It is timeless; I suppose that's why it has been made into a movie twice. Once with Lana Turner starring and the other with Jessica Lange.

My bf is a smiling type and he is always in conversations with strangers, male, female, gay, str8, it doesn't matter.

I understand about expiring miles, but what I don't understand is that they told me after the fact that they would expire.

That brings to mind, if you every drop any money and it is blowing or rolling away NEVER step on it to stop it. Thais will be very upset with you. The King's image is on the money and you can't step on the King. One time I was on a songthiew with a Thai. There were some Russians on the songtiew and when they left the Thai said, " I don't like that guy." I asked why and he said, "He put money in his sock and you should not put the King by your feet."

The whole difference has to do with money. Morals and ethics take a back seat to the almighty baht.

I worked within the health care system for nearly 40 years in the US and the stories I could tell what make you say, "WTF?"

OH yes, the dear sweet kindly nuns! I had the shit kicked out of me by them more times than I can count.

I had a United Mileage Plus account. I got a notice from United dated January 2007 saying that my miles would expire in December 2006. I had intended to give the miles to a friend since I knew they were coming due to expire. This was the only notice I got.

Don't forget Michelle Obama.

Who would even care to see those family jewels, EEEWWWWW!!!

The religious fanatics and radical atheists manage to get things stirred up where ever they want, irrespective of separation of church and state.

I just looked at the map and it shows US. Is that what you are looking to mark? I am originally from Chicago.

Most of the rains have been coming in the evenings and at night here in Pattaya. It makes sleeping very pleasant with the balcony doors open.

The stone, cut, clarity, size are what determine the price.

Should that also have applied to the Nazi or other war criminals?

Jomtien now.

I was considering going to India a year or two ago. I checked hotel prices and was shocked to find them expensive.

The Pattaya floating market is worth a visit. No admission charge! Free parking! There are shops and restaurants. You can walk around from shop to shop or take a boat.

Thai logic!

The fascination with gems is the price.

It is a sad and scary thing.

From what I understand, Yabba or crystal meth, is the biggest drug problem here in Thailand. Apparently, it is cheap and easy to come by.

I often would ask my grandmother to tell me about the "good old days". She was born in 1885, we think. She would always give me the same answer, "Honey, these are the "good old days. Remember that". Good advice, but unfortunately, I never did hear the stories I wanted to hear.

It's been said that God gave man two heads, but only enough blood for one to function at a time. It sounds like these guys were using the wrong head.

They may be able to clean up the streets, but to clean up the drugs and violence is doubtful.
