  1. The proprietor insists I have and/or have had GFs from Isan because the word I use for the number 20 is from the Lana (northern Thailand) dialect. It is an ongoing and now daily debate. Additionally, she insists she knows of no island girls who might be even the least bit interested in teaching me their language of love, ways of life, dialect, etc.

    Woe is me.

      Maybe she wants you to ask her out? Or maybe she is just another member of your nemesis, the mother hen society πŸ™‚

    1. I started to laugh at this comment, then I felt like crying. You conveyed so much with very few words. Well done. I wish it didn’t have to be said, but you said it very well.

      1. So, in the end it turns out that men are the ones the Mother Hen Society is really protecting? You are welcome πŸ™‚
