  1. If this is in reference to the food stall and sit down eating shaded areas some return to pre-covid setup might be nice?

    But plz no beach hawkers approaching when on the beach like in Bali !!! OMG!!????????

     

    I used to (when I first emigrated, n lived for a time at Surin Beach) I enjoyed visiting one stall run by a lovely tiny skinny lass (next to the bike park section and a few stalls along from the first stall) ... beautiful coconut smoothies and delicious food after a hard session at Maximum.

     

  2. Sadly the gods gave us two heads, but only enough blood to run one at a time. 

     

    Man, he must have been senile to allow a gal fleece him for 'billions'. Millions maybe but billions !!?? 

     

    In the years I used pay for play freelancers, with some over many years of regular contact any fleecing was minimal and no request for 'sick buffalo' money was ever handed over.

  3. Cockroaches hate Lavender oil. Its the best roach killer I've ever used ... mixed in a sprat bottle and direct on a roach it kills it instantly (changed the Ph in their bodies apparently - no time to crawl away and lay a batch of eggs which happens with all other synthetic pesticides). 

    If you mix some oil into wash-bucket mix this will deter them.

     

    They also hate any citrus based cleaners so the more you wipe surfaces, and add to the floor mop mix too it will help.

    In cupboards you can use borax, or mothballs. They suffocate from the heavier than air fumes of the naphthalene.

  4. RIP young man. Peace for you. I am sad to think of the violence towards you and from your partner ????????

     

    I was once surprised, I was simply ignorant (perhaps even somewhat naive as a young therapist) of the factual nature of some, some gay relationships and that fact was/is that domestic violence by one against the other partner was/is high per capita compared to DV in heterosexual relationships. In other words it appears to be quite common.

    I learnt this over many years of providing therapy for gay and straight folks and having access the lots and lots of session time, and emperical data on the subject of DV and morbidity factors.

  5. Multiple officers within a short running distance from the Paragon.

    All trained to fire their weapons.

    Multiple officers armed to respond.

     

    Slow response from same.

     

    Sound like the same BS excuses and cowardice as at the Uvalde school to me.

     

    You put on the uniform, you take to oath to serve and protect even unto your own life.

     

     

     

     

  6. It appears (if the news feeds are at all close to accurate??????) that the young lad has schizophrenia and was way off his meds.

    He apparently was telling the police, after they nabbed him, that he was talking to and could see someone nearby that clearly was not there before and after they nabbed him.

     

    If anyone knows anyone who is prescribed psychotropic med's and is not taking them or knows someone not yet diagnosed who is hearing voices, or seeing things then plz call the nearest mental health hospital.

  7. 21 hours ago, bignok said:

    What is the present? Current minute, hour or day or week?

     

    How are we supposed to live in something that cant be defined or can it?

     

     

    Therein lies your tension, your need to look for conundrums.

    The whole notion of the 'present' and 'being present' in it, is simply put being contactful, engaged with self and that which is outside of self, fluid, curious, flexible, spontaneous and other existential functionings.

    There is no understanding the present as such. It is an unfolding serious of as yet unexperienced continuous experiences, once experienced (to whatever degree we allow ourselves to experience it) it then becomes the past.

    One mob of people I have known described the present as just that, a gift unknown until unwrapped (experienced) thats why its called the present. 

  8. I can't speak for those three.

     

    BUT ...

    I have had 3 at BNH with superb care and safe service.

    The first 2 were paid in cash at about 750 AUD total, the third was on my wiz-bang super-duper medical insurance so paid in full through the fund.

     

    Its important to chose the safest hospital you can afford as colonoscopies hold some risk. The bowel is relatively soft tissue and if the camera is not manoeuvred safely can perforate the bowel.

    So, a clinician with impeccable credentials is paramount.

    Also you need to have someone escort you home just in case you are a bit flakey after the sedative-meds.

  9. A really carefully planned, eco-conscious line across the island would be a wonderful transport idea, and a really good tourist attraction. 

    Imagine it winding its way almost silently through the green national park, with awesome views from the higher climes of the island, then arriving in Phuket town, and on to a few of the south eastern beaches.

  10. I had no idea that dancing like a stripper (not that strippers aren't ok), but the difference is this lass does it in front of literally millions of people, many of them minors, in extremely suggestive sexual ways was anything to be given an award for.

    Now its time for me to flagellate myself with my hip before a statue of the Madonna for my naughty thoughts lol ????
