Graham: The things you do for your country.

Zelenskyy: Thank you very much for your coming. Thank you very much. Thanks United States, people of the United States for all big support, President Biden, bipartisan support, Congress, and (inaudible) thank you so much.

Graham: Bipartisan support.

Zelenskyy: Yes, it's very important, so we appreciate for... We know that from (inaudible) we have total support. It's $38 billion, and big, big support. Very important.

Graham: It's the best money we've ever spent.

Zelenskyy: Free or die.

Graham: Free or die.

Zelenskyy: Now you are free.

Graham: Yes.

Zelenskyy: And we will be.

Graham: And the Russians are dying.

Zelenskyy: Yes, but they came to our territory.

Graham: Yeah.

Zelenskyy: We are not fighting on their territory.

 

 

That has nothing to do with what you claimed!

I can read what other people say, but you cannot backup what you said. Your sole purpose is to twist posts to make your narrative more believable and I'm afraid you have failed big time! This is my last post on this subject, you have been proven to have lied time after time but you are so disingenuous you just won't admit it!

They have openly stated that degrading Russia economically and militarily is the goal and that Ukrainian losses are well worth the price !

quite disgusting really.

And sometimes there is no free delivery on one item but if you buy three items you get free delivery. Ordered an item that cost 16 baht, total of 54 baht with delivery fee. Upped the order to three items for free delivery for a total of 48 baht. Three items for 6 baht less than one item.

Yes that happened to me, I was going to buy 2 fuel filters for my Honda Brush Cutter for about 80 baht and Lazada stated "buy 1 more and you qualify for free shipping" it cost about 70 baht for 3. 🥴

Some very helpful and interesting replies getting posted here. I have noticed swelling of my knees, so maybe not arthritis after all, could be water on the knees.

A lot of times the item may be offering free shipping but then they might add on the price of the shipping to the item. 😏

Rubbish I said I can't find the video  backing the other half of my claim

you however have not acknowledged that the US defence secretary said

"we want to see Russia weakened"  why not ?

"I can't find the video backing the other half of my claim" How convenient, may be because it doesn't exist.

And I am not questioning you what was not said rather than what was said. You are are 24 carat troll! 

Stop making posts up and you'll avoid posters questioning your lies!

Just now, johng said:

When I find the video you will of course apologise ?

notice you do not reference US secretary of defence statement on weakening Russia  is that a lie too ?

I saw no reference to the statement of which you claimed that "Ukrainian losses are well worth the price !

quite disgusting really.".  You purposely lied because that's what you do!

I am not fabricating my own facts

 

You really are in your own world....

part of my "claim"  is that one aim of the war is to weaken Russia militarily  and economically.

The video  I posted clearly shows that as true  listen to what the US defence secretary said   "we want to see Russia weakened" 

 

 

 

Stop back peddling, you lied!

Does the video I posted say that the goal is to weaken Russia ?

simple question yes or no answer.

 

I'm not a liar,however my memory is not photographic

( to remember website URL's of everything that is supposed to be Googles job)

 

But I do remember seeing said video..

You will of course retract your accusation when I post the video of whomever it was stating that the Ukrainian losses are worth it ?

You claimed something that was not in your link and now you try and worm your way out of it like a disingenuous poster you are, stop fabricating your own facts!

Does it not say that the goal is to weaken Russia in that video ?  why can't you be honest ?

 

I have said that finding the other part of my statement is proving a bit difficult due to memory holing.

I'll find it eventually  with no help from your best friend at Google.

You have to have a good memory to be a good liar, you are suffering from amnesia!

You lied!

I have just tried the rolled up towel method as shown in my YouTube video and there feels to be a marked improvement, fingers crossed. 🤞

It can be very confusing as Lazada will say "free shipping" let's say that the shipping cost is 170 baht they will knock 40 baht off making it 130 baht, slightly duplicitous?

There is no single "knee surgery" but rather a number of different procedures depending on the specific problem.

 

Nothing you have said suggests a current need for any of them.

 

There are also a number of non-surgical treatments  again depending on the exact ptoblem.  treatments. Ant-inflammatory medications, cortisone injections, HA injections, PRP,   physical therapy etc. 

 

You need to see a good ortho  and get the knee examined and possibly Xrayed (not always necessary). You will then have an actual diagnosis and recommendations for management specific to it. 

 

Careful with the experiences of others whose problems may have been entirely different. 

 

And careful with exercises until you have a diagnosis. You could do yourself some harm.

 

Where in Thailand are you located?

Thanks for the reply Sheryl, I am near Sattahip.

I have tried these knee straps and it just makes the knees more painful.🥴

you might get a bit tired reading this summary of arthritis symptoms, treatments , etc

 

but it is a good summary .   probably you will need some help figuring out what is your problem , and then what is best for you ( could always try the get stoned before sleep method first . )

Thanks for the intensive reading material.😱

Walking is not a problem, the problem occurs when I go to a restaurant and I'm seated for an hour or so and decide to stand then the knees lock up for a wee while. I do weighted carries as part of a fitness exercise to stave off dementia and the like. Part of weight training involves squatting with a bar etc and it's just impossible for do this comfortably. So at the moment I'm doing more upper body than lower body and I don't want to end up looking like a funnel. 😉

Bob and Brad have a lot of vids about knee pain. They're good.

Get the kneecap to stay in alignment. Things, esp at our ages, don't have to be 100%. Maybe they can never be, at this point. But just getting a problem under control so that it's basically OK and not getting worse will do.

Thanks or the very helpful advice and as luck would have it my wife has one of those sloping boards, never used it myself though, but having watched that video I'll give it a try. 👍
