    https://www.lazada.co.th/products/16-hatari-fan-motor-i528412441-s948992036.html

     

    Check you are ordering the right beastie, there are several varieties.

     

    You can get just the coil assembly for less $$$ ????

    Again, there are several variants.

    Crossy,  at what stage do you give up on a fan ?

     

    My oldest stand fan is 19 years old last month, HATARI expensive in the day electronic load of functions.....

    Done many repairs over the years + 2 new motors, last month woke up in the night the plastic housing broke and the blades/ + housing fell on the floor.  found and bought another motor housing, now it suddenly stopped yesterday motor buzzing but will not spin the fan  even with my hand help...  switch off and motor is spinning free..  new capacitor still will not work.. 

     

    the case was blue, but is more faded grey these days, brittle with age.....  had a wall fan fall off the wall casing gave out with age....   

     

    Over the years have been replacing some fans now buy Sharp as appear quieter and stronger

    I suppose a good start would be if all the airport support vehicles were electric......bus the VIPs to their private jets in a golf buggy, rather than a large Mercedes. 

    VIP's in a Golf Buggy ????????

    or maybe a good reason to buy a fleet of new large Mercedes ?  lets see how much money they can spend.. I mean there a MUST have right

  3. Yet again with Shopee T


    Message this morning   -  

    Cancelled automatically by Shopee's system

    Order has been cancelled because:

    Seller failed to ship on time.

     

    This happens time and time again ??   often the seller appears to send item even when Shopee cancelled it - often re ordered from Lazada and received order......  when Shopee order is sent 3 or 4 weeks later  ????

  4. Yes 500 mg and 850 mg...........  As always check out the price as some pharmacies charge a lot more than others.

     

    Noticed at my last Hospital visit the person in front of me had 1,000 mg Metformin

    I use the local Government Hospital + get all my pills from them, much cheaper than any pharmacies....  [No Pharmacies  around where I live stock Insulin]

    I 've read a lot about it , and it is best to install Windows first , then linux with grub for dual boot. No need to keep the windows SSD out when installing linux. It is not easy opening the computer and always a risk , with ESD damaging the components.

    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.

    I take my BP daily at home and it can be as low as 108/66 or as high as 132/84. Depends on different factors like am I stressed? Have I just eaten? Have I consumed caffeine?

     

    I was told by a doctor that home BP machines don't work all that well after a year or so. He said if it looked high at home to have the BP checked by a doctor and make the adjustments for the at-home machine. He said if it's below 130 (systolic) you are fine but to keep an eye on it.

    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

  9.  

    Put on Enalapril 20 MG 2x day back in the 1990s in the UK

     been here just over 19 years many Dr here have tried to change  to ? better  ? 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.

  10. 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

    imagine what it might be like chewing used tampons, that's what it was like with the frozen mulberries 

    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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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
