The Reality of The Anti-British Brigade on These Forums
I suspect that 80% of the members of AN are British so I I think its mostly a blood on blood feud

Thinking of an international marriage, new USA rules.
Troubled times Back in the day Mrs G applied for her Green Card at the then USCIS office in BKK over the road from the US Embassy, took 100 days from start to finish For a man married to multiple Eastern European women who's immigrant position is curious Any while we're talking about curious Remember back in the day of the the first Trump Pres it was all all about first preference immigration How do we actually think, Melania's parents came to the US There is no way a used car salesman and textile worker would get a get a green card unless Melania had petitioned for them

Mexico fixing to lower residency financial requirements
I'm Hispanic so I speak Spanish. I would move to Mexico in a heartbeat but my wife doesn't speak Spanish and at her age it would be hard. My family comes from Guadalajara a city I love Not sure how much cheaper it would be living there vs the US My cousins live a very similar life to us in the US and as far as I can tell it costs about the same

Stranded Aussie Pensioner Pleads for Return Home
Families are complicated. I suspect he's estranged from them, you'd think if a family member having their leg amputated someone would fly out to be with you. I'm about to have some back surgery next month, all my kids are coming up to take turns to be with me, which I think is the natural way it should be So this guy must have a strange relationship with his family, depending how close they are

The Reality of The Anti-British Brigade on These Forums
The Brits do whine a bit more than most I'm American and I've lived with the loud American thing all my life, but thick skin you just blow it off But jeez the Brits whine a lot actually Get them going on the weather and you are in for a tirade. Too hot too cold too wet, its an hour long conversation I love you guys, love your country, but you do have some cultural 'flaws' as do we all

Medicare vs Tricare
Well I didn't say it was happening tomorrow But why should non vet's be treated so bad? We paid into Medicare our whole lives There are military vets who never saw anything more than a desk cubicle, yet they are entitled to worldwide tricare
-
Medicare vs Tricare
So, do we start a campaign to make Medicare available worldwide same as Tricare. You would think that given the fact that healthcare generally is so much cheaper than in the US it would be a plus, which apparently it is for Tricare

Stranded Aussie Pensioner Pleads for Return Home
I think thats true I think there is this myth, that any embassy will bail you out and get you home for free, not true none of them will, don't expect your home country taxpayers to bail you out. On then Aussie pension thing, I have no idea, but if he how on earth was he making the visa extension work? He'd be in immigration detention for not having the money
-
Stranded Aussie Pensioner Pleads for Return Home
I kinda thought the same. A one way ticket to Australia can't cost that much. It also states he wants to return to family I would of thought 'if' they wanted him to return to them, they would have rustled up the cash for a ticket

An Operating Manual for Understanding the Thai Mind
This whole AI generated 'stories' thing is getting tiresome. Beautifully constructed but obviously AI I think I'd rather go back to bickering members than this constant feed of nonsense, which is nothing more than clickbate

Oh My, Andy, is That You Being a Naughty Boy in Thailand?
Explain that to me a little more. Koo Stark is an American, from New York as I recall, cant see the connection to Thailand

USA Real Street Address from USA2ME or Other Company
Just be aware, you may well get a 'street address' with all of these companies However they all need to register as a CMRA and banks software will recognize it as such So don't think that you will have a real street address

What happened to Rock n Roll
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'

Do I need to file taxes for year/s prior before I start SS?
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

Oh My, Andy, is That You Being a Naughty Boy in Thailand?
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

Good news for Americans: Trump is giving $600 rebate to everybody
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!

LONDON - Then and Now
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

Anybody planning to go back to the US?
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

Do Women Change in a Negative Way After Working in the Nightlife Scene?
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!
