You tell it brother..Amen!

But, I've found that if you just take things one day at a time and do
what you can each day somehow, all at once, you find that you have,
somehow, worked your way out of the mess and are back afloat.


Right on bro.......almost ready for the For Sail sign!

I'm not much of a drinker but I do believe that the AA guys have
something with their one day at a time thing.

Ya, I wish i could hang wit dat crew but booze is a cheep and

Yes, well... Prices have gone up some from what you saw back in the
70's. But you are talking MPC? No MPC in Thailand. If you are talking
about Viet Nam I rotated stateside in 1967 and went back once in about
1972, or there about, to look at a job and I thought that the prices
had gone up some then so imagine that they are sky high now.

Prices in Thailand, since 1970, has gone up quite a lot. It is hard to
talk prices as bars range from bamboo hootch to posh establishments
but as a sort of average I'd say that a bottle of beer would run
between 50 - 100 baht a bottle and a "lady" about 1,000 baht a night.
The exchange rate is *about* 33 baht to the US$.
