I once counted 30 plus Burmese getting out of/off a pickup in Sattaheep.

Did you fall asleep? 

How is it working?

Mob mentality is not Thai thing , it's a human thing . The above scenario has occurred and could with variations occur anywhere.

It's easy. Women are partners and not slaves. 50/50 means just that. A normal woman appreciates everything a man does, if he does them. If you cleaned the kitchen, she wouldn't have to show you she cleaned it. If you picked up "your" clothes from the floor, which is a place they don't belong, she wouldn't have to complain.

Good advice. I will think about it.

Are you helping her around the house? Cooking some meals, doing the wash , not leaving your clothes on the floor for her to pick up, taking her out to eat, letting her watch some of her shows on TV, etc etc?

All these and more

, As I said but don't hurt repeating  , I am a terrific guy and a wonderful person.

She just loves to annoy me.Right before I go in the kitchen she always shows me how clean it is. Like I am blind. 

and always complains about my cloths on the floor, like it is my fault gravity is a thing on this planet.  

My wife works diligently at annoying me 

When we lives in the US , she worked , and annoyed me remotely from her job most of the day. , 

but now that I am retired  and we are living in Thailand full-time, she stays at home so she can annoy me full time. 

I don't know why she does this , because I am terrific guy and a wonderful person.

I am 77. Like you I walk 6 kms 7 days a week, lift weights every 3rd day (light with lots of reps to avoid injury), do core exercises for 1 hour on the days I don't lift weights - my BP has remained the same except my resting heart rate has increased about 6 points over the years.  I used to be a runner for 50 years and heart rate used to be lower and during physicals doctor always asked if I was a runner.  As for your juicing - reasearchers indicate that will lower the fiber from those veggies but some people still have great blood work that are juicers.  You might thinks about adding some garlic or garlic supplements to a daily meal.  Some people have found this does help lower BP.  Proper breathing can also lower BP so maybe try some deep breathing exercises - helps the heart to relax more too.  Good luck and don't slow down too much - we need to keep an active lifestyle and healthy eating as long as we can.

Thank you. 

I also adhere to the "Use it or lose it"  thinking, and as we get older it gets so easy to lose it, and so hard to get it back. 

But as the saying goes "I got nothing against old age, I hope to die of old age "

Measure the pickup bed. This is Thailand, you can fit 2 cows, 8 men, 3 ladies, 55 cases of water, two trees worth of mangoes, lumber for a sala, 12 bags of rice and a dog on top to monitor things.

What kind of dog?

Actually, researchers of note, especially Dr. William Li, doctor of medicine, heart specialist and researcher says that diseases of all types that cause deaths of people before their time (what ever that is defined as) and he mentions the 5 leading causes of early deaths, can be prevented and in some cases cured by diet and healthy habits (exercise, cleanliness, sleep, etc.).  But, look at society today, developed countries have so many fast  and unhealthy foods while healthy foods are available yet overweight and obese people are the norm today and the big pharmas love it as they continue to reap record profits from those sick people.  Manufacturers of unhealthy foods use artificial coloring and taste without care of the negative health effect caused by those ultraprocessed "foods".  We have been told by experts in laboratories that smoking and drugs of all kinds can destroy our bodies yet people still spend $$$ on both.  People eat unhealthy foods because they say it tastes good even though they are constantly told that those foods are bad for their health.  My feelings anyway sorry if one doesn't agree with me.

Again no doubt that lifestyle changes can positively affect health outcomes.

I am 67 walk several KM 4-5 times a week or ride my bike , work out in the gym, and do laps in the pool.  I enjoy a mostly Mediterranean diet, and take supplements. No Processed foods.   For breakfast I am Juicing it ( Tomato, beets, carot, celery.and a dash of tabasco. 

Yet I have elevated BP. 

I am highly offended offended when someone calls me lazy .

These are some of the question one needs to ask when thinking about the issue. 

Does cholesterol affect BP? Do stress hormones affect BP? Does physiology affect BP? Do any of these things have a big genetic  component? Can diet and exercise eliminate them?

Does aging affect BP, can diet eliminate aging? 

I no longer even watch the games or pay attention to them. A huge commercial enterprise IMO.

Their should be returned to the country of their origin, and should be partly financed by a fee paid by each participating country. The fee should be means tested and based on national GDP.  There should also be a section for independent athletes that should be free, except for a small administrative fee. 

And end all these nonsense.

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%.

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.
