Last week both method in 90 seconds for 3,500 B at a private local hospital

People - Every night in my little neighbourhood, people are gathering on a side street

with beer and no mask, sitting close together and being very happy...

Of course they will pass on their germs !   Is that so difficult to understand ?

Beer and friends makes happy, close together, passing on all sorts of germs including

covid 19.   

Keep the booze places locked ....................the neighbourhood get togethers are enough

Yeah, I have been where you are now. A nerve, likely in the lumbar region gets pinched.

I nearly cried for three months until I found an honest chiropractor (in Canada) who did a simple adjustment and I followed with exercise. That,s simple enough.

The difficult part is to find an honest chiropractor in Bangkok.

Oh, try ice packs where it hurts and the skin feels hot. 

What worked well for me is salt water swooching in the effected area, Massage the

the flesh at the same time. Swooshing and massaging  every 1-2 hours for about three days

Sounds simple I know, but it worked. My best to you.........

How about shaming the government about the lack of vaccinations ?

Is that too much to ask for  ? 

Never mind the experts. Ask Google and you may find that many others have/had the same problem and worked out a solution.

I speak from experience with an 8 yr old HP windows 8.1 and the experts - too old need a new one, cant fix.  

Search Dr. Google

I figure - if I heard it correctly  - its called pigeon or better pidjin English; spoken by all

and understood by few. That's pretty good since a lot of teachers weren't borne in an

English speaking couintry...........

Yeah,, in Canada I cooked ALL my own  food. Had friends for big meals. Great....

Here I don't have a kitchen, only fridge and micro wave: Oh yemine ! 

Have a campstove on the balcony. Gonna buy a slow cooker. Terrible to cook for one person without a large freezer. 

Anybody else in the same boat ? How do you manage, what do you cook ?

Have Googled iron deficiencies and restless legs is the only symptom I have, all the other symptoms I don't have, so pretty sure it's not that.

You need to have only ONE symptom, not two or three. Google lists all

possible symptoms

Without ventilation, the roof cavity will get extremely hot and will heat the room below.

Good ventilation requires opening underneath the soffit , maybe two per side. Also an good outlet on top of the roof. I come from Canada. Sellers of a/c units frequently will refuse to install a/c unless the roof ventilation has been properly installed.

Try iron pills like FBC.  I have been reading recently that one signal of iron deficience are restless leg syndrome. Lots of pharmacies have FBC.

Do some research on google under "symptoms of iron deficiency"

Also do some light leg exercises and see what happens (You Tube)

Hello !    It's not only about the thickness of the ceiling insulation

but about proper ventilation in the roof space.  Of that builder here 

don't have a clue.  There should be several 'holes' under the sofit 

( air intake ) and one or or two holes on the top of roof ( air to go out ), both protected against rain.  You and Google figure the rest.

My experience with my dentist:

Used my Bk dentist for l o n g  time. Generally satisfied....hmm.......

But few x-rays with a machine from before WWII. Fixes a tooth but does not check the others thoroughly.

Very skilled, painfree....hmm.... but always does root canal before a crown at 9000 per canal with maybe three healthy roots per tooth.  I recently learned that back home dentists do not disturb healthy roots.

Quietly ignores my wishes for fully functioning crowns on back

teeth........hmm.......by putting in perfectly smooth and round crowns which are nearly useless for chewing solid Western food. Likely ok for Thai eating soft Thai foods. 

Feel very frustrated.  I feel cheated, quietly, unobtrusively the typical Thai way with that nice smile and "no problem, Sir, you won't feel a thing".................

I like living here; so quiet, safe, people are immensely polite........but......the creepy insincerity on various levels is getting to

me at times. Until now I have shrugged my shoulders saying T.i.T.........

until now............but..............

Dogs perspire mainly by open their mouths and letting their tongue hang out. They

overheat if you prevent them from opening their mouths and letting their tongue hang out. Yes, that;s 

a fact...................

How many brown envelopes I wonder

Been a lot of unhappiness from Skype users generally about this and Skype have backtracked on closing down Version 7 and allowing it to continue. 

Thanks for the info. I changed back to version 7.xx. So far so good except MS bugs me every time I sign on to my computer wanting me to adopt the new version.

This new version is a piece of garbage........

I find that Thais speak very quietly with each other when in a small group or at

work.  Teens with motorcycles are a very different matter as are loudspeakers in a store advertising something - boy, oh boy !  

But noisy bikes are not fined and advertisers are not told to cool it. So ?  what do you expect ?   

Great reporting and really nice pics. Thank you very much, gives me an idea what this ancient country looks like today. Sorry about the claustrophobia, I used to have it. Got rid very slowly avoiding any situation that might start it again. Funny how important beer is to you.  Wish you many good rides to come.....

Regarding post #12.    Please send me the info as well.   I am very much older than 

those writing but have been weightlifting, stretching, yoga. meditation, for over 

40 years, nearly every day. I am good shape have some probs with mineral supplements. Take Androgel, 1/3 of recommended dose semi often. It really improves my overall feeling well and strength.

My contribution to this topic is my experience of staying in close touch with my

body all the the time,  ALL the time..............all the time in a positive way ?.
