"Hello - Doi Suthep - where are you?" cough cough cough
KhunLA replied to connda's topic in Chiang Mai
No prob ... as Bang Saphans, you have to self entertain here. Not like a weekend break, where you enjoy the peace & quiet, sounds of the surf and lazy day relaxing. It's everyday, and that wears on some people. Closest real town to PKK, as you know, with anything, is Hua Hin, 100 kms north, which I'm really not a fan of. From Bang Saphan Noi, Chumphon (90 kms) would be a better option, which I do like very much, even has a swimmable beach, when cooperating. If Ban Krut had a Makro, we would have move there. If daughter not in Bangkok, maybe even Chumphon, but prefer PKK, as less than 4 hours from her. -
So I should have not eaten half my intake today or yesterday 😂 I don't think so, can't live on air & water. Besides, the meat & cheese, helps with the digestion of the bread/carbs. What, when & how you eat things together makes a difference in your insulin resistance. An example of that: https://www.facebook.com/reel/792498645582827

I'm finally quiting baked beans, price is ridiculous
KhunLA replied to scubascuba3's topic in Western Food in Thailand
I quit buying tins of beans long time ago, though not the biggest fan of. Now just buy the dried beans and make our own. With all the beans we cook, mostly soybeans (natto), and black eye beans, you think she would want a pressure cooler ... nope. @scubascuba3 Butter, buy by 5 kg box, much cheaper, and cheese, also bulk, though only mozzarella & parmesan (healthier), cut out the American & cheddar. Less on the cheeses, as don't make as many pizzas at home as use to. -
I agree to that, to some extent. It burns calories, but not enough for the effort, in my opinion. Aerobic will boost you metabolism, and that sticks with for a while, I think. I lost a lot, with just 20 mins bike riding (stationary) more if not. and only 5-10 minutes floor exercises, more for back than anything, stomach crunches & back stretching. Throw in a couple 'walking the dog', and not really something I'd call exercise, except the 'bike' Don't use the bikes much now. Add intermittent fasting, and it's a game changer. For me, that's 2100 hrs till 1200 hrs the next day, so half while sleeping, if I could get 8 hrs sleep, and more like 6. Wake up, at sunrise, morning coffee, Read internet, troll AN, stay busy till around 1000-1100, walk dog, <1 km. Then first meal. Today; roast beef sandwich, sauerkraut, natto, kefir, till full. Next meal will be around 1700 hrs, since first was full up. Snack later on, maybe 1900-2000 hrs, as I can't sleep on an empty stomach. May or may not be a pastry & coffee in there somewhere, as there was yesterday, since first meal was lite, just scrambled eggs & toast. Dinner was lite, tomato, mozzarella cheese, lettuce sandwich. And orang & papaya later on, as got the munchies smoking a doobie. No real exercise, heavy or lite munching (depending on mood), and intermittent fasting, seems to work for me. I was 100kg, now 74, same weight as when getting out of US Army boot camp. Stomach not as flat though, as loss some upper body muscle over the years. Cutting most of the sugar & carbs of the past, helps a lot, since no longer that active, and the sugar & carbs gets burned off when active, instead of turning to fat. Need to do one or other, cut it out, or be a lot more active.

Air Pollution Spurs Lung Cancer Spike in Northern Thailand
KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yea, but could he 'see' the air ... @ 27:27 of the vid He shows PM2.5 meter at 250 ish, @ 27:57 of vid and y'all are breaking 300 & 400 during the day. Time to move, seriously. You're killing youselves. -
I like him, as he shook up the deep state, and exposed the swamp for what it is, along with MSM. I don't want him as President again. Might be better than Dem candidate for the USA, but not me and the exchange rate & COLA. Might mean loosing 25% on the exchange rate, and 50+% on COLA. NO THANKS Voting for Biden, if he gets the nod, will probably mean a Harris presidency also, before 2028. Even scarier for the USA & world, but great for me.

"Hello - Doi Suthep - where are you?" cough cough cough
KhunLA replied to connda's topic in Chiang Mai
Not necessarily concerned about just cancer, but it's the PM2.5 &10 that are deposited on your lung tissue, lower & upper. Possibly causing a bunch of problems, when expose long term: heart disease asthma low birth weight COPD A strong immune system can't fight everything. Or anything, without the proper tools, like sufficient oxygen. -
Sponsor funded / $$$ for product exposure. When people stop watching, they'll stop sponsoring, and it will come to a grinding halt. On a small scale of what happens when sponsors pull out or downsize contribution, the Hua Hin Jazz Festival used to be excellent, Heineken sponsored (largest), and then came the 'no alcohol advertising'. Now the HHJf is 25% of what it used to be (4 stages vs 1 now) & sucks in comparison.

Notice today you got a few 3 & 400s showing 😲 That's mind boggling, beside totally F'd up -
Every night almost, while walking the dog, I'm thinking ... "hmm, might rain tonight" ... but nothing. Waiting impatiently for some of that rain Come on already

It's all about the money, and can't see a 'trans' sport organization being profitable. If the trans keep competing in Woman's Sport, that will soon become unprofitable, as fans want to see woman competing against women. Along with with younger woman, will soon develop a 'why bother' attitude, as knowing they simple can't compete against men. Losing competitors to attrition. After a few more years, then they can simply rename the non existent "Woman's Sports" to "Trans Sport", until it goes belly up.

KhunLA replied to connda's topic in Chiang Mai
I never really appreciated how clean the air is in USA, especially since they use to talk about the USA's pollution on the news Talk about fear mongering with no substance. Moving to TH can be very hazardous to your health ... or ... beneficial Choose your location wisely, and can actually keep around 100+/- a couple months during smog season, although PM2.5 is usually too high, but ... vs .... pure HELL -
Don't use wheat flour.

I rarely use either, and usually only if making a sauce or marinade with them, which is really rare. For spicy, I use powdered Cayenne pepper. For salt flavor, well, just salt. I eliminated all 'added' sugar, and don't even put it in my bread. Knowing I get plenty with my pastries or ice cream. I prefer a little honey as a sweetener anyway.

Interesting that some of the 'new car' manufactures are outselling manufacturers that have been around for decades.

I can't go all keto, but was surprised when peeking at what is Keto-ish foods, and most I like and are available. List of for me, as I omitted the one's I don't eat, or not really available in TH, or where I live. I still need my pastry & bread, so all Keto just wouldn't work for me.

Extended Songkran Festival Set to Boost Tourism Revenue
KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Same every year. They need to move the 'Water Festival', to June or July, some month in rainy season that doesn't have a major holiday. Start celebrating Songkran, the traditional way, before it turned into an embarrassing drunken water festival. -
Fears of discrimination in Thailand despite looming same sex marriage bill
KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
More fear mongering. Gays have been tolerated/accepted in TH way more and longer than most countries. Getting married is just another step of realization, and a way for the ignorant folks to finally take the blinders off. Live & let live Like GOD, gays always have been here, and always will be. Just accept it.- 105 replies

Eat less, burn more, while taking in the proper nutrients. Not exactly rocket science

Hua Hin faces water rationing amidst severe drought
KhunLA replied to webfact's topic in Hua Hin and Cha-Am News
Hour south of HH, and why we make sure our storage tanks (8) are always topped up before the yearly 'drought time' / water shortage warnings ... JIC Everyone should have at least 1 tank. Along with a very basic solar back up, if only 3kwh system w/small battery. Or an EV you can plug your frig and a fan into. Simple, inexpensive preps for living in 3rd world country. -
Dune 2 available. Although I gave up after an hour, as less interesting to me than the first one, which I did manage to finish. I even smoked a doobie, but it didn't help.
