What No beer!!!!! Oh well won't be the first time I fell into the wrong place. I have been lurking here for a couple months and just jumped in when I saw a question I coud answer. I retire in a few months and Thailand is looking better every day (so long as my exwife can't go).

I live my life one S.W.A.G. (Scientific Wild Azz Guess) at a time, my guess after reading the threads is Thailand has plenty of good people and few no so good just like every other country. My coming there won't tip the scales. I look forward to seeing the smiles.

Crazykid indeed...

Well, Crazykid, welcome. Can we call you 'Calvin' to avoid confusion?

As long as no one thinks i'm this Calvin;

John Calvin (French: Jean Calvin, born Jehan Cauvin: 10 July 1509 – 27 May 1564) was an influential French theologian and pastor during the Protestant Reformation. He was a principal figure in the development of the system of Christian theology later called Calvinism.

I may be old and stuffy but not THAT old.

Oh.and where is the bar maid?

Welcome to retirement CrazyKid, the best career choice you will ever make.

So are you coming to LOS to live or just a holiday.....either way.....Have Fun!

No, more like this Calvin.

I am planning on staying for 1 year, longer if I want. I have a friend that has been going to Ubon for the last 5 years (stays 6 mos). So I will stay in a Ubon and in his village, Phibun Mangsahan to learn local life, customs and culture. After a couple months there I will go north or west to the coast.

It is all pretty up in the air. I will be free January of 2013 and plan to leave here in Febuary for Thailand. I know that is not a great time of year for the weather but I have big feet and float pretty well so don't much care if it rains.

Keyser; I can't see picture here at work, won't open. I'll check back from home to see if I should curse, (because it is a picture of me).

I think it was carved locally

No, more like this Calvin.

I can see the pic from home. My work computer blocks many items.

About the Pic; Not me, with my luck there would be an electric fence.

Yeeaahhh! I hope you enjoy your stay!

49 days to liftoff (off this government chair I set in). March 29th is my last day, but who's counting
