deja vu again

I'm pretty sure I can help you with that. There's a particular banana called: Gluay Nam Wah. The other bananas such as Kruay Haaawhm (long, typical American style), and the Gluay Kai (short smooth, yellowish inside, sweet) are NOT what you want. Gluay Nam Wah is short like the Gluay Kai but the Gluay Nam Wah has three or four smooth ridges running lengthwise from stem to end. Anyway, just ask any market vendor and they'll point them out. Macro has them too. The Gluay Nam Wah banana has the benefit of being very "base", as opposed to acid. Needless to say, that's how it works to mitigate the acid in your stomach. Very important, it can not be stressed enough: You must select the bunches that are not completely ripe i.e. yellow. You MUST select bunches that still have a good amount of green left it them. If they're too ripe, they loose a significant amount of their base. The wife says you can actually freeze them if their ripening too fast for your consumption rate. Dosage: Eat them as much as you can stand, all day long. The wife had terrible acid reflux for one month after IVF, even had to sit up in bed when trying to sleep to prevent the acid from reaching her throat. But she ate Gluay Nam Wah bananas, about five per day, during that time, and it's helped her tremendously. Her body weight maybe much less than yours so you might need to eat more. Myself, I eat them whenever I feel my stomach is a bit acidy, and it works like a charm. ( I also throw one on my rolled oats every morning without fail. ) Give it a try and let us all know how it goes. Of course keep trying to find what it is in your diet that may be the source of the acid reflux and weed it out. Also, go to Youtube and search "Barbara Oneil acid reflux." She is an amazing nutritionist, a naturopathic doctor, with more than a few videos on how to cure it. Salud!

The article didn’t allege this was a hate crime against Thais by Brits, nor did it mention anything about Jews being hated by Brits. What is your goal, contriving an association between the two, while neither exists, and painting all Brits as a hateful lot? The badge of persecution you wear on your sleeve is a tired ploy everyone sees. Perhaps you would find more eager ears if you posted a new thread in the travel section. You might call it “whining and dining in Pai and Koh Phangon.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

You can live in TL as cheep or as expensive as you want, not so in Portugal. TL is no paradise nor is any other country for an expat to retire. Portugal is a wonderful country to visit, I traveled all over there North to South in my 30's. But for a retired guy, as I am now, I'm sure it would get boring after a while, especially if you're single. It also bears mentioning that if a guy of retirement age (married or not) wants to get laid at any given time, and on easy terms, the choice of place to retire is definitely TL, certainly not Portugal. Don't get me wrong, maybe if you're single, you could meet a nice Portuguese lady there and find real happiness. She might be a little old, perhaps a bit wrinkly, maybe a little fat too. But hey, love is love. Peace.

Here's one for your AI to chew on, SoCal: All women everywhere that work in a bars love men, and every man that meets them love them too. And after every short time and every long time they all live happily ever after.

I wouldn't doubt it. And the same AI would be a member of each team, creating the posts and doing the profiling of all commenters.

'tis the bs artist that makes the art grow profounder.

Is your suspicion that the op is actually not a flesh and blood human? I would agree for the reason you give. Other major ops on AN seem to have the same psycho/social trolling scheme. But I believe the end goal is not to just generate arguments, but to generate content so that AI can learn our individual behavioral traits, profile us, and at minimum create targeted advertising. But possibly do to you much worse if you cross the line and become a "person of interest". Those who doubt this should consider why these forums are even allowed to exist, or who are the deep pockets funding them. All the three letter government agencies, those who seek to own you, would love to have the data.

That would be the Wizzard of Oz

Could it be "medical cannabis use" for anyone who wants to self-medicate? That would make perfect sense.

But without readily available weed, what will they do to dumb down the masses? Or is that no longer necessary?

Yeah, that's it! That's the ticket!!!

...bj (okay is this acceptable now? Sheesh!)

Every time I see a photo of him and her he looks like he just got the most amazing <deleted>.

This article smells fake, pure click bait. And who would pay such a ridiculous amount of money to be with a mediocre looking girl anyway?

Pattaya will be the first port of call to pick up some gogo girls for the voyage. If they keep them away from the periscope while in enemy waters, shouldn't be a problem.🙄

TFB! People should live within their means and stop pretending to be someone they are not. Let them eat rice.

Sad really. But how can the problem be fixed if there's not many attractive alternatives for drug abusers. Like having a good job with good pay? There's a lot of young men out there who need a goal in life, like a career they can respect. Perhaps the government could focus on promoting "real-world" education, skill building, and blue-collar employment opportunities. The Trades! For example, by improving building standards, building code enforcement, requiring permits and inspections, real contractor licensing and oversight, real City Inspectors (with ample pay, authority, and respect, they could actually reject bribes). This whole sector of the economy is missing and everyone would benefit by it's implementation.

If you're referring to retirees in Thailand that post on AN... perhaps they're not so much grumpy as bored with the shabby drama of bumpkin-supremacists (and their well meaning apologists).

*boyfriend or husband rather

Where are the brothers and fathers of these abused women? They are worst cowards! If my sister or daughter was being abused by her boyfriend or daughter, I'd put an end to it, and If that didn't work I'd put an end to him, directly or indirectly.

I agree. I've use super glue (Thais call it "hot glue") on fine cracks too. In many cases you can actually align all the parts first and then run the nozel of the glue bottle over the joint and the glue will still seep in. If it's too tight you might have to spread the parts a bit. The reason for aligning the parts tightly first, is the glue works so fast.

Haven't tried HerbsPro, maybe I'll check it out if I'm having issues with iHerb. So far iHerb has been fine, reliable. Free shipping for orders over 1400 thb. but limit of three items. At checkout you can expand the total price details to show the VAT and duties etc.

you mean like toxic micro-plastics found in almost all our food and almost everything else? I eat toxic micro-fibers for breakfast. No, but seriously, a good quality mask is a better bet than breathing the crappy air in Thailand oftentimes. Trust the technology, you know like you trust the vaxxes.

Nope, can't be that. Found one that can suck a golf ball through a garden hose.
