  1. What we were spreading was indeed dangerous ......... ignore at one's own peril dangerous .
  2. What shocked me the most was that he got a bigger ovation than the one I got ............. when a few years ago i was given a one week "vacation" from thaivisa.
  3. I have often repeated that phrase to many confused people who get entangled in the maze of do's and don't and can nots that they bump into at the friendly immigration offices. "What can i do !!! " They ask me . At this point i just shake my head and say , "sorry mate..... use a fuct ! "
  4. Possible responses to this topic : "well, i heard her Thai bf was not too happy about being pushed down in the line" "nah, you go first mate . I wanna finish watching the rugby match" "damn, can't remember..... whose turn is it today? " "wait a second boys..... one at a time ! "
  5. everything i post regarding "health practices" comes from a very reliable "study group" . Me ! over the last 3 years i have turned a very difficult prostate situation ( bph) where i had urgency symptoms and lack of sleep..... into now an almost normal situation. Protocol : slight changed of diet and going 2 meals a day , plus some supplements, plus some Chinese herbs (3) that i researched myself and go to local shop to buy, and make tea a few times a week. Muscle weakness : more protein, less carbs, no sugar (but a little honey) , and : magnesium (2 types), boron, vit d and k2, vit c , selenium ..and sometimes others , Also bovine collagen .... Constipation : magnesium first thing, then blackstrap molasses tea with breakfast along with the vitamins. Finally some prunes . VOILA ! . All these years without real eliminating the poisons daily. I also take iodine (helps detox) and use dmso .... and something as simple as taking a little pink sea salt with water almost instantly stops the soreness and tightness when fatigued from exercise . Many more personal anecdotes i have.... but i probably should stop for now ,,,,,, lol https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/004012.htm#:~:text=Some%20changes%20that%20occur%20with%20aging%20include:,Changes%20in%20breasts%20*%20Changes "Nature gave us a brain..... using it to figure things out is often what is lacking"
  6. obviously, my kneejerk response of getting disgusted and deeply saddened .... when thinking of the world as it is ....... is simply my body and mind performing intelligent management of its terrain . Otherwise i would probably be front page news in the seriel killer column .
  7. She kept doing this head wobble thing..... and i couldn't figure out if she wanted me to stop, or go faster !
  8. I know that you are a speed reader .......... so this lengthy explanation of magnesium should take but a minute . 55 magnesium chloride .... is my daily, along with boron , which i take as a capsule . (Don't trust online Borax ) https://www.liferesearchuniversal.com/magnesiumchloride.html as for boron: "A limited amount of boron is absolutely essential for good health. Here are some of its properties (at different concentrations): Stabiliser of calcium, silicon, copper and magnesium levels, inhibits calcification. (12) Boron sufficiency normalises calcium levels, assisting with the building and repair of bones and joint cartilage. It helps to use calcium in bones and joints, and prevents the inappropriate and harmful accumulation of calcium in other tissues and organs. (12, 13, 14) Boron sufficiency inhibits the accumulation of inorganic copper in the bones (12) and prevents loss of bone. (13) Boron assists with the assimilation of various minerals, particularly calcium and silicon. for longer reading : https://growyouthful.com/remedy/borax.php#properites-uses-of-borax most sources say boron essential along with magnesium . you're still young 555, but older bodies always are found to be lacking magnesium note: i use ALTA brand magnesium chloride tablets , ordered from iHerb
  9. Stomach Acid Is Vital For HealthUnpacking the Great Acid Reflux Scam try to find this substack from midwestern doctor .. a VERY good source imo found it for you ! https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-great-acid-reflux-scam A Midwestern Doctor Nov 8 ∙ Preview
  10. for those of you who read these types of threads..... rumak's belief , from his research, is that omeprazole is about the worst thing one can take for stomach issues . "reducing acid " is the complete opposite of what is usually needed to get the body back into synch, with older people often using digestive enzymes and also betaine hcl which is used to support digestion in individuals with low stomach acid, allowing for better breakdown of food. yes, fred..... i am aware that your sources do NOT agree with my posting. As they say... up to you.
  11. i take K2 along with the D ....... and boron along with the magnesium
  12. makes sense to me ..........
  13. i never thought i'd run into you .......... but just might see you at the clinic one day .🫠 these posts on this thread listing the attributes of old age waiting rooms here in Thailand almost sent me over the edge. but, i'm hangin' on for now .
  14. It was around 15 years before i joined this motley crew of lonely hearts club expats . welcome to the club . you will definitely regret it ! 🙈😈🥳 LOL
  15. it used to be easy to avoid them here in thailand. but lots of those miserable refugees from the west are invading our shores. got a whole street of them just moved in to their new 100 DW (dalangwa) "pool" villas . and walking around doing videos. sure glad i got in many years of the thai experience before this invasion. next stop : the twilight zone ..................
  16. yeah..... i can relate to that . hmmm. well, i don't subscribe to following any one person or "doctrine" . life is fluid ( that thought just emerged from my own rumak brain ,) before i wandered over to AI who gave a surprisingly worthy response : " A fluid life embraces constant change, adaptation, and growth, allowing for the natural evolution of circumstances rather than forcing a rigid, predetermined path. This mindset encourages letting go of fixed expectations, finding lessons in challenges, and balancing future goals with present-moment awareness." so....... i appreciate hearing other people's methods of transversing this journey . personally i am not into giving credit or worship to any "god" ...... but do have my unique method of madness , somehow mixing humor, humility, and honesty into some kind of spiritual search . sometimes a nice homecooked meal and a good nights sleep helps a lot . I do, btw...... start the morning off with a glass of water . note: i will check out this fellow Bechamp . aha : the terrain theory .
  17. They're all just parroting everything they are fed by the trusted narrators . youhoo . polly wanna jab ?
  18. Actually , proportionately those rates have remained the same over the last 20 years . the young ladies charge by the kilo !
  19. I practice that line daily..... looking in the mirror with my best De Niro accent (taxi driver ) "You talking to me ? " de niro "watch your step !" .... added dialogue by rumak those robots are coming, boys. and i seriously doubt that appreciation of humor has been programmed into their armor .
  20. yes, they did . robots are just around the corner
  21. I would definitely COMPLAIN ..... and ask why the water bill was always so high before !!
  22. SM.....you got this one right ! I have been harping on possibly the greatest "fear" of all that my sixth sense tells me ," it's coming ...coming... and just getting bigger and more inescapable by the moment " . technology ! Surely the biggest, baddest weapon ever to emerge from mankinds effort to control others . To quote TriTorch (substack) : The billionaire class is investing hundreds of billions of dollars into humanoid robots. Not wheeled robots. Not industrial arms on factory floors. Humanoid robots with legs that walk and run and climb stairs and navigate rough terrain exactly the way a human soldier does. So.....while Health officials stress preventive measures and seek heightened awareness with regards to ONE case of Parrot Fever ....... I do think y'all will one day be in for a big shock when a knock on your door finds you face to robot face with Hercules the Humanoid . Preventative measures ?? hahahahahahaha nada chance
  23. i don't know about you...... but i got my mask on already ! Ya never know when you're gonna look up at the beautiful sky, smile.... and SPLAT ! That bird flying above just let go a big one right into your open mouth .
  24. Well ! I've been saying the same thing for quite a while . Happy to see that Dr. Malhotra agrees 😀
  25. And, i'm in the mood for some more hateful thumbs down from the usual suspects ...... so, i'll just add this little tidbit to the mix :
