    Yes,  mother's family had hbp and heart problems - especially the males, father's family had prostrate cancers and other cancers especially the males thus I am healthy concious - diet, exeercise, etc.  Brother in law's males all died prior to 40's but he exercised religiously and at 78 he is stlll going so heredity can definitely affect one's life but with proper dieting and exercise and healthy habits one can overcome many of the bad traits that affect one's health.

    No doubt that exercise can help lower BP  many things can.But that not what I was replying to . Below is the  quote. 

    "Bingo.  High blood pressure is of the result of a bad diet and being fat smoking, etc.  "

    An inherently wrong statement. (Pun intended)

    "Family and twin studies estimate that blood pressure, or hypertension, is 30–50% heritable, "

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3612776/#:~:text=Blood pressure (BP) is also,estimates of 30–50%.

    A better question. Is he an adjudicated rapist like Trump?

    IMO those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. 

    Chicken Don supporters are ........I am trying to be polite and think of a kind term but I can't. .

    Misleading chart. The very low employment engineered from the Trump years in are covered by the Investing.com logo. The surge in unemployment in 2020 as anyone who reads the news knows was caused by COVID lockdowns and furloughs. Biden arrived in Jan 2021, when unemployment had dropped from 15 million plus in 2020 down to 6 million +. Unemployment then returned to normal ie under 4 million gradually over 2021 as furlough folk went back to work. It stayed below 4 million for most of Biden's flawed reign and is now back above 4 million. Show us on the chart where in the Trump years prior prior to the COVID lockdown and furloughs unemployment exceeded 4 million. 

    Reasons for fluctuation seem to only be good only when  supporting trump's position.

    Great thanks, yeh I'll ask tomorrow when applying for the Passport, Ps We're in Phuket...

    Make sure you have , the flight ticket showing the departure date and if they cant renew the passport by that day to issue you the emergency travel document because  XYZ reason , (got get back to school, emergency at work, illness in the family etc, )  Best option is to have the passport renewed of course , ask that when the new passport is ready if someone else can pick it up for your son and ship it to him or bring it to him at a later time.

    Where did your wife get her Emergency Travel Doc ? Was it locally or Bangkok ? Many thanks...

    We เot it while outside Thailand online from the Thai consulate,but I am sure you can get it at your local Thai passport renewal office. 

    This is the one where we live in Khon Kaen, form your name I assume you are in Bangkok 

    If you can't find  yours, give this one a call and i am sure they will give you a number to call for your area , Have a thai speaking person call if you have one, they tend to be more helpful .

     02-572-8442 Call Center 24 ชั่วโมง

    Well, you were the writer who first mentioned farts and farting in this thread, which I appreciated.

    You seemed confused by my allusion.

     

    Initially, I was speaking only of the importance of providing supporting evidence for one's arguments.

    No.. I was talking of the importance of providing supporting evidence for one's arguments, after you provided an unsubstantiated opinion. 

     You seemed to agree but still did not substantiate your opinion, 

    When I called you on it, and said " why don't you then support your opinion" you said

    : wait feel one coming up." Not knowing what was "one coming up" I inquired if it was a "fart"  

    To which you posted a ZZ top song. 

    This forum has  departed the weird, is now in the twilight zone. 

     

  7. He needs to live in the same passport he came with.!! otherwise according to his Thai passport he never left. 

       My wife leaves the US, on her US passport, enter Thailand on her Thai, leaves Thailand with her Thai and then again enters the UD with her US passport.

    Your sons problem s essialy solved. All he need to do is get an Emergency travel document.

    That's what my wife did when her Thai passport was expired but needed to travel.

    Do you take your own blood pressure mornings and evenings?

    If not, how do you know whether ANY medicatio is working?

    You need to take a reading at different time of the say and average it out. 

    I have a Bluetooth O ron BP machine , that automatically downloads all my readings  to the Omron app on my iPhone that provides me with a comprehensive record , and charts of all of my readings. When I go to my Cardiologist I simply give him my phone . The readings they take at their office are notoriously unreliable.

    Yes.

    I agree.

    Supporting evidence is so much more convincing than collaborating argument.

     

    (As I always say, when presenting a paper, one can anticipate that there will be those who ask one for supporting evidence.)

     

     

    Why don't you then?
