I always bring a couple of plastic water flask type things, every airport i've been to lately has free drinking water fill ups. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yessongs Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 In memory of the final "Kiss" show after 50 years on the road....love them or hate them to death, respect for doing what they did for all those years. The final show at Madison Square Garden this past Sat night was epic they say. I never told Wifey back in March 2020, when we saw the final show back in Oakland, Calif, that this was NOT the real Paul Stanley...she really thought it was. I can be cruel at times LOL! 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Kiss, always have since I was a kid. Seen them live a few times over the years. But age takes its toll and you have to call it a day. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 11 at the time and to kids back then over 6ft of snow meant only one thing. NO SCHOOL. 🤗 Strangely though, we managed to spend all day playing outside and didn’t notice the cold. Halycyon days. 😀 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically a dry day too! Yep, realized this today when I went to get my haircut (no jokes please, I'ved already heard a couple of them today.... lol. Love getting my head shaved, it's almost like meditation). He was closed. But I got a good ride in and the market was open, stocked up. Took a break from the gym today. Will be back at it tomorrow. Routine is very good for my mental health. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasseye Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 11 hours ago, Stillearly said: Packing .... leave Thailand tomorrow ✈️ Have a good one mate. Sure was good seeing you. Looking forward to when you come back. Buriram has an airport (about a 20 minute drive into Buriram City, and I think around about an hours drive to Korat). There is also a train that connects between Buriram City and Korat. Taking that train trip was a very enjoyable experience, along with a mutual friend of ours. The time I have spent visiting there has always been good for me and it certainly has a different pace compared to the others I have been to. Worth a few days just for the interactions with the people and the environment. English is more challenging than elsewhere, but I have always been able to sort things out. An interesting place to chill, even when the temps are over 100. Cambo boarder not far either. It's not beach side action, just more like low key living. Which nowadays suites me just fine. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxyhog Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) I've had toothache for a few days so went to the dentist yesterday. Got a crack in upper left back tooth complete with an infection above it....dentist wanted to put me on antibiotics but I'm allergic to some of them so she's waiting on a call back from my GP surgery to tell her which one is OK....it's 1120 now & still waiting. Got another appointment tomorrow where she'll remove the filling to see if the tooth can be saved. £££'s.... Now I have to go 6 miles round the M25 to my demented mother who is getting a GP visit after I rang her surgery this morning about her feet & ankles,which resemble small footballs at the moment.

Glasseye Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Just found these two lost little puppies at the Kad Farang Market Village. They have an open clothing market today, and BINGO. I hit the jackpot. Hat, brand new, never worn, exactly the color I have been looking for. 50 baht Shorts, color and style have been looking for. Brand new, never worn. 100 baht Total 150 baht = $4.28 for a new ensemble **** The foot was free. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Smiler Posted December 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2023 It’s the big day tomorrow for the lad who is going to don the monk robes. This evening 90 kgs of moo arrived and now there is at least 25 people preparing the porker. The guys would appear to be doing the heavy work with the big blades ( and loakow of course). The more delicate butchering is being taken care of by the women. Certainly a great atmosphere with lots of laughter. Might get a bit messy later on. Events like this are what family and “the village” are all about. It’s not for everyone of course but I feel privileged to be involved. 1 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
