@NIrish -- Nope, assuming Joe sticks to his dates, and Leo stays the full 30 days for his current VISA, and the next one, then scheduling works perfectly. Leo will be getting back to KK the same day as Joe's trip starts.
But yes, I do need him here to be able to get into and around town. I can't go by myself. I've tried a couple times, and random strangers just get all worried about me, won't leave me alone, and end up bringing me back home.

So, two caveats before we start then, ok - and there we thought you were this confident blind man now, whereas it seems not as you've even lost the power of speech it seems it telling people to fuck off and leave you alone when you want to go a place, awww must be tough. You should get Christian to pop up and teach you "fuck off and stop bothering me" in Thai so you can bumble about the place to your hearts content there no matter whether Leo from Lao is there or not.
Re: Do you believe cdnmatt's stories?
Well, what can I say? Going blind is a learning process. And yes, I'e pushed my boundaries, and many times more than I should have. I know what my limits are now.
Does take a good while to fully accept the new limits on your independence, but I think I have it figured now.
Re: Do you believe cdnmatt's stories?
Apparently not if you can't walk down the street alone. Time to get practicing, lots of time to get that sorted for January, no worries.
Re: Do you believe cdnmatt's stories?
Well, I can walk around just fine on my own. Now knowing where the fuck I am is a totally different story. When you're blind, it's not difficult to get yourself lost and disorientated.
And once you get lost, that's it, you're fucked. You could be 10m away from where you need to be, and it doesn't matter. You're simply stuck until a random stranger offers a helping hand. Thankfully, this is Thailand, so that's all around.
Nonetheless, I shouldn't be doing that, and instead need to learn my limits, which I think I have now. I can tool around to the local shops in my area, because I know the area as well as my own house. Anything further by myself though is a bad idea. Going to the market by myself, I have about a 50/50 chance of getting home on my own without help, so I've just learned not to bother trying.

I think the Board Admin should set up a Special Prosecutor to look into what is beginning to sound like the 'Cndmatt Affair'.
(Just in case anyone thinks of nominating me, forget it. I would immediately recuse myself. Joe would be the man ... he's off to KK anyway.)
Re: Do you believe cdnmatt's stories?
I'm actually really looking forward to what Mueller is going to find. 3 indictments (s) already, and if rumors are true, there's still about another 51 sealed indictments that have yet to be executed. I think there's a whole lot of people in the US government going down over the next few months.
From what I can tell, Mueller isn't fucking around. He's going out of his way to make an example out of the current US administration, just to let every politician in the country know this is simply unacceptable, and the principles and institutions of the US will hold up, no matter what.

I'm not too sure about that now, especially if he read matt's post above - #71.
The meeting is now predicated on the following 3 caveats, not 2:
1. Leo stays the full 30 days for his current VISA,
2. and the next one,
3. then scheduling works perfectly
But Joe is probably thinking, "Oh, fuck it! I'll go anyway. What could possibly go wrong?"

I know I can be away from the forum for a week, and assume others do the same, so I want to give everyone time to vote. I thought some would vote anonymously, but not publicly.
Re: Do you believe cdnmatt's stories?
No a447, don't worry, this works fine. Joe's given me a two months heads up, so I'll ensure Leo is here. It's just the way it currently works out seems perfectly aligned with the dates would already naturally be here. If needed though, we can change as necessary, and Leo won't mind.
