  2. Nobody I've met in Thailand can guess my ethnicity by my appearance. And, 90% don't know what a Jew is. They know King Kong though. I have seen N*zi symbols (not Buddhist symbols) worn with ignorance. I ask if they know what it means. The answer is no. I believe them. It's close to the counter-clockwise symbols they've seen. I give them the benefit of the doubt. No, has never remotely been an issue. On the other hand, I have no hook nose, nor do I have horns, nor do I have a hunchback. Maybe that helps. Many Americans males get chopped, or they did in my era, so that also doesn't give me away. And, the massage workers really don't care. Absolutely no one guesses America when they look at me. I hear Switzerland and Australia.
  3. I'm currently planning to send her to Chula on an emergency basis in an ambulance. Her local hospital sent her home with some antibiotics, an inhaler, and metformin. That's it. She can't breathe, is bleeding uncontrollably, and her diabetes is severe and uncontrolled. Her local gov hospital failed her. So, I'm going to send her to Chula in an ambulance so they take it seriously. She's coughing up green and the cough sounds terrible and is frequent. So, the situation has declined and I'm waiting for her to wake up. Thanks for everyone's guidance.
  4. Hi. I don't know the name of her local hospital. I'll ask. There is also obesity as part of the picture. I know that fat can disrupt hormones. I'm learning as much as I can as quickly as I can to help here. Here's what Chat GPT had to say. I'm not questioning you and thanks for weighing in. All issues must be checked thoroughly by endocrinologist. -- Yes, diabetes can contribute to uncontrolled, non-stop menstrual bleeding, though it’s usually an indirect effectrather than a direct cause. The main reasons diabetes can lead to excessive or irregular menstrual bleeding include: 1. Insulin Resistance & Hormonal Imbalance Diabetes (especially Type 2) is linked to insulin resistance, which disrupts normal hormone levels. Excess insulin can lead to high estrogen levels, which thickens the uterine lining (endometrial hyperplasia)and increases the risk of heavy or prolonged bleeding. 2. PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) Many people with diabetes also have PCOS, a condition where irregular ovulation and high androgens can cause prolonged or heavy periods. PCOS is strongly linked to insulin resistance and unpredictable menstrual cycles. 3. Poor Blood Sugar Control & Blood Vessel Fragility High blood sugar damages blood vessels and can make the uterine lining more prone to prolonged bleeding. Diabetes can impair platelet function, reducing the body’s ability to stop bleeding. 4. Increased Risk of Endometrial Hyperplasia & Cancer Unopposed estrogen (not balanced by progesterone) causes excessive uterine lining growth. Over time, this can lead to persistent heavy periods and an increased risk of endometrial cancer, which can present as prolonged or irregular bleeding. 5. Other Factors (Obesity, Medications, Stress) Obesity, common in Type 2 diabetes, increases estrogen production from fat tissue, worsening bleeding issues. Metformin & other diabetes meds can sometimes affect cycles, though they usually help regulate them. Chronic stress and inflammation from diabetes may also disrupt hormone balance.
  5. A pity they don't talk about exercise and diet. However, great referral. Harvard Medical School stands out in her CV.
  6. I know. But it will need meds (not the regimen from 30 years ago), right diet, and right exercise regimen. Need all of that when referring her to hospital and specialists. I'm skeptical that all this will happen at a free public hospital. Thanks.
  7. Hello everyone. My friend was diagnosed with severe, uncontrolled diabetes 3 days ago (10.3). It's causing havoc with asthma, uncontrolled menstrual bleeding, and anemia. I'd be grateful for refferrals for some top endocrinologists in the Bangkok area. Thank you very much!
  8. Lumpini Park (Monitor Lizard Groove) Over city streets, Through humid heat in fields of green, Under banana trees, To Lumpini Park, that’s where I’ve been. I got high, (What did you feel there?) Well, I cried. (But why the tears there?) Tell you why— It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful. It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful. I feel inclined to blow my mind, Sit back, watch the lizards unwind. They all come out, they roam about, Eat rats and have fun in the sun. I'll tell you what I'll do (what will you do?) I’d like to go there now with you. You can miss out school (won't that be cool?) Why go to learn the words of fools? I got high, (What will we touch there?) We'll touch the sky. (But why the tears there?) I'll tell you why— It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful. It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful. I feel inclined to blow my mind, Sit back, watch the lizards unwind. They all come out, they roam about, Eat rats and have fun in the sun. It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful...
  9. Is it any more insane that the guys who climb skyscrapers with no safety gear and take selfies hanging off the edge? TikTok is a death cult. If you don't have followers, you are worthless!

  12. Personally, I use an app called DineDash. It helps me find great local restaurants with subpar security. Available on both Android and IOS.
  13. By this reasoning, African Americans are not Americans. Nor can any Asian be a Brit. To summarize: Only Anglo-Whites can be British, American, or Australian. The 19th century wants it's memes back.
  14. It's been around for millenia: Central to ancient Lakota Sioux traditions, the legend of Mato, the Two-Spirit bear-guardian, embodies the essence of spiritual harmony and wisdom. In the lush islands of ancient Hawaii, the mahu played a similar role. These people embodied both masculine and feminine qualities, which connected them to the divine forces of the natural world. In ancient Rome, the Galli served the goddess Cybele. These priests, who often renounced traditional male roles and embraced feminine attire, were believed to channel the goddess’s energy through their androgynous identity. The Hijra of ancient India have long held sacred roles, often connected to the goddess Bahuchara Mata. The Hijra’s ability to embody both masculine and feminine traits was seen as a reflection of the goddess’s transformative powers. "Gender roles were fluid in pre-colonial societies. Words to describe up to six different gender variants, beyond the binary of male and female, have been found in 155 Indigenous nations of North America."— Kelsey Klassen, “Two spirits, one struggle: The front lines of being First Nations and gay,” Vancouver Courier Maybe it will fade away soon.
  15. You're gonna lose that battle, buddy! Deal with it! Recent projections suggest that white people may become a minority in England by the 2060s. A study from the London School of Economics in 2019 indicated that under a 'no Brexit' scenario, the proportion of the population identifying as non-White British or Irish could rise to 41.9% by 2061. Similarly, demographer David Coleman has projected that the White British population might become a minority in the UK between 2056 and 2066.
  16. Does it work to go the last few days of the month to get better pricing because they must meet quotas?
  17. You are very kind. I'm in Phuket. I'm getting a lot of excellent leads here!
  18. I have very limited mobility. I can raise the budget if needed. I just started researching. My intention is to buy a certified car from One2Car, have it delivered. End of story. If it works, I'm good. I can walk limited distances.
  19. Are the One2Car prices fair as is? I'm looking only at certified. I guess I can check against bluebook.
  20. Hello friends. So, I want to buy a decent used car and my tentative budget is about 340,000 baht (flexible). I want to buy from a well-known website that offers certification of their used vehicles and a 1-year warrantee. I think that I'd benefit from having a Thai car expert negotiate on my behalf. I think that the dealer shouldn't know a farang is involved at all. A Thai will get a much better deal. So then ... 1) Where can I find such a Thai person to negotiate for me? 2) Is One2Car a reliable site? Is their certified used car program legit, or is it a marketing gimmick? Looks good to me. My idea is to complete this all online. Thanks for your thoughts!
