Just don't be there in the wet season then it ain't so good.

You guys started by depressing me and ended leaving me feeling fortunate for where I have been to where I am going. From my humble council house in Glasgow to a nice bungalow in the California suburbs to the five acre estate in the country that looked beautiful in spring but turned to a dried up desert by end of summer to a tiny condo in the city, but now things are on the way to building our final retirement place in SiSaKet Province

hmm that is strange actually maybe its manic depression? have you ever been diagnosed with that?

It's not just the house you should never go back to, it is pretty much everything. Never look back cause nothing is ever the same (obviously).

I have owned several homes throughout the western US and never really want to go back and take a look. The same goes for all the women I have been with in my past.

The house I have in Thailand will not be the same in 20 years and I am OK with that. It is just the natural progression of things.

The best way to be is just realize nothing in ones life is permanent and live life knowing that what you have now can be gone tomorrow and that includes your partner.

Makes my life easy thinking like this, I'm prepared for the worst and embrace the best I have in my life at this time.

I've seen peoples life go down the shitter when their house burns to the ground and they have lost everything.

Learned many years ago on the front line that ones possessions are not guaranteed.

One thing I hold important is Money, one can start again with money at ones disposal but if one is poor and shit happens one is truly foked.

Last year I went back to the town where I was born. I visited the houses I lived in, lots of places I remembered from my youth and quite a few new places that were built after I left. I really enjoyed going back there and soaking up the atmosphere but funnily enough I felt less connected to the houses I lived in than the other places I knew. One thing that made me smile when I visited the house I lived in up to age 5 was seeing a sign on the door saying 'Welcome' in Thai.
