save the frogs

A cockroach got in! Fortunately, it was easy to kill. Just one whack. But keeping windows open is a bad idea. But the geckos may be able to get in through cracks anyway.

Well, just read a story about a Brit who got knocked off by his bargirl gf and her Thai bf. She was 30 years younger. So in some rare cases, they get tired of waiting for you to die and accelerate the process. Especially if you put property in her name and she doesnt need your money any more. Personally, I don't want to be with a woman who is waiting for me to die.

I'm glad I didn't have to be the party pooper in this thread. Smart people like Donny Boy don't drink!

you mean by staying on meds for decades, right? I guess you can tweak the glucose/insulin with meds for decades, but i'm hoping to stay off meds if possible.

controlling glucose does not address the "root cause" of diabetes, in my understanding.

Jesus man, I wonder if these threads are turning people off from living in Pattaya.

No, sorry. You are probably right. It may not be reversible for everyone. Depends how many years you have been diabetic I think.

Type 2 Diabetes is reversible. But it does take some effort - diet changes and maybe exercise But Big Pharma prefers to keep people on their medications for 35 years for profits. And you doctor will never give you the proper advice to get off the meds.

no flies have come in yet. only the gecko. if it's a problem, will need to install screen as per advice of previous poster.

there's another thread on AN where people are posting their meals. maybe AN isn't much better than Facebook.

i cant stand watching f1, but good for economic boost

Yeh, he's quite creative. But now he's being accused of using AI. So anyone who is creative is using AI now?

you're prolific, man

I wonder if it's popping in and out. Because sometimes I don't see it for days on end and then it reappears.

Yes, Harvard. Now we are entering the realm of cuckooland conspiracy theories .... Does the mainstream give out dodgy nutritional advice because they want people sick to increase profits? Tough discussion. And I'm tired.

Goddarn AI !!! You got me.

Ok, I will. You will need to read the article yourself ... I will just highlight one main point. Only Westerners eat brown rice because they have been influenced by so called nutritional experts. All other indigenous cultures like SEA cultures only ever ate white rice. And of course Western doctors always view themselves as superior ... but in this case they likely ain't. So why, if energy and time were at such a premium, did all of these cultures go to the effort of taking the bran and germ off of the rice? https://www.drlizcarter.com/please-stop-eating-brown-rice/

How so guardians? Where are you getting this from? Gecko mythology?

I came up with another trick. I use very small garbage bags which I replace often and I keep the garbage bags in the fridge. I don't leave garbage bags out anymore. So there is no food out ever.

YOU sound like a train wreck waiting to happen there, Lewie.

Jesus, man. Fred's been around.

laughing gas? really .... wow ... people can't deal with reality too well, can they? perpetually intoxicated

No, that's probably BS. They don't eat brown rice in Asia. Only westerners eat it because they health gurus told them it was healthier than white rice. But I think it's very difficult for the body to digest brown rice.
