  1. I can imagine myself at my desired weight, exercising, assuming the position # 3 and pushing very hard, to buy a lot more health insurance! ROFL
  2. That’s interesting. My GF just planted 3 Rai of papaya for us because I love it, it feels good to eat!
  3. Maybe they can address the annoying pop up ads covering up the pages on mobile display. It’s so annoying that I stopped coming to the pages and only read the summary page. I’m pretty sure Cigna and all the health insurance ads are going to remain as irrelevant as they were.
  4. Any red meat in the house for 2 days becomes an Indian curry and portioned and frozen. I also slow cook the beef in a Dutch oven with veg and beef and roast potatoes when I can find them
  5. I actually don’t like the store environment as much as I like the markets. Early mornings I grab a basket and head to the market for tomatoes and cucumber and there are always several attractive ladies coming in and out. I just walk real slow and compare melons while I’m at it.
  6. “Thailand still permits internet connections and mobile phone signals to support these activities.” seems a first logical step to cut off the data pipe for starters. Call centers like this are a cancer in every single society and should be actively routed out and prosecuted. But I do have to ask, isn’t the largest carrier in the country owned by bigwigs in the federal government?
  7. so misleading and outright wrong. my 2 cents, you get what you pay for! Buffet and all the other player’s including banks are using Arbitrage to make huge earnings and profit. How could gold have so much increase and earnings (394%!) if it wasn’t money? Everything else is paper and can vanish at a whim of an Incompetent leader. ( EG Canada!) All the banks,countries, and super rich are pushing CBDC on the common people and hoarding up the hard currency ( gold) for themselves. Interest rates are designed to strip the wealth from the public to the benefit of the investors. Gold doesn’t rust or burn, is widely recognizable portable and tradable. It is the basis of all money. Full Stop! ALL the western countries and financial institutions buy gold to cover their “ natural shortfall” in (ta-da!) * Fractional Reserve Banking* Gold is traditionally a storage of wealth unless you have enough to do Arbitrage and not feel pinched for cash flow. I suspect that the bulk of the Gold in the world is generally not reported on the books and is stored and hidden. By current thinking and definition, gold is not generally considered income or money but a. “Commodity for trade.” ( *evil deception there*) That’s a cue for Forbes magazine can pipe up and repeat the “ gold is not income bearing” lie. They think we are too stupid to know about Arbitrage Banks, super rich, and some smart investors do it all the time to set prices and reap windfall profits. Don’t be fooled! Gold ( and silver) are the origin and source of true wealth as the absolute common denominator for exchange. The BIS and all the Central banks use it as a baseline for currency exchanges so how is it not money? Gold is The foundation of all money, simply put, a medium of exchange of energies they measure in Troy ounces against your labor and brain power. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/active-trading/021715/precious-metals-arbitrage.asp May you all be profitable in your life! Cheers!
  8. I had to close 4 popup windows to read this thread. This site is becoming unusable for the pops
  9. a lot of good advice above. I’ve recovered from non Hodgkin’s lymphoma quite well and have been able to retire to Thailand. I dunno if that qualifies me as one of the aforementioned non experts so I’ll refrain from commenting further about the facilities and staff here in Thailand but if you need to talk about the experience, I’ve got some experiences can relate. Simply put : it’s not a death sentence like a cancer diagnosis used to be that us old guys remember, and the medical treatments have gotten substantially better even since I took treatment. I did a full body autologous Stem cell transplant in 2018 after I was as cleared by chemo, to prevent genetic reoccurrence. it was $@“@& brutal. I survived as most do. I can relate details privately if you need. Get a second opinion, study the treatment before taking it, don’t rush, reviewed the side effects especially and be prepared to take a lot of rest. If I would’ve been near the ocean, I would’ve taken to bathing and swimming in saltwater regularly to wash the toxins out/off, as it was I took showers and sauna as frequently as I could That is one of the most important parts of going through the chemo, you have to reduce toxic load on your intake and sweat and all manner of bodily functions to get cleaned out. i added holistic practices and raw foods, lots of garlic, onions, cabbages and sourkraut, pickles were especially tasty, ACV, elderberry syrup, cannibis oils. I still have side effects from the whole procedure that make my life a little uncomfortable sometimes but for the most part, I’m living well and healthy after 2 1/2 years of treatment. Drop me a message if you need. I wish you a full and speedy recovery, body mind and spirit! cheers…. Shlomo
  10. Fishing? Really? You think they would encourage the fisherman to be there because it openly indicates that the water is of good quality , that the environment is clean! Caveat : I’ve never been there, just defending my fellow fisherman
  11. He hasn’t got a plan. And don’t tell him about Isaan, we don’t want to let the greatest secret out to everyone! I ❤️ Isaan!
