Take My Wife, Please....

[BigJohnnyBKK]

AN? Please stop talking in cryptograms.

Sorry - Apocalypse Now's the source of the OP's quote, incredibly excellent (but dark) movie set in Vietnam but based on Conrad's short story Heart of Darkness. Directed by FF Coppola, also auteur of the Godfather series, both pretty universally acknowledged to be in the top ten movies ever made, and certainly when you limit your choices to the last forty years.

My clip was the epilogue from "Natural Born Killers", not nearly as good and also much darker, nothing to do with Coppola but Stone's not shabby himself, with a little help from Tarantino. . .

BJB,

"...she is lovely and kind never wants much exept handbags and shoes..."

If I had to summarize my wife in 12 words, that would about do it. (I'd want to add very intelligent, firecely loyal, and extremely funny too but definitely the doesn't want much except shoes and bags bit)

A Thai woman (or any woman come to that) is 'extremely funny'??

Mmmm.

So if I was in the company of your wife socially you think that I would find her extremely funny?

How the f*** would I know, and why would I care? I'm guessing, going by your humorless and seemingly misanthropic posting style here, "no".

But me, all of my friends, her friends, and our respective families all do.

I agree, I don't think I would. Am extremely funny Thai woman? They don't exist.

Btw, calm down a bit, take a chill pill and go and have a beer.

You should get out more. Or learn Thai. Or both.

Even my grumpy old maid cracks me up once in a while, and she regularly has the kids in stitches.

Maybe your girls tink2mutt.

Blessed are the simple minded, for they are too dumb.

Yes, maybe I've missed all these hilarious Thai woman

I feel like i'm missing out

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.

It is only through awareness of what is true from moment to moment that there is discovery of the timeless, the eternal. Without self-knowledge, the eternal cannot be. When we do not know ourselves, the eternal becomes a mere word, a symbol, a speculation, a dogma, a belief, an illusion to which the mind can escape.

But if one begins to understand the “me” in all its various activities from day to day, then in that very understanding, without any effort, the nameless, the timeless comes into being. But the timeless is not a reward for self-knowledge. That which is eternal cannot be sought after; the mind cannot acquire it. It comes into being when the mind is quiet, and the mind can be quiet only when it is simple, when it is no longer storing up, condemning, judging, weighing. It is only the simple mind that can understand the real, not the mind that is full of words, knowledge, information. The mind that analyzes, calculates, is not a simple mind.

Stop trying to project your difficult relationship onto other people. It's annoying, and your problems with your family have nothing to do with me and mine. Stow it.

Pro tip - people come here for lots of reasons, not least to vent their problems and sometimes (if they ask a specific question) receive valuable advice. If a post annoys you (much less a whole thread) just move on, telling people to shut up just because you're annoyed is much more annoying to many more people than the OP.

Yeah, why do you people keep forcing others to come to this forum, find threads with topics they don't like, open those threads and read them?

It's wrong, I tell you. Stop it!

For me, the SiL and MiL are going to be the end of us. Quite sad really.

So farangme, despite your comedic OP, have you got anything specific you'd like to share and benefit from the collective wisdom of the community here?

Seriously, get it off your chest, you can do it!

Oh dear. Where would you even start with something like that.

Just needed to vent and get some comedic relief. As they say, sometimes laughter is the best medicine.
