Thank you all very much for your comments. But since the majority were negative, I will have to submit to your collective judgement and admit to being a tight-ass [arse, you Brits and Aussies]. The fact is, I come from a country [the good ol' US of A.] where waste is systemic and part of the culture. When I first came here over thirty years ago I found a mindset entirely different. Most people didn't throw things away even when the amounts were trifling. Being an artist and supporting a family hasn't been an easy go financially but I've managed to put two daughters through CMU. The older one going on to get a masters degree at Chula and a subsequent appointment to a goverment ministry where she is now a freshman diplomat. So excuse my parsimonious ways, and I'll excuse the indignation that my simple request has caused. Choke dee to all TV members, even you nasty ones. The forum would be bland without you!

My sincere congratulations to you for what you have accomplished here - raising and educating 2 daughters

I applaud your gentlemanly response.

Is this what a good old American (Southern?) used to be?

Let not forget too, raising and educating two girls, that's a lot of satangs.

You are quite a character.

Nice try. Now are we supposed to think you're a reincarnation of Andrew Carnegie?

You're what the bargirls used to call a "Cheap Charlie".

Cut the crap. "A snake that sheds it's skin is still a snake"

Satang to Banknotes! Times must be hard!

Up yours, you old fart. Next time I see you on the Sanahm Golf I'll take a shot at you and tell the caddie not to yell "fore".

Incidentally, I gave up bargirls a long time ago. You oughta do the same. Think of all the money you'd save on Viagra.

Indeed they are.

The poster has been here in Thailand 30 years and this is his first item he puts up for discovery.

uptheos

TROLL !!

As another said, Homeboy78, great response and praiseworthy efforts by an artist to put them thru school !

I feel for old troll Gringo. The real snake shows his own colors quite clearly.
