yeah man, it wasn't as awful as I thought it was going to be. It's really time consuming though.

well i think if you were to see her up close and pet her you would notice. Thanks for the compliment though, I did try really hard to do a good job.

The real problem in Vietnam is the absence of ability to get quality ANYTHING. Most of our stuff is Chinese garbage that never worked even when new. I had to borrow the clippers from a friend of mine that

One of the things that really makes a salad for me is how many croutons there are and whether or not the person making it was stingy with them. They were not stingy... that looks great!

Andy Weirs is really something else. He was a programmer before he was an author and while i don't think his story is romantic as JK Rowling's, I don't think he ever really planned to be a writer, it just

I suspect it was made 9 books long because the books kept selling and they figured, why the hell not?

People like this take advantage of the kindness of others. I am a really nice person but can turn dark really fast if my dog is involved.

They were all foreigners. The type that are giving all of us expats a bad name. I kept my cool for the most part but it was just kind of shocking.

Over the past decades, the amount of high cholesterol food I've been taking, the amount of cigarettes I've been consuming, the number of late night partying I've been wasting myself in, I'm just glad I

years ago I thought I was going to return to Thailand on a retirement visa once I was old enough. I no longer feel this way. Thailand just keeps screwing up over and over. I will travel there but have
