Had the same thing happen on just about all of my posts @KannikaP and still do, and don't know why, but I don't let it bother me know, as I just rest easy knowing that there is a f....wit taking the trouble to follow my posts!!

Thanks for the info Bendejo, but cannot find the doco, "The day after Trinity" anywhere..........anyone got any clues/info??

Totally agree.

And therein lies an issue, because there are STI's which don't present with symptoms early on in the piece, so a particular poster could be passing an STI onto many others, thereby infecting them and possibly having long-term effects on them. IMO it is irresponsible.

Because stopping the spread of STI/STDs is something that we should all try to contribute to, and as I said earlier, passing a disease onto another could well ruin their lives. And if a male is unlucky he could well get bacteria/organisms which lodge in the prostate and which become almost incurable, so he is destined to have a life of pain from prostatitis – – just trying to be a responsible citizen, but like another has said, not a lot of traction with common sense on this thread. Taking a lead from your post, "each to their own", one could well argue the same case with an infectious disease which someone doesn't get treated and passes it on to someone else – – does that become, "that person's business?".

You seem to have missed my point, which was that surely we are all obligated to practice safe sex, not that one has to get tested for something which one doesn't have. Having said that there are several organisms which can be picked up through unsafe sex and not just syphilis, which was mentioned, although in its later stages, the damage which it has done to the body is irreparable. As for the "incurable" gonorrhoea, which can remain dormant for a long time, so far, many months of very powerful antibiotics don't seem to have worked and the long-term effects can include damage to the joints and pain therein. On that note, some of these organisms are extremely difficult to cure, not that we don't have enough antibiotics around the place, but simply they cannot reach their target (bacteria) due to biofilms which protect them. Many of these organisms have been found when researchers have been looking into the causes of prostatitis, which is why it is extremely difficult to cure in many cases. So bacteria and other organisms which can be passed on through sexual activity are not always easily that curable. My main point was that the post displayed a "laissez-faire" attitude towards safe sex and as someone else has pointed out, there are many girls/young women starting in this "industry" hoping to be able to support their family this way, and the long-term effects of some STI's could well ruin their lives.

I'm halfway through the series, "An Undeclared War" and so far I have found it very good, and I'm hoping that the second three episodes carry on in the same vein. Fingers crossed.

Absolutely unbelievable.........spreading an STI/STD around is ok with you?? You don't care about giving it to others?? Despicable.

Quite right Will, I did mean The Staircase!!!

Tried to watch, " Staircase Murder" last night (starring Colin Firth and Toni Collette) and got to the end of the second episode and turned it off, because I didn't want to sit through seven episodes of this particular series, when it could have easily been wound up in two, perhaps three series. Furthermore the jumping around of timeframes/scales was a little confusing at times and didn't make for easy viewing. In addition I concluded that Michael Peterson was guilty and didn't need to see any more!!!!!! I did look it up online and it would appear there is/was some suspicion that the guy may have been involved in a previous staircase murder................

Banks refusing to witness Life Certificates for UK Pension Service now? Bkk Bank has been doing that for a while now, so went to the local medical clinic where I had a wound dressed and got the receptionist to sign the form and stamp it with the clinic stamp........no problems and it was accepted by the pension people.

No but I could wallow in amongst them!!

Yes but we try our best with these trumpies anyway as we know they are not that smart!!

Sorry but I couldnt get the sound to this downloaded........but you didn't miss much as it is gibberish!

You just can't help yourself can you, so I think some words from a song by the Doobie Bros might apply to your particular post, perhaps slightly rearranged, however here goes........ "No wise man has the power to reason away what a fool believes". So many of us sane and rational folk posting on here really don't stand much of a chance using truth against the MAGA/trump believers!!

A trump supporter gives his reasons..............

I have had an all plastic electric kettle (sits on a base) for over 4 years here and is made by Sharp. Used many times daily and never had a problem with it. I have always been wary of the metal cased ones as although they are supposedly "double-insulated", so was the Fridge a friend kept getting shocks off!!!! Go figure.

I have just downloaded 17 episodes of "The Prisoner", starring Patrick McGoohan (it was from the mid/late 60s) and am looking forward to watching it/them after all these years. I always thought it was a classic series.

Back onto the issue of the prostate, I read this article, which seems to offer some hope for sufferers of prostate cancer:... Prostate cancer: An emerging surgical alternative shows promise in older men Like a lumpectomy for breast cancer, this treatment, which is called focal therapy, spares healthy tissues. https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/prostate-cancer-an-emerging-surgical-alternative-shows-promise-in-older-men-202308092963

A couple of my favourite westerns are: Pat Garret & Billy the Kid, Jeremiah Johnson and of course Tombstone!

Utter nonsense and you know it....get a life.

BPH has been mentioned many times on this thread, and although this post is not actually about Rezum, it is about BPH, which is probably why many people are seeking treatments like Rezum. You see, I came across a pop-up advertisement on a website I was perusing and it was for "men who were suffering from BPH" so I clicked on it and decided to read what it was all about, even though there is a video clip, and what I heard (and read to a certain extent) was a complete and utter load of nonsense, which would appeal only to those who knew nothing about BPH or the very gullible. This is supposedly by someone who has been "cured" of BPH with the help of a "Dr Wesley" and in the nonsense this guy spouts he uses terms about "fear of losing my manhood" and other terms which really had nothing to do with BPH. Now here's the rub – – he is spruiking some capsules called "Urinoct", which are expensive (in US dollars) and what they actually contain is: – fish oil, vitamin A and vitamin C!!!! Combinations which no doubt many of us have taken in one way or another over the years for various reasons or another, but certainly not for BPH. Please don't get taken in by this load of nonsense, because it's a scam.
