unfortunately smell them for 100 meters away.
  10. Where you can get a PhD in gender studies.
  11. In the meanwhile, I still have to submit a ream of paper every year for an extension.
  12. Wait until ChatGPT hallucinates and the Thai Immigration IOs act on made-up information.
  13. So have the cops started a dragnet to arrest all of the Thais who tagged the wall before him. Don't get me wrong, I don't condone the behavior, but Thailand needs to clean up it's own backyard before condemning stupid tourists. "Foreigners disrespect temple wall." Yet not a peep about your own citizens who don't seem to give a rip about your historic and sacred walls in their own country.
  14. Thais tagging temples you mean. For every "tourist" tagging a temple, there are 30 Thais who started before them.
  15. US tourist has sparked controversy by "defacing" a historical temple wall already covered with Thai graffiti. There, fixed it!
  16. "Golden Age for America?" When I left America I could afford to live there without a problem. Now? Housing costs are obscene. As a US veteran I might be able to obtain a housing voucher, but probably not given their rarity so there would be a real possibility that I'd be living rough on the street. Illegal immigrants are given priority housing and free medical in the state where I used to live. Average rent for a studio apartment is $1600. Rent has essentially tripled since I left. I spent eight years serving the country where I no longer can afford to live. So, the Golden Age for America? The American Dream is isn't even on life-support - it's a dead rotting corpse. And the American citizens are bent over a Trump stump and are given a golly good rogering by the wealthy including Trump. Yeah, it's a Golden Age for Trump, his family, and his friends as well as Congress and the Senate which manufactures millionaires on a congressional salary. F**k the rest of us and especially US veterans.
  17. Well written article. Had Vietnam had a retirement visa option, I wouldn't be here.
