I did want to thank those that replied to my question concerning Thai holidays. The responses gave me some good ideas. Well, except for daboyz response.

Just read the Tsunami warning went off over there kind scary when I think I will be at Phuket in september. But what scared me the most is the fact the Tsunami warning buoy for Phuket is dead in the water. They never put in the budget to replace the batteries.

Don't they care about saving live. what would they say if the Tsunami did happen and killed people!!!!

Yep, Rin reminded me this morning! :whistle:

She had already sent a gift to her mother in Thailand. So, what is typical for Thai children (below the age of 14) to do for their mother on Mother's Day?

Good Thai ladies think alike.

My better half has a very practical/ecnomical side.

She saved us lots of money each time we travelled together.

Her reasoning was that it was "our" money, not just that she

was saving the rich farang's cash.

Yeap she is always looking out for the cash. To tell you the truth I change my dollars into baht, or after I hit the ATM and give it all to her.

I just as easy to let her deal with the people then me.

The original "grasshoper"

I just pulled "The Spirit of Shaolin" - David Carradine from the library.

I'll keep you up to date if I see anything of interest.

I'll be looking for the disclaimer: "Don't try this at home."

Shaolin

What a deal - get it on Amazon.com starting at $1.40

Woo-Hoo! :dance:

We're watching one of those police reality shows. Wife told me a hilarious story. If you don't have an ID card, She says if they think you are illegal from Laos or Burma, they will make you sing the Thai national anthem. If you cat do it, they take them to jail.

Note:

Please fill out I-130, wait 6 months for approval, then 3 more months for an interview. (Unless of course we've bombed your country into the stone age, then you qualify for expedited processing.)

"There are many theories about the death of Bruce Lee. My theory is that he died for the same reason as did James Dean,

Marilyn Monroe, John Lennon, Jimmy Hendricks (sic), Amelia Earhart, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Anwar Sadat, and John

and Robert Kennedy. he tried to grasp too much of the fire and it consumed him."

- David Carradine

For a fan of rock music, he should have at least spelled Jimi Hendrix right, but I'm not judging his theory here.

Seems a bit prophetic in any case.
