I seem to remember a lot of rain in the rainy season.  How come they haven't figured out how to contain it?

Yeah, I think sugar is a problem as they put it in and on everything here.  I certainly avoid it in coffees and try and keep smoothies to a minimum.  Dairy and booze not an issue these days.  Was thinking to try and not eat UNTIL early evening as a method!  Just some kind of method to reduce intake.  

Intermittent fasting works well.  Keep you 'window of eating' to 4-5 hours, fasting the rest of the day.  I tend to do that naturally, especially, when it is so hot here!

I read all these comments about how my knees are going to suffer from jogging.  

 

Was man not 'designed' to run? Are knees a design fault?

 

I have done plenty of cycling over the years, which I'm sure has strengthened my knee joints.  I haven't done much running or jogging over those years, so no past injuries or excessive wear and tear on my knee joints.

 

My knees are fine, my bones are fine.  My heart is fine.  I have normal BP.  I do not have diabetes.  I do not subscribe to the idea of slowing down as you get older.  

 

Slowing down and taking it easy is one reason why you feel older!

Oh I wasn't trying to say slow down, just that there seems to be exercises that are easier on your knees than running, that actually strengthen them than debilitate them.  But it's your body!  :)

People were looking to resell for more?  What a horrible unhealthy product anyway.

Why is he resisting arrest?

Moto riders fly by with impunity, constantly taking risks. I really could care less if they die, just don't do so and damage my car in the process.

I think it is far more likely to be simple choking. Quick application of the Heimlich manouver may well have made the difference.

Reasons?

1.He was thai and familiar with som tum. no one else in the household suffered

2. 'whacked on the back and noodles flew out'

3. 'started gagging.'

 

Som Tum Bpoo has tiny crab shell shards throughout.  If I was going to be a betting man, I'd say a pice clawed its way into his throat.

I saw the Loch Ness monster in my backyard.  Who do I call?  I think Buddha was riding him!

I have never once been to Khao San Rd, nor do I intend to, far more interesting places in BKK.

I've lived here since 1992 and have been to Khao San once and Patpong about 4 times.  Enough for me!

This particular one is pretty good.  Clean, high quaintly food.  Wish more Thai markets had the quality and hygiene of this one.  Whether it's #4 in the world?  Well, I don't know about that.  I love Guadalajara's main market - enormous and so interesting.

That area must have guards, monitoring, etc.  The plaque couldn't have been changed without the aid of the govt, right?

Good, ทำหน้าที่ให้ถูกต้อง, serves them right! Why can't individuals be more respectful?

A few years back, my friend was almost blinded after water was shoot at his eye.
 

I got doused by a super soaker a few years back, the pressure shot the dirty water deep into my ear - got a horrible inner ear infection that took about two months to fully get rid of.  I wasn't even playing, just trying to get by.

9-13K for a six day trip to Japan?  If those people are really that dumb then maybe they deserved what they got.

Black Out Drunk.  At lest he didn't run over a cop and move to England for some jolly good fun!

Money talks.. bank accounts grow.. people forget.. 
 
Do you remember the name of the Benz driver that killed 2 college students without looking it up? I don't. 

Many don't follow any rules, take many risks, not clothed properly or with helmets.  Can't be a surprise to them...

I just bought a package again.. and I normally can eat it all. Just want to try it again to see if i can live with it. (or not). It would be a nice filler. 

 

I used them 5-6 years ago when i wanted to lose my weight.. now going to give them a test again. 

'Dry fry' them in a pan, maybe just a smidgen of oil, until they lose most of their moisture, about 10 minutes or so on high.  Then add your fixings.  It makes them less rubbery.

I agree with you. This "no pain - no gain" attitude is very dangerous and more often than not counterproductive.

 

A more gentle approach is best. He's not going to compete in any competitions.

I much prefer quick walking, biking, or the elliptical machine, or swimming.  I see way too many guys at the park I go to who have both knees all taped up and are still running.  What's the point of doing that if you are ruining your knees?  That's why I like biking, it actually builds up your knees and it's just as aerobic if you do it right.

Would be good to see a total boycott of conscription by all youth until the army can get their shit together and show how they have evolved.  I can't imagine parents ever wanting their sons to join such a heartless and ill-organized mess of a regime.

Sorry kids, we had fun,

Seeing nice things in a pickup on the run.

And then the driver in a rush,

Flipped us over and we were mush.

Let's just say that those at the very top of the social pyramid here can get away with murder.

Ah well, road pizza is wha they are.  Just don't get near my car with your death machines.

methinks poking in the nose and using the result as a base for a theory out of thin air is...

Methinks you protest too much!

Time to face the judge little boy.  Your time is up.

I belive that there is ongoing research at a think tank somewhere in Patpong or it might be Nana Plaza into the actual IQ of a Thai. So far the results have been cloudy at best as finding a working brain to measure have proven to be futile.

The Thai people I work with and live with are all much higher IQ than 100.  Just depends where you hang out and who you choose to hang out with.  Those foreigners who have no interest in getting to know educated Thais but prefer the environments of streetwalkers and their ilk will probably indeed enjoy the company of sub 100 IQ individuals.  But those types of foreigners enjoy that kind of company because it does not challenge them and they actually enjoy feeling superiority, even though they complain about their stupidity all the time.
