An invitation to coffee.

[villagefarang]

It looks as though I will be at Starbucks tomorrow around 1 pm. I will have a couple hours to kill while waiting for my wife, so please feel free to come regale me with your wit and wisdom. No need for flashing signs saying how friendly you are, just put a smile on your face and say hello. Old friends can stop by to catch up, or if you are new and curious, please feel free to satisfy your curiosity.

Rumor has it that VF is buying

[sceadugenga]

Disappointment could well lie in your future.

I was in town yesterday so may struggle for another leave pass so soon.

See how things go.

Would love to join you VF but...but Sydney, Australia is a little too far from Chiang Rai.

We are getting some of your smoke conditions here as the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney,

have been on fire for the last week. Sitting down in Starbucks, having a coffee and chat would be much more enjoyable.

O well, next year.

Rumor has it that VF is buying

I heard the same rumor but it included the following qualifiers.

1. Did you ever highjack my topics?

2. Were you contemptuous of my photography for no reason other than you don’t like me?

3. Have you directed derogatory comments toward me or my wife?

4. Did you lobby for my removal from this forum?

5. Have you thrown parties to celebrate and perpetuate hatred of VF and/or TV?

Anyone who can answer yes to any or all of these questions shouldn’t expect a free coffee.

Do you mean that I can get away with all of the above and the only penalty is a cup of coffee? Man, are you in for it.

Never sure you NeverKnow.

maybe you can and maybe you cannot

Today is a good example of why I don't like to make plans. It has been raining all morning and my wife doesn't feel well. Beginning to look like a good day to stay home.

Hope she gets better soon...

Have a good rest today and save the trip for later.

[sceadugenga]

I doubt that I was going to be a starter anyway, the rain was probably the clincher.

Plus all the posts I've lost this year through unfair accusations of thread hijacking I probably wouldn't have got a free coffee anyway.

I hope your wife feels better soon. I will be in Chiang Rai in Jan. is there a chance you will extend the invatation than?

I think I owe you a coffee from last time, anyway, so you get a pass.

Hopefully my wife will feel better tomorrow. School starts this weekend so she needs to get better soon. She is probably just feeling the aftereffects of our trip.

Of course.

Is that multi choice or do I just have to pick one? And if it is one, then I pick No.!

After a heavy rain this morning, the sun came out and my wife started making noises, like she needs to go to town today. I know it is short notice but I will be at Starbuck around 1 pm.

I got Mavericks loaded overnight on my Mac but haven't had time to play around with it much. I always like new software, though, so looking forward to kicking the tires a bit.

Looks as if I will miss you. Going to the Meridian first then central round 3 I guess. Have a good time. One day you will get a real computer....

Thanks for stopping by. It was nice to see you guys.

An expensive afternoon...I forgot to empty my wifes purse first.......and there was a sale.

I for one, don’t buy the whole miserly Scrooge routine. I think that is just a cover so people don’t find out how generous you are, and take advantage.

[villagefarang]

To be honest with you guys, I really do prefer a quiet one on one conversation, over a group dynamic. So if you would like to have coffee and talk sometime, just send me a personal message and I will respond.

No, very short arms, very deep pockets....

Its my leg that is short. Not my arms......many girls can attest to that...but that is in the past of course.

Get those PMs in while you can, my Nov calendar is filling up fast. Again my preference is for a one on one conversation over coffee but exceptions can be made.

[villagefarang]

Yesterday I had the most engaging conversation, over coffee, I have had for quite some time here in the Rai. It struck me as sad that this is not a more regular occurrence. Different backgrounds, nationalities, gender and sexual orientation but a fascinating discussion in a lovely location.

[sceadugenga]

Just about time for a Christmas coffee.

Not sure that some of the members would want their sexual orientation discussed though....

One time photos on the forum may not be welcome.

Nice thing here ..we have all types of combinations and permutations and the only peoeple it matters to (or should) is them.

[villagefarang]

Thanks for the reenforcing imagery of the kind of conversation one typically encounters in this neck of the woods. The point was, that despite differences, the conversation was articulate, informed, relevant, wide-ranging and very interesting. There were no brutish, offhanded or dismissive remarks and even sensitive personal matters where handled with candor and respect. I find that kind of conversation hard to come by since moving to the Rai over six years ago from Bangkok.

This is a great idea!

Being a long time lurker and newbie poster, I haven't had the pleasure of meeting any of our local "cast of characters" yet and certainly look forward to it.

After we get settled in and say our hello's to family and friends (been away for a few months), I'll check back in here after the New Year.

I can smell the coffee already!

Cheers,

Aft

After all your cheerful posts on this forum, I think you deserve a coffee, on me.

"Cheerful".......It's a lifestyle choice!

Thank you
