Hi Frank! Have you considered a motorbike or moped? They are pretty cheap and if you live on a 10 minute drive you could probably avoid the grids by CAREFULLY driving between other vehicles.

My children are both married with family of their own. But when I was raising them I was in many affairs. Just never found the person who I wanted to marry. It did not effect my children as those I was seeing needed my kids to like them or there would never be a second date. Just because you...

I had a cordial relationship with my former wife for years. And if I did not live 8000 miles away we would still be friends. BUT loving somebody is a lot different then being IN LOVE. Could we ever re-marry? NEVER.

For once, Jatelo, I agree with you 100% (guess it was the odds, LOL). When you marry a person who has children from a previous relationship it should be a package plan. The kids should be part of the decision as well. If they do not feel comfortable with the step-father then the mother...

I am not sure of the validity of this report (I don't believe many reports as they can be swayed to the feelings of the author or client) but it says that religious differences are #10 or of 10 for divorce. As Lorenzo my parents were also Catholic and Protestant. My father converted to the...

The library is a great place for kids of all ages! When I was living in the US I'd go at least once or twice a month just to check out new books and some from earlier times. It is one of the few things I miss. Here there are a few libraries but the books are all written in Thai. So when I...

About 74 years is the average life expectancy age in Thailand. However in the rural areas where there is limited stress I have seen many very ancient people. I am 66 and while I sure am not as physical or young looking as I was 25 years ago I feel young and I guess that is what matters.

I am lucky as the area in the city where my home is there is traffic but it flows without any problems. Of course this is probably because the majority of the transportation is motorbikes. On my farm up in the jungle, there is no traffic because everybody more or less lives in a "communal...

When I was married we would both put up the Christmas decorations but I'd take them down because I had more patience in making sure the wires were easy to get to them the next year. She preferred just to jam everything into a box. For Halloween I'd always take my kids to the store and let...

You are doing quite well, believe me! In a few more years you will be talking the same as if English was your native language! Keep it up!

I am smiling ghanashyam! Not because of the quote but because you finally gave me a link! And for that I say thanks...Perhaps in our next life we can be friends! :p Shaw, although was a Nobel prize winner did not seem to like much of anything so I imagine he was just having an anti-American...

Absolutely! I see nothing wrong with television, video games and such media but it is making young people think that a gunshot is "BOOM", OUCH, and then the next scene is in the hospital where the hero is getting healthy again. I don't like thinking of my time in the military nor do I tell war...

I let my kids eat as much as they wanted...but then later on if they decided they were hungry and wanted some chips or other crap I'd tell them to heat up their dinner and eat that first! For odd some reason there was always an abundance of cupcakes in the cupboard!

To maintain a friendship that is about the only way to handle questionable advice. If you do offer your advice and it is wrong....OUCH!

I think that it is just part of being a kid. When I was young I saw no appeal in Pery Como, Sinatra, Pat Boone and those "crooners". The only real music was by Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino and a few others of the time! But I have to laugh now...well,, not really! Elvis Presley -...

How many more of of rights are going to be destroyed before the country is forced into a type of anarchy just so we can survive. A very sad story and I hope she wins.

Of course you are not having a medical problem, Jatelo. If you not able to take a nap it only means that you are not tired! It does NOT have great medical benefits. The only time you need to be concerned is if you can not sleep at night.

I lived there for about 12 years until I retired. Most of the downtown clubs do have cheaper tables to play at. I think, if the hotel is still there, the Las Vegas club had a 25 cent crap table that never closed! Just have lots of fun and remember...any table or slot machine that had a big...

Hi tommymac! I have not been to college in years so I am not aware of this situation. Junior colleges use to be free and they offered quite a few scholarships to non -Ivory League schools. Is that another thing of the past?

I fully understand what you are saying! I am an American and have taught ESL in several countries as well as for a "Head Start" styled program. At present I have been residing in Thailand for five years and I am the first person to admit that I can not read or write and even if I had the...
