Never felt like so cut off from the world
Re: Never felt like so cut off from the world
Your not alone, everyone I talk to is feeling the same. My friends in England, Canada, Zambia and the States, all feeling cut off.
It cant go on forever...
And this too shall pass
It cant go on forever...
And this too shall pass
My entire life can be summed up in one sentence:
"Well that didnt go as planned".
"Well that didnt go as planned".

Probably the only thing from keeping me from losing the plot. Otherwise oppressive loneliness.
Love to hear her preparing for life in western world - exercising like a gym rat, preparing for beauty photo shoot, refresher course in driving an automobile, looking into firearms training. All the while whining that she’s doing ‘nothing’.
Hang in there everyone!
There must be an ending at some point in time!
The mind boggles.
Once you've read the dictionary, every other book is just a remix.

Samdech opened up a range to train Okhnas on firearms instead of relying on just their bodyguards for protection. Instructors from well known places like Gunsite was to staff it. Covid shut down that idea.
The other places are RCAF shops for tourists wanting to play with guns. Or throw a grenade. Or shoot a cow with an RPG. (Before the queen forbid it). All while drinking beers. Useless for solid firearms training. Told her to wait until she arrives. Then can start with the basics, starting with safety. Texas gives all it’s citizens the option for responsible firearm ownership. We welcome all fleeing expats. No state income tax as well.
The loneliness continues. Another day of no phone call for visa interview. Instead the ambassador is riding a Harley and eating Mike’s Burgers.

Speaking of "never felt so cut off from the world". How many decades has it been since "the missus" and "the wife" were the terminology of the day? Females are still property in 2020? Maybe in Cambodia.

By the way, there was an Amazon product question that asked about the range of the ‘wife’ (WIFI misspelled). About 300 responses. So at least a few hundred don’t find it antiquated, yet.

Re: Never felt like so cut off from the world
I am very grateful to have been properly settled here before all this covid thing kicked off. The weather and the unintended libertarian lifestyle as a result of inept government suits me down to the ground.
I have recently sent my entire life savings here by SWIFT. Not a massive amount of money but a lot for me and enough to buy some land and build a house. If travel returns to how it once was I will still go home once a year/every two years to see my family and friends. If not I will never go home again. Sure I will miss my family and mates - but miss my native country? Hell no!
I will die out here. Even if everything goes horribly wrong.

Did he say "my missus" or "my wife"? No. Since when has "the" indicated possession? FWIW I generally use the expression "the other half".
Maybe you should swap the SWA for SWMBO
Re: Never felt like so cut off from the world
I find your statement idiotic, but in case it just confused me and on the off chance that I can learn something, how does one properly refer to one's spouse on your planet, in 2020?
