  1. Stress reduction is something that all of us might benefit from....(or most of us).... Hopefully, 2024 will be a year of reduced stress.
  2. Far better than weighing oneself biennially, as has been my wont during the past decade.
  3. So...Please do not neglect my second question in this Topic.... What is the best scale on Lazada...IF you, yourself, might have purchased one recently. I will buy tonight....on Lazada...IF I get some valid info here. Thank you.....
  4. I have much trouble doing complicated wiring connections under my many desktop workspaces. Sometimes I must call my young female friend to help pull the wires up and around the legs of my tables. Also, when I get down on the floor to do anything, I find it very difficult to rise again. Often, just getting up off the floor causes me to huff and puff. This is not good. Losing 10 kilos will be all that is needed.
  5. You mean that you think that a scale cannot be a motivating and reinforcing factor in weight loss? I do not know. I have no knowledge or experience. I have never tried to lose weight before. So this is a new endeavor for me. I just realized that now it is more difficult to tie my shoes, and to move around effortlessly, as I once did when I weighed less.
  6. I do not doubt you, but this is not the same environment in which I live. I am just lucky, I guess. Sorry that you must deal with what you describe, however....
  7. Thank the Lord, I now have a wonderful neighbor. Such a godsend. Some old lady that is very friendly and kind and quiet. I could not ask for more!
  8. Do you have any intentions to reform yourself in 2024? Do you have the will? Personally, I intend to become more motivated in order to become less slothful. Also, I might give up celibacy, if I find an excuse. What are your intentions in 2024? Regards, Gamma
  9. You may be correct. But, after watching UTUBE, this now seems difficult to believe...sorry to say.
  10. Hi Folks, I need to lose about 20 pounds. How many stone, I do not know. But, about 8 kilos will do. So, do you think that having a scale helps one to lose body weight? I have never owned a scale, because I never thought I needed one. Years ago, when I was in rowing trim, I weighed about 175 pounds, mostly muscle. Now, I am quite flabby by comparison. I don't know my weight, but I think it might be about 90 to 95 kilos, and much of it is not required by me. a. So, from your experience, does having a scale at home help with weight loss? b. What is the best scale, from your experience, available on Lazada? Here are two scales I saw on WIRECUTTER....but I doubt they are on Lazada. I like a thin scale so that I will not fall off it so easily. And, large numerals, might be good. I might even like the scale to show Roman Numerals, just to keep my brain active in the mornings. Also, I would like a scale that does not need batteries, but uses a photocell, or maybe just generates power using my body weight every time I step on it. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/the-best-bathroom-scales/ I might like to order one on New Years Eve...in fact. Regards, Gamma
  11. For me, livable means no riff-raff in sight in most places. Pristine environment. No police in sight making drug busts. Shared values with me. Etc.... Thailand, at least for me, is all of these. New Hampshire, in the distant past, was this, as well.
  12. She certainly looks like she has been through the wringer. And, the washing machine, plus the dryer, as well. Yet, she does not look clean enough for that, I guess. Personally, I think she might do better in China. Maybe the taxpayers in the US should pay for a one-way ticket. There must be work for her there, given her many talents, as well as her sartorial sense.
  13. This is really no laughing matter. As one ages, the smell of fear rears its ugly head in the weirdest ways. These days, what are your newfound fears? Your greatest worries, now that you are at a certain age? Besides your fear of death, in case you might have such a fear, which I do not, what are the things your fear most, hierarchically speaking? Fear can be debilitating, as well. How do you cope with your fears. Do you practice denial, for example? What are your best strategies to continue to move forward when anxiety pulls you back? So, ranked top to bottom, your fears are? Even OJ Simpson was not immune to fear, one presumes.... Ganmna
  14. If you want safe, then move to Japan. I am always extremely careful when walking anywhere outside my front gate. I have never operated any kind of vehicle in Thailand. For that, I just use my same driver, and never even use Grab because I cannot predict the driving skill of Grab. I am lucky to have used the same driver for about 7 years, and so I rarely need to postpone an excursion due to my driver being too busy for me. It's probably unwise to get drunk and walk at night, simultaneously. Maybe get one of those hats with a reflective coating would be useful. Anyway, I only worry about getting hit by a car when I am outside my house.
  15. Yes. Beautiful area. Enjoyed the videos. But, what are those on the sand? Beanbag chairs? First I have seen this. They never use these in East Lyme, CT.
  16. I used to have a chromium plated model 1911. But that was just a popgun compared to my .357 magnum, or my Weatherby .460 magnum wild buffalo gun. The finish on the Weatherby stock was to die for.
  17. Maybe, also, this is the result of defunding the State Mental Institutions in the USA?
  18. People vote, yes. However, are there choices to vote for? Or, are all choices offered basically just the same single choice?
  19. This is about the most shocking thing I have seen in my lifetime. How long can it last without a major backlash, I wonder? This seems even worse than the Great Depression years. If this is true, then I will never return to the US, obviously. Even if one has a nice home, how can one enjoy life when this tragedy is all about one? Really, this entire situation seems so unbelievable, even though, apparently, true.
  20. The only barrier standing in my way is lack of sufficient funding.
