Is methenamine (Hiprex) available in Thailand
Mark Nothing replied to simon43's topic in Health and Medicine
I conducted experiments in my toilet bowl by not flushing and the unpleasant aroma gets worse and worse each day. Could the foul smelling fishy odor you experience simply be a reaction to the water in the toilet bowl from metal pipes sediment and chemicals added to water by water company? If you are asymptomatic other then that you may be concerned over nothing. -
Controversy erupts as Thai doctors clash over mRNA vaccine effect
Mark Nothing replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
I am antivax. Common sense dictates the theories they are following require reevaluating. -
E-Bay and PayPal have gone from Bad to Worse to Horrible....
Mark Nothing replied to redwood1's topic in General Topics
To avoid this problem I set up a bangkok bank credit card and it is mostly problem free on ebay orders delivered to the location of my choosing. One of my buddies back home runs a 2nd hand shop from closing out estates and does an average of 50 daily sells on ebay. He said he finally had to discontinue selling to anyone overseas as so many problems getting burned by customers receiving orders and then claiming nonreceipt. Maybe this is one of the causes of additional safeguards ebay has implemented. I order about 30 ebay items per year for 20 years. -
Meniscus repair or Total Knee Replacement
Mark Nothing replied to touch's topic in Health and Medicine
The medical term for urine is plasma ultrafiltrate. I have never done plasma injections as filling a glass and applying directly on the skin by hand is simpler plus free. The skin varaciously absorbs the panacea going where required. A few years ago, I began daily rub downs of my entire body with plasma ultrafiltrate, enhanced further with a prayer for a fully functioning, healthy body and the results were excellent. Strength, balance, and muscle tone returned. The nuisance aches and pains of old age dissappeared. The unpleasant morning stiffness also dissappeared. A counterintuitive aspect of this is nobody complains of offensive body odor to me. God designed plasma ultrafiltrate for people, not concrete alleys. Lots of my contacts have had knee replacements and I would consider this an option of last resort due to months of recovery, the gruesome looking scar, the rehab nuisance, and one had a stroke shortly after knee replacement surgery requiring brain surgery and 2 weeks in intensive care unit. -
How do you react to Thais who do not respond to greetings?
Mark Nothing replied to zhounan's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
You have committed a social faux pas. They interpret your cordial, pleasant greetings as offensive behavior. You are not on the same pecking order as them, in their eyes and cultural hierachical rules, and you have no right to interact with them, as they are "superior". Far cry from the land of smiles facade isn't it? Only the possibility of a payday will temporarily trump the thai hierachical rules which has ensnared so many. Develop a thick skin. I ignore them completely as if they don't exist and eventually they won't.- 156 replies

My condo walls have cracks just like yours. The solution I used to hide the internal wall cracks was a paintable fiber mesh wallpaper after filling in the cracks with putty. It looks much better. But some of the cracks were still visible so hid them with framed paintings or large mirrors. Then just learned to live with it. Better but not perfect.

I adjusted strategy after watching all the knee and hip replacements required from friends who overdid the exercise rather then throwing in the towel. An interesting anomoly is understanding the component parts of your physical makeup which is actually under the control of your mental realm and using it to your advantage. The physical benefits of switching to a mental focus will reap great rewards in health and vitality. Physical exercise pales in importance compared to tapping into divine power to stay healthy. Start with a daily prayer. It takes 10 seconds. But is very powerful at producing the results you desire.

Act in haste, repent in leisure. Great way to burn millions of baht and sit on an unsellable albatrose. You will get tired of watching your condo depreciate faster than your automobile. And you will be taking on the added hassle of maintaining everything in the condo. Rent. Make your life the pursuit of pleasure not pain.

The court requires a guarantee deposit or bail money to exit jail to wait for trial which can take many months, or years even. It appears the bail/lawyer costs was 700,000 baht. The alleged perpetrator also requires a court order signed by a judge to depart country for Germany. A good excuse is required. The German mentioned medical reasons in the article. The letter is presented to immigration at the airport. If he doesn't return for trial the 700,000 bail is forfeited and he will lose his case.

There is nothing new under the sun. One author discussed his findings to your dilemma after marrying over 1,000 women, many of them foreigners. His findings say the predators ensnare their prey via lips as sweet as honey and a mouth smoother than oil, but in the end it is a fate more bitter then death. Over 3,000 years ago The Book of Ecclesiastes 7:26 and Proverbs 5:3 were authored by King Solomon, who said you know God is with you if you can escape her snares. Otherwise you will be susceptible to her balony. Severe all contact. Find a spouse in your own country.

Risk of bursting washing machine water hose?
Mark Nothing replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in DIY Forum
I have never experienced a hose failure on my washing machines here. That's because my housekeeper broke the machines before the hose could fail. A more valid concern is your wife or housekeeper stuffing 5 loads of laundry into one load and breaking your machine or bursting the interior tub. You will get very tired of calling laundry machine repairmen and having to fire your housekeeper after putting all the bedding in one load. I would focus more on that issue. -
I have seen mostly negative affects since marijuana was legalized. A shop opened up next to one of my coffee shops and the workers and clientele look like criminals. Tattos up their necks. Driving beat up cars and motorbikes. Driving wrecklessly knocking over my friends parked motorbike while we were enjoying a coffee. Driver was in a stupor. My condo maintenance boy who has never been any good, doesn't even bother to bring his tools to repair jobs and tried to sell me marijuana instead of fixing my maintenance problem. He probably pawned tools. My regular fruit vendor lady was smoking joints while working, and then she couldn't figure out how to make change or how much her fruit costs. Out of business now. Driving on the roads has always been attrociously bad but now they aim for me while crossing the streets. That is a new phenominon. This legalization has been a big mistake and needs correcting.

