[QUOTE=Zman429;2098351]As far as blood clots they test for the red blood count and keep it below a certian level your ok, of course the press neglects to mention this. Anyhow, I'd definitely get your levels checked no harm in that. [/QUOTE]This is just wrong.

Red cell count has minimal to no effect on the blood's readiness and ability to clot. Proteins in the blood plasma and platelets are responsible for blood coagulation (clotting).

If someone is testing your red cell count and telling you it gives them an indication of your blood clotting ability then they are having you on. How are they going to reduce your red cell count and keep it below a certain level? Open a vein perhaps.

Even Wikipedia has a better description.

Here's a couple of paragraphs and this is my doctor.

Polycythemia is an excessive production of red blood cells. With polycythemia the blood becomes very viscous or "sticky," making it harder for the heart to pump. High blood pressure, strokes and heart attacks can occur.

During the first 2 years we had to take a small dosage of the Anastrozole a day after the shot. Then they found a way to include it in the shot like a compound that works together.

I had a friend that was on the regiment and his red blood count rose higher and the clinic had him stop taking the shots and off the program. I guess this is a side effect that can happen on the drug. I have not heard of any other side effects, and there are a lot of men in Honolulu on this program.

Just arrived Bkk and resting for the evening activities.

I would like to be transported, not to the future to spend my retirement, but back to Thailand of 1983, the time of my first visit, with no internet and no mobile phones of course, and no Nudie bars to my knowledge. Not sure about Pat Pong. I think I was aware of lady boys though on beach in Phuket I believe. My current GF would be a very small skinny child at the time.

Does anyone know what is the VOA fee as of now? Up till now it was 1000 THB. Last year it was increased to 2000 but shortly it was again reduced to 1000. The Thai website had a circular saying that the reduction in fee was upto 31st. August 2017. Wonder if it is still 1000 or increased.

[QUOTE=Smoothy;2101640]If I went back to 1983, my current GF wouldn't be born yet for another 14 years.[/QUOTE]Well yes, I am a bit too old to be having a 20 YO GF. I am using the divide by 2 and add 7 years to get the ideal age.

This makes my GF almost the perfect age for me now, and not surprisingly we are becoming more suited than we were 10 years ago. We start to understand each other and be very tolerant of each other's weaknesses. Mind you she was awfully pretty 10 years back (in her late 20's). Face had to go downhill just a little.

Time changes things unfortunately and girls we used to like many years ago, sometimes don't appeal any more. 1991 I became very keen on a Soapy girl from the Thermae Soapy. 20 years later she split from her USA husband and I met her again. Then overweight and the attraction was not the same. Originally she help teach me colloquial Thai and taught me DATY expertise. 20 years later she thought I was greatly improved. She had gone downhill. Kept saying the same things over and over, record was stuck. No not so good looking 20 years on.

Another girl I met as a Gik OS for many years eventually deteriorated too much in looks for me to be interested. Is probably close to 50 now.

A few years back I used to do a Sheba girl, very slim with a great ass, regularly. She was a bit wild LOL. Smoked, too much alcohol, gambler, did drugs (Ice), too loud, etc. No responsibility at all. After a condom accident I had to force her to take the morning after pill. Maybe a year later she disappeared from Suzi Wong for a while. I rang her and guessed correct she was pregnant presumably to some Thai boy I thought, but who knows. Fortunately timing made it impossible for me to be the culprit. Finally she returned to Suzie Wong.

Now her fabulous ass was gone. Her pussy no longer suited my dick. Don't know what the doctor did, but her inner lips were now taunt stretched unnaturally. I did not like it. I had a different regular girl in Suzie W at that time. Now a few years later she turns up to work in Shark. I just happened to be there on her first night. She seemed to expect our relationship from years ago to be back to normal. LOL Then she got drunk and started biting like a Monkey. In fact she went more crazy than she had ever been before. She could not understand what had happened to us, since "she loved me so much" (LOL at least when drunk). Apparently I had helped her somehow when she had the baby. I could not remember the details at all. Maybe I sent her some money, based on so many sex parties we had had in the past (often threesomes). No clue. In the recent meeting she did not seem to comprehend that she was just a fun party girl to me in the past, and no one wanted a girl with all her wild traits to be a girlfriend. Other Shark girls tell me she did not come back after that one night. No clue what happened to her. The moral is clear though. Young Thai hookers need to be sensible and make some savings, not party all the time, and above all, take the pill and not get pregnant. Consider what they will do in the future. She claims to have no Thai BF.

One of my current bargirls is still very young, but does not seem to work enough to get any money for the future. I wonder what will happen to her. She does not seem to be looking for a BF at all. Now she has assets of a pretty face and very nice white sleek body. What happens when they are gone?

[/QUOTE]I use the divide by four and add four years rule. Problem solved!

Rupert Murdoch was a little more sensible, only 25 years younger for Jerry Hall (I share her birthday).

[QUOTE=LAGuy5;2101934]I was basically joking about the use of any such precise rule, which I find kind of funny, but yes and yes.[/QUOTE]Although a bit of a joke, the divide by 2 and add 7 seems to actually work out in reality to be close to the right mark.

The first Thai girl I fell for was only 2 years younger so clearly was too old for me. She ended up with am older guy.
So when I was 35, taking a girlfriend around 24 was about right. I actually had a couple of GFs too old at that time (according to the rule) that did not last.
When I was 44, taking a girlfriend of about 29 seemed right.

My last GF was taken too young, but has become about right now. It is very clear that as we get older, we are happier to take a progressively larger age gap.
There is no way I could take a girl of the same age as me now. I think the oldest girl I ever fucked was probably only 45 or so, and first did her when she was less than 25.

Perhaps my GF will be still very doable at 50. Hope she doesn't let herself go to fat.
