Dear Folks, I have a bad tooth infection, and I know I need this tooth, one which has already had root-canal therapy, extracted....ASAP. But, The Question IS: Do you think I am high on Amoxicillin? And, is it even possible to get HIGH on Penicillin? Personally, I think it is. I am feeling a bit spacey, even more spaced-out than usual. My pain is flowing away, though, and so I do not care much. Or, maybe it is this incessant rain, recently, and especially this evening....that makes me feel out of touch with reality. So.... If you take ENOUGH Amoxicillin, can this cause one to experience a Break with Reality? Also, I wonder: How much Amoxy is just too much Amoxy? Fortunately, I have a dynamite dentist, and therefore soon I will be weaned off these antibiotics....before....I become addicted.....maybe. Lastly, I will tell you.... No matter how bad the pain gets....I never take anything stronger than Ibuprofen, something which I have always found works rather well. I have never enjoyed dental pain, and I guess many of you might feel as do I. I feel sorry for those who have not the means to seek out good dental care....because.... I am blessed to have one of the best dentists here in Thailand, compared to others in Taiwan, that I have ever had. Also, they are super nice.....my dentists and my office receptionists. Yes. I am high. But, I am not HIGH on Amoxy. I think I might be a little high on PAIN.....! Pain, for me, has always been one of the most potent aphrodisiacs. Both pain and Afros. My best adivce to all young people is to take care of your teeth. And, avoid sugar, both for dental health and also in order to avoid Afrosclerosis. Best regards, Gamma Note: If you might have any Dental-Pain stories to tell.... Here is the place. I love hearing others' dental-pain stories, when I am feeling dental pain, just as a very welcome distraction from my own pain. Thank you!

Well....if you appreciated that response...let me give you another response.....OK? I recently purchased the A55 5G. On paper, the specs look super-good (for the money).... And, the price is OK if you buy it in Thailand....and I forget what I paid, but you can check-out the most recent pricing from Samsung, in Thailand. The phone that I bought is this configuration: I do not like Android 14, or at least the Samsung garbage version on this phone. However.... This phone has a lot of plusses, such as the microSD, the 12GB of RAM, and the 256GB of internal storage. Would I buy it again? YES, I definitely would. ======== However, the negatives include what I consider to be much poorer volume than my NOTE4. Also, I still like my NOTE4 better, just from the perspective of the feel of it and the functioning of it. The NOTE4 was an amazing phone for its time. ========= I have no idea what you might choose to do....but..... I like this phone that I purchased a few weeks ago. Especially, I like the 12GB of RAM and the 256GB of internal memory. The only question is.....where to buy it at the cheapest price...... Amazon, as far as I could see, weeks ago, was cheaper. =============== I need a case for this phone...however....since.... This phone is very slippery. No doubt, I will drop it soon, unless I get my ordered case...PDQ......!! ========== I do not like the inferior responsiveness of the touch screen on this phone, compared to my old NOTE4.... Or, perhaps, this is just my perception, and not really based on reality..... As you know.... I, too, am not reality-based. Good Phone for the money. I would DEF buy it again!

Here is a very strange FACTOID: According to IMDB.... Kathrine Hepburn was originally asked to play the part of Hana_Ogi.....!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, she turned down the part. Instead, luckily, Miiko Taka was chosen to play Hana Ogi. She was perfect for the part. BUT, IF Kate Hepburn had been chosen to play the part of Hana Ogi in Sayonara.... Then, I think it would have been equally good to have Godzilla play Hana Ogi..... I guess we all recall Kate Hepburn in The Good Earth, trying to play a Chinese Woman....with her fake slanted eye(s). Such a gruesome sight! Such disfigurement !!! So gruesome !!! Godzilla, the Jap Monster, was prettier than she.....!!!!! Sayonara ... Sayonara ... Gamma Goodbye.....

