I thought as we had no kids, then all would go smooth, but hell NO!! it went pear shaped, to cut two years down to a small sentence. I now have my divorce certificate which I was going to hang on the wall, with the Hot Air Balloon certificate but that would be just reminding me of the pain and anguish.

Well after the separation and divorce, I have had a few trips to Thailand, one of those trips, a smile from a monk opened my eyes, to the fact HEY STUPID!! WAKE UP!!, smile the world is a nice place and life is too short.

So moving on from the past and being about to enjoy laugh again, is a reminder that life is too short to be angry and dwelling on what could have been etc is just a waste of energy.

I had some great news today, one of the young kids that I have been helping a little, has passed an enternace exam into a good school in Chiang Mai, while my help has been small, it is his hard work and love from the family that has got him to pass this exam and I am just as happy as the parents.

Do not really know what I am saying here makes sense to anyone but I am just letting out some feelings and emotions, looking forward to getting back to the Land of Smiles again.

She is exceptionally lovely and normal , just needs attention that I can not give for a while

Rather this way than her find new bf

This is genuine , if interested drop a line 

Bad luck gets even worse for this dude.  

Rule #1 of excessive drinking . . . keep your hair out of the toilet.  

That's voodoo, man.  Don't show him the iPhone.  

First time I've seen this one.  Pretty funny.  

My night began as any other normal weeknight. Come home, fix dinner, play with my dog Molly . I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my mind for the next few hours: "Maybe should pull the waxing kit out of the medicine cabinet."

So I headed to the site of my demise: the bathroom. It was one of those "cold wax" kits. No melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub the strips together in your hand, they get warm and ya peel them apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else) and ya pull the hair right off.

No muss, no fuss. How hard can it be? I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am mechanically inclined enough to figure this out. (YA THINK!?!)

So I pull one of the thin strips out. Its two strips facing each other stuck together. Instead of rubbing them together, my genius kicks in so I get out the hair dryer and heat it to 1000 degrees. ("Cold wax,"yeah...right!) I lay the strip across my thigh. Hold the skin around it tight and pull. It works!

OK, so it wasn't the best feeling, but it wasn't too bad. I can do this!

Hair removal no longer eludes me! I am She-rah, fighter of all wayward body hair and maker of smooth skin extraordinaire.

With my next wax strip I move north. After checking on Molly, I sneak back into the bathroom, for the ultimate hair fighting championship. I drop my panties and place one foot on the toilet. Using the same procedure, I apply the wax strip across the right side of my bikini line, covering the right half of my hoo-ha and stretching down to the inside of my butt cheek (it was a long strip) I inhale deeply and brace myself....RRRRIIIPPP!!!!

I'm blind!!! Blinded from pain!!!!....OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!!

Vision returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull off half the strip. CRAP! Another deep breath and RIPP! Everything is spinning and spotted. I think I may pass out...must stay conscious...must stay conscious.

Do I hear crashing drums??? Breathe, breathe...OK, back to normal.

I want to see my trophy - a wax covered strip, the one that has caused me so much pain, with my hairy pelt sticking to it. I want to revel in the glory that is my triumph over body hair. I hold up the strip!

There's no hair on it.

Where is the hair??? WHERE IS THE WAX???

Slowly I ease my head down, foot still perched on the toilet. I see the hair. The hair that should be on the strip...it's not! I touch. I am touching wax. I run my fingers over the most sensitive part of my body, which is now covered in cold wax and matted hair. Then I make the next BIG mistake...remember my foot is still propped upon the toilet? I know I need to do something. So I put my foot down.

Sealed shut! My butt is sealed shut. Sealed shut!

I penguin walk around the bathroom trying to figure out what to do and think to myself "Please don't let me get the urge to poop. My head may pop off!"

What can I do to melt the wax?

Hot water!! Hot water melts wax!! I'll run the hottest water I can stand into the bathtub, get in, immerse the wax-covered bits and the wax should melt and I can gently wipe it off, right???

*WRONG!!!!!!!*

I get in the tub - the water is slightly hotter than that used to torture prisoners of war or sterilize surgical equipment - I sit.

Now, the only thing worse than having your nether regions glued together, is having them glued together and then glued to the bottom of the tub...in scalding hot water.

Which, by the way, doesn't melt cold wax.

So, now I'm stuck to the bottom of the tub as though I had cemented myself to the porcelain!! God bless the man who had convinced me a few months ago to have a phone put in the bathroom!!!!!

I call my friend, thinking surely she has waxed before and has some secret of how to get me undone. It's a very good conversation starter "So, my butt and hoo-ha are glued together to the bottom of the tub!"

