  1. never underestimate the democrats ability to ruin things for themselves (their donors).      from the party that gave you the Clintons and the 2016 election

    Trump came to power fueled by popular dissatisfaction with that bipartisan liberal internationalism whose claims to be improving the world were discredited by both the Forever Wars and the global economic meltdown of 2008.

  2. I believe most Adult-onset DM2 is related to insulin resistance ;  whereby the receptor cell for insulin are "worn-out" , I'm guessing this isn't "curable" .

     

    We were taught, DM2 is really a cardiovascular problem or lets say multi-system ;  7-11 doesn't help.

  3. The expert on the donald was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Barrett

    and his village voice writings and books.

     

    Looking at his life on the whole, he has survived some near bankruptcy; he has had a succession of sexy wifes; he gets to play a lot of golf on his own golf courses; esp when he was younger, he was an icon to many of successful businessman, and still is a celebrity;

     

    I can also recommend Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, this pretty much explains the American Zeitgeist, of which donald embodies, esp for someone from Queens.

  4. Did you know Uzbekistan won the olympics?

    If adjusted by GDP (minimizing wealth gap impacting attaining Olympic medals) Uzbekistan scored the most medals, followed by Hungary, Kenya, New Zealand and Ukraine with China and the US in 20 and 21st place.

    Good post!

     

     

    what did you find "good" about it?

     

    I supposed they meant "ask" here, "When in doubt, as for an opinion from the insurer claims manager. "

     

    I might some more suggestions on how to use https://www.aoc-insurancebroker.com/International-Health-Insurance-Comparison

    https://www.aoc-insurancebroker.com/Private-Health-Insurance-Asia

    I am sorry if this question has already been answered , for sure it has but searching into thousands of messages it's not easy ,so forgive me if i ask again:

     

    For 1 year retirement visas based on 800K in the bank account and 50yo age, is there a minimum stay in Thailand for the visa not to be cancelled or a number of permits of exits a year ?

    For example when i renew the 1 year visa , do they check if i stayed minimum ....say..... 180 days out of 365 or exited no more than 2/3 times etc..something like that ?

    No problem with the 800K, i just want to know if i go to visit my family or travel around, i want to make sure my visa is not cancelled without the need to make the whole process again. 

    Thank you in advance

     

    did you find an answer, I too am interested.

     

    esp now with the DTVs, btw does one need a 2nd proof of ongoing business /education  or just the initial one with a letter from a school?

  7. well, tbh kind of a dumb question. too many factors involved, focusing on 1 number is short-sighted.

     

    example, are you on any BP meds? what other meds are you on ? do you take the BP at the exact same time daily, what time is that, are you sitting in a chair, and have rested 5 minutes? on and on.   I think you may need to edit the post also, think you duplicated the paragraphs,  :P      

     

    if you want to gauge your risks, try something like a 10 year heart attack calculator and maybe post your lipids and sugar levels

    I'm looking for a smart worldly sophisticated woman like the kind James Bond meets. They could be of any nationality or color. I'm not finding that here.

     

    Can you see James Bond with these immature Thai ladies? Would never happen.

     

    I think you are right Jim, or is it James :)

     

    if you can find one that lived overseas for a while, not just travelled to Korea or so.  for all my years, I've yet to get even older ladies to offer an sincere emotional response to 'how are you feeling?'    it's like it doesn't exist, just living in the moment,  prefer to talk about food , tbh, this is also a general asian thing,   otoh, maybe you won't get nagged for the same reasons as you would in the great west

  9. is anyone aware of any apartments that have an actual electric range/oven ?    preferably near BTS/MRT, maybe even Thonburi, Chatuchak/Ari ,  Ekkamai          anywhere, years ago I met an older man said he had one, as he liked to cook.

     

    been playing with renthub.in.th  but not finding a reliable way to find one, assuming they are not 1 in 1000? and/or worse
