I 've had good luck watching MLB as a subscriber over last number of years , but for some reason they switched from amazon powered by to a new company , its not as good as most previous powered systems MLB used before. Anyone else experiencing any problems like stuck when should return from commercials or just sticks and u need to hit red LIVE button. It is not my computer or ISP's fault , all other web pages r fine but MLB , so its not TRUE OR BBB , ITS MLB

Google>>>VIP Box , it has all kind of sports and Awards Shows and TV shows , worth a look ! If a 70 year old Non-Geek can figure it out , most of you will get it ,I hope . But like all freebies , watch out for Viruses and learn the right Buttons to Press ! MY Avast catches all the ones on there and my other TV & Movie channels....so far as I know ....plus I use another Malware & virus program !  They tell you on their website its free , and don't pay anyone who may ask or report anyone who asks.    http://www.vipbox.me/football

Way back when I first moved here in 1988 , we always watched Thai TV which back then broadcast the Super Bowl , that was

the Denver Broncos upset by the Washington REDSKINS. I remember Watching it in Washington Square @ Bourbon Street when it was still THE TEXAN run by Doug (still on the scene in new spot) and George (I heard he departed awhile back)

The coming of Cable was when Thai TV stopped showing the Super Bowl !

As some Religious Liar joined Sessions , why is it ok with the Majority of our Country , Liars & Falsehoods , Shame on you Jeff....Someone tell the Reverend to go suck on a Martini for awhile and stop saying the Plant is a Drug, When the enlightened know it is God's Weeds he placed on this earth to help Humans with healing properties.Please stop trying to connect this Racist Law ,which has destroyed so many people's Lives , for a Joint ! When you get higher on many more things that can hurt you so much more then POT! Get over it Rev.and you too Jeff , when we know ur anti-weed and Anti-People of Color ! Many of your Bosses friends are Tokers and unless you can prove your not being PAID by Cartels & other Politicians & Lobbyists , I'd let Cannabis run its course Jeff , States Rights you pompous Pen Pusher , the people know the truth , Big Pharma or Beer & Booze distributors want you to put the LIES even ur supporters don't want ! You are holding back so much Research , that has put USA behind in the Research of Medical uses .Stop blaming the wrong thing , your Heroin is the Real Problem our Country , needs to be weaned away from , , the lies have buried the Truth , like HEMP is connected , so we can ruin our Planet with PLASTICS. Alabama use to grow Hemp , did you fight that BS Law for the Farmers of Alabama ! Mr. Sessions are you really a Carpetbagger ?

I been looking around but being in a wheelchair makes it hard to seek and find , all help much appreciated !

I prefer a Inogen if not too expensive here and prefer Portable or a Yuwell 600 ,  only seen the Yuwell 300 on-line !

Not sure if its a good one or not , recommended or not ? Also , a Rollator that holds 500 Lb. weight Capacity , most are lightweight for Thai people 110K but also looking for Bariatric Electric Wheelchair that holds 200 kilos or more ! THX , Big Bill

Its what the receipt I sent to the VA said !

Bangkok Pattaya international hospital on Sukhumvit. Good, efficient, modern equipment, caring, ...about 10 or 20 quid.

I posted earlier I went to Bkk-Pattaya Hospital , great cleaning 1225 Baht , ok ! meds in that price for infections in that price

Has any of these Befar(Alprostadil  creams been approved for Thailand as yet , and anyplace in Pattaya that anyone or yourself know where find-able ?

His brother and son showed up day before he died.

His ex and his thai daughter live in Oz

If he had woke up,  he would have been a vegetable as he had a stroke than a heart attack.

so best he went asleep,

RIP

There was no one who could ok the Hospital to do anything for John , until they arrived and by then , he was probably ....I think John would rather me say , by then he was a Cannabis Plant , rather then a Vegetable ! 

I guess he was cremated today.......do u know Richard? Hope they sprinled on some Buds for the Journey , he will be missed by many !

I am sorry to tell all who may have known John Pugh , one of the nicest People I met here in my 30 years of Partying in the Land of Smiles.

Captain Tuna as I called John , who was one of the original owners and along with his friend Tom MacNamara , created Baan Rim Paa , and it became one of Phuket's favorite Dining , and Piano Bar hangouts on the Island !

    John had been living up-country last few years , but visited Phuket often over the years ,especially around Regatta time.

Best I can find out , he had a stroke 2 weeks ago , went into a Coma and passed a few days ago !

So John has gone sailing , his Body is being Cremated on Sunday.I know he'd love it if you'd listen to his favorite Jimmy Buffet tune , which we were 40 when we met , and a few others while you Celebrate his Life So listen to these tunes , think of our Friend .I will post more if I hear anything , but not being Blood Family the Hospital will not tell any of his Best Friends who were like Family to him .No idea if any of his USA Family are coming , but they were contacted ,He has sons and daughter , plus a Brother , who has visited him here .....I will miss you too much Brother John....R i P , Big Bill still in Pattaya.

