For heavens sake, why , on this earth, did you think that I was insinuating that you were going to get screwed. I have no  doubt that your beloved is different. God bless you both.

Well let us say you didn't ask if we have children by way of example, you went for the part I couldn't really care less about, cost, sending money, buying land. Well my mother in law donated the land for the house, free, the land my wife bought has turned out to be a bargain. So on that side all good. Land is for when the children need a home.

I have been connected to, and, enjoying Thailand for over 30 years now, Thailand owes me nothing. I actually owe my wife and family a great deal, for their love and support .They make me happy every day.

 

My wife is an absolute diamond, thank you for your kind thoughts.

About Oz, for sure, after 15 years here, nothing new for me to learn. Been screwed by TGF, TW, thought I had some good mates, but, when they got full of piss, they showed their true self. Back in Oz, most blokes would ;never admit they had ever been with a prostitute, here, that is who most blokes marry. Then they cry over getting screwed, I was one cept i didnt cry over it, best thing that ever happened to me.

Most? Get better friends. Only most if you keep bad company.

 

And did you marry one? Unclear from your post.

 

Your friends got drunk and showed you their true self? They married hookers so you should have already known their true self.

America is indeed a country. If you said it isn't, you're wrong. If Wiki said it, then Wiki's wrong.

I do believe that America is a continent and the United states of America is a country

There are 2 continents with America in their name. North America and South America. The country America is located on the North American continent, along with Canada, Mexico, and the Central American countries.

 

"The United States Of" is merely a formal descriptor just like it is for other countries.  You know, like:

 

Mexico (Estados Unidos de)

Australia (The Commonwealth of)

Thailand (The Kingdom of)

Germany (The Federal Republic of)

China (The Peoples Republic of)

etc.

The is no Country called "America"

America is a continent . 

There is a certain area of land in the American continent that is divided up into different states , all these states are unified under one Country , the United states of (the) American (Continent)

That is not correct. 

 

First of all North America and South America are two seperate continents. Just like North Dakota and South Dakota are two separate states There is no "Dakota", at least not anymore, just as there is no continent called America. 

 

How come no one calls Mexico the United States of Mexico?  You can call America the United States of America, that's the formal name. Most maps are labeled United States and that of course is incorrect.

 

I hope to Christ you are not a product of the American school system.

Greetings to the pedants. Now - a reflection on common usage....  Most of us would understand the word "America" to mean - in common use - the US of A.  In the same way, reference to an "American" is never understood to extend to Canadians, Mexicans, Colombians etcetcetc

Funny, but this thread reminded me of a plaque that I saw many years ago, on a painting that was hanging in the living room of the homestead of a very large cattle station in northern Australia (owned by an American).  It said "God Bless America and John Wayne" (who was depicted in the painting).

Oh and magically your new life will see you surrounded by amazing people and amazing hobbies so you will just wipe social media.


How old are you? 12?

Just another loser trying to out run his problems. Good luck with that and keep us posted... Oops that's right you don't do social media [emoji23]

[sanemax]

You have had enough of living in Thailand and you want to go back home .

Fair enough, maybe you are homesick, nothing wrong with that.

If you are bored with life , you will probably get bored with life in Oz , just that it will be more expensive to be bored there .

   You should go back for a few months , to see how you like it there
