He is definitely trying some new ideas and new ways of doing things. Not the same old ways of every other president. On the tariffs and other economic things he has done I suggest giving him 6-12 months to see if they are working. Factories and new jobs can't be made in a few months. Elon Musk has opened the world's eyes showing how much corruption, theft, stupidity, and laziness can be easily found in most all branches of the US govt. Sure, the media and people that were profiting from this are doing everything they can to make him look bad. If half or more of his ideas work he will go down and one of the greatest recent presidents. Give him time. IMHO

In Thailand, Krungsri has some fixed-locked accounts in the 2-2.6% range. I know that's not very good but I don't think you will get better in Thailand. Some crypto sites have much better rates but that's another story and carries much higher risks than a bank. -
Is it worth it at 78 ? - Implant replacement teeth
how241 replied to still kicking's topic in Health and Medicine
India 'might' be cheaper But you need to factor in the cost of airfare, hotels, visas and the general inconvenience of traveling these days. Also implants are not like repairing a tooth, in that the entire process can take many months, up to 1 year if you need bone grafts and you heal up slowly. Are you going to remain in India all that time of fly up and back several times ??? -

I recently got 2 Straumann implants as I wanted a top brand. At his age he probably would be OK with a cheaper brand. I would definitely recommend the Straumann brand if money is not an issue. The price included the crown. I think some implant brands will make you pay extra for the crown. -

I would recommend PBH, dental/implant clinic on the 5th floor. I recently had 2 lower rear implants done there and it came out great. Not the cheapest option But I would see what they recommend. You never know how long you will live and 'if' you have the money then who better to spend it on. -
Not to be a wise guy, but isn't memory loss associated with older people over time anyway ? lol I have also read some info like what you are referring to.

Is this drug available in Thailand ??

You can buy it here at many pharmacys. You don't need a doctors' Rx. Most antihistamines will work for itching.

This bring to mind a quote from an old Rodney Dangerfield movie, "I don't know how to go to sleep. I only know how to pass out"...Maybe some truth in that.

In Thailand, they sell the benadryl as a 50 mg pill. That's Very strong. They usually recommend 25-50 mg for sleeping But I would recommend that you first try a lower dosage of 10-15 mg. You can easily break the 50 mg tablets in half giving you 25 mg and then take a knife or scissors and cut off a piece to get a lower dosage. Less is better especially if you want to avoid the next morning hangover effects.

Hydroxyzine has a longer half life, about 20 hours so it's more likely to give you a hangover effect the next day. Benadryl (diphenhydramine--has a shorter half life , about 7-10 hours, so does Sominar. Shorter half lifes will give you less next day effects.

My friend uses this for sleeping quickly. He says it puts him to sleep very quickly. He uses Benadryl (diphenhydramine--15mg) ...2 times a week.... he alternately takes doxylamine(sominar-10 mg ) a few times a week...He alternates them to try and avoid building up a tolerance But they are Both second generation antihistamines so I don't know if his plan is working. These seem to be lower dosages than recommended BUT he also takes 1-2 beers with them to add to the knock out effect. He claims that by taking the lower amount of pills he gets very little next day grogginess and the alcohol clears his body quickly. Is something that would be reasonable safe to do 3-4 times a week ??? He has been doing this for several months and doesn't seem to be showing any side effects. He does complain of getting a very dry mouth which is a common side effect of antihistamines and alcohol ... I was considering trying this but I thought I might get your feedback...Thanks for any opinions.

In Pattaya, they will keep throwing water even past 8pm. Some places keep it up until 10 pm. Rather annoying to get wet when your heading to an air cond. store.

Many years ago, I have painful gout in my big toe. I was given " indomethacin " and it went away very quickly and never returned.

Interesting piece. Thanks for sharing. -
I think that is a fair price considering he had 5 polyps and biopsies at a private hospital. Prices are rising everywhere on everything. IMHO

You should only count the correct answers that you actually know...You should get 2 out of 10 correct without even reading the question, based on the odds.

$5K USD is not that bad. It's about 175K THB....Way less than you might pay for one episode at a private hospital.
