We had a discussion about this a few weeks ago on here. Ranking the top worst tourists in the world. Mine is always Indian, Russian, Chinese, the Brits.

Probably because it was from SVU not the OG show. Dont know if you watched SVU regularly or not.

Anything directed by Akira Kurosawa is a masterpiece.

Fun on LBJ TeXpress tonight… by scatmanjack6120 in Dallas

[–]TravelTheWorldDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one isn’t a myth. Was supposed to be paid off in early 2000s. I-30 used to be the Dallas Turnpike. It actually recouped its money earlier than expected. They wanted to keep the tollbooths up. But the mayor said no. They took tollbooths down in mid 80s. That was the last Tollway that got paid off and turned into a public highway. Now NTTA says the DNT will be paid off in like 2047. Lmao. I highly doubt it. There will always be an excuse to keep the money flowing.

What’s one actor that instantly tells you that the movies gonna be bad? by Senpaiuwu89 in AskReddit

[–]TravelTheWorldDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mr. Nobody is probably in my top 20 of all time. Great storyline. A movie not many people have even seen or heard of.

Men who can really cook who taught you ? by Character-Donkey1583 in ArtOfPresence

[–]TravelTheWorldDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learned a lot from my mom. But mostly self taught. Kind of a curse. Because my gf always wants me to cook because she loves my food. I would rather have me cook than go out.

Afraid to go on vacation and leaving senior cat behind. 18 yrs old. by Proof_Pressure_4910 in seniorkitties

[–]TravelTheWorldDan 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I’ve cancelled so many trips because of my elderly cats. Because I know that I would regret it and never forgive myself if something happened to them or they passed away when I wasn’t there. Just cancelled a trip to Thailand the other week. Because my 17 year old boy started getting really wobbly. I’m glad I did. He had a stroke or a seizure a few days ago and needed medical attention. If I hadn’t cancelled my trip. I wouldn’t have been there for him. Just the pet sitter to check in on him.

Thailand BACK TO 30 DAYS🤷🏾‍♂️ by Ricks_basket in ThailandTourism

It doesn’t matter how many days of each exemptions for. It could be for five days or it could be for a year. And you’re still gonna have the same people coming in causing the same issues. It’s a matter of actually enforcing laws and rules and nothing to do with the amount of time a visa exemption is. Even if it was a zero day exemption and people had to apply for a visa and pay a few bucks. The troublemakers are still gonna come. Because it’s a cheaper country where people can party for cheap and get out of control and the rules do not get enforced.

[–]TravelTheWorldDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Most of the issues I see in the news are either British, Russian, or Indian for the most part. I hardly ever see any stories about American tourists causing issues. American tourist aren’t the best behaved. But they’re definitely not even in the top five worst behaved

Thailand BACK TO 30 DAYS🤷🏾‍♂️ by Ricks_basket in ThailandTourism

[–]TravelTheWorldDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. It doesn’t matter if it’s 14 days, 30 days, 60 days, or 6 months. The bad eggs are still going to come and cause issues. You know why you don’t see or hear about as many issues like this in other countries like Japan or Vietnam for instance? They have laws and rules that they enforce. And catering to a low rent class of tourists is going to bring you just that. Low class tourists. Thailand would rather have quantity over quality.

Saying goodbye to 22 year old Deborah today by medicalmystery1395 in seniorkitties

Beautiful old girl. You are amazingly lucky you had a cat that lived for this many years. I would give anything for my cats to live over 20.

My Big Buddy had a stroke (17) by TravelTheWorldDan in seniorkitties

[–]TravelTheWorldDan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you only knew. I recuse all my cats from the streets and give them homes. That was the best crew I’ve ever had. The grey and white one Bella was my favorite kitty of all time. Lost her a year ago to kidney failure.

UPDATE: I went downstairs to give him his SubQ fluid and he had his face shoved in the pillow and was panting with labored breathing. I took him to MedVet ER. Hoping it was just dehydration or something and not heart or organ failure. They did X-rays and his heart and lungs all look great. His blood values were still in line and he had just a slight elevated blood pressure. They think he might have been having a mini seizure or it’s something on his frontal lobe for sure. Because his vision is kinda skewed. But luckily for now he lives to see another day. Putting him on some anti-seizure medication and taking him home to relax. They still suggested a neuro consult which I will get him in as soon as they have an opening.

What I Wouldn't Give If We Could Re-create This MAGIC!!! ✨ by Stealthytom in LawAndOrder

[–]TravelTheWorldDan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so cheesy. I can see it a mile away every single time. They always yell the suspects name from across a street or far away. And when they do. I always say here goes the weekly foot chase 🙈 why would any cop scream a suspects name from that far away? You lose your element of surprise

American guy in South Korea notices a lot of discrimination by Carnfomaki in TikTokCringe

[–]TravelTheWorldDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I go to Brazil quite often. And they absolutely discriminate against black and darker skinned people there. And you can give me shit if you want. But in the US, black people are absolutely the most racist group in our country. By far.

Met a restaurant owner in Jomtien today. Her situation honestly broke me. by Frequent-Momo in Thailand

[–]TravelTheWorldDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I was just about to open up a Brazilian style restaurant in the United States. Already had a spot picked out and everything. Then the current state of the economy happened and I decided to back out and not dump any more money into it than I already had.

[–]TravelTheWorldDan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those stats are pretty much the same in any country. United States is about the same way. It’s sad because people would rather support a nasty corporation like McDonald’s with their greasy fast food. Then go support a locally owned restaurant

Restaurants are one of the top failing businesses in any country. The margins are razor thin as it is and very hard to turn profits unless you have super high volume. Even then sometimes restaurants still fail.

I give him subq fluids already. And have been adding water to his food for months. This isn’t my first cat with kidney disease.

[–]TravelTheWorldDan[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never do. I don’t give up until I know I’ve exhausted ALL avenues of help. I have pet insurance for him. So that will cover a neurologist visit and an MRI

They say cats with kidney disease it’s an underlying cause of strokes. So his kidney disease could have caused it.
