  1. It was stolen, like the election? I love Rita Coolidge rendition of Second Story Window
  2. If you skimp on primer the top coat peels off. Preparation, cleaning B4 any paint is applied. Time of 24 hours between coats. Cant recommend a painter, good luck.
  3. Lots of good advice from other BHP vets. Recommend both saw palmetto and stinging nettle root powder. Take either 1 or both; always order 2 bottles because one you start....you won't want to be without.
  4. Good to see the Younger generation trying to help solve the problem. He doesnt need the publicity, he is talented and popular.
  5. Corn bread crust with pesto not on any restaurant menu, DIY and yummy.
  6. Everything being equal, I will keep taking stinging nettle, Cardoxa and minipress with cialis if needed. Dont eat too much dairy and drink psillium husk every day.
  7. Do exactly the same thing and Mr Slim A/C cleaned twice a year. Go outside to swim for 45 minutes then back to my ac world. Been here a while and coping to accomodate climate is our generation's WW2. This was Japan lake Biwa this week. Clear and clean skies....
  8. What happened to empathy? Isn't it a saving grace ? Friends are people who help you move house or bring home-made food to your pot-luck. Everyone else is an aquaintence.
  9. If you can include some titles that would be great????
  10. "Learning" how to drive a motorcycle in Thailand? Insurance is an absolute must but getting on a motorcycle without some training/learning and having a passenger along doesn't sound like a good combination. If he has some basic instructions and insurance fine and if not then fugghedaboutit. You're doing a nice thing by trying to help him...just make sure he is understanding that this isn't a 1st world country and there are no rules here.
  11. Of course N Young is from Canada but left to seek fame and fortune in the lower 48 where he thrived. Gr8 album.
  12. Have a plain white envelope with 3 100 US Ben franklins inside. If you are stopped by customs just hand them the envelope -- no problem -- just be prepared in advance.
  13. Arrived at Suwanabhumi Dec 4, no TM6, otherwise easy as my Thai wife told the IG I was her hubby so all the lines were skipped. Always use mail and PPE for 90 days -- why not and ez. My next time at Immigration will be 3/1 , have to get stamped in.
  14. White vinegar also takes the sting away pronto
  15. Each checked piece of luggage may not exceed 32 kilos. When you purchase your ANA ticket you may at that time indicate that you want to bring extra luggage along. Not sure if you have to clear customs on your first port of call in America or not, but it would be a non-starter if that is the case.
  16. You might try reaching out to Scott Berry in Bangkok. He might have a better idea of which Thai speaking therapists would potentially do some therapy via Zoom or Skype with you wife. The 'sadness' of the moment is wearing on a lot of people right now and getting some better coping skills might help take the edge off things. One other potentially helpful thing would be transcendental meditation, 20 minutes twice a day to lower the stress level. One of the physicians who studied TM came up with a pretty simple and easy to practice version detailed below. My dad used this technique and stopped drinking and smoking --- 2 very difficult things to shake. The Relaxation Response Herbert Benson, M.D. Harvard University The Relaxation Response is a natural innate protective mechanism which allows us to turn off harmful effects from stress through changes that decrease heart rate, lower metabolism, decrease rate of breathing, and in this way being the body back into a healthier balance. There are four basic elements necessary to evoke the Relaxation Response. a. a quiet environment, b. an object to dwell upon, c. a passive attitude – “let it happen,” and d. a comfortable position. In order to trigger the Relaxation Response, follow the steps below: Sit quietly in a comfortable position. Close your eyes. Deeply relax all your muscles Breathe through your nose. Become aware of your breathing. As you breathe out, say the word “ONE” silently to yourself. For example, breathe IN---OUT, “ONE”: IN...OUT, “ONE”: etc. Breathe easily and naturally. Continue for 10 to 20 minutes. You may open your eyes to check the time, but do not use an alarm. When you finish, sit quietly for several minutes, at first with your eyes closed and later with your eyes opened. Do not stand up for a few minutes. Do not worry about whether you are successful in achieving a deep level of relaxation. Maintain a passive attitude and permit relaxation to occur at its own pace. When distracting thoughts occur, merely return to repeating “ONE.” With practice, the response should come with little effort. Practice the technique once or twice daily but not within two hours after any meal since the digestive process seems to interfere with the elicitation of the Relaxation Response.
