Spent the morning just kicking back and relaxing. In the afternoon, I went out to the tailor's to get measured for a suit. A 47-inch waist? Holy shit.
After that, I went and visited with Bob at his restaurant, and we looked at logos for the new place he is opening. Then, I went and visited with Rick, who has just arrived back from Vietnam and Cambodia, where he is busy opening new schools. Then, it was over to Stan's house. Stan was busy planning the layout of the model railroad room that he wants to build. After that, it was back home for a while.
In the evening, it was out to Lennies, where Manfred bought me a drink. Then it was out to TQ2 where Eric, Stan, Russ, Collin, and Wood, bought me drinks... and then Manfred showed up from Lennies, and bought me yet another drink. Then, it was over to Champion where Chris bought me a drink.

DID YOU BUY THEM DRINKS?
Some yes, some no. I didn't buy Manfred a drink at Lennies, because he bought me a shot of Fernet just because I had never had it before... and he just wanted me to try it.
I didn't by Eric a drink, because he wouldn't let me, as he wanted to go home. I did buy Stan 2 drinks.
Wood and Russ buy me drinks because they are TQ2 managers, and I buy tons of drinks for the staff there. (For every drink I buy for myself, I usually buy 4 or 5 for dancers and waitresses.) Russ and Wood don't expect me to buy them drinks... although about half of the time I do return the favor.
I bought a drink for Collin. I didn't buy a drink for Manfred, because I was walking out the door to go to Champion when he bought me a drink to get me to stick around, even though I asked him not to buy me one. When I got to Champion, I bought Chris a drink.
Jil it seems that your very nice lifestyle is expanding you wasteline?
What was the waist measurement last time you had a suit made my friend?
Must be all the calzones and all the restaurant reviews that you have to do.
When I was in the Navy 20 years ago, I was 145 pounds with a 29-inch waist line.
When I graduated college 15 years ago, I was 150 pounds with a 32-inch waist line.
When I moved to New York City 10 years ago, I was 160 pounds with a 35-inch waist line.
When I moved to Thailand 5 years ago, I was 180 pounds with a 40-inch waist line.
Now I'm 220 pounds with a 47-inch waist line. Ick.
I went up 5 pounds in the first 5 years, 10 pounds in the second 5 years, 20 pounds in the third 5 years, and 40 pounds in the fourth 5 years. That means I should weigh 300 pounds 5 years from now, and 460 pounds 10 years from now.
Ha ha I like your mathamatics my friend. I hope that your calulations are wrong though and maybe you increase a little slower.
It must be the good food in Pattaya and the drinks they serve at TQ2 must have something in them as well.
At least in 10 years I should be able to spot you easily in Pattaya.
Jil if you can let Franky know I am unable to view his blog anymore as it is invite only and I haven't been invited. I miss his antics.
Thanks Brunty.
You think possibly that 47-inch waist of yours has something to do with the absolute crap you constantly talk about eating? Calzones, BBQ, burgers, subway.... Jesus, do you ever eat THAI food? Do you think of COOKING for yourself? Or just eat better?
Reading this blog I have often been struck at the absolute garbage you feed yourself day in and day out and wondered how fat you must be. You've never shown a photo of yourself online. Now I understand why.
God Bless America. Fattest country on earth.
Actually, I haven't gained a pound in 18 months... regardless of what I am eaten. See here from September of 2005, when I noted my weight was 220. I just weighed myself and I'm still exactly 220 pounds.
So, although it's heavy... it's apparently stable. The principle reason I've gained so much weight is because here in Thailand, my job is about as sedentary as one can possibly get: There are entire days where I don't walk more than 50 feet in total. In New York City, I had to contend with subway stairs and walks to and from apartment and offices on a daily basis. Before that, in Houston, I was on my feet 8 hours a day in a restaurant. Before that, in college, I was in the pool 2 hours a day for swim team, plus walking to and from campus. In the Navy, I was doing heavy lifting 5 or 6 hours a day.
So my weight really is not a function of how much or what I eat — I've always eaten the same thing — but instead is a function of how active I am.
Jil,
can you get Brunty's email so I can add him?
Nice previous poster; a real warm heart he must have to be so worried about your weight and health. It is nice to see such an outpouring of concern.
Isn't the love of your fellow human beings great?
Actually Brunty, just click on "Franky" in his posts above, and it will take you to his profile page where you can contact him.
Ah thank you Jil I am such a computer nerd!
Brunty
Man I am in idiot. What fees do you charge to idiots like me. Ha ha
Thanks Jil
Jill, can you delete my email address from this post? I added brunty today.
thanks!
I was curious about the comment about "America, fattest country on earth"...
Actually, America is the 9th fattest country on earth. New Zealand isn't too far behind at 17th place (out of 200 countries, remember) with 68.5% of its population over weight. Australia is next at 21st with 67.4% overweight, and the United Kingdom comes in at 28th place, 63.8%... beating out 7/8th of the other countries on the planet, and Canada is at 35th place with only (only!) 61.1% of it's population overweight.
The conclusion? Mr. Anomymous has about a 2-in-3 chance of being a fat ol' hypocrite himself, since he is (I assume) from one of those other almost-as-fat-as-America countries. Regardless, say what you want about America being fat... chances are the same holds true for whatever country you come from.