Dear Folks, I love living in the old Thai houses, with hardwood floors. I love them more during the Hot-Dry Season, however. For example, my house has a roof of traditional tiles which leaks unless the rain falls directly down, with zero wind. Even then, sometimes it seems to leak. Have you ever looked up at a roof from the inside? Because, there is really NOTHING there, seemingly, holding up the roof tiles, other than sticks and splinters of wood. Sure, they look fine from the outside. But, from the inside.....there is really almost nothing there. It's like, if these roofs were on houses in Taiwan, with the Typhoons, and SUPER TYPHOONS, typical of Taiwan....then....the would be gone...in a... NEW YORK MINUTE. Why do they build roofs this way in Thailand? Is it because they do not want to use up too much wood from the local jungle, in order to protect the environment? And, also, what to do about a leaking roof, which is probably not even strong enough to hold up a roofing-worker who might dare to clamber above... Just to try to stem the leaks? And also, what is the point of painting a ceiling in one of these houses...since.... After you put a fresh coat of paint on the ceiling, then....its....SURE to be.... Quickly discolored when the leaks from the next Raining Season begin to fall from the roof, onto the ceilings above one's head. So many questions. And, another question: Why not just cover the entire roof with that ZERO-COST plastic material.... Which is discarded from Advertising.... You know the type I am talking about about.... I am talking about the recycling of the PVC or Plastic Giant Advertising sheets that are discarded....like this one.... During the Raining Season, if I had about 10 of these Ad Banners...then I could just throw them up on my leaking roof.... And tie them down... And then ALL would be well. I have seen these used in other 3rd-World countries. But, I doubt that they might go over really well with my neighbors. So then... Is there a different and better solution, one that is almost as low cost? Best regards, Gamma NOTE4: A drip is a drip is a drip......and.....Drips are always worse at night, when one is intent upon falling asleep.

Good Question. NOW....NOW....You are REALLY getting into the SPIRIT of my Topics....! So glad, Sir, to finally welcome you....ONBOARD.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO! I am not here winding up anyone!!!! However, I cannot say that my AC problems are not a long, WINDING, and convoluted tale of woe....for sure...and NOT....maybe!!!!

Yes. Please do update us on this.

THANKS!!!!!!

I predicted you would say something like this, even before you had read this Topic.

Tramadol is an INSIDIOUS drug. Tramadol, due to its dual action, seems to be able to cause problems of addiction and dependency, far worse than just a traditional opioid. In other words, Tramadol might add on the complications similar to a benzodiazepine addiction. Let's keep in mind, for example, what happened to that prof from Canada, Peterson. It might be OK to take Tramadol for up to a week, post op, for example. However, this is a drug which is not OK for daily use, unless one might be in an end-of-life disease situation. IMHO....only....

Dear Folks, I am tired of buying garbage produced in third-world countries. I want to buy the quality of AC that I always enjoyed so much in Japan. I have heard of others that have stopped garbage-binging on low quality AC imports sold somewhere around here. Why can't I just ONCE AGAIN have the honest pleasure of using HIGH QUALITY electronics and home appliances, just like I used to use in Kyoto and Tokyo? Therefore....HOW-TO.... How does one go about importing one or two ACs, for starters, to this market? This is really a question for anyone interested...and...anyone who might know a thing about dealing with... a. Local customs brokers b. Logistics c. Other hurdles that might be encountered during the import/export process. I used to export and import while in another country. It was easy because.... That country was all about IMPORT/EXPORT An average size order might be USD500,000. But now, with an AC, we're talking only about USD2000.00, or less. I am SICK and tired of the garbage products and the garbage after-sales service, provided, very often, by incompetents who are fresh off the sugar plantations. There must be a better way to buy the consumer electronics and household equipment that we all need, but hate to buy here. So... I must find a way. What do you think? Do you have any pointers about importing stuff like large home appliances? And, I only buy premium ACs and other similar items. Thanks so much! Best regards, Gamma-in-Paradise (Paradise, except for my local purchasing problems,.....that is.)

You might listen to one of Lustig's better vids, with more of the chemistry discussed...which I am unable to find at the moment....

