    Your grandfather was inspired by someone helping him. You have inspired that in others. Although you feel embarrassed by people reaching out and helping you, allow them to do so, it’s their equivalent of working in a soup kitchen. It is always easier to give, than to receive. 😉😊🙏

    Steve, I totally understand what your saying, your surprise and response. You told a story and perhaps you inadvertently missed one of the morals of it. Your grandfather did not beg for food, but someone gave him some. I was raised in a similar soup kitchen style. "Help those you can - if you can" And it's often difficult to receive than to give. And you know very well that the universe is under no obligation to explain itself🌌.

    Hmmm. Like monks do not beg for food, they provide an opportunity for laymen to make merit. Listen, I think that if I was in real dire straits, I'd be happy to accept all the donations in the world. Right now it just seems a little dishonest. But I my need to come sleep on your sofa for a few months.

    Good to see you, Steve. Congrats on the 100! Wishing all goes well with your upcoming surgery, and the following recovery. The first week of my freshmen year at Florida State, two guys both brought a beta fish with them from home. They are beautiful looking fish. They educated myself and others about how two males will fight to the death when put together. This seemed to cause much interest among our small group of newly found friends. After about a week the 2 beta owners decided to risk fate and let the battle take place (reminding me a bit about your video that included cockfighting). After much excitement, and a small amount of wagering, the two combatants squared off. Was a bit disappointing for me, as I had never witnessed something like this. I had a lot of exposure to aquariums and tropical fish, but beta fish were new to me. Anyway, when the 2 fish entered the squared circle a small amount of bobbing and weaving took place, then they locked on to each other by the mouth. A type of kiss of death, if you will. Once that happened the match was over. Whomever had the advantage could suck the breath and life out of the other. Sorry about any and all punctuation mistakes that I've made in this comment, as I don't want to piss you off. Am seriously thinking about retiring in Thailand next Spring. If I do I would love to take a trip down to your neck of the woods and have some broccoli while enjoying the sunset. Would like to see the sea turtle sanctuary, also. They are beautiful animals. Will also grab up a Boontong Bar souvenir if you have any in stock. Planning on giving Friday a generous tip.

The library exhibit was roughly the same scale as what you showed. They had stacks of miniature books on tables and shelves, all with readable titles. Your set is this detailed. Don’t know how you find the time! This sets you apart from anything I’ve seen on YT.

    Steve, when I suggested a gofundme, it wasn’t for charity. It was a way to pay it back. (For clarity, I wasn’t the dude who set one up). I frankly don’t know how far your voice can ripple in the KZread algorithm. I know horrible people make millions unimaginatively repackaging others’ fears. You are a singular voice who, through you own alchemy, melded my past, present, and future into a monologue I anchor my week around. Over the past three years, I’ve bought a couple dozen, often second-hand books, off of your recommendation. The first time I ate at a restaurant upon returning to America - Mexican, margaritas, pandemic plexiglass - I had Waylaid by the Bimbos in my hands. It was your first of many gifts to me. It goes back to my last comment about Trink. I’ve got a tea-kettle-set-to-boil heart dreaming of a hardboiled, yet whimsical world. The old radio cuts you sent me, the letter from the footloose newspaper spook who built the house I worked a few years in; shit, on the side of this Tennessee road, superimposed over a man smoking his last cigarette on an Iowan porch, you’ve allowed me to find a voice in the beigist blight of rural American life. This is my meandering way of saying I’ll buy one of your cuttlefish klaxons. Blinking neon lights calling out to those waylaid by, what was it Sinclair, time and time? A weary traveler thinking it’s over, and then sees Boontong’s blinking in the night. And then he knows he’s only reached the beginning, not the end, of the night.

    Love this series - it is something very creative and very different. The story about fish video and the views it amassed compared with other videos of yours is very telling. Majority of people listen to crap music, watch crap movies, and consume crap in general. There is a substantial number of silly Thailand videos, where numerous people go to same places, show same tourity things and public for some reason tends to love it. You should be proud you do not belong there, but most likely your channel will remain somewhat fringe, but with devoted group of viewers. Keep doing great job - we need you! Thanks for everything...

They were giving it away when this whole thing started, so I got a bunch and made jars of oil. Now they're calling it "Thai stick" and charging like 100/g for it. But I still have a jar of oil left. Other than that, the dispensaries on Phuket are offering all kinds of cookies, brownies, gummies... but since I've been making my own I've never tried theirs.

    Well, I never "Met-A-Phor" I didn't like. Yes, as long as the hernia is reducible - and NOT strangulated - then you are okay (at least for a while). You need an abdominal ultrasound. Get that done first... (Ultrasounds are typically not very expensive.) Would have liked to have seen MORE of the theatre - perhaps you could get a tour inside and see what is left. Cold be a treasure trove of wonderful memorabilia!! (Love the moon shot. I suppose you are 'mooning' your viewers - but it was enjoyable!)

    I think often that this beach has been here waiting for me for millions of years. Every minute I spent in my crappy cubicle plastic spoons were washing up on this beach. Every time I ate breakfast and lunch over my keyboard they were selling khao mahn gai and gwayteo on this beach. And a million years after I'm dead, the tide will still be coming in and out, in and out, in and out... I find comfort in those thoughts.

Providing Turtle Beach tat, "pet rocks", or other trinkets might be a more meaningful exchange to some, but not having to increase your carbon footprint in the posting and delivery of trash/treasure could be worth consideration, perhaps.

    Well, those checked shirts are all they sell in my size in Turtle Beach. But wearing checks and plaids also does two important things: it reminds me that I live in a place where Western ideas of suitable dress don't apply, where men wear pink and carry purses will wear sandals to the most formal occasions. And it makes me memorable. I want everybody who sees me here to know who I am. Checks and plaids is my brand, so to speak.
