Music changes as new generations mature I listen to stations which call themselves 'classic rock' Seems like only yesterday to me, yet the kids would never dream of listening to it. Welcome to the world of getting older, and unfortunately sounding just like your parents who railed against 'rock n roll'

I have no idea if it's a problem. But SS pulls your earnings record from the IRS which determines what you're going to get. I always filed even when I knew I didn't have to just to keep the books clean so to speak. Oh and btw, you don't have to sign up for Medicare Part A thats automatic and free, but you do need to figure out if you want to pay for Part B , which living in Thailand you can't use, but it's that 'Oh Shi****t I need to go home' failsafe

I had to google what 'bell end' meant, but seems to fit the man. I'm incorporating the phrase into my lexicon, since I think I know couple of guys who also fit the description, albeit not with the Royal pedigree

It's not even Trump proposing this but Josh Hawley. It's never going to even get close to passing, but it's a great suck up to Trump's ass. I've voted Rep in the past, but now I wonder why we even have Congress It appears a man with a Sharpie is all it takes DOGE should just fire all of Congress, who needs them!

As a young man I started visiting through work in the 80's and 90's and 2000's and loved it Granted I was a tourist and my experience was central London and the tourist traps. I loved the museums, the art galleries, of course the palaces We went back a few years ago for a friends wedding in England and afterwards spent a couple of days in London. My wife loved it, and it was almost exactly as I remembered it from years ago

Well I've posted many times, our reason to leave Thailand permanently was my boredom. But we move back and forth which for us is ideal. I'm gonna be having some back surgery in the next month or so, and we're thinking, get me over initial recovery then a couple of months at our house in Thailand is the perfect place to decompress and recoup, before getting back to reality My wife works for the military. Ellsworth AFB is shut down until November while they upgrade the runway, so she's unemployed, so perfect timing But a couple of months in Thailand I have to say will be enough, and we'll have had our fill of LaLa land for this year

I think it has to be a little dehumanizing to have sex without attraction, But the same could be said of the men who frequent the nightlife I've not had too many sexual encounters in my life, but they all were to a greater or lesser extent based on a romantic relationship. Back in the day I don't think we did the hook up thing that much, and to be honest I could give myself a hand job and feel just as good. I read on AN so many stories of the guys that pay for the ladies night after night, I think they are as damaged as the girls!

Well a full on war between these two I suspect isn't going to be bombing Bangkok and Phnom Penh. It would rather be a 'handbags at dawn' kinda cat fight I think

I didn't/haven't ever once talked in the real world about TVF/Asean or whatever else they morph into So JT just relish the fact you may be a virtual TVF celeb, but I'd knock the 'making money' on the head idea, probably a non starter. Today you gotta a pretty/handsome human to become a TikTok influencer And maybe I'm just getting old but I struggle to even get the 'influencer' thing

Spain is wonderful. I'm from the CA central valley, child of farm workers, so No Shi***t Sherlock I speak Spanish. Of course I don't have their snooty lisp, so I sound like a hick. Portugal; folks seem to think Spanish, Portuguese, Italian speakers we can all understand each other I understand Portuguese like English speakers understand German. I'll get certain words but thats about it Both countries are great, but don't expect cheap. In the English speaking ecosphere both countries are dominated by the Brits, so hope you love fish n chips and bangers and mash Moving to the US, California is all over the map. The coastal cities are insanely expensive. I lived in the Bay Area and San Diego for years and I loved it, today no way. My youngest daughter still lives in San Diego and I don't know how they do it. My wife loves San Diego when we visit, but hates the traffic and the hoards of people But inland and up North its like a different world, the crowds and the traffic are gone, and the prices are back to real world

I think I'll stick with my brainiac and you play with the infantial bar girls, I think I know who wins in the end

So a woman with a brain is 'problematic'?

Honestly with the exception of BKK, Pattaya and the islands, get dropped into any Thai city you wouldn't know where the heck you were, Issan or wherever they all look the same

Boredom to be honest I'd retired too early at 55, and after a few years I was bored outta my skull, only so many books you can read, TV to watch and I don't play golf! I tried to volunteer to teach English at the local HS, but of course ran into the Thai only thing, wasn't looking to get paid, which I think is the definition of 'work' My wife was already piss$$ed off with her job, a women engineer in Thailand who's smarter than the guys is always a problem So we figured it was time to go Still enjoy our time there, now as tourists couple of times a year

That is one of those classic and iconic movie scenes, hard to beat
