  1. Anjelika, I tried to send you an email but received an error message, so I will have to use the public forum. In whatever country you are presently in, please go see a doctor. As someone who has experienced the death of his young child, and who has had some professional training in suicide intervention and bereavement counseling, I do not think you are a "madwoman". It is more likely that you are experiencing normal reactions to the death of your aunt, which happened so very recently. Perhaps you could ask a doctor if anti-anxiety medication would help for the short term. One doctor I know said that there is a distinct difference between grief and depression. Grief caused by bereavement is your body and mind's natural reaction to life's most stressful situation ( death of a loved one), while true emotional depression usually occurs without any known reason. Do yo have a support system of family or friends who could help you with this? Please take care of yourself.
  2. I remember that the first poster that said Mr. Tom stood him up took many hits from forum members. Even now that are insinuations that anyone who complains may be working for a competing service. (Are these people on someone's payroll, or just overzealous?) My experience was that I emailed Mr. Toom our flight numbers and asked him to pick us up at at our Bangkok hotel the following day. I supplied him with complete names, addresses and hotel phone number. He promptly confirmed. The next day, he emailed me asking for another confirmation and a personal Thai telephone number. I again gave him my hotel phone and reiterated our exact schedules and location. When I asked him if there was a problem, he said he would take care of it. At the appointed time, he was a no-show. I then had a Thai friend call on her mobile. Mr. Toom gave her a vague explanation that he was trying to work it out. My friend then arranged excellent transportation when he continued to be a no-show. All you Mr. Toom loyalists can choose to believe it or not, but that is just the way it happened. Period! When somebody get so big that they have to sub-contract, I expect that mistakes will happen, but what I object to is not being told there is a problem and having to make other plans immediately. I was lucky because we did not get stranded.
