However, I often feel hesitant to comment on the threads of others, not knowing if I might be welcome. It's just a matter of my trying to be respectful to others, and trying not to intrude where I might be unwanted. So, actually, this is the reason I do not comment much on others' threads, no matter how great they are. The only way for you to get your likes up is by commenting, even the sad and confused things are included in total, anyway best to not worry about how many you have and how to get more, it doesn't matter the end of the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I didn't want to bring this up but I get a little tired of hearing people whinge about how Covid has affected them. I have cancer - something that will affect 50% of us at some point in our lives. Having a potentially terminal illness has a way of making you cut through the cr ap and get on with the realities of life. I'm on top of it and the only thing or person that controls my life is me. Yes, its been hard not seeing my wife every 8 weeks like I used to but whinging won't change anything and nor will posting crazy topics. There are people in this world far worse off than any of us, what right have we to moan about having a few restrictions placed on us?

I got my first tattoo many many years before the term 'social media' was coined. Way Way before computers and cell fones. Maybe try - "Let Others Live Their Life, as They Let You Live Yours" The only monkey see monkey doo I see is from posters on here denouncing people who are not just the same as they are. Most caused by living their "white picket fence" lifestyle and have never stepped out of their comfort zone. In a word - "Citizens" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question tacked to a question. Avoidance via diversion of even initial topic created by self. Troll? Or seeking help?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool Lou Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 "Suggestions for Topic Titles and Script: Both of which will help my posted topics reach 50K, rather than my low hundreds.

EVENKEEL Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Stick with the classics such as I love Thailand, I hate Thailand, Price of beer and wine, Ladyboy topics, my wife is hi-so, cost of living in Thailand. Here's one that hasn't been done in awhile....... Why do so many old foreigners have young kids in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjmorton Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Let me suggest a topic that some might find useful: a glossary of abbreviations and acronyms. LoS, non-O, OP, and so forth, all may save time for the writers but create stumbling blocks for the uninitiated reader and contribute to an unnecessarily cliquish atmosphere of insiders and outsiders. Maybe this isn't well suited to the hierarchical forum structure - but a contributor intent on attracting a lot of views would probably be well rewarded for setting it up.
