time wasted on things in life after 77 years here and before /could have  been  a women /smoking /Vietnam war 

no it is socks /every time you wash your socks it takes half hour to match them up 

so if you add it up half hour week for 60  years/adds to over 4 weeks 

now if i had been smart as a young lad/ I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT THE SAME COLORED SOCKS ALL THE TIME 

Time wasted?

Answer: This Thread!

I am not wearing any socks since I came to Thailand more than 20 years ago. I guess I won the price.

 

I guess over the years I wasted some time with the wrong girls but I guess that was necessary to find the right girls. C'est la vie.

I think a 4 year degree is time wasted.

Nothing wrong with getting a degree, but it could be condensed into one year.  So many unnecessary requirements that do not enhance ones ability to get a job or be successful.

Remembering back many years ago of course professors who loved to hear themselves talk 3 hour lectures when they could get the point across in 15 minutes.  4 years of girls wanting to experiment with their sexuality was the only redeeming value of it.

555   not time wasted , since those "experiences"  were what gave some of us our education.  

I can always tell which posters have seen the many facets of the "thai experience" .......... as opposed

to the ones who just imagine they are experts .    

And somehow we do tend to look back with devilish delight (and relief) at those mistakes  

Life is good...in and of itself...matching socks does not do much to improve it!

how sweet you were the guy friend. 

Matching up socks isn't exactly time wasted compared with other things. When I first came to Thailand I felt that wearing flip-flops in public all the time was 'weird', but I soon got used to it and took to it - soon had little need for socks.

It doesn't happen.  Universities in Thailand separate girls and boys like cancer and hair.

It's the only way to get through here. Imagine living here and always being sober??

Depends on the job really my fellowship award and getting letters after my name took 15 years in the build and roofing industry, I don't see it as time wasted, I see it as an achievement in my life which I am proud of.

I can think of far more worthy candidates for wasting one's life, such as giving time away to an uncaring employer in a job you don't enjoy.

 

Op, you're not a sandal-wearing sock merchant is ya? 

Try this: go all black, all white, or without.

It must be your imagination - or is that your favorite outfit.

 

I only wear moccasins.

 

What are socks ?

I have women to do that.

What takes up my time is finding where they've hidden them.

That was 4 years wasted when Pattaya was at it's peak.

And I'm betting the exploring would have been more extreme.

 

A lot of useless stuff at school. Had to suck it up, never ever needed in life.

But much more: my ex wife, a complete waste of time an energy

Phew, gotta' be more laid back than yourself, eh?

washing the car, listening to Mrs P talk about different types of mushrooms, any conversation with young children, listening to whining employees, listening to whining bosses, any time spent as a passenger on and in anything, making my own beer, listening for the millionth time to my sister tell the story of how I pushed her down the stairs when she was 6, ( I didn't, she fell and I tried to catch her, and she is now 60, so get over it). Listening to Party Political Broadcasts. fishing, golf when I am <deleted> at it, gym, replying to TVF posts, driving anywhere, flying anything that does less than 600 knots.

You are obviously not a mathematics professor. My first year at uni the maths prof always had different coloured socks, to the delight of us mere mortals.

I have literally hundred of pairs of socks.....and I always bought the same styles in the same colours....I have business socks and high and low level sports socks. I don't wear them any more......does anyone want to buy them? They are pretty much as new and not very smelly.