There is a slight pause. She doesn't know any secret tricks for removal it she does try to hide her laughter from me. She wants to know exactly where the wax is located, "Are we talking cheeks or hole or hoo-ha?"

She's laughing out loud by now...I can hear her. I give her the rundown and she suggests I call the number on the side of the box.

YEAH!!!!! Right!! I should be the joke of someone else's night. While we go through various solutions.

I resort to trying to scrape the wax off with a razor. Nothing feels better than to have your girlie goodies covered in hot wax, glued shut, stuck to the tub in super hot water and then dry-shaving the sticky wax off!!

By now the brain is not working, dignity has taken a major hike and I'm pretty sure I'm going to need Post-Traumatic Stress counseling for this event.

My friend is still talking with me when I finally see my saving grace....the lotion they give you to remove the excess wax. What do I really have to lose at this point? I rub some on and OH MY GOD!!!!!!!

The scream probably woke the dead and scared the shit out of my friend.

Its sooo painful, but I really don't care. "IT WORKS!! It works !!" I get a hearty congratulation from my friend and she hangs up.

I successfully remove the remainder of the wax and then notice to my grief and despair....THE HAIR IS STILL THERE.......ALL OF IT!

So I recklessly shave it off. Heck, I'm numb by now. Nothing hurts. I could have amputated my own leg at this point.

Next week I'm going to try hair color......

after taking off with 2 hours delay from new york , the captain decide to turn back again as we hit a group of birds, we felt the engine on the left side wasn't working properly, and here we are, birds crash...grrrrrrrrrr....(still remembering the hudson river landing due to the same problem)

let's see if tomorrow i will get some other flight to bkk.

is someone from south africa?my luggage could be there now, surely lost somewhere....grrr...

In times of national need, history has shown that countries can innovate fast — with enough funding. The government has been able to say “Deliver the goods now, we need them, quickly,” and has seen successful results, Secretary of Energy Steven Chu said in a talk today hosted by Stanford University’s Green Alliance for Innovative Action. The classic example: The Manhattan Project. Asked why the Department of Energy doesn’t launch an initiative like the Manhattan Project for green energy technologies, Chu said, well, we should — but the money isn’t there.

“If you look at the amount of funding for that [the Manhattan Project], and the amount of funding to put a man on the moon, it was a huge spike in funding.” For energy technologies that will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Chu said, “you still need I think tens of billions of dollars as a minimum per year invested in these technologies and the associated science.” The agency’s base budget, he said, is a far cry from that — just $3 billion. So it’s up to Congress, he said, to allocate more funds.

Chu, a onetime Stanford professor, began his talk with a rundown of the latest climate data and global temperature records. “This is recent data,” he said.

“It’s more than a smoking gun. The carbon in the atmosphere is due to humans.” Bottom line, said Chu, “The question is not will the earth warm up, it’s how much will it warm up.”

“We will live in a carbon constrained world. I don’t know when. Five years or 10 years. I hope it’s five years, worldwide. I hope it’s two.”

As for China, he said the country is now “spending over $9 billion a month to diversify and clean up their energy industry.” Noting one particularly pricey green project backed by China’s government, he commented, “A country essentially run by engineers is a good thing. Well, it’s not all good — I’d rather live here. But it has its advantages.”

A peak at the Senate's Energy Bill 2010

http://lugar.senate.gov/record.cfm?id=322910

Lugar’s practical Energy and Climate Plan would address the diversity of threats (national security, economic, and environmental) posed by our current energy situation, rather than focusing primarily on climate.
 
The plan focuses on the cheapest energy savings first – those that will save Americans money and will have minimal fiscal government impact – and it does not attempt to solve everything in a single comprehensive piece of legislation.
 
Goals:

    * Reduce foreign oil dependence
    * Save Americans money on their energy bills
    * Improve competitiveness
    * Diversify and clean-up power sources

 
Policy outline:

   1. Capturing Energy Efficiency

National building performance standard – long-term building codes with continuing improvement guidelines for new residential and commercial construction.

Incentive programs, such as low-interest loans, for retrofits of homes and commercial buildings (Thailand does not have the above programs)

Strong energy standards for appliances and lighting

   2. Diverse and cleaner electricity sector

Clean Energy Standard – a national mandate for the use of cleaner energy sources that sets guidelines but gives states flexibility, allowing diverse cleaner sources: renewable, nuclear and clean coal with carbon capture & storage.

Enhanced fiscally-responsible federal supports, such as loan guarantees

Early retirement program for the dirtiest coal plants


   3. Reducing foreign oil dependence

Long-term, automatically strengthening CAFE standards for cars and trucks
        
Full implementation of current 36 billion gallon renewable fuels standard
        
Enhanced domestic oil production (including outer continental shelf) as transition
