Celsius 3120 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I have nightmares about this. The age I used to laugh at everyone and think how smelly they are. Karma. Are there any actual advantages to turning 50. I kno in Thailand that automatically turns me into a handsome man, but is there anything else I should look forward to? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Shop mak 978 Posted January 9 Popular Post Share Posted January 9 is there anything else I should look forward to? Yes, medical problems kreeping up on you. Yes, your cholestrol is by now way beyond acceptable level. Yes, Premium on your medical insurance increasing faster and faster, year by year. Yes, you realize that all the hair on the floor is actually your hairloss, not last weeks overnight guest. Yes, ED impotens might be a problem, and viagra become your best friend, and always in your pocket. Yes, you need to get up every night, to take a pee. Yes, soon you find 40 y.o. women attractive and hot. Yes, you spend more time talking with friends in the bar, than to look at the women working there. Yes, you reading glasses need to be replaced by 2.00 or more. Yes, you go to bed by 11 pm, rather than after 1 am, as you previously did. Yes, you create a last will testament, but forget to have it confirmed by MOFA. Yes, thai people now call you uncle, more than handsum man. 7 1 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Monday 5549 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) You can save the cost of another 5 years of Thailand Elite membership and get an O-A visa. Instead, the pleasure of paying for useless redundant Thai health Insurance. In 5 years. if visiting the US you can squeeze out some fast food discounts. I have never been to an Arby's.

Popular Post GinBoy2 10542 Posted January 9 Popular Post Share Posted January 9 The best advantage of getting older, is comfortable you feel in your own skin. I have nothing left to prove, screw it if i don't eat a vegetable in a week, maybe I didn't turn out to be Jeff Besos, but I don't care. My kids are happy so I'm happy You also start to care less and less what other people think about you, and back to the comfortable skin thing 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're underestimating the pleasure of greatly increased ear wax too. Twice a year, I go to a doctor by Tapie Gate to get a pea-sized globule suctioned out of each ear -even tho it costs more than having a former bar hostess scrape it out with a toothpick in a beauty parlor. "Let me see it", I insist. Then everyone in the office comes over for a happily disgusted look. That's out there for you too. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