Nice tree.

OK. Sounds like a good adventure.

General euthanasia would be worse, if offered to the general public.

Nice. Will keep in mind!

How fast could it possibly grow...in CM environment, if given Tinder loving care?

Truly... That is a piece of beautiful landscaping. Congrats!!!!

SAYONARA!!!!! JAPANESE GOOD BYE..... The QUESTION IS: Would you even off yourself if the US Gov told you that you could not cohabit with your favorite Asian GF? Here is a film that I have always loved, mostly due to the great scenes from 1957 Japan. I guess you know this film.....which you cannot find on YT, as far as I know.... https://ok.ru/video/1306946374342 Anyway, there are SNIPPETS on YouTube, such as this one: I do not know if you have lived in Japan, beginning in 1970, as have I. All I can say is.... Japan, before the late 70s, was just so much better than anything you will ever know, or hope to know......for all time....and... FOREVER. Japan has lost too much of its original culture and flavor. Where did it go? Maybe buried under CONCRETE due to the gov's penchant for building and burying everything under concrete. Yokohama was once wonderful.... A place where you could get great noodles, on the cheap, almost in every shop. So Solly that those great days of Japanese culture are now never to return. I could say a lot more about living in Japan, in the year 1971, but I do not have the time, at the moment. It was great, however. So, concerning Michener's Movie.... Do you think it reasonable that Red Buttons would off himself, just for an Asian woman? Personally, I do not. Why would one, anyway? Just a question, begged by the film...is all. Best regards, Gamma Note2: I have always loved this song, and always will....but you might not..... This song, like Marlon, always brings a tear to my eye. Hope this never happens to you...... Sayonara......Gamma....Bye....

Look to yourself, Sir, for your continuing uplifting content, posted here. I take no responsibility for what you write.

It's possible to even get tattooed internally. I have heard of one interesting case where some guy had his duodenum tattooed with an image of his Ex-GF's left breast. Have no idea why, however.

It's possible. Even girls have their eyebrows tattooed, to great effect.

Why not find a place that offers general anesthesia? Also, why stop at two hands? Speaking of "hands".... Do you recall the sad tale of.... MR. HANDS? Why not get a horse tattoo, too... For that matter. In addition: Why stop at just an average horse tattoo? Certainly, you deserve something more, like an image of an erect stallion.

Why not just do what I do: Eat at the uni cafeteria. Most dishes are Bt.25 per dish. No tax. No hidden costs. And, very good food. Plus... You can look at the girls, or they might look at you. Also, a very relaxed atmosphere with super friendly people all about you. There is no better dining bargain than this, ... IMHO.... Give it a try. Not sure about the girls at Chula, though....

Dear Folks, I have a lawn that needs some shade from tall trees. If I were younger, then almost any old tree might do. However, at my present age, I realize that if I plant an average tree, any old tree, most will not grow tall enough before I am underground moldering, just food for the trees, myself. This is why I need to go out and plant some seedlings which will grow super fast, with proper care and fertilizer. What might be the best and fastest growing tree I could plant, for the Chiang Mai climate? Any ideas? I would plant fruit trees if I were ten years younger, of course. But, I let this project go...for too long, now....and now I am almost out of time. I know that there must be super-fast-growing trees, what will all the new genetic-engineering of things like corn, for example. So then, in terms of trees, are there any newly created GMO-trees that will grow about three times faster than natural trees? I am NOT interested in anything NATURAL, if natural means growing slow. I do not intend to EAT the trees, so GMO-trees seems right for me...if... They will just grow....SUPER-Fast. I do not intend to start from seeds. I will buy some saplings, or what do you call them..... Not saplings. I meant seedlings..... Thanks for any advised advice. Best, Gamma NOTE4: I did not mean to say that I would not also be willing to buy saplings, rather than just seedlings. But, with such a fast growing tree species, I figure that seedlings might be cheaper than saplings, and still reach about the same height within approximately the same period of time.... 18 months to two years.
