That's actually not such a bad call. I'll ask my wife to do it later today.

Wife said she has iphone 6 plus That's all the info I could get out of her.

I have done as instructed. Thank you.

(I have a Samsung Galaxy M11 Android Version 10) The pix i take with my smartphone are like 8 MB each. And yet these pix are blurrier and have all-around poorer quality than my wife's smartphone pix, which are like 400 KB each. Is there any way I can adjust my phone's camera? And, if so, what are the specific steps?

Well, not a pleasant prospect. But better to hear it sooner than later. Thank you. I'm currently in northern Isan.

Almost 4 days with no significant picking. Combination of ointment and bandages with tape. Here's a clearer picture (from yesterday).

i just checked. the spokes feel pretty consistent throughout the wheel.

Yes, I remember you from that forum. You have personally given me advice/info in the past. You are one of the members who makes this forum a worthwhile place to visit.

Well, yes, I would hope a qualified doctor would have noticed the issue's severity. But the thing is: I didn't realize the matter was important enough to go to a doctor. In fact, I almost didn't bother making that post at all. I thought people would ridicule me for worrying over a small boo-boo. It turned out they told me to get immediate medical attention.

Good to know. I might just go that route.

Maybe the bike hit a curb. It's fallen over countless times. Something seems less than stable about it. I lost my kickstand recently too.

I honestly don't know for sure. I'm pretty useless at this stuff. The only thing I can say with confidence is that two Thai guys who fix bikes seemed to have a reaction to it. If I had to guess, I would say the rim bent. The bike has suffered considerable trauma.

Sorry, my cell phone camera is rather sub-optimal. The lesion, or whatever it may be, is considerably raised. Yes, I've pulled off scabs. Multiple times. It's embarrassing to admit. I sometimes do this without even realizing it. Some discharge. A little bit of blood. Maybe also some yellow discharge, as with a blister. My face has broken out before. But not as severely. And for only a matter of days. This current bout is more pronounced and, at 3 weeks now, has lasted far longer.

The best urgent medical advice I ever received was from this forum, which likely saved my leg from infection a couple months back. https://aseannow.com/topic/1258683-what-happened-to-me/#comment-17340813 ( I also think the forum is very underrated for relationship advice. )

I don't know how to describe it, in any language. i've included a picture below. two red shapes added to show people where the issue begins and ends. two people near my village who fix bikes have pointed to it and seem to feel it's a problem. one of the two even seemed to say it was dangerous to add air to the tire when it's like this, as if the tire could blow up or something. is this true? (i wonder if something got lost in translation) do i need to buy a whole new wheel over something like this?

I've included a picture. The issue is located within the red outline. I realize there's a separate facial blemish shortly outside the red outline. It's a scar from half a lifetime ago, so not relevant to the current issue. I've had this current issue for 3 weeks now. I tried putting some pimple-fighting powder on it. Not much success. So I gave up. In the last few days, I started adding some rubbing alcohol, so as to prevent (further) infection. Now comes the embarrassing part: I have very little self-control with picking at myself. Much of the time, I do it without even realizing, until I see the blood on my fingers. The band-aides I buy here tend to fall off in like 20 minutes. Is there some product I should buy? Maybe an ointment or something?

I've recently noticed that the links in my last several months of sent messages all start with "streaklinks.com" I most certainly did not include that part when I formatted those hyperlinks. Streak has decided to add that part on its own. Does anyone know why? Also, seeing as how it's now pretty obvious I'm a Streak user to anyone who reads a hyperlinked email from me ... Do people tend to look unfavorably upon Streak users? (there is, i suppose, something a little bit stalkish about wanting to know if, when and where someone has checked your email message)

Will do, man. Thank you for the blunt warning.

I have heard that, when describing SEA people of darker complexion, it is better to say คนผิวสีน้ำผึ้ง instead of คนดำ But would educated Thais consider it inappropriate for a farang to describe people of African descent as คนดำ ? On a similar note, is it socially acceptable to describe the African continent as ทวีปดำ ?

I have some problematic teeth I'd like to jettison. Don't want any fillings, etc. Just get 'em outta my life. So, can I just go to a Thai public hospital, point out a few unwanted teeth, and have the dentist yank away? In case it makes a difference, I'm already "in the system" at my local public hospital (received treatment for a leg infection a few months ago. must say i was impressed with the service and value. saved my leg for about 400 baht) How much would the teeth pulling cost? Do they charge by the tooth?
