HEGSETH: Would you say he is a “dandy” ?
HEGSETH: Would you say he is a “dandy” ?

GammaGlobulin · Tuesday at 02:13 PM2 days

Dear Folks, Ever since the Iran War came into full view, and since the time Hagseth, too, began flexing his muscles, in his too-tight-little suit-jackets, I have been wracking my brain trying to recall the image he most evokes, just based on my many decades of living. Then, wouldn’t you know it? Just about 5-minutes ago, it finally hit me. I know, I know, I shouted. Hagseth is the SPITTING IMAGE of the Dandy song, "Follower of Fashion", first sung by the glorious and very incisive KINKS. Thi

Kill or be killed, that is the question
Kill or be killed, that is the question

unblocktheplanet · yesterday at 06:59 AM1 day

Death is always untimely. All of us have had the experience of losing people. Family, loved ones, partners, lovers, friends, colleagues. Accidents, disease, suicide, even murder. Every single one of them leaves a hole in our personal universe. Our world will never be the same, a jigsaw puzzle with a few pieces missing. The picture will never be the same again. Think about the grief of those families whose sons were killed in wars. Sometimes those devastated families who even encouraged their s

Which country's passport is most beautiful? And, why?

GammaGlobulin · Wednesday at 02:34 AM2 days

Dear Folks, I have, for many years, been so envious of the beauty of the British Passport. It is far more lovely than my own. For example: If you could buy one, which one would you buy? Alternatively, out of all countries on Planet Earth, which country has... \The most beautiful passport.... Aesthetically speaking, of course. How much would you pay for one of these, by the way? Best regards, Gamma

Price of sleeping tablets
Price of sleeping tablets

CallumWK · Tuesday at 06:03 AM3 days

For a long time already I suffer from sleeping disorders, as in I wake up many times a night, and actually never have a solid sleep. I have tried natural sleeping aids like 12mg Melatonin, but they don't have any effect. Sleeping tablets like Diazepam work perfect, and I sleep until the alarm goes off, as intended. I have no side effects from them. I had 8 tablets of them left, which actually were expired for 15 YEARS already, and I have taken them with good results in the last 6 months. So now

Did you know - How your walk can signal your mood

CharlieH · Wednesday at 12:47 AM2 days

The way people walk may reveal more about their emotions than previously understood, according to new research that highlights how subtle changes in movement can signal how someone is feeling. Scientists found that the swing of a person’s arms and legs plays a key role in how others interpret their emotional state, with observers able to detect feelings such as anger, sadness and fear from walking patterns alone. Movement as emotional expression The study suggests that walking — a routine and la

Doctors in Thailand - Approach with some caution
Doctors in Thailand - Approach with some caution

ronnie50 · Monday at 03:42 AM4 days

By and large medical care at Thailand's private hospitals is pretty good. But one thing I've observed through the years of visiting doctors in big private hospitals here is that many/most are not very thorough in asking questions about the patient's medical history. They are often quick to arrive at a current diagnosis, write a prescription, and a return appointment again in 2 weeks. When I say 'not very thorough' - I mean they don't ask you (enough) about your medical past or any other medica
