Should I take statins or not?
I've been taking statins (simvistatin) for 'bout 20 years. Originally had all high numbers, with total cholesterol around 300+. I was running marathons, cycling cross country, eating healthy, so not much lifestyle changes I could have made. I believe it's mostly genetic. With statins (20mg/day) all my numbers are normal. My current diet consists mainly of pizza, KFC, tater chips, donuts and soda. Hardly exercise any more, jog/cycle/weights a few times a week. I get a blood test every 3-4 months and adjust dosage accordingly. Statins are cheap, blood tests are cheap. Why not start with your doctor's recommended dosage for 3 months and see how you respond? Have a lipid panel done every 30 days.

Using dollars in Cambodia is stupid
Why would you do that? Shirley, you'd take your big, handsome, crisp $100 bills to the local market and exchange whatever you estimate you'll need for your visit. Then all your purchases will be with riel, no dollars.

Chinese tourists are returning - but not to Thailand
Cool beans. The national unemployment rate is not 40%, it's about 5%. I'll go on the assumption that anonymous guy who registered for an account and whom's first --- and only --- post is felon gang propaganda is, you know, the thing. Thanks!

This isn't about returning to the USA. He would be going back to Norway, famous for their generous welfare state benefits.

Thailand To Hold Talks with China on Submarine to Frigate Swap
Why does the submarine need an engine? Couldn't they just tie it up next to the aircraft carrier with no aircraft that goes nowhere, or warehouse it along with the blimps that don't hold their helium. Why not exchange the sub for a fleet of chinese weather baroooms able to circumnavigate the globe carrying a ton of erectlonics, and base 'em on the as yet unused flattop? Win-win-win!!!!!!!!!!!!!

overstay problem
Lack of money? Bus to southern border. Visa waiver into Malaysia. Mama noodles for dinner. Bench at bus station. Mama noodles for brekkie. Visa waiver into Thailand Bus to Bangkok. At most a couple thousand baht. Or.........take the overstay, get buddy to fork over 20k for the fine and another 30k for flight home. That frees up 50k for hookers and blow.

overstay problem
Hopefully someone will correct me if this is wrong, but..... If he can get to the airport undetected, he'll pay a fine, get banned, and then board his plane. If he goes to immigration, or gets stopped by the police, he'll be fined and held at IDC until he goes to court, and then he'll be deported. From what I've read the wait at IDC can be weeks, and isn't at all comfortable. And I believe the ban if caught is much longer as well.
