Yes. Self waterboarding is well known for good health!

Not sure if advice about the son matters if you don't like being with the woman. Also not sure if that's your house, or you moved into her house? I might have it wrong, but it sounds like you don't enjoy being with her either...that she "tricked" you. If thats the case, it's simple...move on. Even though you love her youngest son. I'm sure she wouldn't prevent you from seeing him still when monies being shared. If things are good with her, then yeah, you have a head scratcher on how to make things good but no matter what way, it will require a lot of patience and effort. good luck!

has to be attached to gpt 4. 3.5 is like using rotary phone compared to iphone 14. It's evolving that quickly. And gpt 5 is, well, gonna be like using a toothpick to dig a hole vs a land excavator. and it's due out in only a few months. excited and scared at the same time. Don't send your kids to college any more. Get a skilled labor job training. Skynet can't do that stuff yet lol

it's data 3.5 is from 2021. It really wouldn't know the current countries anyways.

yes, it has the woke programmed into its data replies and search. Not a good sign.

Always had problems when doing something myself there. Last time I went for a simple 30 day extension in the morning, seen a long line already.... called my agent and gave her the 1000 baht to give me my day back. Well worth it.

Pattaya Memorial will answer you via FB messenger on what their price is usually within few hours.. And answer email in about 24 hours. No need to drive to it. They are pretty fair (for the going rates) on services. BKK Pattaya answers LINE app quickly as well. But their prices are 3-4x PMH.

never had it around when I fasted, but have heard it recommended.

It's fantastic for you. And our bodies are built for it. Trust me, you are not starving yourself if you don't eat for a day, or most of a day. Your testosterone and hgh levels also INCREASE while doing it. However, in the beginning it's difficult, and we FEEL hungry (or at least our mouths do). Why? Because you've conditioned your body and mind that its gonna get X, y and z at certain times. You can also condition it to absolutely not feel hungry after a little time of practicing it. Again, it's NOT easy in the beginning. WE got that little devil on our shoulders that will tell you to go ahead, eat that, it's little. Or eat that, we'll start for real tomorrow. It's tough, I know. I used to do it for quite awhile, and I'm trying to get myself back to it now because I just gained 7 kilo over the past month because I bought a sugar replacement supplement to put in my new BLEH protein shake I was trying.... that I thought was sugar free/calorie free and it ended up highly concentrated, meaning i was eating like two candy bars a day suddenly and not knowing it. Check this guy out, he's got a ton of material on fasting, and is well respected, and a lot of short simple videos on it in YT: https://www.dietdoctor.com/intermittent-fasting You don't have to worry about electrolytes etc at just 48 hours or 20 hours. I prefer building myself to 19 hour fasts daily with 5 hour eating window in which I eat my first meal big and completely healthy...then I eat whatever I want after that for the rest of the night. (I like to eat from 6 to 10 so I can be social with others and drink). It's also easier to not eat if you don't eat anything in the morning and kick off a certain gland I can't remember the name of. Now, if you are doing 48 hour fasts...it's really only one day you don't eat. For example: Monday you start your fast...but you eat all you want until noon. Start fast. Tuesday: Eat nothing (to me, this day is much easier than Monday. My body has just turned off the desire to eat really. But Monday I keep wanting to sneak a snack) Wednesday: Start eating again at noon. Or maybe keep going if you are not hungry. I"ve heard cocnut water is ok during coffee water fasts, and for electrolytes you may want to get ahold of some pink sea salt (not table salt). Best of luck. It does work if you go thru with it. Fasting is amazing once you uncondition yourself from the bad habits (ease of access of bad, processed foods) everywhere all day everyday.

openly sold in every market and on the streets everywhere.

ok. As I had never considered testing outside of a hospital before, or bringing tests. In US most anything outside of their own circle is rejected for use on the basis of possible litigation by the patient for wrong diagnosis/treatment. But everything is a whole different game here in Thailand. thank you for helping once again, Sheryl

@Sheryl is it ok, or how do you approach it, to go see the doctor first....who then wants to run different blood/ urine tests. How do you broach the subject of getting the info on what tests they want to take and then leave to get them done at the lab instead? or do you not do this ever?