The Reality of Existence vs the Hope of Eternity
Mark Nothing replied to Walker88's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
King Solomon, the richest man to ever live with an estimated $2.3 trillion usd net worth in todays dollars, enjoyed every pleasure in life, to the fullest. He had much experience with foreign women and it always turned bitter. He said you know God is with you if you can avoid her snares. If you are devoid of God, you will be ensnared resulting in vexation of spirit, or poisoning of your soul, which will be more bitter than death. Ecclesiastes 7:26. He is talking about the pursuit of power between your body's desires and your soul's. Like a horse and jockey. A good jockey controls the horse. A bad jockey lets the horse be in control. You are letting your body steer you in the wrong direction. There is nothing new under the sun. -
I always go for the simple, easy solution before jumping to complicated measures. I had the dizzyness problem too. You are not a teenager anymore. Slow down, quit rushing around. Count to 5 before standing up out of bed. This solved my dizziness problem and it went away completely. If you are doing a lot of airplane travel vertigo can result too. I used to have the allergy blocked sinus breathing problem at night while trying to sleep. A handful of urine snorted daily in the nostrils returned my breathing to perfectly functioning airways again. Taking the initiative and directing your body to respond to your requests is helpful too. Make health a habit by design. I say daily prayers for a healthy body and strong immune system. The result is a body that responds as directed. Like a drill seargeant directing a new recruit.

How would you describe heaven?
Mark Nothing replied to Chris Daley's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
There is a first hand account of what Heaven is like. The book of Enoch, written by Enoch describes his trip to Heaven at God's invitation. Enoch, born 3,382BC is the 7th generation from the first man Adam, and the Grandfather of Noah. Enoch enjoyed his trip and requested to stay in Heaven, which was approved. Youtube audio books has the Book of Enoch available and it about 4 hours long. -
Why does God >insert your grievance here<....?
Mark Nothing replied to Sunmaster's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
A common theme of the Bible is punishment coming to those who depart from God. Like those who worship money have to spend their whole life chasing it and taking care of all their possessions. Most never realize they are chasing the wind. Or those who worship doctors get taken to the cleaners by insurance, testing, treatments, tablets and have to live in pain with the side affects and fear. When the Bible clearly lays out how to avoid this obstacle. Other gigantic problems like natural disasters and accidents are beyond our scope of comprehension. Maybe it makes us appreciate good times more. Or a future gain comes from a current catastrophe that otherwise would not be possible. -
Thailand to abolish hefty import tariff on wine

The Reality of Existence vs the Hope of Eternity
Mark Nothing replied to Walker88's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
You are two parts. A body and a soul. Learning to nourish your soul housed in your body pays significant dividends. The soul of King David in the Book of Psalms was present on the night of his conception, which means every person is born by intelligent plan. Even one night stands. A body without a soul is a corpse. The soul is alive and contains your emotions, intellect, and potential connection to God, should you wish to turn it on. King David's son, King Solomon in the Book of Ecclesiates reported the beginning of wisdom is reverence for God. The rest is chasing the wind. -
If your objective is the pursuit of pain and low returns then you have found nirvana. Your low rent tenants will feel obligated to destroy your already depreciating property to get full value of rents paid requiring you to pour more money into the deep black abyss of losses. My recommendation would be to drop your proposal and find a new strategy.

Thai student suffers brutal punishment for playing game in computer lab
Mark Nothing replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
He who spares the rod, hates his son. But he who loves him is careful to discipline him. The teacher from Buriram probably has a lot of experience watching homes and farms lost via gambling. The student playing online cards needed to learn an important lesson. This teacher is a hero in my book. -
The fruits you grow on your tree of life tells you if God is present with you or not. You know by the fruit. Is the fruit juicy, sweet and nourishing or toxicly poison, if it even exists at all? If you have battles with strife, jealousy, fits of anger, dissensions, envy, sorcery, idol worship, divisions, drunkeness, orgies, impurity then God's spirit will disappear and eventually it will not exist in you and you have killed your tree of life. The signs God is present in the fruit of your tree of life are kindness, generosity, patience, peace, goodness, modesty, kindness, joy, charity, self control, faithfulness. The spirit you allow into your soul determines the fruit. God works his magic if you open the connection and ask him. Every area of your life will flourish. Otherwise he won't and the results in life will show. Most likely health ailments.

At best drivers here treat pedestrians like an insect in the road. But lately they have been aiming for me. Regularly. I never cross at zebra stripe pedestrian crosswalks if it can be avoided. Half the drivers ignore them. And motorscooters burst through blind spot gaps between cars at high speed. I never cross the street in front of moving vehicles. Wait for them to stop if possible. It has gotten so bad, I say a prayer asking God to keep me safe before venturing out on the roads.

A good way to experience God's power is to use his products to enhance your life. Living water is a panacea that will return your body to perfect health and turn on the connection to God' spirit in your soul. If you knew the gift of God you would have asked, "Give me a drink", and he would have given you living water. John 4:10. Living water will cleanse you of your impurities and all your false idols. It will put a new spirit in your soul and it will take the heart of stone out of your flesh. Ezekial 36 : 25-27. Living water 5 years now. Outstanding results. The inorganic minerals clogging up my body with gout, arthritus, prostate problems, stiff joints all dissappeared. God knows what he is doing. The Bible is full of stories showing the punishment of those who pursue false idols. And it got me thinking that lots of people appear to worship hospitals and pharmaceuticals instead of God. Their punishment is the side affects, costly insurance, never ending treatments. The miracle of Living water has no side affects and has worked on every one of my issues. It is God's gift to those who desire it.
