she thinks. she came here when she was "12" and started in 6th grade. she said her dad didn't really understand the forms when they were filling them out and he just made up dates/years/etc. according to the state she is three months older than i, but she says she is really, probably, maybe a couple of years. :confused:

--i don't like to write stuff down. i got married on a holiday so i'd remember. i forget stuff like birthdays and whatnot all the time. surprised i remembered "it" was yesterday, in fact.

:confused: Came here from where? You would think they would have some kind of service to help them out with that kind of stuff.

Laos.

Late 70s after the communists took over. She is Thai. But was living over the meikong river as her parents bought a store in Laos and was running it when stuff went down. Her dad was taken away with all the men to re-educate. Her mom put together some crazy plan for him to escape, then they all crossed the border back to Thailand and they sought refuge status. I'm not sure back then there was much in the way of records. As I am sure there is no record of her being born as a Thai citizen (her oldest sister and younger brother were. So we can't buy land there.).

I know a girl at work from there - I think she's ~35 or thereabouts, but she looks like she's in her early 20's. Gotta love the asian DNA.

Wait, so because her siblings are Thai, YOU can't buy land there? :confused:

if she "was" thai, she could. if you are a farang you can only buy "99 yr lease", which technically cover MY lifespan. but....

her sister and brother could buy land. i can only lease. she can only lease.

that was the point.

Ahhhhh, ok. It's weird that they would allow a proven sibling of a Thai (even though s/he may or may not be Thai) to not buy land there.

Hi, guys. I almost bought a Cadillac.

Since everyone else is obsessing over Asians (mookie's in particular), I'll change the subject back to this...

Why'd you almost buy a Cadillac?


Evening, Lodge. I get to play slightly newer oldey-timey soldier tomorrow and Sunday (Civil War Weekend) - bring on the hardtack and salt pork. And preferably, the burning of the South. ;)


EDIT: Ok, I see why the obsession now. :eek:

they are very particular about who is a citizen and who isn't and who can buy land. they were going to give tiger citizenship in the late 90s and people there created a chitstorm... so they didn't grant it to him.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 118: BoredboredboredBORED

Did she keep her original/ethnic name, or did she Americanize it?

I saw it. I liked it. It was relatively cheap. Bit it had the small V6 (it was an '03 CTS). If I'm buying a Caddy, I'm leaning towards the V8. Yeah, it's almost 8 years old, but it looked good. They only wanted $10K for it. If I was seriously in the market for a vehicle I might have gone down there Monday night and bought it.
