Aug 8, 2013 at 17:22Hey well Daniel you can always not be lazy then you can say you are good looking and not a slacker. Do they just put these up on any tree? Never been to Thailand so is there a reason they do this or is it just in a particular area?

Aug 8, 2013 at 18:46I only saw signs like this on the grounds of the Phra Singh temple in Chiang Mai, but they might have something similar elsewhere. I don’t really know why they put all these sayings up, but it makes for some interesting reading while hanging out in the shade under the trees.

Aug 12, 2013 at 19:59I think you nailed it: there’s plenty of glory; we just can’t be bothered to remember it, once it’s in the past…

Oct 15, 2013 at 07:37This sign was meant for you I think. Ha ha. I am the Jill you knew in Chicago. It has been ten years. You look older. Glad you are doing what you love. Me too. I am happily married with a 4 year old son. I am a stay at home mom. best wishes to you.

Oct 15, 2013 at 13:28I can’t help looking older, but now I actually feel old….10 years?!? It sounds like you’re doing really well. That’s great! Not that I would want to trade…my sister has a two year old and from watching her, I now know with almost 100% certainty that kids are not for me. I have a hard time going a day without sleep, let alone 2 years…I don’t know how you parents do it.

Oct 15, 2013 at 17:03Lol. Yes, being a mommy has kept me very busy, but I absolutely love it. I know it was my fate and destiny, what I was meant to do, and it makes me very happy and fulfilled. And, it seems like you are living your dreams of traveling and teaching. I remember back when we were friends in Chicago you were heading out to Japan to teach English. Remember that funny bar in our old neighborhood in chicago. I have not been there in ten years. ha ha. And, I still live in the chicago area. I love chicago. Well, I had a random feeling maybe you were a travel blogger or travel photographer or something like that now and that was why I looked you up. And I was right. good luck. nice touching base with you and knowing you are alive and well. Me too. 🙂 take care.
Daniel McBane says
Oct 16, 2013 at 16:20Thank you and the same to you. I definitely remember that bar. I actually really liked Chicago, but I’ve realized in the years since that I just can’t seem to stay in one place for longer than a year or two.
