Visit by my niece from the US
sirineou replied to sirineou's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Thank you, Visas and all is being handle by her company's main office do no worries there, I just was not sure if I need to report her stay, I know the Hotel she stays at will report her stay there, Good to know i don't need to do anything it takes a load off from my mind -
My nice is on a far east business trip from the US to inspect some of the factories her company does business with. She will first go to Vietnam for a few days, then come to Thailand for a few days , upon completion of her business in bangkok where she will stay at a hotel, she will have three free days after her inspection to come and visit us in Khon Kaen where she will stay with us for these three days and then depart for Hong Kong . She arrives in Khon Kaen Friday evening, and departs Sunday evening to return to BKK and catch a flight to Hong Kong. Do I need to report her stay with us with immigration and how can I do that is she will be here while they are closed for the weekend.

Not at all, I said it in another post that Biden if he had to, would withdraw after the republican convention. The reasons I gave were were that he was waiting to see how this thing played out in terms of polling and support for him, but as important, petnaps even more so, to have the republicans waste their convention ammunition on him . Him withdrawing right after the republican convention will cheat trump from his post convention bump.

You are of course right. Currently I am on 5mg of amlodipine in the morning and 5 mg of Lisinopril at night that is working well for me averaging 127/63 (67 years old) but during my research I developed concerns about Lisinoprils' contribution to cognitive decline upon the elderly. In a conversation I had with my sister in the US about that ,she mentioned that while vacationing in Greece she came across the combination of amlodipine 5mg valsartan 160 mg hypothiazide 25mg in a one pill form , that worked great for her , in fact she said that she often skipped a day of the med to keep her BP from going too low. She said it was very inexpensive, and she was trying to have some more shipped to her. Hence my interest in it. A one pill would be convenient but as you said three pills would not be the end of the world. Amlodipine and hypothiazide are easy to find and very inexpensive here in Thailand ( free or me in the US with my medicare advantage ppo) but I am not sure about valsartan 160. Af course I will not be self medicating and will discuss the concern over lisinopril , and change med option with my cardiologist here in Thailand next time I see him. Thank you again for your help.

Is amlodipine 5mg valsartan 160 mg hypothiazide 25mg available for sale in Thailand in a one pill form? (under any brand name) It was recommended to me by a friend of mine from Europe, as having been very affective in controlling her BP but I was unable to get any information concerning it's availability when I Googled it. And my next appointment with my cardiologist is now for a few months. Of course I would not make any changes to my medication regiment without consulting with my doctor, but I would like to know if it is available before I make an earlier appointment to see him and inquire about it.

I though everyone was talking negatively about Biden since the debate. How has negative rhetoric about trump increase since the debate? -

For those of you who have lived here for years?
sirineou replied to Hummin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Don't jump the gun!!put in your time and wait until you are ready. Nothing worst than having the time when you retired, but not the funds to do anything. Come to Thailand a few time , the real Thailand not party time Thailand, expose yourself to Thai culture, with all the good and bad, so it will not come as a shock to you when you are living here , reality hits. and you are trapped here because you burned bridges to come here, or back home has moved on. Then when things are not as you had hopped would be, you start blaming the Thais and not yourself for not having adequately prepared. -
Kamala Harris Surges as Top Choice to Replace Joe Biden, Poll Reveals
sirineou replied to Social Media's topic in World News
All good points. Harris brings the black vote to the table, but also Biden administration baggage, but Whitmer brings Michigan and with a Booker VP also the black vote. Also throws the Republican game book out the window . I voted for Biden and contributed money that I could have otherwise used, but he is past his "sell by" date and now has the additional debate debacle baggage to carry. Though he might not have the stamina he certainly has the mental acuity to do the job , and what he lacks in stamina he makes up in age acquired wisdom, and experience. Unfortunately in order to bring these things to the table he has to be invited to dinner, and the republicans will beat him up so bad with the mental acuity issue he would be constantly out of balance, fighting the issue instead of discussing the substance that is his strength, every time he misspeaks, mumbles or loses his train of thought, which I am sure is due to happen, the media will report it, and we will be talking about that instead of the issues. He should had bowed out months ago, should had said, "I did what I said I would do, stabilized the country from this a-hole, and now is time to pass the torch to a new generation to curry on the progress we have made" he could and IMO would had stayed in the background as the elder statesman. Instead now we have this, that I am afraid would forever place an asterisk next to his name. Which is a shame after the stelar career he had in public service. Still time to for him to do the right thing and put country over his own ego. No one is indispensable. It was Charles de Gaulle who said " no one is indispensable! the cemeteries are full of people who once thought were indispensable" yet the world goes on without them, I wish someone would say that to Biden. -
Kamala Harris Surges as Top Choice to Replace Joe Biden, Poll Reveals
sirineou replied to Social Media's topic in World News
She is just as capable as anyone else realistically available at this time, she would make a good president. I would sleep well with her at the helm. I also like Gretchen Whitmer , and she would help bring in Michigan. Of course Haris will help with the black vote. Everyone on the news shows sees to think Biden will be out in a week or two. I think he is staying in because he does not want to go to the NATO Samit a lame duck, and is waiting for the GOP Convention so they would concentrate their fire on him.- 216 replies

Biden should had run after Obama, but he gave up his spot to Hillary as it was probably agreed between the Clintons and Obama for their support when Obama was running, which is why Obama picked Hillary for secretary of state to build up her CV in preparation for a run after his term . Anyway , Hillary's hubris gave us trump the first time and Biden's hubris will give us trump a second time. He needs to step down!!!! and do it soon. He will already be viewed as one of the most successful presidents in history, is legacy is guaranteed, what he is now doing is place an asterisk next to it. The idea that only he can beat trump and only he can do the job of the pinnacle of hubris. He needs to drop out otherwise he can very easily join the hillary club, and undue a stelar career in public service.

Sorry for the very late reply, I have been staying away from this forum, The Baking the soil idea was not mine, as I said I am not an expert in the subject by any stretch of the imagination, and on my previous successful attempt i did not bake the soil. Many people are unsuccessful growing any other then the local variety of tomatoes,it has been regularly reported in this forum, which is why I was excited when I finally had some success. I have learned that the soil in Thailand contains nematodes, or molds that non Thai varieties have no resistance against, and a way around that problem is baking the soil to kill them.Perhaps your success is attributed to using potting soil in containers. As I also said certainly start early fall so that the tomatoes grow in the cooler, dry weather. I started a bit late because I was away, last year I will also start my seeds late August and use the same non baking technique if I am successful again I will continue as I did, if not I will try sterilizing the soil.

BREAKING NEWS! Iran potentially triggers World War 3
sirineou replied to george's topic in The War in Israel
Realy? You have no idea what is in a US embassy , yet you know what is in an Iranian embassy I will give you this. If nothing else , you sure are funny. But you failed to unswore my question. "If military personal, and/or spooks are in a US embassy , does that mean that such embassy is a legitimate military target. FYI: " Wikipedia is a wiki, meaning anyone can edit nearly any page and improve articles immediately.

BREAKING NEWS! Iran potentially triggers World War 3
sirineou replied to george's topic in The War in Israel
So the soverntry of a n embassy is conditional to the opinion of the opposition. Would you suppose there are any millinery personal and or spooks in the American embassy? And if so does that make them a legitimate target for a military attack? By the way, could you please provide a link to your source of who was killed in the attack. It seems you forgot to do so.