Amorn in the basement of Tukom has a large selection of transformers,  just be aware that you may be able to step up from 110 Volts  to 220 Volts but the hertz (Hz), which controls the speed of the motor, will not be converted so your US sewing machine motor will run slower 

 

They may also repair your lamp since they have an electronic repair area on site 

 

 

 Any chance you might know if you can re-wire the sewing machine , there is a Singer Center here. Somewhere in the past 30 years here I remember I think that , a person I knew re -wired a electrical device instead of buyin' a Transformer.....possible?

Need to get a Lamp repaired and need to buy a Transformer for 120 Volt USA sewing Machine to 220Volt Thai electricity

Anyone have any recommendations , much appreciated ! 

I asked about transformers at Home Pro but the staff just showed me  universal plugs , not transformers !

Well , I had no choice cause we got out late and had to use BKK Pattaya ENT Doctor Lady was only person in-service , and good job she did but did clean the mess up but made me flinch a few more x then I would have preferred , but figured 2 or 3000B  , took at least 45 minutes , TMI u dont need but the Bill was 1225B I was a bit shocked , but there is a lot more Competition here then Phuket , so maybe thats why ! So , quality wise , very happy ....only waiting to pay bill seemed to take longer , plus on way out needed to use Toilet and no Handicap access and bathrooms at Makro are cleaner and better access....but one Nurse said it was different at another bathroom area, but I can walk ,just not far or too long           so I safely got to take a wee wee pause , but bathrooms were not clean for a Hospital of that size , cause my wife mentioned how clean and new looking the entries and all other areas lookin' good. Oh well , not like I'm moving in ! least not as yet !

Yes, I have a bad taste in my Mouth from BPH because its same as Bkk Phuket Hospital ...a chain of Hospitals that really over-charge patients , as I witnessed happen to more then a few friends in Phuket.....they charge like everyone has Insurance and that gives them the right to gauge....I've even seen people get charged for things they never even received but I've seen that in more then a few Hospitals here in my 30 years in Thailand.

In Phuket International I paid 500B for cleaning but that was over 5 years back .

One of the drawbacks of aging , but I need a place that they know what they are doing , I suffer from Chronic Ear infections and I am clogged on both sides TMI but appreciate recommendations . Banglamung Hosp/ did it 3 years and a few months ago but Doctor spent too much time on his computer , IMHO , then on patients concerns !

I been taking TRAMADOL for Chronic Pain from RA and Arthritis for well over 20 years , never take it until Pain arrives , I take 200Mgr. around 3-4 X a day . It doesn't do any good when I get Flare-ups , recently I found that my total Pain problem is Fibromyalgia , I sure wish The Thai Govt. would legalize Medical Marijuana , it is much safer to help with Chronic Pain and it would be a Big Plus to the Medical Tourism & Tourism Industries , that need help , Plus since inception Marijuana and HEMP laws have been nothing but scam Laws by the US Federal Agents being bribed by OIL < Big Pharma & Chemical Co. to keep Hemp off the Market so they can Pollute the Planet with Plastic goods ! So they can keep their jobs with a Unjust Laws against a Plant , that does way more to help People on Earth , The Person who had a problem with Tramadol does nothing but make it harder for People in need of Pain Medicine , harder to find and more costly when you Do ! Just get him to a re-hab clinic to deal with his addiction ! Your complaining does no one any good , just scares less knowledgeable People into getting worked up over nothing but your friend's Failure to use his prescibed Tramadol and stop abusing how he takes his Medicine on a Daily Basis !

I arrived in 85 and there was no Doolies. That didn't come along until 86.

Everyone went to Hard Rock Cafe run by Mac, when everywhere else closed.

Brian was running the Tequila bar at the front of Soi Ko Yoi (Crocodile) in 85.

Doolies started out as a cocktail Bar upstairs and was a Pizza joint downstairs that was doing great , but Brian screwed the guy and he moved to Soi Patong Resort , he had a beautiful wife as I recall ! Doolies as with the Zoo and Bear was '86 but Dooley who Brian used his name cause people liked him but hated Brian , was running it for Brian but left after a little bit. Also met a USAF guy who invested he said with Brian , didn't meet Larry til 87 or 88 , for me personally ! Patong was incredible back then , no Whiskey Tangoes , only a few backpackers , allot of oil workers and not the greed as Bad as it got over the years ! Tuk_tuk drivers were friendly and reasonable ,

what a different story after 2000 !

You are taking the P#3S, aren't you ?

So, where, or how  or which Thais exactly, do you think all this wonderful tax money for the government will benefit??????

