There are some humane admirable peaceful resolutions suggested but given the need in dire cases of a downright dangerous agressive dog that might even have rabies, a deadly solution is a crushed paracetemol in a small minced meat or tin fish serving.   But the risk of the wrong dog or cat consuming it, or being watched, could make it the mission impossible.

It's 'grammar,' not 'grammer'. Learn to spell before criticising others. 

Mmmm maybe leave them be?  "The Americans havent spoken English for years", and so much spelling they have changed, there is no spell check. Even if so, it would trend towards the bastardised versions coming out of the the U.S. Its a dead giveaway of poster's nationalities and its surprising how many are U.S. & anti Trump. Just saying, and this Aussie dislikes him intensely.

It's okay, nobody is genuinely concerned, we all just saw some blurry boobs on a woman in a sarong and.......

 

AND her face was blurred.   There's the old story about the naked airline hostess who accidentally got viewed by crew when coming out of a shower room and only had a small garment with her.  So with some quick thinking she used it to hide her.........wait for it......  her identity.  She hid her face. 😀

Mmmm this news item has attracted many posters, like the historical forbidden fruit?

Human existence, along with all other species, plants, earth, planets, solar system, universe, are all evidence of a creator. Natural occurring events by what else?  There is no evidence that this all happened by itself, so you believe what you want,

Yup Fred, by whatever means we are here, by what else?.    Mmmmn Is God a showoff? 😉

We can choose to give thanks for every breath we take, every view we see, to enjoy this beautiful planet, in gravity and fresh air; just two basics we can't see yet believe in, the miracle of life re babies and the love we can show to each other in our brief stopover here.       

Call this naive but could it auger better than some posters choose to live, love hate the thought of being God-provided? so believe what you want without irrelevant condemnations.

Call it God the creator or whatever we choose, and is described well in the video "indescribable".

Why not live and let live?

The OP isn't trying to start mass conversions to Church of England.

Yes cdemundo, agree, live and let live, and I wonder if if crossbones is just a little bit of a mischevious likeable character by asking here and not Googling where is a Bkk C of E.?  so maybe with just their few added stirry words, do they like baiting/watching the entertaining lions to come out in this forum? 😁.

"...difficult to imagine some of the yobbos on here bending down reverently before sidling into the pew...." I agree, because I am not a believer, and never will be.

 

You might like to note there's been several reports recently that there is no evidence whatever that Jesus or God ever existed.

 

My main experience with christianity was when I was conscripted for national service, about 1 month before the end of boot camp (3 months total) we were told that the next day we would going to the camp chapel to meet / listen to the camp chaplain (Church of England guy) for an hour. Up to that point nobody knew there was a chapel / chaplain in the camp, and a couple of soldiers were strongly upset because if they had known they would have tried to attend a service or gone to the chapel alone to pray.

 

We marched in and were told to stand to attention in front of one of the chairs all lined in rows.  The chaplain came in in his robes and told us to sit down. Two NCO trainers sat at the side along with our platoon officer, a young officer who had recently returned after his service in Vietnam was completed.

 

The chaplain walked back and forth repeating continuously 'I am your friend', and 'Jesus, god and myself promise you that you will not get injured when you are in Sth Vietnam'. Plus more and more 'I am your friend'.

 

Then he said I invite you to ask me any questions / any questions at all, and I will answer your questions.

 

A few guys asked questions and the chaplain answered. Then I asked 'sir I have never understood where the bible came from?'  The chaplain then 'turned' and got extremely angry and accused me of being insulting to the bible, god, jesus and to him.  He then instructed 2 soldiers to march me to the camp commanders office and to tell the camp commander that I had been insulting.

 

A few minutes later, no opportunity to confirm or deny the chaplains claim and i was ordered to do extra cleaning duties every morning from 3:00 am to until about 6. 30am for the rest of my time at the boot camp.

 

A couple of days later a few of the new conscripts and myself were talking to the platoon officer.  He mentioned 'there is severe danger in the operational areas in Sth. Vietnam, soldiers get killed, lose limbs and more and the chaplain should not have told you he can totally protect you, and he looked at me and said 'I'm sorry the chaplain got so angry with you and that you are doing kitchen duties for no valid reason'.

 

The platoon officer then said;

- Make sure you listen very carefully to your orders at all times

- Never take any action that was not instructed by your senior leader except of course to try to shoot the enemy.

 

So much for Christianity. 

Oh Scorecard thats sad to hear and is NOT what Christianity is about but was human failings and the military dictatorship.  I'ts about peace patience kindness compassion forgiveness LOVE etc etc,  so regardless wherever you are "at", and unlike the military chaplain, is mere forgiveness a starting point? Are the above principles worthy?  Would even the venemous detractors here want it any other way?  People and even religious organizations will let you down, and they did.

Banana and custard after the service a speciality. 😉

What an amazing in depth study of the brain Hummin provided, but is totally unrelated to the cessation of the ovaries at menopause as per the studies in the links I provided above and it's  mainly about hormonal unbalance.       JingJoe.

Explain blood tests for certain hormones is not accurate?

Just the start of a huge subject and dont believe any doctor that says
"Provera" is Progesterone when H.R.T. is suggested.

Obviously it's an hormone issue which should be tested by urine or blood.

Not quite.. Blood tests for certain hormones are not accurate. Saliva test is preferable but theres an entrenched business system to overcome.

stay away from HRT in LOS. Way too dangerous

Absolutely !

