What's One Thing You Wish You Knew Before Moving to Thailand?
rumak replied to Conan The Barbarian's topic in General Topics
you left out "stubborn" and "entitled" . But i do blame myself for telling one or two people how nice it was here , because after that the foreigners just seemed to pour in . -
Yep, this is where the "problem" arose with Mr Documents Examiner . When someone (such as I ) has a fixed account , with the required copies of all pages, then it is obvious that there has been no activity just by looking at that ( and seeing that the same acct has Not had activity for years ) . I can see where there would be confusion if it did not cover the entire one year period that was relevant . BUT.... inside they said that form NOT NEEDED by me , with my fixed acct . AND the topper is, when i was finished i asked the person (guy) who had overseen my visit if i could have a copy of that other info/statement form to take with me in case i needed it next year. his answer " mai dtong ow . mai jampen " OMG ......... i smile and walk out , blood pressure up for sure . Cause, i know i will have to get past the D. Examiner again next time . So......... is there such a form ? Or does one just ask the bank for said documentation ? my bank is bangkok bank.... and i will talk to them when i get to the city as well . ps: i bring extra copies of everything as well ! lol

Hi Bob ........ are you still doing the retirement ( or marriage) extension by yourself ? Just curious, as i have always ( 20 years) done so . But....... getting tired of it . Big hassle last year when guy "checking my documents" tried to send me away , saying i needed more info from bank ( BESIDES my usual letter from bkk bank stating my amount on deposit in FIXED acct . that i have used FOREVER without an issue ) And.....not being able to convince him it is not required I had to go inside and get confirmation from an officer there . BUT, after getting called for my appt. still had an issue with one of the workers , until another stepped in and said i was right . never look forward to that yearly escapade !

Health Insurance Refused Because I Take Statins.
rumak replied to Jumbo1968's topic in Health and Medicine
Well, it seems like more than a few members agree with my long held assertion that paying more and more every year , with more and more exclusions, and then in many cases being denied (what chance does the policy holder have, when they already have your money.... and then put people through the ringer when time to pay out) . No matter how many times someone tries to refute my statement... it still remains true ! Even the NY Times.... a media favorite.... chimes in : https://www.nytimes.com › 2023 › 06 › 15 › health › health-insurance-medical-bills.html It's Not Just You: Many People Confront Health Insurance Obstacles on ... Jun 15, 2023Nearly 60 percent of Americans with health insurance had a problem with their coverage over the past year. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/15/health/health-insurance-medical-bills.html -
Found it at last....something that cures constipation for me!!!!!
rumak replied to xylophone's topic in Health and Medicine
yep, good to try though. ALSO, i am sincerely hoping that the success you're having does not diminish with time, as your body adapts to the "new" stimulant . Just a thought ..... ( i remember many moons ago when morning coffee was enough to get me to the bathroom) . Now, no luck with that . So..... might be a consideration to do every other day as you once mentioned . Seems like you are quite aware of such things/ changes . once again, stay loose 😅 -
I was sitting on the couch the other day , mumbling to myself . Kinda thinkin' of the good ole days . Remember saying something along the lines you just wrote . ahhh, reminiscing . Noi and Nit and Nut and Porn and Dang and............ Then i was abruptly woken up from my dream : "Grandpa, is Patpong similar to Pingpong ? " "yes, my dear . it was a long time ago "

rumak replied to xylophone's topic in Health and Medicine
Sounds interesting . You do say its a "natural" product ..... i wonder what ALL the ingredients are, but will go check it out ( if you can post a screenshot of the ingredients that would be great ) . Have you tried taking HALF a packet ? Just wondering how strong this stuff is , like do you wake up and have to run to the toilet ?? thanks for posting. should be a few 70 yr olds interested . ( i will not take any prescription stuff) also......... you take it every day ?? -
any update Pedro ? seems like this topic has been revived. i thought it was "concluded" already ...

good sense comments get lots of negative emojis . i save them for other forums. here at AN i get a little entertainment and sometimes try to hone my humor skills . Sarcasm has too much truth to it ..... so mainly banana peel type stuff . but, your points are considered by rumak 🙂

rumak replied to villageidiotY2K's topic in General Topics
for those intellectuals out there....... can always read Freud to get a psychological explanation for those who want long things that make big noises -
you sure you are watching the sea ? how about leaving the internet at home and really getting a taste of life before living on the internet. maybe you are too young to remember ? ps: us "oldies" get a little slack for wasting time on these forums . Can't be out living in the real world as often as in our youth. Even now, when i go out i see this new species of humanoids .... some weird looking screen stuck onto their faces . Small hands except for 2 big thumbs . hmmmm evolution i guess

My gut health has taken a turn for the worse.
rumak replied to advancebooking's topic in Health and Medicine
Go to youtube. Along with the 30 or so suggestions you will receive here you will find at least a few thousand more (rememder to click like) on the internet . You can go through the whole gamut of "natural" cures . SUCH AS : prebiotics, probiotics, vegetables, keto, pickled things, apple cider vinegar, baking soda, low carb, fasting, intermittent fasting, eat anything you want within a 15 minute span ( then do not eat for 3 days) , yoghurt ( remember the LIVE culture ! ), kefir , no gluten, only raw organic beets, lots of somtam ( if you are thai ) , only fatty grass fed beef ( have your credit card handy ) ................ Or , you can go to a doctor and be given ( i will bet you ! ) :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton-pump_inhibitor ( Rumak would NEVER start on that one .... and will get the usual response from someone for saying so ) As for what I have "experimented " with ; well, acv, baking soda ( very helpful when one knows how to use ) , kefir ( yes, we make our own) , and getting a diet and times to eat (and not eat) that work for me. That is the key . Gotta go slow. Change one thing at a time and give it a few days at least. Observe . We eat basic foods .... eggs, meat, some starch, some carbs ( though not much) , vegetables . Chew well. Eat slow. Relax . Fart . I have a "routine" now, but it changed as i was clearing my brain from the thousands of "the one thing you must do" videos. my one free tip : baking soda is pure... and better than the otc stuff at 7/11 or the like ( which often contain "bicarbonate of soda " yes, baking soda, along with other junk .https://www.livestrong.com/article/110287-health-benefits-bicarbonate-soda/ Even with this, there are many ways and times suggested by people on the internet. I tried a few. Now i know what helps me. ( i do not take every day ) burpingly yours, rumak
