    Will they truly require a negative Covid-19 test result of all foreign teachers in the future? I've seen some people talking about it recently.
    I haven't left the country for a whole year, as have many other foreigners. To require us to shell out money for a test, or even a free test, would be pretty ridiculous. I'm not sure if I'm gonna be okay with it myself and will try to talk them out of it.  

    Think about it. They want you to get a Covid test and let's say that you are clear. You then get your new work permit and 7 days later, you do catch Covid but show no symtoms.

    You continue on with your job.

     

    It is a pointless exercise for those of us that have never left Thailand from the beginning of the pandemic. If you are new and coming in to the country for a job, then sure, a test b4 you come makes sense.

     

    Other than that, it is another barrier put in front of teachers to prevent them from doing their jobs. I will continue to wear a mask in class even when this is all over. For rural areas, where do we go to get this test? How much will it cost? Will they even let me test if I show absolutely no symptoms at all?  Probably not and so it goes around & around. ????

    Good day!

    I need to sell the grill I bought for foodstand, but have no idea where to. Can anyone share some fb groups or websites where I can do it?

     

    Thank you in advance.

    OP, you have commented on the one thing that worries me quite a bit.  If Mrs P is away with her Mum in the  north, I am left here with my two dogs.  No doubt if I didn't pitch up at the gym, or the coffee shop (where my friends and I  tend to meet up) they would eventually come around to check on me, but that would be way too late in the case of a stroke or heart attack. I keep my phones close, but that may not help if I am incapacitated. My neighbours keep to themselves, as do I, so they would be no help.  I too don't know what the answer is, maybe there isn't one.  Just keep my fingers crossed I guess. 

    One of these babies would help. ????   https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SureSafe-Personal-Alarm-Elderly-Pendant-Medical-Alarm-System/272358835647?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131231084308%26meid%3Da12b672289c744f39d7bfd58a211d1ae%26pid%3D100010%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D232144395958%26itm%3D272358835647%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DDefaultOrganic&_trksid=p2047675.c100010.m2109

     

    It calls 3 members of your family, once you press the alarm pendant button. ????

  4. I am not sure if I regard myself as lucky, but a recent MRI told my doctor that I have a rare difference with regards to my brain. In the womb, there is one, shall we call it 'vein' bringing blood to the brain. As we grow in mummy's tummy, this splits into 2 and one side provides the left side with blood, and the other the opposite side.

     

    Mine didn't split, and so now, if I have a stroke, it is bye-bye for me. (15% of the world population have this, I am told) This has given me a kick in the <deleted> regarding exercise, to try to avoid a blot clot that normally causes a stroke. I exercise 6 days a week, and although I am not losing a great deal of weight now ( i did lose about 14-15 kg's initially. my fitness levels have grown. I have a resting heart rate of about 56, and hopefully my fitness can help me to avoid a stroke.

     

    Blood pressure is good, and I try to eat the right food, although the evenings get me, as I get bored and so go to the fridge. ???? Count yourself lucky that you at least got a warning sign - for me, I don't get one - just sleepy bye-bye. ????