Tourism alone is making allot of Money in Colorado , it would Boost all of Thailands Tourism industries , and that gives allot of people money to spend in other Businesses ! Plus its a BAD _BS Law forced on the World by the US Govt. It was also how they screwed up HEMP which is better then their poison Plastic but they Bribed US Govt. Agents to screw up our environment , all these laws on Weed are total screw the people , Big Oil & Big Pharma & Big Chemical companies and Cartels bribing Government Politicians and Law enforcement ! Only way to win the War on Drugs is to Legalize , Educate & Rehabilitate. With Trillions at Stake , you just make Dealers out of poor people ! The Rich get Richer and Poor go to slammer ! 

The Biggest lie by US Prohibition Agents and very Racist in its Target population ! There is a wise decision by The Government to Legalize for Medicinal use , Tramadol just ridiculous to find and is over-priced by Pharmacies and only 2 strips allowed  per day to purchase ! I suffer from Fibromyalgia and it is a Pain to find a decent medicine for my pains , its ok for daily pain but not for Flare-ups , they use to have Temegesic which was great for Flare-ups Pain but for some reason it was dropped here !

Actually , there were 2 Larry's @ Rock Hard but only Robert Larry was an owner . When we moved ROCK HARD a Go-Go downstairs Larry hired a couple who had opened a exclusive Piano Bar in some Condos , The Executive Lounge .....so many come and go over 30 years , hard to remember them all ! That failed ,  but we opened Rock Country upstairs , and it was run by Karen & Cowboy Larry . So , that did confuse many people , we did have 2....both are now passed over !Karen is a happy Camper living with her Husband in New Zealand , she is on FB , not often !

I don't remember Southern Comfort Guest House , but it opened  as CADILLAC MANSION as I remember but it may not have started that way .If IRA reads this , he can tell us more exactly , he ran it all those years !!

Actually IRA was the Man who got Rock Hard built 3 or 4 times for Larry !

I know Robert Larry Biedenharden from Rock Hard in Patong beach for almost 30 years , since almost both of us got here !

I was drinking in Doolie's on my first Trip in '85 and after 5 years in Bangkok on Patpong Road , Larry as most Westerners knew him by and Thais called him Robert , the old Double R in Larry was never their best at pronouncing....I got a call from a friend that he heard a rumour that Larry had passed away in LA , in a Motor Bike accident. After calling his USA Phone with no luck ,I called his wife and left a message , they were divorcing but got a text next day said Larry had passed away. On Facebook , there were many people trying to find out if it was True ??? Sadly to say My Friend and Brother died last week in a Motorcycle accident in LA , one other thing was something about him driving into a Underpass??? Have no idea what that means but someone in BKK said he was telling them he might due just that. Larry has been renting Rock Hard for a few years now , Ira and I were both gone and Larry just visited Pattaya and we talked daily but never got to see each other before he left ,back to Legal Weed California to Celebrate.!! He was sad with his Divorce and his Father had passed a few years ago , and the pain from previous Bike Accidents had kept him popping all kinds of Pain Meds, to deal with the pains of getting into our later 60s dragged us down its hole ! Those of you that knew us all these years , could testify that Larry and I were among the true Party Animals managing a American owned Go-Go bar in Thailand. He was one of the Craziest friends I ever had and at times one of my Best and closest. The Pain , I can tell you , may had allot to do with it but we will never know if he just went for one last ride or it was just an accident caused by pills for Pain ! 

    Some want to do a wake for him , so if we figure out where will post here or look on FB for more info at my Page William Sawyer or Big Bill Sawyer ! 

Hope this finds way to all his many friends and Customers from ROCK HARD PHUKET !

Larry , may you be gettin' High in a Good Place ! Big Bill Sawyer Friend , employee and Brother of the Heart  R i P !

Larry is survived by his son Alan in picture and daughter May from previous relationship before he married Oui or Wee , never sure how she spelled it ! 

Phuket has lost another of its legendary ex-pat characters !

Will try to find out info for anyone wishing to send condolences to Family , but take a toke and pass the Peace Pipe and blow ur smoke up to him , wherever he may be !

I use a WC and the office in Jomtiem is not  WC friendly but the people are! The ramp is a really steep slant , It isn't hard to get help either filling out the forms , in cafe buy something to drink and if they help you fill out ur forms , I think you just  give then a tip....no charge unless you overstayed  there might be a fine then. But if your not a Jerk or disrespectful, and tell them why ur late , we had just moved and forgot but the stamp was confusing too lat time for me I think they are easier to get along with here then in Phuket ! Of course their mood , might need to be good to get a break....also dress properly , not sloppily , is a good idea ! They feel disrespected when people come in to their office dressed like  beach Bums. Always smile and act with manners !

Are you still making your wonderful pickles?.... I loved them in Patong.

Only occasionally for friends here, funny but I gave some to my VFW case worker

who helped me get my Pension , he just sent an email telling us they were the best pickles he ever ate and ordered up a few jars for himself , I should go back into the Pickle biz but I'm retired and using a WC to get around !

 To others who commented on Filo pastry , none found in Foodland , Makro or Villa when Flower went looking !
