The voice of experience

Hi Hillary,

Thanks for the compliment, even I have come to you for advice, it was 3 yrs. ago, you helped me get what I now know to be a silly idea out of my head.  There will always be a need for you.  I am just one of a small number of expats, now about 4 of us I know who have 30+ yrs. in LOS.  We all started as young men, I was 29.  We all have never suffered any devastating attacks of stupidity.  20 yrs. playing the bar scene, I never got ripped off once.  Not so much because I speak a fair bit of Thai, but because I learned when to.  I’m from New York, as we say; “Don’t hate the game, hate the players, to be good at the game, learn how to play”. You’re doing a great job on advice,  I have learned to keep mine limited, and my opinions measured.  I like my life drama free.  Since you don’t seem to mind, I’ll just leave a comment from time to time.

Dear Dill,

Thank you very much, Petal, and it is always a pleasure helping out people like your good self.  However, after 30 years in the local scene, you should have picked up quite a few pointers.  Now you can “Buy me drink!”
