It is not easy opening the computer ?? With a good case there is no need just open the draw and it automatically disconnects that drive, .. done in seconds, my own case has 5x HDD drawers + 2x SSD drawers, could also use the HDD drawers with [supplied bracket] so have 7x SSD if wanted.

How high is your blood pressure that you take medication
ignis replied to steveb5's topic in Health and Medicine
Likewise Hospital BP machines don't work all that well.... Depends which one you use.... found this years ago and still no different today... regardless of which Hospital or Nurse or even Drs machines Last week Hospital they have 3 brand new BP Machines = get the reading slip and take to the department where I see my Diabetic Dr.......... it is in the same waiting room the Nurse at that desk will also take my BP...... big difference as always but they write down both readings these days.. 136/70 vs 152/78 !!! Likewise with weight, brand new machine entrance to waiting room to Nurses station weight machine.. maybe 15 feet away and put on 7 kg !! I take my BP daily at home, so even if my machine is a bit out at least it is the same every day and gives me a much better idea = take BP amount according to this reading... [have a box with pills cut in halve so some day maybe need on 1/2 a pill or if high may take an extra 1/2] same with my BS home machine take insulin amount according to readings -

Newer Med"s that did not work or bad reactions.. last 7 years been on 1x evenings Prenolol 25mg + 1x mornings Losartan 50 mg + 1 x evenings 2 mg Dozozin [one Dr mixed more pills in my Prescriptions for BP with bad results] For years take at home my BP at least 1 x day, normally 130 - 140 over 68 -78 Age: 72 - 1.88 tall - 103 kg No idea why will suddenly go up 220/130 or suddenly drop 54/32 + passing out... Madiplot, lisinopril and amlodopine. I cannot take both give bad swelling of legs/ankles/feet The annoying things here.... the moment you get to Hospital they must do BP reading sometimes this can be high = your on a bed in a moment and given 2 or 3 different pills.. Never found out what they are, + or an injection of ? no idea. -
Extension of Non-O (retirement). Passbook-less
ignis replied to bg53's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Not CM Immigration Office.. My Thai Bank also was No Passbook type, when setting up the account 20 years ago there was an option Bank statement sent to my address every month Yes also needed to order the Bank letter 3 days before the yearly trip to Immigration. to pick up at my local Bank branch.. [go into local branch fill out 'letter' request {for Immigration} = printed at head office over night, next day sent to local branch = pick up said letter day 3 as soon as they opened on way to Immigration] = Needed 12 months Statements + Bank letter + copies of each -

Why were 20% of the Thai population not infected with COVID-19?
ignis replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I was never infected that I know of, or any symptoms. Plenty of people around me were, + some many times. Never took any of the Vaccines there again never tested or used a home kit [no idea how to use a kit] Me in the high risk group + 72 So No idea why, my partner has had the Vaccine + 3 boosters + had Covid twice -
Never eaten frozen Mulberries, if I ever bought them - then put in a pot with hot water and crushed them for Mulberry juice Nothing added, when cold put in bottles and in the fridge for drinks.. These days have plenty, so mid morning go out and pick and eat them fresh from the trees.
-
Why Blueberries ? search blueberries vs Mulberries Mulberries are better + a lot cheaper, in Makro they were last time looked 69 baht kg frozen Myself took some cuttings years ago, now have 11 trees in my garden = as much as I can eat every day. being diabetic + on insulin for many years, likewise strawberries are diabetic friendly as is IN season cost 80 baht per kg at the moment.

Always order COD + Local..... normally says delivery date [ both items ordered today say delivery 15 - 17 March ] If not received by 17th then order from another seller and when and if delivery driver phones/ tries to deliver refuse item., must say mostly Lazada is OK, Shopee is often delayed for whatever reason. and yes some say derived FREE by company/owners own fleet. other than large items. smaller items very rare they ever arrive When I order is is because I want items, not interest if packed within moments of them receiving Order then hear nothing for 7 or 8 days.

Buy from both... Lazada search is better.. Yesterday search Shopee '20kg Fish Food' found 6 items = 4 was cat food !!! search same on Lazada = 8 pages and many different brands eg: normally buy Fish Food from Lazada for many years = order today arrives next day. last time ordered from Shopee = next day item show packed then nothing then day 7 show order cancelled why ? !!! other items on Shopee will state 'packed' then nothing - then day 7 or 8 will get the phone call from delivery driver refuse, as many times already ordered on day 5 and received said items next day form Lazada Lazada shows details of item packed - picked up - arrived at warehouse - out for delivery etc.. on the other hand ordered lighting from Shopee last week arrived fine and fast

Blood pressure medication in Bangkok?
ignis replied to BillStrangeOgre's topic in Health and Medicine
Pill cutters are very cheap from the Pharmacy [paid 25 baht a few years ago] I say this because often it appears pill are all the same price no matter what mg. my BP pills are 'Prenolol' 25mg mornings [Atenolol] they cost the same price as 50mg pills, so it works out a lot cheaper to cut them in halve the same with 'Losartan' 50 mg evenings I have the 100 mg and cut in halve -
I have the same problem with AIS while watching IPTV on my android 10 box, had the same problem on my Android 8 box [reason I bought a new box].. Never used a VPN NO idea, if [often] when I watch the same TV stations on my PC also NO VPN there is never a problem. never suddenly stops/freezes ?? Use Bluestacks so all the different TV contents are the same as on my Android box Also odd, thought I would try. just a few baht a month added Nat Geo offer from AIS to my box = perfect No sudden stops/freezes ❔❓

having dogs = lot of dog hairs, so maybe will look into these ones that have a tendency to suck ???? -
Red Meat is bad - is hard on your kidneys, having CKD for many years eat very little. would rather not eat red meat than being on Dialyses for rest o my life... managed to get down to just under Stage 3 from Stage 5 in 2015. Red Meat, Salt, and Diet Drinks, cutting them out worked wonders

Do you have a Blood testing machine ? you need one you need to test every day... 286 is high do you know what the reading was this morning ? after taking 2 x 500 mg Metformin since December... R U going down ? going up? you need to test mornings [fasting] + To start with before eating + 2 hours after every meal, after a while you will know what is rising your blood sugar levels Everyone is different + different food reacts differently in different people.. as for There's a lot of misinformation in the nutrition field - I agree 100%.... 2 Thai friends [one is 64 the other early 40's] have Metformin + Insulin every day = nothing to do with being overweight as both very skinny thin diagnosed with Diabetes 34 years ago, remember back then BS was over 500 Fasting + a1c 15%. but think I had it for many years before then, Red Cross Hospital BKK, diagnosed in 2015 have LADA Diabetes and Insulin 2 x day was added, last few years keep around 95 - 120 every morning [102 this morning] 103 with A1c 6.1 last week Hospital blood work. For reasons never worked out, the few odd times will suddenly drop I get a cold sweat and shakes = test BS and sure my BS is down far to low 60 or under.... + also on the odd times my BP [Blood Pressure] will suddenly drop like to 50/30
