  1. How could she drown in the sand? That makes no sense. She must have finished her swim, and then walked up on the beach, after which she keeled over, face first. This is the only scenario which seems logical to me. It's so surprising that one can just be walking or swimming along, one moment, and then 50-minutes later become lifeless. Yet, this can happen unexpectedly to any one of us. Life is so uncertain; it seems to me. This is why I am always prepared for death, at any moment. And, I try to keep my affairs in order, even the illicit ones.
  2. The world economy, before the Wright Brothers, was quite good. I am only asking for a quality of life we once enjoyed before the advent of air travel. This does not mean that we cannot have cruise ships and ocean liners, replacing air travel, of course.
  3. Thank you for reading and replying to my Topics. I very much appreciate reading your thoughts, from time to time. You have a different, but equally important, perspective from mine, quite obviously.
  4. Thank you for stating the OBVIOUS!!!!! Yes. I agree. Close the airports....except for emergency and military aircraft, both in and out of Thailand. Doing this will be the true answer to my prayers. If this is done, I will be happy as a clam in Thailand. (By the way: I think it's now completely expected that pandemics will continue to be on the rise, from now on, due to destruction of natural habitats, and other effects related to Global Warming... Not to mention increased air travel, and the further encroachment of humans into wildlife areas.)
  5. I agree. I think spiders are more plentiful than ticks here in this area. I can't say if I have ever been bitten by a spider.
  6. If you can't get the tea you want off the shelves in your location, then might I suggest ordering directly from a good tea supplier in SiChuan. The reasons are: a. Black tea from China is better than anything you will find with a Lipton label. b. Ordering from SiChuan is so much cheaper! c. You can buy loose tea and tea bags, equally easily. d. Quality is wonderful. Normally, I just buy enough tea in one order to last over 12 months. Then, I store in the refrigerator, before opening, and after opening each 250 gram box with foil inside pack. I prefer Chinese tea, anyway. But, the black tea from China is very similar to western tea bags....except superior. (Or, just order from Taiwan. Taiwan tea, I believe, is better quality, but quite a bit more expensive. I think no need for me.)
  7. Dear Folks, I just came across this fantastic vid from CNA Insider which touches and sheds light on this important evolution happening in America, and presumably elsewhere in the west. What are your thoughts concerning this new trend? Are Passport Bros good for Asia? Or, might there be more negative consequences which outweigh the positive? Please do not blame me...though...because... I first came to Asia in order to soak up Chinese culture and further my education..in many areas. I am very satisfied with the education I received in all the East Asian countries I visited. I would say that SE Asia, however, has been a very mixed bag for me. Probably this is due to the fact that I am a serious person, and upright relatively...compared to the average Passport Bro. This video is truly fascinating. This transformation will affect our new world, one which I am not sure that I wish to be a part of. Upon watching this video, my plan is to withdraw into hermithood, even more deeply than in the past. My only social outlet, in the future, I imagine, will become my participation on TV.... Looking forward to my new life here. Thank you. Best regards, Gamma
  8. The year....2013. That was the year I became a solitary human being. BEST decision...EVER. Living alone is BEST. Believe me. (Then, it's OK to have anyone come visit, but ONLY when you feel like it.)
  9. I am unable to go to bed earlier than 5AM, or risk shirking my obligations, such as posting Topics on TV. Then, I must wake up at 10AM, or risk getting "off-schedule". It's a hard life I lead. But, throughout Mankind's existence, life has never been easy for us humans.
  10. Unfortunately, you neglected to provide the geographical coordinates of your house and hospital.
  11. I know the rules. However, this is only for resting BP measurement, which is...probably...of limited value. Probably best to take BP under real-world conditions. For this, you will need a device that measures BP every few minutes of the day. This way, one can create a true record of what is taking place over a 24 or 48-hour period. I think those in-home devices, the electronic ones....are GARBAGE. Just more GARBAGE to add to landfills for the economic wellbeing of society. Anyway, why not just go have a stress test...today..... Enjoy.
  12. I already TOLD you. Doctors are NOT scientists. Please do not say that the fault is with science. Doctors do NOT practice the scientific method, and are totally NOT scientists. Doctors are ARTISTS....a little dab here, and another dab there.
  13. I have no time to give the likes of you any old course..... But, just so that do not leave you with NOTHING....then....first read this from the AI...and then do your own research...since you....obviously.... NEED to do more research. Also, please do not ask STUPID questions if you do not wish to receive obvious replies. Thank you.
  14. Wow, Man..... Do I REALLY need to give you an entire course.....in just one comment? Why not just do your own research, yourself....or.....just.... Go back to school..... PLEASE!
  15. No...because....my heart bleeds for Jeff. I, in fact, have always swooned for Beck. Here is why: Jeff's humility is only rivaled by Jimi's in your face. Every time I hear Beck, my BP goes wild.
  16. I find it ridiculous that you don't know that BP changes due to environmental conditions...that's all.... If you don't know what I am talking about...then.... That is ridiculous, as well.
  17. If you want to have a stimulating conversation with a B-Girl...then.... Always best to talk to her muff.
  18. This is a garbage statement because: It is the setting, and other environmental variables, that affect BP most. And, there is NO FING WAY that you can validate one of these machines based on one or two observations. This is so ridiculous to even be funny. If I need to explain it to you....then...why?
  19. WTF? It's IMPOSSIBLE that they would give the same result..... Why? Because the results are always changing. Can't you understand? When you stand up, your BP changes. When you sit down, you BP changes. When you hear a noise, your BP changes. When you think a thought, your BP changes. Therefore,.....you should be able to understand what I am saying.... Right? or If not, then no worries.
  20. Which, as you must realize, is.... Meaningless. a. Two doctors' offices (means diddly-squat). b. The ones at the hospital have not been tested, either. So then, what are you trying to say? Haha....no worries....
  21. I have some suspicion that these types of BP monitors are INACCURATE. Whether or not I am correct, depends upon which study you read...maybe.... https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4889144/ I think more research is warranted before I decide on what type of device to rely on. I still love the old mercury models, though!!!
  22. Where is the place to by this machine for the lowest price in Thailand? Normally, I like to use the traditional mercury type, but now expensive..and, they do not provide the mercury like the good old days. Is this really as accurate? Somehow, I doubt it. Also, the sound of the machine makes my blood pressure rise. So, I would need one without sound. OR, what about the same brand but with a stethoscope and cuff? Minus the mercury, unfortunately.
  23. Either profound or....maybe... Golden.
