In response to "Getting Away"

Yes, in general, two-three nights sounds perfect. I'm slowing down so "one night" is problematic. See how having a guest goes. I'll likely visit you when I can also go to Prachuap Kiri Khan so please tell me how that visit goes.

In response to "Bah Humbug"

I don't like mid-December - mid-January in Montana. Too gloomy and the place is ghostly.

Growing up December was brutal unless it snowed. January was snowier and brighter.

Being elsewhere is fine with me. Thailand last year. Thailand this year.

I don't celebrate Christmas.

In response to "Mr Diabetes"

Hey Dr Gonzo. Sounds like you're doing well. Compared to the alternative, I think a little weight gain might be a small price to pay.
Every NA and AA meeting I've ever been to has featured candy or pastries of some kind. I'm pretty sure it just goes with the territory. The last time I used was a pretty heavy relapse in 2018 but I've been clean since then. No drinking or drugging. MAYBE a joint once or twice a year. I stayed pretty heavy for the first couple years of sobriety.

Even today, I have a severe sweet tooth. I can't sleep without a belly full of something sweet. I've found that my body doesn't mind the sugar in peanut butter and milk. I can gorge myself and still stay lean.

I'm glad you and Nada found each other. I look forward to your adventures together.

In response to "High Season vs Low Season"

Hadn't thought of MSG and coughing. I don't add salt like many people.

I've had three days of coughing. A bit better earlier today but coughing now as I typed.

High season = must book in advance.

Cooler. High 80s this week; high 60s at night.

Sugary donuts today! And coffee.

Not much of an appetite though.

In response to "Schools in Thailand"

Yep. Uniforms. Short >>> long pants. Fighting is seen in movies, but I sense less violence in general in-real-life. Respect is absolute.

I'm sleeping on the floor tonight.

He'll survive that aspect of school.

In response to ""Sir...Your Disorder Is Ready""

I have made great progress on my trip. Leave on the 19th here; arrive on the 21st in Kuala Lumpur. I will leave Penang on the 1st for a short flight to Phuket, stay 2 days then fly to Udon Thani... avoiding Bangkok. I'll be in Ayutthaya on the 15-17th of December. I may have time to see you before or after.

I also have no plans for January yet.

Pan is driving my bonkers; but, I'm slowly understanding that much of it is cultural and how he uses language.

As for HOCD... some of us are just who we are. I've always been left-handed. That wasn't always acceptable and many suffered from the labels.

I remind Pan that he's handsome just the way he is. I'll repeat that until he accepts that.

In response to "The Rain in Spain..."

I have my new passport (plans not finalised). I'll be headed your way.

Up for a visit?

I love the rain...

Udon Thani... dry. 31-34°/18-24°. Warming up for a couple days later this week. I'm looking forward to the cooler nights.

In response to "Ignorance is Bliss"

Pannya also has limited knowledge outside of singing, modeling, selling. He knows the rituals and loves a good massage and eating out. He does speak some English.

But... in the USA, many didn't vote for various reasons. Ignorance is bliss?

In response to "Save or Regret"

I have lost posts for various reasons. I have to be careful about letting my guard down. I had decent internet connection with dtac. Here... there are times...

I must memorize คุณต้องการทำอะไร?

Ignorance is Bliss

Growing up in rural Thailand, Nada never had a TV or the time to watch one if she did. She led a simple life, cooking and cleaning when she wasn't at school. I'm still surprised at how little she knows about the world outside of Thailand.

I keep searching for things we can relate to. Nada knows nothing about Western music, world history or current affairs. When I spoke to her about the current election in the US, she had never even heard the name Donald Trump, let alone Kamala Harris. If I mention democracy, dictatorships and the threat of nuclear war, all receive the same blank stare.

In a way, I envy her, but I have to admit it is hard to be with someone who cannot express their opinion on much more than food preparation and good presentation outside the home. Nada may not be able to hold a conversation on world affairs, but she does have feelings and is a very sensitive human being. She loves me a lot, and although it would be nice to have an in-depth conversation with her, I wouldn't change a thing about Nada. My girlfriend is vibrant and sexy. She works hard and loves her son and in all honesty, I am lucky to have met someone like her...in a country that is renowned for the girlfriend/Farang scam.

Yesterday, I found her listening to a YouTube channel that teaches Thais how to speak English. I was pretty impressed because she could have been looking at other, not so helpful to our relationship, content. She understands how important communication is to me, and is making an effort to improve her vocabulary...and for that, I am thankful.
