Which is worse? Gender Dysphoria or Schizophrenia Answer: Schizophrenia There is no easy surgical solution for schizophrenia.

The grass is not always greener on the other side, the wild side? And, the colored girls go.... Lou Reed!

Tinnitus, much, yet?

Should have nipped it in the bud, before letting things go too long.

Fashion/form should, ideally, follow function.

Abbreviation vs. Acronym vs. Initialism: Thank you.

This reminds me so much of the strange case of Phineas P. Gage (1823-1860). Such an interesting case study, for sure!

Like you, I would not venture outside the house in anything less than trousers and an Oxford cloth button down, blue, white, mint, or pink. Mostly blue, though.

As with Nature and Biology, fashion-form should, ideally, follow function. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. Fashion is too-often ruled by convention, and not by function.

Cool!!!

Something like this is just not right. Entirely unsuitable.

Underwear? No need unless one is wearing a cashmere wool suit and tie.

Please note, as well: As we age, the less flexibility we seem to have. Perhaps this is why old men prefer wrap-around garments, instead of shorts. It's just not as easy as it once was to stand on one leg and put one's foot through trousers or shorts. If you are not as old as I, then you have no idea....!

Dear Friends, As most of you know, I, like many other farang here in Thailand, enjoy walking around my house without too much restricting clothing. In summer months, normally I just use a towel tied casually around my waist, if that. I am not unlike many YouTubers I have heard from who, similarly, enjoy walking around, inside their homes, without a stitch on, especially when the temps get high. Sometimes, when I need to venture forth into my kitchen or living room, then I just easily cover myself with a towel. Wearing clothes during the Hot Season is really just too uncomfortable. Wearing shorts, even, gives me a rash around the waist, and even in the crotch. This is why, during the Hot Season and the Raining Season, I prefer to go commando in my study and in my bedroom areas, and then just don a towel in the living room and in the kitchen while cooking. Now, however, the Cold Season is upon us, and the Cold Season, this year, seems likely to be colder than last year, and maybe even as cold as the Cold Season of 2013/2014, if you recall that winter. It was super cold, and the cold winds from China were often strong. This is why I am hoping to buy a few kilts, heavier wooly ones for the Cold Season, and a few lightweight wooly kilts for the Raining Season. As far as I can tell, nobody on ThaiVisa has yet posted this question concerning where to buy kilts, what might be the best kilts for use in Thailand, and what might they cost? One more thing: As men age and become old, it really is true that most men prefer to not wear clothes, too much. And then, these same old men take to wandering around in their pajama bottoms, or underwear. Why this is, I do not know. However, I guess it might be because aging causes the skin to become thinner, which, in turn, may cause old men to become more sensitive to tight-fitting clothing. There could be a multiplicity of reasons for the simple fact that old men prefer to not wear much clothing. It seems to me that an old man in a kilt looks far handsomer, and less of an eyesore, while wearing a kilt, rather than just wearing any old underpants, something we see far too often. This winter, I would like to have two or three kilts, easily washable. Probably it is too much to expect that I can find premium quality wool quilts. Any advice about this? What kind of wrap-around do you wear? So many women love their skirts. Men, on the other hand, have few options. It’s just not fair. Regards, Gamma

In addition to the constant use of uptalk, the overuse of "like" is also a plague upon us, like. I was expecting you to say acronym, like. But you said anacronym, like. Like, LSD is not an anacronym, like. Is it? Lysergic acid diethylamide is a compound very well known, and not so obscure. It's not only commonly known, but, also, folklore. Therefore, like, I would say acronym in this case. Anyway, please just give me a like, like.

Unfortunately, most people here have never experienced the difference. Unfortunately, most people here are satisfied with synthetic fiber clothing and bedding from China. (But it is garbage.) If people don't know any better, then one can't really blame them. They are not stupid people. They are just inexperienced people. I don't know how Thai students tolerate their synthetic-fiber uniforms in the sweltering heat of the Thai classroom. I feel sorry for them.

It is still in good shape because these blankets are excellent quality, and very comfortable. I used to have many. Unfortunately, I left them in the USA decades ago. I will be surprised if I can find one of the same quality and type for sale, HERE, in Thailand. I don't want to buy online. (Of course, I know that they are available online from various online retail stores. But, I don't want to pay the international shipping costs, nor endure the frustration.) Also, regarding blankets on Alibaba, the products listed in the comment somewhere above show a minimum order of up to 5000 units. I don't want a 20-foot container of blankets. I just want one or two good quality blankets, 100 percent sheep's wool, same size as Army/Navy surplus blankets, same weight, maybe about 8 pounds. Re: Synthetic Fiber for Wool... Synthetic Fiber clothing and bedding is GARBAGE. GARBAGE. Most of what is coming out of China is GARBAGE. Even when the Chinese CCP says it is natural fiber, NOBODY trusts the Communist Party of China. anymore. Nobody.

What an amazingly good idea! Cotton is comfortable, and if one has enough layers of cotton, then this is excellent for Thailand winters. In most cases, I just sleep with up to six or eight 100-percent cotton sheets on top, and the recent winters have not required more. Still, sheep's-wool blankets are extremely comfortable. I just can't find one in Thailand. There are plenty available on Amazon, such as this one: 8 Pounds; 100 Percent Wool; Nice Olive Green Color PRICE ON AMAZON: Approximately Bt.2800.00 These blankets last a long time. (Still, very good idea about sewing cotton quilts together to make them thick enough.)

True. Those blankets from China in the link are wool. But, what kind of wool? Synthetic fiber wool. When I stated wool, I meant fiber obtained from sheep, or other mammals like alpaca, etc.

Yes. It seems that you are correct that the real deal is difficult to find. Good suggestion about checking the local army bases. However, since Thailand is a tropical country, one might doubt that the army surplus blankets might be the same in Thailand as the army surplus blankets once available in the US. (Those blankets were probably surplus from the Korean war or something. Amazingly good quality.)

Some sleepers are not able to tolerate synthetic-fiber clothing/bedding. Wool is comfortable, lightweight and warm. I'm not picky about types of wool, although some types are better than others for blankets. But, I would prefer alpaca or merino wool, 100 percent. Do you know where to buy in Thailand?

Some sleepers find the modern down duvet to be extremely uncomfortable. Each to his own. Give me a wool blanket on any cold night, please. But, where to buy? That is the question.

Where can one buy wool blankets similar to the typical US Army/Navy Blankets? Such blankets are usually between 70% and 80% wool, and washable. Alternatively, British Army Blankets would suffice, and might be better. Such blankets are easily available online at places like Amazon: (Arcturus Military Wool Blanket - 4.5 lbs, Warm, Thick, Washable, Large 64" x 88" ) However, where can the same quality be sourced in Thailand without buying from Amazon? No doubt, with the cooler temperatures soon to be upon us, this information might be timely. for more than a few. Thank you.

If it's perfection you seek, then, There is nothing more perfect than the ideal Sterling Engine, As you know. Those who can spell, call it the Stirling.

Honestly speaking, I am not quite sure how I ended up in the Motorhead Forum. I mean, I have never really been all that interested in motors. Except, maybe, I am interested in the Sterling Engine... Just hope I can find my way....home...... The Motorhead Forum is not one I would have chosen, myself. Anyway, please watch this Sterling Engine while listening to Rolling Stones' HOT STUFF... My best advice.
