Ear nose and throat Hospital Pinklao almost everyone speaks good English > went for years for eyes, but go to Red Cross since 2016 [lot cheaper] As for ear wax both ears cleaned 800 baht last year [full of hard wax and hair] had to go every 2 or so for past 10 years when I can no longer hear have tried this over the counter drops - bobbles a lot but appears not to clean, others that use this appear to have to do it every week for best results

My Blood Pressure Numbers are always Normal - I'm Confused .
ignis replied to Bill Poster's topic in Health and Medicine
I'm 74, been taking Blood Pressure Med's for over 30 years, for years mine were like yours a bit low, 2 years ago Dr took me off BP med's for 2 weeks went up to high 200/100+ so was put back on them again but a lower mg per day, now always around the same every day between 145 - 160 over 68 to 90. appears Dr thinks this is good... My 90 day Hospital Visit was last Friday = at the Hospital + 2 different machines 158/67 + 160/74 maybe will try different mg per day so take the 1/2 dosage Prescribed 1 day and full tablet the other ?? is what I have done for years with my Insulin - use dosage according to Blood Sugar reading. -
Be sure it says AIR MAIL on the Envelope Registered mail is a lot cheaper than EMS..... Air mail is just that it goes by plane, I find it has arrived within 6 days

No idea how normal mail comes/goes to Australia From UK to Thailand normal mail > re Royalmail.co.uk website states they aim delivery in 59 days. I did asked Royal Mail a few years ago > the answer was normal post > truck to sorting office > truck to Southampton > ship to Singapore > truck to sorting office > over land to Malaysia sorting office > overland to Thailand sorting office > truck to local office > out for delivery Now a day the only mail sent, as they still insist to send so say is my Pension letters, out of 5 said 100% sent letter, only 1 arrived and took 18 months to arrive.. = every 2 year have to go to the great expense on phoning them [phone answered then on hold then to all the options then wait for someone to answer, then a pile of security questions = normal take 45 mins on a mobile phone = then then ask if I still have the same email = then send the forms via email within a hour > No they cannot email me without sending a letter which never arrives first !! that is progress in the modern day ? in the old days here the postman came 1 x a day to the Village if anyone had post, these days there are 3 post delivery men per day.

You may want to think about the tax per year, it changed 2 or 4 door under2 lt is a lot cheaper per year, Road Tax now is on engine size.. Toyota Hilux Revo ROCCO is 2.4 or 2.8 lt so over double the road tax every year !! Re Ford. our 2019 Ranger XLT was trouble free, sold last year with 388,000 km, the New Gen Ranger XLT is even better, taxed last week = 1 year old + 98.000km trouble free comfortable motoring Test drive and see what you like best

on the Web it appears I am not alone 'easier faster and smoother on a computer' many reports resent 2024 and going back to 2017 eg: The reason why streaming is easier and smoother on your computer is because your computer is more powerful than your android box, Because streaming is so intensive, it affects the quality of how the stream goes. Usually for most, it cuts your framerates in half. Your android box are not as powerful as your computer and probably don't have a dedicated graphics card, so they have a hard time streaming. Hardware Differences: Your PC likely has more powerful hardware compared to your Android TV box. PCs typically have faster processors, more RAM, and better storage capabilities than most Android TV boxes. This extra processing power can make a significant difference in how quickly the Kodi application can search for and retrieve movie links. + 100 more of why a PC is easier and faster on your computer than most Android boxes but again it all to do with price you want to pay > Android Box 1,400+ vs decent Mini PC 12,000+, mid range good PC 30.000+ Some people have it installed on there Laptops, when at home plug into TV to view on big screen
