Thanks for link. The pictures show many "bites". I only get bitten every 2 to 3 days by a single bite. After that, the "attacker" goes on holiday for 2 to 3 days.

Indeed, strange "bed-fellows". Please, not in a context with politics or sexual encounters. I wake up with a little part of my skin "itching". Before, I started to scrach, making things worse. (Looks like a 3 millimeter volcano, in the center a little hole, less than a millimeter, hardly noticable). I stopped scratching, instead I use a cotton puff, drenched in 70% alcohol, applying to the affected area. Rubbing it over the "volcano" for a minute or so. With extremely good results. The "volcano" goes to sleep, not expanding, the itch is gone. Not affecting my daily life in any other way. But still: What could be my "bed fellows"?

Thanks. As opposed to the rest of the contributors, you have taken the time to read my OP. The fact that "excessive water" can be dispursed by other ways than the work of kidneys is of special interest to me as I suspect that my kidneys are "underperforming". Next week, big "check-up". Will bring it up, hoping for some "enlightenment".

We tend to forget, that many moons ago, Thai Ladies were able to convey the "girl friend" syndrome in a very credible way. It was the time when a record number of Thai/Farang marriages took place. For better or for worse. Mostly for worse. But it was a time when every Farang was considered as a monetary God. 20 years later, they discovered that Tourist Farangs usually have a small wallet. So why still go with the "girl friend" routine? They just adopted to international standards when it came to P4P.

I believe it's a cultural thing. These days western women are "fighting back". Verbally and physically. An increase of "domestic violence" as a result. A sulking Thai female (including the refusal of sex) is a powerful weapon. Making the man think, dwelling on things like "what have I done, as normally she is a "good woman". With the end result, that the man feels guilty in some sort of way. A highly effective "power play" by Thai females, refined and perfected over centuries. -------------------------------- PS: Of course some Thai men are professinal "wife beaters". Sulking will not help. But in the sticks of Thailand, some wife beaters die of a sudden death. If this sudden death is caused by poison or the will of some "evil spirits" is usually not of much interest to the villagers.

Thanks all. But the question remains: In case of "sluggish " kidneys, can excessive water be disposed of by alternative "bodily openings" ; rectal openings for example. Judging by my last experiance, I suspect that my kidneys are "underperforming".

I fullfilled all those criteria. Early morning, not eating for 8 hours. No sex for the last 77 years. I would like to revert to my original question. BTW I have a prostate history.

We are lucky, compared to before, the current strain is harmless. Viruses can mutate faster than any other "biological system". We can only hope, that future mutations of this particular virus remain relatively harmless. The only thing that mutates faster is the opinion of a Thai lady under financial stress.

By all means, keep staying away. Otherwise you might start to realise what you are missing.

Nothing new, same procedure ever since Indians were able to buy an airfare to Thailand. Incomprehensable to me why Indians come for sex to Thailand, as this can be had for a fraction of the price in India. One must not even go to the "Black hole of Calcutta". I don't understand those kind of sex tourist.

Today, routine check up. Also had to give urin sample. Drank 1 liter of water 1 hour before. But still could produce only very little urin. Upon returning home, suffering an attack of watery diarreah. Is it possible that excess water can be discharged by way of colon instead of by way of bladder? I had similar experiances before.

WW2 Stuff. Switzerland has harbored Nazi Assets as well as "Allied Assets" in preparation of D-Day. There were as many "German Spies" as "Allied Spies" at the time in Switzerland. Our fathers thaught, when the big powers of this world are willing to "bang each others head in", we dissaprove, but we take 5% while they are banging their heads in. A business concept that Donald Trump would surely approve.

Europe yes. Definitely. The "rest of the world",I don't know.

Relax, it's the "American Way". = Accumulate as much monetary wealth as possible. How is of no importance. Poor people admire rich people, as they may become rich as well someday. The undying American Dream. "Losers" get no mercy, "it's their own fault". It's not a desease, it's capitalisem in it's purest possible remaining form. It's a commercial/religious concept that will be upheld for as long as possible by the "finpol elite" in this country. Finpol? = Financial/Political Elite. Not seperable.

To look at Melanias "career" before Trump is helpful. The master dealmaker made just another deal some years ago. Plenty of clips that show Melanias bodylanguage, ranging from disinterest to embarassement to utter contempt. A puppet on a string, living in a golden cage. Adults should be able to interpret "body language" to a certain minimum degree. Those that cant't, will end up in divorce court. Probably more than once.

Right on. Among the many imponderabilities between "the West" and China, why has the "International Press" not isolated the Rare Earth Problem as absolutely PARAMOUNT. Qualifying the many other Chinese Problems as secondary. Decades ago we thought that we were dependent on oil from "the Arabs". Childs play compared to the dependency of Chinese rare earths of today. The West is sitting at the chinese poker table. The Chinese have all the cards, we have none. The "chief dealmaker" will not change this constellation.

Concernig this post, one should pay much attention of what was listed under "American Exceptionalism". Seems to me, the US has a long way to go, before America is great again.

What U-Tube channels are you following? Have you been to a hospital recently?

THE PROBLEM IS: As all major Pharmaceutical Companies have stopped to look for new "anty bacterial agents" (research too expensive and the end product not profitable enough), it is forseeable that eventually the microscopic bugs will win the "arms race".

Are you OK connda? Your above post does not reflect your usual "down to earth" comments. Come tomorrow, start with a strong cup of coffee in combination with 2 Alka Selzer .

Thanks. You are explaining that there is an "arms race" between microscopic Attackers versus Bodily Defenders. A war going on since 4 billion years. Nothing new. Thanks to Antibiotics, we have won a temoprary victory. Temporary, well understood.

Heard of it. Reproduction without having sex. Clone yourself. No brain needed for this process. Evolution has gone astray by "inventing" something like a "brain", enabeling "the brain" to invent atomic bombs. I envy my Goldhamster with his underdeveopped brain.

Yeah, but it needs to "pause" or correct in form of a "flag". Otherwise somebody is trying to "corner the market" once more. We had this before.

As I mentioned above, Silver is trying to catch up with Gold. It's happening. "All in" with Silver would have paid out so far. Next target 38, then 40 (in US $). I also mentioned that investing in Silver is the equivalent of "riding on the back of a Tiger". Still the case.

The meaning of this post was: It's amazing that we have survived as a species so far. Thankfully our "immune system" is aware that zillions of big or little "villains" have decided that us humans are a perfect target for their reproductive environement, making us sick or killing us. The "God's" or "the God" made sure that we never would get the idea that our Earth would be a carefree "paradise" for us. But that is another matter, best discussed in some strange U-Tube channels, but not here.
