What is this famed ladyboy insurance?  

I need to contact my agent and make sure I get me some.

Seems more lucrative than bitcoin right now.

Make me more worried they got a suicide bombing tip.

Only fear I have in a club is what the bar tab is at the end of the night.

...and in Thailand, that maybe all the goods are original expected equipment lol.

where was this quote?

I was really hoping others had some quotes to share as well in this thread to get an idea what a fair price is in thailand for this kind of procedure.

Would you agree that if you want to kill a bunch of people at once

a gun is a lot more convenient then say,a knife?

Your question doesn't change the data that exists.

It's just an attempt to use diversion to take away from the real, and actual, facts on the subject.

Not to mention that over 55% of the deaths caused by guns are suicides, not homocides.

You can't just ignore facts because you don' t like something.  

I get it though, these are exploited news stories of gruesome events that are emotion evoking.






 

I don't own a gun.  Never have.  

But blaming deaths on guns is an over reach.  When you check homocides in all countries, USA is smack dab in the middle.

People wanting to kill others are going to do it and are doing it.  And that's seen thru the homocide numbers around the world where guns are NOT available.  No guns are not stopping other countries from having higher rates of homocides.

More than anything, imo, it's the culture (both national AND local/ethnic and also usually poverty level) that predicates the homocides and not the instruments of death available.



 

Favorite cars I ever drove and owned.

Here in thailand? Getting in a car for daily living is like throwing away my day vs taking a bike.

So, depends how much you drive really?

Maybe just rent one for kicks when you want might be better?

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

Question:
What countries have banned ChatGPT?

 

Answer:
As an AI language model, I have no information that any country has officially banned ChatGPT. However, accessing ChatGPT or any other chatbot service may be restricted or blocked in certain countries due to government restrictions, firewall or internet censorship policies, or other reasons beyond our control.

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

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.

No, coconut water from fresh coconuts contains carbs (sugar) and will break a fast.

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.

I usually know what tedldts may be needed.

 

If I do not, or the doctor recommends test(s) I have not had I usually get it done at the hospital unless it is something unusually expensive. Which is infrequent.

 

There is no problem to be candid with a doctor about cost concerns. Ask how much tests will cost.

 

It will usually not save money once in a doctor consultation to leave and go to a lab outside as that would entail 2 separate paid doctor visits eheras usyally get charged jyst ince if you are sent to hosputal lB and return right after.  Makes sense only if the test is something that won't yield results quickly. 

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?

Yes but I'm not saying there isn't a price to pay.  It would have been nice if one of my past relationships had worked but there comes a time when you have to say enough is enough and find a different way.  It took me far to long to learn that.

 

At the moment I'm enjoying it but who knows what will happen next week, next month or next year? I doubt it though ????.

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.

It tajes 6 years post high school to complete a medical degree in Thailand.  People do indeed becomd doctors ar 23 or so here.

 

Specialty training takes longer of course. 

 

Yes I would include motorcyce as a bike.  

 

When you see the doctor find out what medications (if any) he is prescribing. Whrn you arrive st cashier tell them right away you do not need the medications. 

 

If they give you flak stand your ground. By law hospitals cannot require you to buy medications from their pharmacy. 

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

English is ok, not perfect, but you'll have a good English speaking nurse close by. On the subject of meds, you'll go to the cashier to pay (ground floor), ask for the list of meds before you pay, then you move to the right where the pharmacist is and they'll take them off. I would take a photo of the list so you can buy elsewhere easily. I didn't discuss taking the meds off with the Dr, i just did it, mine where basic bill padding stuff

thank you for the wisdom there.  I appreciate it.

After several goes with both Thai and Western, I'd rather have neither and play the field as long as I'm able. Much cheaper too - you can get a maid for less than a wife costs and some maids come with benefits. When you want a change or a newer model, you just get a new one. ????

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.

On a somewhat serious note, I do worry about the effect of pornography today, but not for men, more for boys.

 

I don't think it's a stretch to say that for many of us sex ed was rooting through Dad's sock draw for his porn stash.

 

Thing was back then it was a lot more vanilla and for a lot of it even the teenage male brain could tell it was staged.

 

Not so sure about that today, and I fear that what a lot of what those boys watch online gives them a very misleading idea of what is regular sex versus fantasy.

 

It's not that I would want to restrict porn, I think as an adult I can distinguish reality and fantasy, but not so sure a 15 year old boy can make that distinction

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.

Especially since around 2000, when high speed internet brought digital pornography into the home of every western couple. Pornography kills the relationship, and women know it. Governments turn a blind eye.

 

Many women prefer to be single and self supporting than to try to relate to a partner with this digital junk in his head. Statistics on male pornography use in the west are astounding. Used in the last month, 86%. In the last week, 46%. In the last day, 25%.

 

So, government response to pornography is an important element, in addition to what you mentioned... no-fault divorce, welfare state, and asset stripping in property settlements.

 

Interestingly, educated young THAI girls notice the way my generation of western women live, and they want the same thing. "I'll never get married"... Several gorgeous Bangkok girls in their 20s have proudly told me this.

 

Does that mean it's time for tax hikes in Thailand?

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.
