  1. It's perfectly safe and a great time-saver, right up until it isn't.
  2. Maybe Jet-lagged. I don't see how this is due to "Thailand's perilous roads" though. He was in the wrong lane.
  3. Are you saying it's a bad idea, or are you suggesting that that's the only thing they're doing?
  4. We did, but it was that one guy down at the end of the bar. Now they can all find each other.
  5. Why? What's the mechanism? It certainly doesn't accelerate the pulse or raise blood pressure.
  6. If you call yourself "ex-pat" instead of "immigrant" you don't have to think of yourself as one of those dirty foreigners. ????
  7. What was the breakdown of the 205? The lower your LDLs the less chance of a stroke. Forget the 205 and focus on that number. If you can get it well below 100 you've greatly decreased your chances of an adverse cardiac event. how to do that? All the boring stuff: Exercise, eating well (the so-called Mediterranean diet or the Dash diet are statistically the best), and if need be, medication.
  8. What difference does it make that you fly with them a few times every year and never had a problem? Was this guy on any of your flights?
  9. You can enter the US with an expired US passport. I assume the same is true for an expired Thai passport in Thailand.
  10. Use a hair dryer to get it as dry as possible, then apply dermacombin liberally. Keep at it and if it's anything like what I had (it sounds like it) it will disappear.
  11. So you're thinking he was squeaky clean before coming to Thailand?
  12. If this happened in the US she'd get millions.
  13. It was a play on words.
  14. Bumrungrad is very good. In Pattaya, where I usually am, I go to Pattaya International. I've had basal cell carcinoma removed in both places. At Bumrungrad, where I had some removed from my nose, I also had a skin graft done by their cosmetic surgeon to fill the spot where they removed the disc of skin. I'm very pleased with the result of that. People don't even notice unless I point it out. Pricey, but worth it.
  15. It's healthier, and the Impossible Burger, to me, tastes better than your average hamburger. I was highly resistant until I was finally convinced to try one. It was fantastic.
  16. 4 pages of comments on this pressing issue.
  17. FTFA: "While this airport might have seen its final flight in 1998, this closed-down plane hub in Hong Kong is still worth a mention due to its historically hair-raising landings of the past."
  18. "I wish to put it on record that we dismiss all fabricated allegations" We dismiss the fabricated ones. The others let's not talk about ????
  19. It's like a scene from a Marx Brothers movie. Come to think of it, there was this exchange in A Night at the Opera: Groucho: "Get outta here before I get arrested." Chico: "Nah I'd like to stay and see that."
  20. As many as they'll give me. Anti-vaxxers seem to all believe that a) the vaccine is dangerous, b) that it doesn't work, and c) that masks don't work. Those are three separate issues, and each requires a separate conspiracy. If the vaccines don't work, and they're dangerous, that means that they believe that: - We are not capable of producing an effective vaccine - Even without the requirement of effectiveness we can't make it safe Insert appropriate amount of eye-rolling here. If all your beliefs depend on conspiracy theories then you're doing it wrong.
  21. I took it to mean the car slid in, then floated downstream.
  22. According to this free-fall calculator, it's a bit under 27 seconds. Surely there was instant regret, so how many times can a person call themselves an idiot in 27 seconds? https://keisan.casio.com/exec/system/1231475371