No. your way is logical and sane lol. I dream of how much I could get done in starting a new biz using your model.

the Thai will fall in line once they see the reasoning and can get the population technologically up to speed. This is just the necessary hysteria needed drummed up to start pushing hard the complete and only digital currency CBDC in the USA. You'll see a couple more Banks fail. You'll see how the FDIC will cry they can't insure it any longer. You'll see mass news about it, and how CBDC is the only solution via the gov. Just like the pandemic was the excuse to derail logistics, industry, and push a huge hidden tax (inflation) to put their heel on the middle class. They are not even hiding anything since the beginning of the 'pandemic'. The Western powers that be have those green eyes for the Chinese government structure and control.

ugh. almost can't avoid the bike, but am doin the rest based on your recommendation.

thank you for the wisdom there. I appreciate it.

That math hits me a lot while living here lol. But I'm not built that way. I prefer a relationship. However, it Doesn't mean I can't envy the lack of complexity in your life though. Cheers to freedom of decisions.

according to Llisa shlesinger, a comedian...she can't stand being with the younger guys as they ask permision for everything like a dog begging for a treat and wimpering lol. (She's late 30's I think?). Good looking woman. she says that society has sucked the masculinity out of them and it's severly depressing to experience.

If you switch out pornography for Instagram and Tik Tok and FB, you nailed it. It's not the junk in mens head. That's been there since the dawn of time. Pornography too. However, females, seem very susceptible to believing the fakeness of IG lives as real life and think they should get to live the life of a queen (without realizing that while a queen has immense power, it comes with immense work and responsibility.). They don't want to put in that effort. Or to give in order to get. And while they have the looks, their DM's are filled daily by boys and men continuing to sell that dream, offer the world (fake promises), and while also deriding the current partner with 100% complete blind agreement and falsities thrown at the reigning man...so that they always have that back door escape even BEFORE marriage and all the financial rewards of marrying and divorcing as you mention. I'm not advocating porn, but I'm saying that's not the variable that's changed, social media and the smart phone are the new ingredient that's, frankly, made the entire world worse imo, not just dating. Think back you can to about only 8 years ago ish...how many less problems the world seemed to have, less hate, less adversity. And that was when smartphones starting becoming popular. FB already existed. Even then, it took a few years for it to go from being a fun combo into a wicked combonation eliciting such hate a despair and division amoungst all people.

Yeah, age doesn't mean he's bad or not up to date...but being up to date I think becomes less likely statistically. Thank you for sharing. I'm glad to hear a positive experience. oh. Is his English pretty good?

I doubt he was a doctor at 22. It takes about 10 to 14 years to graduate and become licensed as a doctor. Which would put him hovering around 80. I'll do that with Lifecare labs. Good idea. bike? you include motorbike/ clicks / scooters as a bike? RE: medication. What should I say to them exactly so that they don't force their meds onto my bill? I know that sounds like a dumb question, but I tried to stop them one time and I basically got a "no, no, can't" and got ignored. I didn't push it though. Usually when at a hospital you are not in the mood for arguing.

Hi. I have been told to find the Doctor, and not chase the hospital before. But I've used Memorial several times and have had decent experiences both times. Once for surgery for broken bones even. However, some months back I asked for urologists with a good name here in Pattaya area (I don't know the problem, that's why I'd be going in), and his was not one that was suggested. This will all be out of pocket, and I did research the consulatations of recomendations that were in BKK Hospital Pattaya and they were 3x more expensive just for the consultation alone, so I can only imagine the same if not worse for the care. Of course, you'll never find anything online really in Thailand about doctors. And I know this does not mean anything, and it's sort of even agist....but doing the math that he graduated 50 years ago to become a doctor he is squarely over 80 and that leaves me wondering how up to date he is with issues and solutions. I know that's not fair...but I feel it might be real. Might anyone have an experience to share, good or bad, with me before I commit to going to him?

welp. mailed the passport day after return from cambodia. Now just sitting in no-mans' land praying they get it back to me in time for the extension. And honestly, after doing my first border run, I'll be looking for different visa to use. Losing a full day to travel (and the discomfort of it)...it's probably costing me more in lost monies than saving me. Plus I got to watch one guy get denied getting back in when a new girl came in at shift change. I don't like those kind of surprises.

I haven't been home in about 3 years, but intend to fly back in sept/oct. I have one last land border run allowed which would take me to almost august. then I need to figure out a way to stay another 2 months ish. I don't qualify for retirement yet... and education, etc is overpriced for that short term. Wish it was as easy as places like the philipines, but hey...part of the fun I guess, right?

thanks so much for the info. I assumed all that would be covered when I sent it in for renewal...but reading this post I got a little nervous for a second. Thank you again for sharing.
