Thread: Thai women and voodoo.....

Im blown away by the amount of support ive received from forum members . Some i have met some not..but all wishing us well. I reached out . to sort of vent my problem. Im very grateful for the support and the genuine heartfelt wishes

^^



The whole passport situation won't help yer own sanity. It's messed up that they are not allowed to get new Lao passports even though they've had them before. :/ Best of luck with that situation on top of all the other stuff going on.


Once it's all done and dusted, just think how good it's gonna be sitting back, knocking the top off a frosty-swirly and relaxing.

Exactly! You can't really truly understand unless you have been through something like that. Support is nice, but sometimes it may not be useful.
I have two family members that struggle with mental health problems. Not the same issues as BLD, but I have been directly impacted. It is hard sometimes when you see something and you feel powerless as you can't help as much as you'd like to. Things change so rapidly and you have no control over that.

I was wrong


At least they won't grab them for the army

Suprising how wrenching it is for some SEA ladies to give up their national passport as Lady Lao feels. Seems she is emotionally tied to her homeland and maybe a trip home at some point will be a balm.

I am doing Senorita Surabaya's citizenship application ATM and she seems a bit torn over the prospect of being a 'tourist' when she goes back to Java even though she rarely does and has to make sure she has a Resident Return visa before she goes which is a pain in itself. She has been here 18 years so an Aussie passport seems like a no-brainer to me.

She is not backing out now anyway as it has took me fookin hours to fill that form out including making up a story for every trip overseas in the last 10 years stamped in her Indo passport.

Curious copout qualifier at the end

Maybe need to check the small print on a possible Aussie exemption

Really happy to see the mods delete the awful crap that YD posted up yesterday. Totally vile and tasteless. The guy is really a waste of space.

Yesterday she was sending me youtube music videos all day and demanding i come to take her out for lunch i explained that i couldnt and she was pissed of told me not to call her at night as she needs the rest. This morning the same thing come to take me out. I need to buy lottery ticket.i need coconut water, i brought her the coconut water and fruit but again explained that im not taking her out until tomorrow, she stormed of no, i dont eat it i die. I stay here forever, you not my husband.

Yesterday another doctor on the ward called to inform me she is no longer classified as an involuntary patient i dont think they realise she doesnt know the difference

Theres no way i can bring her home tomorrow like this. This thing with the lottery tickets, does she think winning lotto is the only way to happiness? Waiting to speak with her doctor , cant call direct can only call the ward and ask them to page him to call me. Weird system

The usual lao last hope of gaining wealth and independency through the numbers.

Only road for millions of isaan/lao

Hell

I play the lotto too, but know that I "can't" win.

Hopefully that aspect of it is connected to the wider picture, and it sounds like it is.
