Popular Post keithpa Posted March 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2018 I see on social media, people making comments ,many comments, about mundane things. I see the same people , day after day, at all hours of the day and night, posting on social media. I asked myself, why havnt they got a life. There is more to life than ;sitting on your condo all day, and popping out at night for a few beers. Then it dawned on me, I have become one of you. I thought to myself, tomorrow may be the last day of my life, do i want it to be the same as today. No. Im off home, after 15 years , a house, yard, flower bed, fruit trees, ;parks to walk in and near a clean beach for swimming and fishing. Visiting my rellies regularly. As soon as i sell up, Im off. Time to smell the roses. (70 years young) 9 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sirineou Posted March 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2018 I am confused, Is the Op complaining about spending too much time online? or In Thailand? or both? Is he leaving Thailand, and if so how is that going to resolve the Online issue if there is one? I think I used my question mark quota for today, Tomorrow I will practice using exclamation points.

473geo Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I post when I am at loose end in the UK (I easily get bored with TV apart from sport) like now a quiet Sunday afternoon before work tomorrow. To be honest don't post much at all when in Thailand, always busy with my family, things to do, although I do look most days in the morning when my wife takes the children to school, if there is nothing that attracts my interest easy to log off. Quite interesting at times to use the time zones and evaluate where people may be posting from 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing both wife and Thailand terrible, nothing interesting on TV. Some interesting subjects on TVF,and a few posters whose wit and humor I enjoy. Nothing wrong with communicating online, I get to chat with you in the UK (I assume) talked with my sister on Skype in Italy and other sister in Greece, and waiting for wife to wake up in Thailand in a few Hrs so we can see and talk to each other on Line IMO this is the golden age of communications. just got a text from Sis in Florida with pictures , I love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I occasionally drop in on your house build thread to see how things are going, it is lovely to receive the photographs and feed back on these projects, something to hold your interest and prompt further discussion. I am always so impressed with my wife the way she makes things happen as we would want them. Last week in Europe my nephew and a few of his mates went to on holiday to celebrate their 40th year - lost passport arrived back a week late, followed the whole fiasco on face book. Yes there sure is some real life entertainment to be had from sitting in front of the computer. I did have a break from Tvisa for a while some time ago, must admit posters seem a little more transient these days, but even much used topics encourage a new slant at times, or at least raise old conflicts anew 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justfine Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Surely people can walk and chew gum at the same time. You can visit a nice beach or park and use your phone as well. Apartment living is inferior to having land regardless of country. Apartments are for holidays. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well sorry about the fact that there are DIFFERENT TIME ZONES around the world keithpa. My 'bon voyage' was posted with all honesty and sincerity at the time. Since you responded around 2 AM Thai time, I assume you have been out and about, celebrating your imminent departure with all your friends rather than being home-alone, trawling the forums and posting dour, "see what I mean?" sort of self aggrandizement posts... or whatever they call pulling oneself these days. Anyway, here's the "don't let the door bang your ass on the way out" post that you probably deserve. Edited March 5, 2018 by NanLaew 3 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
