cdnmatt Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Dogs. Always my dogs. Wake up in the morning, walk outside of the bedroom, they hear me from downstairs and come rushing up with big smiles on their faces, as they're wagging their butts with excitement. Or when I go into town, and come home to see them sitting at the street corner waiting for my return, only to go running to the house when they see me, as if they haven't seen me in months. Then rush me in excitement, with hopes I brought them something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigJohnnyBKK Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I managed a little sex at my age of 85 without to much viagra or having a heart attack Rock on dude, respect! And you can still swing a gik once in a while, no need to take care of her any way but the usual financial arrangements, her job to take care of you, even just kisses and cuddle from a young cutie can go a long way to putting a spring back into your step. Never mind about the mia luang, she'll understand as long as she knows it isn't serious. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevjohn Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I like to get outside of a morning and have a chat with the kids heading off to school. Keeps the mind young and they seem to enjoy asking questions, re life, when I was younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMA_FARANG Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Sometimes the simple things in life can bring a smile to my face and a feeling of contentment. I know this isn't what you meant, but today (14 June 2012) the U.S. Internal Revenue Services accepted my amended tax return I filed last month and REFUNDED the tax I overpaid in 2011. (Because the company I worked for then overpaid my tax). It is only about $350, but I'll still take it! The refund just appeared in my U.S. bank account, and the bank is now processing it into my account. So it IS possible to argue with the IRS and win....at least sometimes. That's what making me happy today. But also the Sun is shining today, and the trees outside as I drink my Japanese Green Tea now are glowing with the early morning sunshine.

simple1 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Against all the perceived wisdom, shouting at the Thai neighbour early in the morning that his dog's barking keeps waking me up.

Anything that makes us happy counts. Too often we tend to forget those little things in life when we hear of so much agony and strife on here in many of the posts. Life can be difficult in a foreign country. So something as simple as a kiss and cuddle from the SO or the birds singing, the tax rebate or whatever counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigJohnnyBKK Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Caught the eye of a real cutie on the ferry boat this morning, after she got off at her dock she turned and gave me a little wave. . . The mother of my children was quite civil speaking to me on the phone just now, told me she's sending B1,000 for them to get some toys and new clothes. A red-letter day for sure!

seasia Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Nothing so far but went to look at a new place to live and noticed it has a big balcony with both a street and beach view. As hard as she tries my partner shouldn`t be able to fill it up with clutter as she has done the current place and I`m looking forward to sitting out there in peace and quiet with a beer and watch the world go by. 16 days to go.

BigJohnnyBKK Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Had to smile today, went for a ride down to the Cambodia border to see a friend. On the trip back stopped to stretch the legs and have a smoke. There were a few stilt type shacks at the side of the road and a guy cutting grass, From inside the grass cutter house 2 young [ maybe not so young] girls come out, walk over to look at the farang and his chopper. Usual 1/2 Thai, Lao and bits of English words are exchanged. One girl points at the house and says Leo, Leo. I think how nice they want to invite a strange farang into there house and drink the old mans beer. It was getting late and though the thought did cross my mind, I declined the offer. Got back on the bike and was about to hit the road when a small board nailed to a tree caught my eye. Some Thai writing and one word in English, karaoke. In the wilds along the Lao border this means 200 Baht short time Lao girls. You just have to love living in Thailand. Jim If not pictures, then at least GPS coordinates please. . .

Popular Post phuturatica Posted June 14, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2012 Receiving just over a thousand flowers and offerings for 'Wai Kru' (Teacher's Day) from my students. (I teach 1200 students each week) The students obviously took part in the official ceremony but majority of the students took time out of their day to come and see me and say thank you. It was very overwhelming. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
