  1. But you wouldn't be able to come here to complain if there wasn't an internet, along with the million other good uses it has.
  2. Some are right and some are wrong. When we pass, all will see the truth.
  3. There is no serious contradictory evidence that there isn't a creator. Only scientists (some) with theories that haven't been proven. It doesn't matter how many days it took or how old the universe is. That people believe that it came about without a plan, being created, is the only reality. Matter, which is what a lot of what the universe is, besides energy which can't be seen, does not happen from nothing, besides the big bang theory, which we believe was Gods tool. Many try to explain their theories, but common sense rides above conjecture. It's okay for some to believe otherwise, because that's their opinion. Faith and common sense has us believe otherwise. Many people who have turned against religion, God, have suffered a loss, so they believe if there's a God, how could he let things happen that are bad. Good questions we will all understand when we ourselves pass. One look at all the species on the earth, how the earth is just the right distance from the sun to sustain life, and how all living things have all they need here to survive, along with the complexity of the human brain, shows this just didn't happen by chance, but of course some will believe that fairy tale.
  4. One of my daughters has full arm tattoos, and all of her ex boyfriends are still with us besides one, but I think he died from an overdose.
  5. No, he wouldn't be in my thoughts at all. I remember snow in New Jersey, a chill in the air in the evening in Texas, a great dinner in both places with family, children opening their presents with wide eyes, going hunting or ice fishing, families getting together from a distance, Christmas music at stores, the smell of pine trees, A Charlie Brown Christmas, enjoyed as a child and seeing my own kids enjoy it later, and looking forward to being with friends on New Years Eve.
  6. Still the same, as many people love traditions.
  7. Christmas is still the same back in the US, just to let you know. I left 6 years ago, and have visited three times since, and have connections back there about al the goings on.
  8. The same for me. Sometimes it's every two hours. Annoying at times.
  9. Nighttime frequency also is related to BPH
  10. A native English speaker is one who has English as their first language.
  11. That's why I mentioned that 27000 is too high ha ..........I'm 172 and 76 kg and I don't count calories but usually eat around 2000 a day, for the last 50 years. Worked out until recently 4 days a week with weights and maintained a low body fat. You're taller so would need more calories to maintain weight.
  12. I'm Polish and Irish but grew up around Italians and have some relatives, including my godfather, who's mom made to this day the best sauce. She and husband were from Sicily. Impossible for me to give up pasta, eating Orzo now, as it's a big part of my daily carbs.You can eat pasta but have to limit it if you're diabetic, as a few of my family members are, and my brother died at 67 from a heart attack which came from not losing weight as a diabetic. If people would google who lives the longest on average, they would see it's the blue zone ones, like Mediterranean and Okinawa for 2 examples. No arguing with a higher average life span they have. genetics plays a role of course but it's not even half of the full equation.
  13. I'm thinking that was a typo and you meant 2700. You really don't need even that much daily. Somewhere around 2200 depending on your exercise routine.
  14. Stick with vegetables that are low glycemic, like broccoli, cauliflower, salad greens, cabbage, carrots, bell peppers of all colors, zucchini squash, green beans, and others. Stay away from, or limit, starchy ones like rice, pasta, corm, root vegetables and the like. All protein sources are good, like chicken, beef, pork, fish, eggs. You can stir fry those veggies with meat easily. Grilled also, with veggies sides steamed or boiled. Don't drink calories in any form. (If you like to drink alcohol, limit them). Look for soy milk, almond, pistachio or oat that is unsweetened unless you aren't sensitive to regular milk. Read labels to see the amount of sugar in boxed cereals and rice dishes. Easy to google low sugar and fat recipes that are easy to prepare.
  15. "Of course, everything they said was a lie. They did nothing like they promised. I told her that now she has options....if they treat you bad treat them bad back. So she refused to do certain duties, became rude to Thai bosses.....needless to say I was proud and they were shocked. Last month she got the boot saying something like inability to do her manager duties."..........................This is usually not a very good idea if you want to continue working, as you're the employee and aren't supposed to be rude to anyone above you in power. And refusing to do her job also? Usually what happens is what did. She got canned. What happens after can be taking it up with a lawyer to try and get back at those who fired you, but her work ethics come into play then and you're outta luck. They said she wasn't doing her job as a manager and that's all the excuse they needed. Telling her to act that way wasn't too smart.
  16. If you have any symptoms it's always best to find out before it gets worse. Plenty of kits available here................https://shopee.co.th/product/35644689/21269376030?gads_t_sig=VTJGc2RHVmtYMTlxTFVSVVRrdENkVzBLS2xuUGZzMlQ5NjlFWklmRkZjU3lWU2R5cmZ5VXhqVnJLTEpLcFRiTjZTdktLYkxycDB5Q1g2a3FMSEc1Tk8xY3NxaTNvVmIraUo2N1o4a3BDOGVFV2grK3lZVmp3QmloeDc4c0NZZEw&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAyJS7BhBiEiwAyS9uNbd0pgAdUJgOJoWh-Lt2BYn6DxJFWYgi5iK-q7fI-ZM7rodFM-EjexoCDe4QAvD_BwE
  17. I know many do it, and I don't see a problem with it a few times, but you do it with almost all of your posts, trying to get some kind of point across which most of us already see or understand. .................No, it's not legal to share many YouTube videos without the creator's permission or without falling under certain exceptions: ....

  18. But the question isn't really about medals or superiority in sports, which is still individual or team based, at least for a particular year. It's about are we really better in the eyes of Thais. This means little , as prejudice and money are involved, and that throws logic out the window anyway. Some locals hate all foreigners. Some tolerate them, and some like them, besides the actions of a few which makes a certain nationality look bad to some who are plainly close minded. You can't measure medals won per million because these are individuals that are the best (known) in a particular sport. Most of the population cannot win medals in anything anyway, so the amount of people doesn't matter. Again, I'm American but fully understand the US is all countries together, and not a separate entity like Germany, Spain, France etc.
  19. An adult usually doesn't resort to generalizations about any one race or nationality, because common sense shows this is an impossible thing to do without knowing all about everyone involved. The US wins more medals but that doesn't mean all US people are better in any way than anyone else. The same goes for all countries. The US is a melting pot of all countries so being prejudiced against it means you're prejudiced against your own people, because of the former. No race or nationality is superior to any other. People are better in sports than others, but that's also an individual thing, The US has better regular football players than all other countries, but that's because other countries aren't as involved in the sport. Baseball is a US pastime, but some Japanese players have proven to be top of the line as far as talent for the game. If you're talking about people in general, no one is any better than anyone else, besides in individual ways. Some just act better than others, which doesn't mean they are better people, but they might act better socially. Prejudice sure rears it's ugly head here, and that shows inferiority as a person.
  20. And the winner for today's biggest assumption goes to......
  21. No, this one............https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5093026/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_6_nm_2_in_0_q_papillon
  22. A father who sticks up for his father and uncle's predator ways isn't a father and shouldn't be allowed to be around his daughter without supervision. This is the lowest of animals that live here, and both perpetrators should be jailed for years to come. Hopefully the girl has other relatives that can care for her.
  23. Yellowstone Season 5 Part 1, Sisu, John Wick 4, The River, Abbott and Costello "Lost in a Harem", Beetlejuice,Beetlejuice, Papillon (new).
