Nursing Home or Home with Private Nurse/Helpers

As usual with this forum, ask a sensible question and receive foolish answers!

Smiles posted this: I think that would be an "is".
I was in Chiang Mai in January and asked a friend who has lived there for 10 years whether dear Geezer was still of this world and living happily in that retirement home. Answer was an encouraging "yes".


Smiles your friend is wrong! Geezer returned to Pattaya to live with his ex-Thai bf and family about a month ago. He looks and sounds the same but did update his wardrobe a bit.
And he is enjoying life here in Sin City.

In what sense is Smiles' answer "foolish"? He asked in January and received a hearsay answer. A "month" ago (let's be generous and say "late February") the subject of Smiles' query and hearsay answer returned to Pattaya. Are you just being "Mary, Mary, quite contrary" francois?

My apologies to one and all if my post was misunderstood.

The first sentence was not directed at Smiles, but rather to those who continue to provide foolish answers to serious questions.

The remainder of the post was in response to Smiles post about Geezer.

My mistake for not clearly separating the two comments. Francois not Mary, Mary...5555

I didn't misunderstand it.

Come on, francois, I was merely trying to lighten up an otherwise depressing topic - one many do not want to think about.

I think you should lighten up a bit, too.

Good to hear that. Can't imagine anything more depressing than living in a retirement village amongst other elderly people. Of course it's quite another matter if daily medical care is needed.
