Why stay?

Who else here has been able to give you practical advice about your Will? https://sawatdeenetwork.com/v4/showt...php?20246-Will

How's that going by the way? Any closer to being triggered?

If you're interested in knowing what "real" Thais think about their fellow Thais, this article in Khaosod may be of interest. Essentially real Thais' behaviour involves "lying, smiling and avoiding conflict". Casual conversations between a foreigner and a Thai, in Thai, are unlikely to penetrate such "Thainess"

I visited a friend's condo yesterday where, for some inexplicable reason"Judge Judy" was on view. My beliefs about the banality of everyday conversation were reinforced. Imagine it in Thai

There's a chance that might be because Judge Judy is bat-shit insane.

I think that's the same lady, right? I don't know, I only found out about this Janine Piro lady on FOX News after I went blind, but I'm pretty sure they're the same person, right?

He's crazy.

It's not the Judge who's insane (if you want insane try Jim Cramer on the NBC money channel) - it's the fuckwits who appear before her. Oh sorry, the ordinary folk who if I listen long enough might drop a pearl of wisdom I could use

It's not the Judge who's insane........- it's the fuckwits who appear before her.

Yeah, that would be bat shit crazy Judge Judy who is estimated to have a net worth of around $400 million and earns around $47 MILLION dollars a year in salary from her shows and in 2017 sold the rights to her shows for just over 100 million dollars ! Yep, mad as a box of frogs that woman !

Oh and just in case people aren't aware the people who appear also get paid too plus "whatever" cash award judgement she hands down to either party. whether they be at fault or not also gets paid in full by the TV company. So I guess if you DID have some ( usually frivolous) outstanding claim against a friend or family member and you both fancied a day out and "being famous for a day for being on TV" then I guess there's worse ways of getting your case resolved free of charge .......if that's your cup of tea of course - but bat shit crazy " Judge Judy" ( who was a real judge btw) is NOT.


PS the reason I know - it was one of my dad's fav programmes as he loved the shit she gave people who dared to answer her back in the wrong tone.

I guess if you propose that wealth = personal value that's a reasonable comment. In my view it leads straight to Donald Trump

[Nirish guy]

That’s on the aaaumption that he is / was “rich” I guess. That as I’m sure you know is a matter of great debate still as to whether he is genuinely rich or it’s all smoke and mirrors of course. Although now that he’s Pres I’m sure he’ll never have to worry about making money again.

The quantum of anyone's wealth is irrelevant - it's whether wealth in any degree is a measure of someone's value. Trump clearly believes it is. So apparently do you