Of the many cysts out there, I've been describing the smaller white roundish harmless "millium cysts" near my eyes and seems like in Dr Pimple Popper's videos Dr Lee doesnt hesitate to burst the sack.     I wouldnt/didnt. OH well.     They develop just under the outer layer of skin and can be related to moisturerisers and health issues, etc.  Waiting till theyre bigger can be easier to remove.

Just clarifying.. my two cysts I removed were small and white, rather round, elevated just above the skin/flesh  surface,  and very slow growing.  No big deal at all to remove them. Very thin skin covering them and not too much effort to make that small 2 mm? max rip with the needle which healed quickly. Kept a good standard of hygene.   Others here could be referring to deeper type growths?
My wife had one similar closer to her eye, was cut out by a specialist who removed a biopsy margin and sent it away, an inconvenient and lengthy healing process, costly and more Baht in his pocket to excise it.

I have removed 2 cysts, a bit closer to my eye than yours. Followed good advice and did this way:- a magnifying makeup mirror taped to the wall mirror, plenty of light, hygenically used needle to make small sideways slit in the thin skin down nearer the bottom of the cyst towards the facial skin. Do it shallow enough to keep away from the cyst sack.   This is easier to do down there rather on the top of the cyst where its too easy to puncture it. Need to pull away and neatly break/tear the skin, not too long a slit from entry to exit of the needle. Two? mm long. Depends on its size but must accomodate the exiting cyst.

As others have said, dont burst the cyst's sack otherwise will grow again. Encourage it to pop out, maybe not with the sharp point. The sack was tougher than I first thought. If it were to burst, maybe need to give it a few weeks to re-form and try again. ? Dunno.

The small tear heals quite quickly. Near the eyes seem a common place for them.

Despite whatever other crossfire may be surfacing here, Roosters and Reindeers are not the reasons for the seasons. Live and let live.

On a more serious medical note...  itchy anal "area" irrtations and rash can develop from natural sweating, or failure to dry after using bum gums.

Didnt know about that.   Yuk. You'll really need a spew bucket if watching the youtube video about "the 50 worst preachers".

I dont go to churches any more but have never been so at peace or so close to the Holy Trinity.   "People will let you down but Jesus wont."

I wrote above:- Unfortunately, man made religions generally have caused so much division between and within:- Nations, Families and Religions.

"God's love having gone walkabout" is  man-made abominations you refer to and are sure off putting and to think the R.C. church believes their Pope is Gods representative here on earth. !

Oh well... Live and let live.

I don't dispute positive thinking can lead to positive outcomes. Negative thinking can destroy people.

I certainly have my personal routines and disciplines; however, I did not need a religion or prayer to implement them. Self-motivation.

 

Agree with you Lacessit, you put it all so well and our incredible God-given brain was meant to be used in "self motivation".          There's been so much less-than-positive  thinking in this topic, but for those who are down when times are tough, and feel there's something missing in their heart, they can choose to have the many facets of God's love there to lift them.   Someone else asked "how can you believe in something you cant see"?  Just drop your keys into your hand, and feel the air past your face. Belief in just 2 unseen God-given gifts we cant live without, could morph into a solid support they then dont really want to "live" without.  Underpinng  life's choices with part 2 of the instruction manual for life has benefitted billions of we mere humans.   So be it.    Mockers will cry out  "crutch", but dont know what they're missing out on, and its free. Their choice.

We are just a speck on this beautiful planet in this "indescribable" universe, and if it is God's? "love"?  that puts us here for just 80 odd years, so be it.      Live and let live,  without judging.     A worthy quote?  :- "behold I tell you a mystery" and the 6 pages on this topic is a speck in the looong history of the  mystery.    P.S. I've many wonderful non-believer friends.

Thoughts:- "I'd rather live my life with God and find out in the end there isnt, than live my life without God and find out in the end there is".

"It doesnt cost and arm and a leg to give your heart to God with love, and you'll never be the same again" Thats not my promise but God's.

What sort of a lfe lost in a wilderness do those  live without at least some sort of god to guide them? A very good teacher appeared about 2000 years ago, probably the best, "to show us the way",  and who would follow their own ways in preference to His? who else  sets a standard for our life? well the choice is ours to go astray by not following Him, as surely is happening at every level in society AGAIN.

Unfortunately, man made religions generally have caused so much division between and within:- Nations, Families and Religions.

We've all heard :-"If all else fails read the instruction manual". So how about the "instruction manual for life", especially part 2?

Billions have chosen it, so until something better comes along, watch that space and in the mean time live and let live.

The most basic thoughts could be:- how beautiful is this "blue marble" planet, "what a wonderful world" sang Louis Armstrong,  "they're only saying I love you",  if everything was reduced to just one word it surely would be "love", and perhaps whatever God is, is a showoff for us to love and appreciate  this one-off planet that was somehow made, we could all appreciate being here, all our needs are provided yet man has fought wars and also continued futile arguements on this forum.      A simplistic view yes, and perhaps worth thinking also about that old saying:- "I shall pass through this world but once, if there be any kindness I can show or any goodness I can do , let me not tarry, let me do it now, for I shall not pass this way again".   Coud aligning with some of the above musings  sow a seed and lift the value of some lives into living loving caring and sharing? and it it is free.
