Have you really done all you wanted to do ?

CharlieH · yesterday at 12:09 AM1 day

I saw a comment on another topic that prompted this one. Have you reached a point in life where you've done most of what you wanted to do? If you were diagnosed with something serious such as cancer, would you go through potentially difficult treatments in the hope of gaining more time, or would you choose comfort care, accept the situation, and focus on making the most of whatever time remained? Personally, I think I'd choose quality of life over quantity. I wouldn't want my remaining time do

Fake Woody Allen antisemitism rant fooled thousands? And you?

GammaGlobulin · yesterday at 06:52 AM1 day

Dear Folks, What is all this recent hand-wringing involving "antisemitism". I, for one, do NOT buy it. I think that "antisemitism" waxes and wanes but mostly wanes. What about YOU? Do you agree? Now let us take the case we find here, on this blog: https://stljewishlight.org/arts-entertainment/jewish-humor/woody-allen-antisemitism-rant/ The other question is: WHY are we reading the Saint Louis Jewish Light.....IN THE FIRST PLACE....????? At the very least, when I read about Jews in A

Can facebook get any more ridiculous?
Can facebook get any more ridiculous?

CallumWK · yesterday at 04:20 AM1 day

All those who use Facebook will be aware of the "people you may know" page, with many people you don't know at all, that get bestowed on you all the time. I got that one again the other day, and notice a friend from my days when I still lived in my home country. Last time I met him was last year. So I decide to send him a friend request. And then this happens. So FB suggests I may know him, and indeed I do, but when I want to send him a friend request they say I don't know him. 🤦‍♀️🥶

I got to get it off my chest! This is completely in the Chon Buri province my experience last 20 plus years. First, let me be cleared I do not dislike or hate any of the personnel I've been in contact throughout the years they are just doing their job but at specific hospital it seems many are disensortized realising what they are being asked to do by these corporate giants. I wanted to add my story to the thread " dual pricing " but it closed. So here it goes I won't use the name of facility b

Bilateral inguinal hernia repair at Bumrungrad.
Bilateral inguinal hernia repair at Bumrungrad.

gargamon · May 29May 29

Had a inguinal hernia repaired (open) a few years ago and it failed. Recovery from that one was a bit painful. The other side has developed one too. I would think it's better to get them both done at the same time. I do most of my medical stuff there so am not looking for “it's cheaper at...“ responses. Recommended surgeons, and the appropriate package would be appreciated. The packages range from 300k for a bilateral (both sides) open surgery to 350k for Laparoscopic bilateral to 450k for robo

CT scan prices?
CT scan prices?

visalady · Monday at 02:12 PM2 days

Had a health check up at Rajburana govt hospital, 2000 baht which I thought was a great deal for Bangkok. Found a shadow in one lung on the x-ray so have to go back to see specialist, and for some reason a surgeon then likely a CT scan for a better look. 10k baht was mentioned by the nurse as the scan price. Looking at a private hospital not far away they have an offer of just 3900 baht for a CT scan on lung. I was wondering are there add on maybe the private one is not mentioning and that this
