There are certain foods that I like and I have those foods regularly .

Why would I eat some food that I don't particularly like, just to be different and make a change ?

Try some new ones

  • Maybe you need to mind your own business and just get on with your own boring life..... regards Worgeordie

  • I have bacon and egg for breakfast every day. 3 wine coolers in the day. Lots of cups of Typhoo tea.   I'm OK doing the same thing every day.

Moved to puss¥ paradise to smash just that - a variety of it. After 12 years still never a dull day and still never a baht spent buying it from bar girls and the like. Sorry to hear of those with no variety, that’s sad…especially when living in p. paradise.

As opposed to the "up to you", "Ok then" " I go where you want" non attitude of some Thai females

You sound like you are not too sure... look for the Adam's Apple

After a certain age I find it's quite difficult to choose something new rather than something familiarly good.

Music, TV, food, sexual positions, topics of conversation.

It's got something to do with being constantly disappointed by the the other stuff.

 

Groundhog day. My wife spins out if her daily routine and housework schedule is broken or altered, whilst I tend to just wake up and decide on a daily action plan.

Have you tried driving in your sleep?

Well, things drive me crazy even in my sleep..

Especially those females ... ????

"I see lots of people do same things over and over. Dont they get bored doing the same things?"

 

The chains of habit are too light to feel until they become too heavy to be broken. 

 

But there is comfort in routine. I have coffee first thing in the morning.  Sometimes it's different coffee, sometimes it's in different places, but coffee is an important part of my morning routine and gets me grounded as I start my day (no pun intended). 

 

Beyond that, I've found that getting out and doing things with friends is a great cure from becoming overly set into a routine.  It is fun and stimulating to add variety and live in the moment, but not all the time.  Falling back on a routine actually frees my brain up to focus on more important things. 

Some people spend their whole lives searching for the next big high, and are never content; others find highs in the rudimentary changes of the mundane, and are always content. 

I would agree with that statement.

Variety is indeed the spice of life.

I'm currently moving every 10 to 15 days.

Pattaya > Bangkok > Hua Hin > Kalasin > Udon > ?

Sedentary life sucks so bad imo.

I see you doing basically the same things over and over. Not surprisingly you're the only one bored around here and mention it constantly.

 

And I'm hearing only superficial "variety." Same puerile thoughts. Eating/drinking variations of basically the same things and getting fatter, rotating the scenery kaleidoscope slightly here or there, brainlessly chasing women. Whacking bushes. Avoiding health checkups.???? 

 

The vast majority find your goals and very narrow interests, and your pursuit of them sitting at a keyboard, extremely boring. I certainly would.

 

Let's hear about fantastic scenery in Iceland. Let's at least hear about a long trip to the outback on a big bike and a hike up a high mountain. Lots of variety right there in Oz, but we ain't hearin' about any. Why's that?  

 

And there's more to physical activity than whacking bushes. There's exercise and a LOT of variety there. Mark Baker has a good book about this totally consistent with your "point:" AGING IS DIMINISHING VARIATION. Lots for you to do there that will make a big practical difference.

 

Overall, you've missed the point.

 

 I have traveled a good deal in Concord; and everywhere, in shops, and offices, and fields, the inhabitants have appeared to me to be doing penance in a thousand remarkable ways.

 

It is not what you look at that matters, it is what you see.

     --Henry David Thoreau

 

Immanuel ‘the Königsberg clock’ Kant was renowned for his strict (and rather austere) daily routines. Having been born in Königsberg in 1724, he never left the small German city, dying there in 1804 aged 79 never having once gone further than the city’s limits. Yet despite his somewhat limited empirical knowledge of the world, the intellectual founder of the German Enlightenment had a lifelong passion for knowledge of all kinds.

Ive been to every state n territory. Being a Thai forum nobody has much interest. Tasi has great nps. Adel great wine. Perth enjoyable city. Nsw 1000 great beaches. Problem is hotels are 5x Thailand 10am checkout which means you get 16 hrs for $120 basic room. The food is expensive. Women 85kgs.

 

If it was good u would be there

What do you see? If i look at a $120 room will it become $20?

 

If I look at a 85kg woman a lot will it become 45kgs?

No, you made a point about people in general that you see. Currently, you're seeing them in Australia, so that's on point. Many people here haven't been to Australia or only superficially, so some info and photos would be welcome. Sounds like you're just too skint to enjoy any variety in Australia. ????

The internet has photos. Mine are lost, hard copy gone.

 

Id recommend Tasi, Adel and Perth though for holiday if you like wine, nps and have a $200 a day budget.

Go take some new ones. Even Oz restos must offer something more than burgers. Why eat the same thing all the time. ????

Is that on webcam now?

 

Part of the boredom is having such limited vision. Me, I see them doing a number of other things. In all these years, I've never heard a member here admit to regularly sitting in bars all day. Most are able to realize, however dimly, they won't last long that way.

Pattaya, Phuket, Udon full of bar dwellers.
