He was a real piece of work. Thrilled he is gone and no longer raining verbal terror down upon this community. 

 

A quote comes to mind with regard to people of his kind. 

 

In shallow men the fish of little thoughts cause much commotion. In oceanic minds the whales of inspiration make hardly a ruffle.

 

 

My post was sort of in jest and meant to be humorous, but I do understand how you feel.

 

I like that quote too though. Very clever. Thank you.

 

Unfortunately I think he is already back with us as of today as "Elvis Presley", of all user names. Well, he did tell us he is a big Elvis fan in the past, so it makes perfect sense.

I was still finishing up my Two year degree and chose to move to a costal town near by. Lonliness was not something I had experienced yet.

Watching my Father suffer through Cancer before he died.

 

Father was smart, hardworking, caring, successful businessman and friend to many.

 

After couple months of Cancer drugs:

1. Lost some teeth 

2. Couldn't add simple numbers when he is excellent at Math

3. Needed a feeding tube

4. Drugs making him unstable and needing wheelchair.

5. Depression, watching him battle and fight back but inside knowing he can't win.  Accepting death, leaving his family and friends took a heavy toll.

 

What did I learn?

Appreciate the time I have and don't waste it.

Helping people is very rewarding to both parties.

There are somethings you have Zero control over, it is best to just focus on living a good, happy life, not waste time and efforts when there is no benefit or result.

He shared that his wife's back door is so distended from over-use that "he could barely even touch the sides". And then he offered me a go.

Sounds like torture. Who would want that? That isn't what friends do to one another. That's as bad as supporting Trump and thinking that it's all a great idea. Bob should be punished for that.

Today I was supposed to meet up with GG at a gay bar in Chiang Mai for a few drinks and maybe some Brokeback. He never showed up. I was there in bells. He didn't even give a courtesy call to say he wasn't coming. I was heart broken. Almost killed myself.

Gamma Globule or BritmanToo - you'd luckier to get BigFoot to meet you.

You can stop any time.

I'm 67 pretty healthy and still working as a Chef... I could potentially see hard times ahead... Made some bad decisions a few years ago starting from scratch so to speak twice.. Not much cash.. But could make it up very fast.. Now living in Texas and EVERYWHERE is so expensive.. But I had a great life traveling and working in Thailand and SE Asia.. and if I had 3 months to live I could deal with it..

I've just turned 67. Against my wishes, I brought a Japanese wife back to Canada after a wonderful decade in Tokyo during the Eighties - once in Canuckistan, I had big problems matching my previous salary, but she had no problem spending like a drunken sailor, eventually culminating in a huge fight that featured her smashing several heavily framed old Ukioye prints over my head. That was the lowest point for me.

 

After we split up, I went to Grad school and returned to work in Singapore for a couple of decades, ultimately ending up here in Chiang Rai with a wonderful lady I've been with thirty years. None of this would have occurred without the big breakup, and I'd be back in Montreal, shivering.

The quote was certainly not from me.

Ah yes. I quoted something from a quote you made and that makes it appear to come from you. It was actually from Lacessit.

 

Sorry about that.

I envy you. I have fond memories of Singapore from the 70s. I'd like to have lived there longer, but I chose to go live in Thailand instead. Certainly more affordable.

Worst?

I am unable to post the worst.

I have yet to reach that point in my life.

So solly.

Age 29, broke, freshly divorced, angry, nearly homeless, drunk with a gun in my mouth for a few seconds before I realized I didn't have the nuts to do it. Pretty much went up like bitcoin from there. Made my first million 8 yrs later (50% luck, 50% clever idea) and retired to SEA.

 

What I realize now is that had I actually pulled the trigger, the world would not have been any worse or better off than it is now.  No one except for a very few people in the world is really special.

But that clever idea of yours brought value to other people's lives. So you did matter.  Same goes for the kindness you shared along the way..Your taxes paid for operations on children.

Well, there was that time I gave up drinking.

 

Worst eight hours of my life.....
