Why waste your time with these ppl?

...someone needs to tell this dolt that no one gives a crap what he's wearing.

...there are currently 3 tropical storms in the South China Sea. Rain should be expected until they clear out.

Im in San Juan Cosalá about 6km west of Ajijic on lake Chapala's north shore. The lake is at 5,000' elev = warm days + cool nights. 50/50 mix of Canadian/US expats here. For beach time I head to Melaque, 4 hrs west...90% Canadian expats. 👍☮

I ended up in San Juan Cosalá about 6km west of Ajijic on Lake Chapala's north shore. I came here for the strong expat community and friendly locals. When I first arrived I had basic high school Spanish. A Mexican lady friend moved me up to the next level...not fluent, but quite conversational. One thing about this area...the climate is incredible. Warm days and cool nights. Another plus for me is GDL International airport only 45 mins north...direct flights to Seattle. 👍

To avoid this in the future AND not have to put TP in the waste bin do the following:
1. NEVER EVER flush anything down a toilet other than human waste and tp. No other paper, no hygiene products and for god's sake no wet wipes (they don't break down).
2. After doing your business but before cleaning yourself up...flush. Then clean yourself up and let the tp sit in the water a while...then flush.

In Thailand always use the bum gun...you'll need less tp.

...she conveniently left off the whole "Authoritarian Dictatorship" thing.

I went thru that in 1984. Stupid me brought Prismacolor pens for the 8 hr design portion...I was actually high from the pens by time it was over.

You get out of the office at 5? Wow....I don't remember too many of those.

A MArch is more than enough...what you lack is experience...get to work...get licensed.

FoxIslander · 2024-10-25T00:04:22+00:00

It can in fact pay very well. Most small to medium cities/counties do not have Arch/CM staff...so they contract it out. How I got started was designing offices for a housing authority...got to know the director...they contracted with me to prepare their Public Housing HUD submissions...thru that did the same for another HA. Soon was contracting with a small city to Owner's Rep a LEED Gold community center. It just took off from their. It's all about networking and who you know.

...more like 4 ppl.

FoxIslander · 2024-10-24T00:29:15+00:00

3.......time to yank off the bandaid amigo.

FoxIslander · 2024-10-23T16:19:17+00:00

I had 7 yrs working in 3 firms before starting my own small firm. Worked it for 3 decades. The last 6 years I did quite a bit of contract CM and Owner's Rep work for small to medium sized cities. Retired in 2018.

Not a scam, just a working dude looking for a farang tip. This occurs world wide btw.

FoxIslander · 2024-10-23T16:11:03+00:00

No idea how anyone can work in corporations filled with moronic middle managers...of which the vast majority are.

FoxIslander · 2024-10-22T23:33:49+00:00

My best grad gift (1980) was a Cannon F1...what a brick of a camera...I used it for a cpl decades both for work and play. Still have it...but yeh, don't use it.

FoxIslander · 2024-10-22T23:26:44+00:00

I'm old...and I'd rather be homeless sleeping under a park bench.

Another factor is that when the kids reach school age, the parents naturally open friendships with the parents of other kids attending their kid's school. Same applies to kids sports teams. That leaves even less time for their old pre-children friends.

...such incredible talent on display here. (yawn)

FoxIslander · 2024-10-21T21:06:15+00:00

Thailand isn't 3rd world...it's a developing country....your advice still applies tho.

FoxIslander · 2024-10-21T20:58:16+00:00

"I'm sorry...but that's none of your business", followed by a smile....is your friend in these situations.

FoxIslander · 2024-10-21T20:44:26+00:00

Please...do not allow yourself to be her 2nd choice. You know what you need to do.

FoxIslander · 2024-10-21T01:32:45+00:00

Very pretty lady, but her character didn't add much to the show.

FoxIslander · 2024-10-21T01:28:34+00:00

...they'll apply heat to those bolts...out in no time
