If you are talking about nasal Polyps causing sinus, don't mess with these as they can turn cancerous as they did with me.

carlyai replied to warfie's topic in Jokes - Puzzles and Riddles - Make My Day!
A good plasterer (Thai farmer) will fix that...for a while. -

Thai Workers Are A Joke
carlyai replied to Brewster67's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
'Here in Thailand I don't think any such thing exists, I don't think there is any certification or regulation covering trades skills. Colleges and universities are everywhere here, but none for trades it seems.' There are training phacilities. In a previous life I was the Engineering Manager at a school of engineering. The courses were the Australian diplomas in electronics and computers. Lots of hands on practice. Also German Institute ran tradespeople like courses. -

UK IT firms back nationwide tablet initiative for equal education
carlyai replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
In an Aus disadvantaged school we purchased Apple Ipads for the school. I also purchased mobile charge racks, so that the I pads were always charged and updated. Also had each teacher give me a list of apps they wanted installed on the Ipads. Worked really well. The purchase of Ipads without the other hardware and software will last for a few weeks. -

I'd say Traffic Police at the moment. -
Ladyboys will now have to wear dark glasses, but it should show up their pox marked faces better.

monitoring solar production/potential
carlyai replied to gamb00ler's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Another factor that may/may not cause a problem is atmosphere temperature inversions. In my case, in a previous life, I worked for the PMG in Radio Systems Design. So before we installed telephone/television microwave systems we analysed the radio path. We could see what happened to the microwave signal over different weather and seasons. Different microwave frequencies fade at different rates. Sometimes we could see that the atmospheric propergation cause the signal to 'bend' and completely miss the parabolic dish. As microwave signals fade at different rates we would either change the path or install space or frequency diversion to 'catch' the signal. Maybe the sun's rays hitting the panels vary slightly due to atmospheric propergation conditions? -
Trouble is that if it is the main house breaker it could trip on a close lightning strike or an incoming power flick (on, then a short duration off, then on again), or genset start up. Mine sometimes trips on any of these. And the chances are that it will trip just as you go out the gate for a couple of days holiday and you come back to a defrosted fridge.

Yes, very frustrating.

Why is walking so good for you? Here's what studies show.
carlyai replied to Social Media's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
If you buy some 'one way' walking sticks, you can walk a lot further distance. Carbon fibre, adjustable with wrist straps to take some of the strain. Called Nordic walking poles and they have a Web site and, if you are interested you can join Nordic walking groups all round the world. Reported that you burn 2x Calories using walking poles. Gives you a whole body work out as arms as well as legs used. Nordic have developed a special walking style. Takes a bit to master. I'm 78 and been using them for years as have lumbar nerve damage and knee replacements. Have a go.:) Buy me a beer when you see me. -
How to teach a Thai to pronounce /s/ and not /th/?
carlyai replied to Lorry's topic in Thai Language
This may help. There are a couple of old pronunciation books names 'ship or sheep'. They have written text and accompanying CD's. They also have diagrams that show the face or mouth and how the sounds are produced. :)- 1 reply