  12. You say that like there is some wrong with an id and house book? please explain yourself…
  13. Thailand Facebook marketplace is the worst I’ve seen for scams. Deceptively priced items regularly. many scammers offering to collect balance on delivery with a deposit, and then never delivering a product and subsequently blocking and deleting all communication without a trace of where / who they are. Many of these “struggling hawkers and traders” do not even own or have products in their possession and merely conspire with others to photograph, communicate with purchaser, pressure sell (hurry today for discount) we can deliver and other “service”. I’ve had them send ID and other personal information and claim it was them but don’t see them in any pictures they send. pictures of loading the truck etc, the pics they sent were different trucks, different loads, no licence plate numbers seen, people in one pic had different clothes in second picture and were supposedly loading the truck “ at that moment” They want you to send money before shipping. Nah, sorry, I know what I’m buying and it ain’t there BS
  14. “ the funds raised will be invested in environmental, social and corporate governance projects as they add value to the economy,” Please tell me how Blackrock’s global ESG program directives are actually adding value to the economy? Most of the money spent there actually produces nothing tangible or physical, as it mostly pays for studies, papers and plans and programs and management salaries. I don’t understand this to be “ value added”, since all that paper pushing consumes much and produces very little.
  15. They make green tape every day. It’s a common fix for the color coding. Don’t get too hung up about it “, a couple wraps of tape wherever there is joints for identification and you are good to go. (meter and test everything, Somchai the electrician has his own code to follow. )
  16. I hope they include Canada in the 90 day free stamp. I’d ay for the 9 day even to avoid a border run or flight.
  17. Canada legalized it, removed 7 criminal penalties and added new ones to the criminal code with the “legalization”. much of the mythical illusions of what cannabis does has faded and medical and recreational cannabis use is very widely accepted in the public now. It took about 4 years but things are changing rapidly. Lots of money changes hands and tax revenue is coming in. Government likes it. It's not going away at all. my 80 year old mom went on Cannibis oils for cancer treatment and she’s been the most pleasant she’s ever been in her life ever since, cancer is gone and shes a fit active senior now. i too had my bout with chemo and attribute my recovery from the evil plant. There has been 60 years of study around the world in scientific research and every government of the world KNOW it’s good for humans,. But the fight is always about how to divide the spoils of war, because it is a war between differing forces for the dollars.
  18. A good pizza is made fast, cooked in under 2 minutes!
  19. Shmo

    Amway

    Last I heard , in North America, away was selling cars. I was signed in once, some pretty good products but expensive, never made a penny. Worked hard for a year. Never signed anyone up. It’s a MLM .
  20. Those loads are substantially higher by exponential notation and this type of arc flash under 220 volt is *nearly* impossible. Just don’t ground out a primary current carrying conductor.
  21. I’m in Isaan and you are lucky to find a decent pizza anywhere in Thailand. I had one the other night, they used mayo as a sauce , the crust was uncooked and was overloaded with greasy cheese. It was inedible, but was only the 2nd place I’ve found pizza. im gonna have to build a brick oven or two and teach pizza making to my local friends. They surely need some pizza making guidance and some proper cooking tools. These countertop pizza cooking units are trash. .
  22. By example of their agenda and control: China completely runs the Canadian media. Klaus Shwab of WEF notaritey publicly claims half of our government cabinet is under its influences but I suspect China is the other half. There is Chinese police stations and intimidation people of Canadian-Chinese-backgrounds. The Trudeau government has shut down multiple RCMP police investigations into Chinese interference with our elections and regular intimidation and harassment of these Canadian citizens. No public criticism of China is allowed. CCP and their Tofu constructed economy literally gets no coverage in the news because the Trudeau government pays off the 3 big news companies, openly bragging they are doing it and any non government approved reporters or media are deplatformed and demonetized. One is not allowed to question the government agenda, or call for accountability on any economic issues and our current Prime Minister openly says he admires the basic dictatorship of China. This Trudeau Liberal government literally seized and froze the bank accounts and any financial assets (including digital currencies!!) of hundreds of public donors to the truckers freedom rally because the truckers disagreed with government lockdowns and mandates , and dared to protest about it. The government canceled insurance policies and locked bank accounts of the truckers, even going so far, is threatening to take the truckers children. Tamara Lynch spent almost a year in jail, and is still on trial two years later for “public mischief” because they claim that she was the ringleader of the entire convoy. The police were ordered in and used horses and trampled the supporters of the truckers convoy. Beatings, arrests, phony trials, all the while the Prime Minister publicly condemned the truckers and by default anyone who supports them as undesirable and dangerous racists and bigots and that “we shouldn’t tolerate these kinds of people in our society”. This is examples of Chinese tactics used by our Chinese owned government in Canada. Thailand deserves better. Please!!! Don’t give in to their agenda!!
