    I'm amazed at how many people throw cigarette lighters into the sea. Maybe there is a cigarette lighter factory near by. I've lived most of my life near the ocean and can't remember ever seeing a lighter. It's a mystery. 😊

    • @steverosse
      @steverosse 5 дней назад

      Nobody is throwing lighters in the sea. Ninety percent of the plastic trash in the oceans comes from city streets. A dog knocks over a trash can, the trash goes in the gutter, the gutter goes to a sewer, the sewer goes to a river, the river goes to the sea. The sea grinds most of it up into microparticles, but lighters are made to hold compressed gas; they are enormously strong and durable. They'll float around for years and never even lose their bright colors. Most of the lighters I find were probably used by street food vendors in Yangon to light their charcoal braziers.

      @@steverosse To echo the other soul, any deadline you thought you had was self-imposed. Need not be a certain day of the week but a maybe in eight weeks, well, what does one say... Next, in the one vid you were in a town on an overpass. Assuming your town and besides what appears to be Tesco/Lotus (Google maps) what else is there? A 7-11 by any chance? Since appears that Thai 7-11s put US of A 7-11s to shame. So maybe a vid on your town. No great/long exposition, just a, here's the Tesco/Lotus, the 7-11, this is best clothing store, and here is where you go for a massage with a happy ending, etc. By the way, may be this vid, but in one you mention mosquitoes. How much dengue and malaria is there? Only consolation re malaria in SE Asia is that is vivax and not falciparum. Had a client who was once hospitalized owing to coming back from the FSM (Federated States of Micronesia) with dengue. Breakbone fever indeed. You and I are not spring chickens, he was in his mid-40s. So be safe. And are there sandflies? If so, how bad are they? Not the bites, but how many. Thanks. I live in HNL. We don't have sandflies and the state does all within its power to keep them out (no. 1 income source is tourism)(ditto the green tree snakes from Guam). Would stay here but appears that after 30 years I am finally starting to develop rock fever, as it were. Just need to last another 3-4 years, then I can go. Again, be safe.

    Was a practicing trial attorney for more years than I care to remember (plaintiffs personal injury aka an ambulance chaser). Does my client's case have more merit if we're both wearing Gucci? But speaking of good clothes, sure, John Dapper Don Gotti (he who loved Gucci), and ever see a serial killer, mass murderer or spree killer not have on their Sunday best in the courtroom? Perhaps they might have shown some respect when it mattered. And if I have no respect? For most, it's either proof of monthly income, which your 1.5K in SS does not meet, so you're parking 800K baht in a Thai bank. And like the paroled felon that you are, those 90 day reports. So what are they expecting, exactly? Why in my comment to your most recent vid, gains and losses, no fan of the non-O. Maybe you'll do me a solid so I can spend my 65K baht monthly or your banks get cheap use of my money. Since you could say, no, in which circumstance me and my money go elsewhere. And please don't pretend it's all sweetness and light. Pit vipers, rabid soi dogs, those monkeys, freelancer kathoeys who can knock my lights out (not in a good way), dengue, malaria, all that trash, those road deaths, etc. In other words, maybe they need up their game. And, no, Sin City (Pattaya) won't ever be a family destination, no matter how many pronouncements they make. Try remember that we have that madness re clothes not to show respect but so some could put a value on us via our clothes, as in, how much money we have, so how much power, and act accordingly. Me and my fellows would every now and again joke over lunch...in the next revolution they won't need to bring rope since our ties work just fine. Not for hanging but for garroting. What is a farang ghetto? I've heard of expat enclaves but never expat ghettos. You gave yourself away with that one. By the way, Hua Hin is small and unassuming enough and there's actually something there. Pancakes, for starters (what you need not give up, despite your prior report)(never tried Mexican food since enough of that back home; besides, even in Las Cruces enough of the Mexican is not Mexican but Tex-Mex, which is mighty tasty but not Mexican). Re mosquitoes, not a hard one. There's water, presumably a vent of some type and while their brains are miniscule it's not rocket science to hang out in the bathroom waiting for you to put your behind down on the toilet whereupon you are a rather inviting target. Back to clothes and respect, given your art hobby, perhaps they might show some respect by not littering the landscape with their plastic and other refuse. A recent piece on how Patong was literally bathed in trash during and following the recent poor weather. By the way, also appears that if one desires to avoid dengue, one might avoid Phuket. The Thai official did not say that, but she did report the highest incidence of dengue cases out of 11 areas in southern Thailand. Lastly, was in your retirement vid but the problem is not, no health insurance, but instead, how far are you from any decent emergency facility? One of my reasons for Hua Hin when the time comes. By the way, if was me, I'd stick with the nitro. Odds for survival for #3 may be poor but so long as not zero there's hope. You have enough souls here, judging by their comments, who'd miss you.

    During Jane Austen’s era, ladies were ‘at home’ to visitors for morning visits. Visitors were expected to stay a minimum of 30 minutes to be respectful but not more than 60…. If a Lady wasn’t ‘at home’ well she might be at home but not receiving guests, then the visitors could leave their card. Not many people carry cards now so if you had a visitor book out front you could avoid intrusive visits if you were busy.

I’m a story teller, I volunteer as a Tour Guide in my City by the Sea here in Southern England. Have you maybe read Brighton Rocks by Graham Green, or seen the original film with John Mills as Pinky?

    7 years ago we retired and downsized… both sets of our parents had died before 2003… plus in 2015 our adult son emigrated to Australia so we had x5 people’s stuff in attics, garages, sheds, stables… and hadn’t dealt with any of this stuff plus our own accumulated detritus of living in the big family house for 28 years. We did well, it took 2 years, we got rid of 90% of it… and moved. Phew we did it. We paid monthly to store the 8% and lived quite happily with 2%. After a year we couldn’t recall what the 8% was in those 50 stored boxes… so we got rid of it all. We now live with 2% and we’re still filtering stuff. We feel ashamed of all this stuff we accumulated…. we now live a much more minimal life and it’s great.

    It’s weird watching these 2022 oldest vlogs before you moved to Thailand having seen your latest vlogs 2024…. so satisfying to see the story from the beginning. I’m excited to realise just how many I can ‘consume’ to catch up to date…. tbh I’m also feeling sad in anticipation of the time in the future when I’ll have to wait for weekly vlogs like everyone else ha! Id been binge watching another channel so I know how this goes… now I wait for his weekly vlogs. You’re only the third channel I can stand to watch all the way through, most are just awful and cringeworthy. My channel tribe appears to be you, Tim, and a Michigan guy called Rob (Robb Reset) he doesn’t know how good he is, or why ….he’s kind of a philosopher of his internal life which is appealing. Thank you for your book recommendations also the guy who does clever editing, but a bit too overwhelming for me…. The plan is to come to Thailand 3/4 mths a year then longer term. The first recce is Feb 2025….so let’s see. We have hobbies: we play Saxophone, read, talk, laugh etc so we’re self sustaining.
