I collected marbles when I was a boy, but lost them when I discovered girls.....will I ever be able to get them back?

[RKASA]

Your wife or you understood an escrow account?

Yes - she does. But she had the advantage of having bought and sold 6 different homes and several lands during 30 years living in the states before we returned here to retire. In the states she could own stuff - something she was no longer able to do here when we first got married 40 years ago.

Why should anyone with 78 not have all his marbles??? I am 72 and I think fairly up to date with technology etc, I would NEVER fall for a scam like this

Congratulations, we are the same age. Must get together some time!

You old farts make me laugh, but good on yea to be in a country of fun

An old man is sitting on the park bench crying. Another old man sits down next to him and

says, "Mister, what's the problem?"

The old man wipes the tears from his eyes and explains, "I've got this

beautiful, 35 year old wife, and all she wants to do is make love from the

moment I walk in the door till the moment we go to sleep and then when we wake

up again."

"So, what the hell is the problem?"

"Mister, you don't understand... I forgot where I live!"

Three old men are sitting on the porch of a retirement home. The first says:

"Fellas, I got real problems. I'm seventy years old. Every morning at

seven o'clock I get up and I try to urinate. All day long I try to urinate. They give

me all kinds of medicine but nothing helps." The second old man says:

"You think you have problems. I'm eighty years old. Every morning at 8:00

I get up and try to move my bowels. I try all day long. They give me all

kinds of stuff but nothing helps." Finally the third old man speaks up:

"Fellas: I'm ninety years old. Every morning at 7:00 sharp I urinate.

Every morning at 8:00 I move my bowels. Every morning at 9:00 sharp I

wake up."

The victim does not loan them money - they are asked to pool it and are promised a part of the property at a really good price.

They came around a tried to get my wife in on one of these scams for $250,000 and she said: "fine - we can form an escrow account with a third party, where is your money?" and that changed their minds - suddenly the deal fell apart.

Obviously having a clue helps but in the manner in which business is often done here it is not that hard to rip people off.

Smart wife.. Did you take her out to dinner ? buy her flowers?

Thailand has no monopoly on stupid. There's plenty to go round in every country in the world.
