@simon43 At a guess, I suspect you injured a ligament, that simply never healed correctly, after repeated agitation/injury.   Most do heal themselves over time, if allowed, others simply do not, as the tear is too much to heal by itself.   Since intense pain when extended when behind your back would indicate that.   

 

Less chance it's a tendon, as they do heal better than ligament, and don't require surgery as much.

 

Disclaimer:  I am NOT a 

There are no ligaments in the middle of the biceps.

Sorry about your wife!

You could move into an apartment and sell the house now while she's still alive and use the money from the sale for the retirement visa. 

To say it with the words of Mark Moran in the first season of the Australian TV-show Underbelly, what's the point of offing someone who owns you money?!

So he sustained injuries after being rescued. 

 

Could you please tell us how?

It's just bad writing. He sustained the injuries because he almost drowned. You lungs are coated on the inside by a film that keeps your lungs from sticking together. When water enters your lungs it can wash the film off and then your lungs will stick together which will cause you to suffocate. It's called secondary drowning. That's why it's so important to always bring people who almost drowned to a hospital because this can happen up to three says after a person has almost drowned. 

Ok, now it gets fishy. First he said he was attacked by the Yakuza members and then got the knife to defend himself and now he says he was in the kitchen? 

Changing your story like that is never a good sign.

Unless you want to make the cookies yourself, which is fairly easy if you have an oven a stove and some pots, I'd just buy cookies and if it it's a large one I'd start with one quarter of it on an empty stomach and then wait. Usually they start kicking in after about 45 minutes to an hour. If after 2 hours nothing has happened I'd wait until the next day and double the dosage. Do NOT eat more on the same day because otherwise it might flatten you for a while when both cookies kick in. If you eat them after a meal it can take 4 hours or longer for them to kick in. 

I got some recipes off the internet. The chocolate cookie recepie I've used called for 7 grams of weed and it should've given me only 18 cookies, which seemed way too high a dosage. So I've doubled all the ingredients, but used only 5 grams of weed. I then smeared it on a baking sheet, flattened and evend it out and cut it into 90 cookies. I gave one to a friend of mine who hadn't consumed any weed for quite some time. He took one third and was nicely stoned. He recently ate a whole one and got very high. I usually eat 2 at once. 

5 grams divided by 90 cookies is 0.055 grams per cookie. The initial recipe would've been 0.38 grams, which is way too much, if you're just looking for nice little buzz.  If you buy some, ask them how much is in one cookie then you can just divide the cookie accordingly. As I've said before, I'd start small and work my way up.

Where is it that people live lives without money worries?  

Exactly! That guy is totally delusional!

    You are similar to the Thais in Israel , you live in Thailand because you get more money for yourself (because its cheaper) and its also more dangerous to live in Thailand because the likelihood of dying are higher then back home

Wrong on all levels! I don't live in Thailand anymore and I made/make more money back at home than in Thailand and the risk of dying in Thailand is pretty much the same as back home. I never felt particularly at risk of dying there, despite riding my motorbike there on a daily basis. 

Also, the reason for me moving to Thailand had nothing to do with how much money I'd be making there.

There's a difference between surviving and living a life without money worries. But as you seem to think that Thais should just accept their lot and not try and better themselves and their families you should try living on B300 per day.

Ok, you obviously don't want to get it! That's fine. No skin off my nose, but I'd rather not live or work in Israel or the Gaza Strip and stay alive because now none of the ones who died will be making any money for their families. Like that's better than making less money in Thailand and staying alive!

Maybe try dieting or increasing the number of horses. Or better yet consider yourself lucky that you weren't born into poverty and having substandard education.

It's perfectly possible to survive in Thailand while being born into poverty as evidenced by literally tens of millions of people.

How's about Cockatiel...?

Don't know about those. I have my parrot knowledge only because of a guy who has some and talks about them on his YouTube channel. They're cool animals and some of them can learn to speak, but they have special needs that need to be met otherwise they feel bad and get nasty. 

If you really want a bird I would just google which bird species are best suited to be kept as pets or search for videos about that on youtube, single out the species that appeal to you the most and then watch lots of videos on youtube about how to care for them and their characteristics and eventually you'll find something that's good for you! 

Having said that, what a lot of bird keepers neglect is that the species they keep usually fly I don't know how many kilometers a day in the wild. If you want to keep your bird in a cage then this is literally like prison for them. It would be better to get a smaller bird that you might be able to let fly around the house  or if you have a large garden build a big enclosure for them with a special met and poles or a dome like structure. That would be perfect because then you could keep a group of them, plant some plants and small tress in the cage and they could fly around in it.

Some folk can work anywhere to feed their family without mum nearby, how about you......😘

My mom died in 1982 and I have been managing quite well since then. Thanks for asking! I still wouldn't go to work in Israel out of principle and my life is worth more than the money I could be making there. Are you able to comprehend that? 

You sure about that? Parrots are EXTREMELY noisy and earpiercingly loud. Your neighbors will hate you in no time. Parrots require high quality food, which usually is expensive and I'm not even sure you can get that in Thailand. They're extremely messy eaters, which means 90% of their expensive food lands on the floor and goes to waste. They need a lot of stimulation and toys to keep them happy. The toys are expensive and don't last long. And while they're fun when they're juveniles, a lot of them get nasty when they become adults and they can do some serious damage when they bite. Also, if you ever have to inject them with medication they're gonna hate you for like 6 months afterwards. Parrots are OK if you have the money, no immediate neighbors and if can give them the attention they need. If you don't fulfill these requirements then please get another species of bird!

A very simplistic set of assertions. Most species, in terms of numbers,  act as a collective, with no individual actions, bar that for the collective. The collectives may be said to have a combined survival instinct, but not the individuals, even this is challengeable as trampling red ants does not get a combined reaction, merely a load of dead ants. 

.

Yes, it is simplistic. No one has said that the meaning of life has to be complicated! You can twist and turn it for as long as you want, but it's survival of the species, everything else is secondary to that. 

By the way, ants are all about protecting their queen so she can reproduce, just like bees.

That is not the meaning of my life, either consciously or unconsciously.  I am far too selfish, self centered and uncaring  to worry about the continuation of humanity, and frankly, I feel that the Universe would be better of without such a savage uncontrolled species, spreading its evil and intolerance over the cosmos. 

Mate, you can take any species on this planet and it's always find food, find shelter, find a suitable mate and reproduce so the species can be kept alive. What you described is the luxury you have because we're not hunters and gatherers anymore. BUT, generally speaking it's still about survival of species! 

Always start uncoiling from the tail end of the snake and you're golden. Works with large snakes, too.

In a nutshell: survival of species, everything else comes secondary to that.

Aren't you a charm?! 

The reason I wrote this is because the number of victims seemed to be awfully low, thank God, for a terrorist attack. Especially when the guy had an assault rifle! Happy now?

Are you serious?

A Tunisian kills two arbitrary Swedish football fans in Brussels?

He is on the flight but 99% identified from a confession video on the net.

Claiming to be inspired by ISIS.

Swedes targeted as revenge for Koran burning in Sweden.

A denied asylum seeker that should have been evicted.

Same s.it everywhere.

No need to get your knickers in a twist! I wrote this when there was still very little information. "Only" two dead when he had an assault rifle just seemed a bit low for a terrorist attack! 

Sounds more like an assassination rather than a terrorist attack, if you ask me. 

All the 10K wallet rally is, is a voting bribe for the poor. It's sooooooo obvious!
