  1. I'm 194 cm/90k - which I brought down from 117k with intermittent fasting....I played my last organized sport at 70....I brought the weight down in an effort to keep my knees & non titanium hip from any additional wear & tear.... I walk the dog about 4 miles a day + ride a bicycle approximately the same distance.....I bought a cable/pulley home gym and use it 6 days a week.....I can still bend putting my palms flat on the floor, which is good because my knees are shot.... Stretching = not much....Balance is ok, but not what once was - no off balance episodes....The wrinkling is a bummer & starting to show on my thighs.... Muscle mass just doesn't seem to flourish.... At almost every meal my wife makes a point of telling me about the good nutritional stuff she's included & what it helps body wise..... All in all feeling good approaching 76....
  2. My bank wants a secure-a-key or a US phone number as a final check before sending.....By amount It also would take 2 transactions at $45 per.... I bought a secure-a-key but none of our phones or laptop could get it to sync with the bank app....
  3. UPDATE = SUCCESS !!! If you follow through the possible options or ways to connect there are a few choices.... Some were involving Wise outsourced (linked) companies to overcome the roadblock of my bank not accepting a log in with a 3rd party tagging along..... I was not comfortable supplying what I considered private financial information to completely unknown entities.... At the very end of the options there was an choice to manually input my bank routing & my account numbers directly to Wise.....This I did.... Wise then deposited 2 small amounts of under a dollar into my US bank account.....It took until the next business day.... With the two small deposit amounts I logged on to Wise supplying the amounts when prompted to continue my paused transfer from yesterday..... Within one minute of verification my transfer was completed and deposited into my Bangkok bank account... Hope this helps anybody else that has, or, will run into this roadblock.... It's at the very end of the choice option list & worked like a charm.... Cheers & wishing you well....
  4. I'm working on that now....My bank won't open up it's app if a third party is detected, (Wise's shortcut method)..... I'll update on how it's progressing....
  5. Was ok for years.....Now this.....
  6. I'm pursuing that, however when I get to my US bank app sign in the sign in is rejected due to the Wise app being detected along side of my log on - third party detected & not opening for security purposes.....
  7. Yes, I have a Thai address with Wise .... I went into my profile & the address is locked in = cannot be changed..... It's the same address as on my US bank account as I don't want to risk conflicting zips or any other cross check that might be in play.....
  8. As I have for years, I went to move money today via debit card through Wise....Which I do on a monthly basis.... As I went through the process my card transaction wouldn't go through - followed with this message..... Am I at the tip of an iceberg or spear here? Up until last month everything sailed through - until now.... Am I the first or is there guidance or information or another topic/thread to overcome an obviously huge problem.... This is going to cause big problems for many, many expats.... Is there any feedback or advice out there.....
  9. Nothing new, I've played baseball many times over the years in 115-118f..... I learned VERY quickly not to use the stadium handrails
  10. My wife is the 1st university graduate from her family.... She worked 17 years for a Nissan manufacturing subsidiary in a management position.... She's a full time housewife & our oldest daughter just became the 2nd uni grad in the family.... My wife is quite content with her gardening & caring for the rest of us + pets.....Which she does splendidly.....
  11. Check Chiang Mai removals....They store - including vehicles....
  12. Anyplace strewn with unrecoverable bodies of conditioned, able climbers that failed, littering the trail gets an easy pass (no) from me....
  13. Ergo his 14 y/o daughter....
  14. Really? It's been about 3 years since our last visit.....We camped out & enjoyed the in park sights, services, and meals.... 6 people, 3 tents and not a bad moment among us.... It's disconcerting to hear otherwise....
  15. Fang Hot Springs & star gazing....
  16. Dire Straits - Bob Seger & some good Elvis tunes 60's edition, when his voice was clear as a bell.....
  17. I'm a rum & coke guy....In Big C & Lotus there's a white rum marketed as Uncle Tom.... It's in a square shaped bottle.... I find it smooth, with a good taste.... They market 3 products, I just look for the square bottle with a red R label....It's 279B, so an easy taste test to see if it agrees with you.....
  18. Yeah, I've seen that too in some of the beach cities.... Reminded me of Easter Island.... Poor guys, seem lost and disconnected....
  19. It was a simpler town when I moved to Hang Dong....You could drive in, park easily, and explore, shop, dine and enjoy the city....For a fairly large city it still had an intimate feel to it....I got by speaking English - which was part of the appeal....Just about anything needed or necessary was basically on tap..... Now, years later we live in San PaTong & go to the city as needed for errands or take visitors around .... The intimate vibe has changed....But, upon seeing some of the other parts of TH - I find that I still prefer it here....
  20. Somewhere between 2/3 to 1/2 a bottle left.... Nothing crazy.....
  21. I usually unwind at home on Saturday nights with some rum & cokes - we usually karaoke for couple of hours.... Once finished the bottle goes away until the next Saturday.... HOWEVER - today was a <deleted> day that really shouldn't have been & I'd probably welcome one, but won't..... There wasn't a poll choice that fit me.....
  22. That's only 6.7" ???
  23. Just what the world needs....????
  24. There's a pharmacy in the Hang Dong Lotus that I believe had them.... Also, check the Fascino pharmacy in your area....They display many large aids for the infirmed & surely can have/order/get a bed..... Sign up for their discount card....
