You should read that Hans Christian Anderson story about the most fashionable emperor of all time. And I'll give you hint -- AfterLOS ain't the emperor ... but on second thought, I'd like strutting about like the emperor, and a bunch of the birds with the same tailor, the emperor of a wild...

I remember when I was young, a Bugs Bunny cartoon, and the joke was "Dick, it's all about showing who wears the pants in the family". But in the modern version, it's "Ben Dover, with your gelled-to-make-messy hair and wispy between-stubble-and-beard and and shiny iPhone in hand and tight jeans...

Corner of Asoke and Sukhumvit -- isn't that Soi Cowboy? I used to love going there for the cheeseburgers, and there was good fish and chips around the corner.

Thanks, same for you too. I see your point in all of your posts -- the women you describe, wherever they are from, are happy as a normal state of being alive. But, you come to the US, it's like, if you're happy there must be something wrong with you. If anyone disagrees, just walk around all...

No need to be jealous of me, in fact the wondrous things AfterLOS describes, well, for me those things faded away about 10 years ago, when I go there now I see people like any other people anywhere else, trying .... ha ha, let me shut up here, all life is suffering, so if you can find anything...

I agree, I saw so many idiots with attitude that somehow being western they were the better people and insist on speaking English, talk down when the person didn't understand. But, come on, you're a guest in another country, fully by your OWN choice and no extraordinary condition, and can always...

i have to qualify though, skinny or fat doesn't matter to me. Polite, considerate and honest vs. rude, arrogant, impatient and demanding is more important. But, I'm already married for many years and don't care anyways other than the interaction of talking to someone and being friendly. I see so...

One of the drawbacks I found of understanding more Thai was that it brought back a reason for moving abroad that I had forgotten -- overhearing conversations. I'd lived in Thai for quite a while where I could hear people speaking but blissfully unaware of what was said. Then one day I noticed I...

Also, thank you for the insight on my previous post. I think I understand what was going on a bit more now ...

'Honey we gotta talk' -- I learned from a cartoon strip, the best response to this is: 'You say 'we', but since I know for a fact that I do not need to talk, I can thus only logically conclude you are talking as if you were the Queen of England, or you have worms !!!' It is very effective, I...

Wives have an excellent sense of timing and multi-dimensionality. Just as I'm at about 90% done with her last requested task, she has a new request she needs yesterday. This way, she can fault me for being slow if I finish the first task completely, or fault me for being sloppy if I leave it and...

Many years ago, when I'd first met my future wife, a business guy from the States visited, 65+, with his wife. She asked me if we ever found it difficult, you know, with the language barrier and all, that we couldn't talk about and express how we felt in detail, and really share our true...

It's not all easy with a Thai wife. If mine gets really angry, she shows it by not talking to me. On second thought, that's a good thing, because it could be worse -- she could continue talking to tell me all about it !!

The funniest thing of all -- written by a woman !! The same on Fox, about the war on men, it's always a debate between 2 women.

Speaking of the late-80's early-90's when the transition was well underway, I recall there was a very good reality TV show about it, "Married with Children". I'm so glad I was young enough to learn from it before my 'getting married' years, it saved me from a lot of bad decisions, the reality...

thanks, that gave me a few more.

I'm looking for ETFs that move inversely to an index, at a multiple of 3x or more, with average volume of 100k or more. Are there any? These are some I've found so far: ERY, SDOW, SPXU, FAZ, SRTY, EDZ, SOXS Rereading my question with the list added, I think instead of "any" I should...

Free -- Forex Strategy Builder at forexsb.com. It's called forex but you can use it with stocks etc, just get your data in a csv format, it can figure it out. Very good forum, they have a lot of indicators and a lot of customized ones too, sometimes a forum poster may code one for you or convert...

If it's not too much trouble, what about my proof of infinite primes? I'm sure there's always a standard proof that a mathmetician came up with, but I'm interested to see how my amateur reckoning and logic stood in comparison. Did it succeed in proving, fail in proving, incompletely prove, or...

start with algebra: 3p + 1 = x^2 solve for p and factor: 3p = x^2 - 1 p = (x^2 - 1) / 3 p = [(x + 1)(x - 1)] / 3 rewrite to show the point: p = (x + 1) * [(x-1) / 3] for any value greater than x = 4, the term (x-1) / 3 (with a result in Z the Ring of Integers) will be greater than 1, leading...
