  1. O.k I get the message.

     

    But what I want to do is is put one junction box on an existing wire and taking

    one wire off of it and put a socket/outlet on it.

    Junction box--wire--wall socket.

     

    So it will be 3 wires that I have to join together not 4.I have wire nuts and the above wire connectors.

    Which is best or should I buy some other product online.

     

  2. In Europe green and yellow striped is earth so I presume it's the same in Thailand

    but we don't have grey and black so I was wondering if anybody knows what the Thai colors represent

    Yes,connecting the extension to the original wire is a bad idea because have different wire types.

    The original wire has one wire that is hard core and the extension doesn't.

     

    Sorry I can't send photos,never learnt that one.

     

    Me Missus uses extension leads like crazy.She has them going every where.Extension leads

    pluged into extension leads.

    Inthe west we frown on thatbdon't we.For what reason exactly...........fires

  3. In the twisted ball there are 3 colors of wire,green and yellow striped,grey and black.

    What do these colors mean.

    If I was to plug in the extension it would use one of the spaces in the all ready overloaded

    3 flat pin Thai socket.

    I want to take away the Thai socket and replace it with my extension socket but I ddin't know how to connect them.The original wire is flat shaped and the lead for the extension is round but I think they both have 3 wires.

    Should I try to connect the lead with the original wire or connect the existing wire to the socket

    itself.

     

    I have a few junction boxes and wire connectors lying around.

  4. I had  a house built last year but ran out of money before it was finished so

    when the electrician was here I just got him to put in 3 wall sockets/outlets.

     

    He brought the electricity into the house and the meter and fuse box(don't know the

    American English for fuse box) look fine.Then he took a single wire coming out of the

    fuse box and it all looks fine until that wire becomes 3.He didn't use a junction box or

    anything,he just joined the 4 wires together with insulation/electrical tape.

    So there is a big ball of wires and insulation tape which looks totally unprofessional to say

    the least.

     

    Is this safe.Does it just look ugly but is actually safe and sound and should I just let well

    enough be or should I try to put something better in it's place.

     

    Then when he put in the wall sockets he put in 3 tiny Thai sockets which can take 3 of the tiny flat

    2 pin Thai plugs.I want to change these to something decent.I have an extension lead which I bought

    and I'm wondering if I can use the socket/outlet on it for a wall socket.

    It's the best socket I've seen in Thailand.Three universal sockets in it all with lights and all good quality,

    They hold the plugs really well.

    Can I do that,can I connect the extension lead which is also a surge protector to the wall and to the existing

    wire.

     

    As you can tell I'm not an electrician and I know that the first thing you will say is get an electrician.

    I live in the mountains and it's really difficult to find a good one.There are electricians but they are cowboys.

    I actually think the safest thing to do would be for me to do the job with the help of this forum.

     

     

  5. Thanks Sheryl,

    I haven't seen them in Thailand either just people reviewing then on YouTube.I presume they are for sale online.

     

    They say that they are better than going for a soft reline to your dentist and that you don't have to use any Pollident with them.

     

    I would love to have one of these products reccomened before I choose one based on youtube reviews.

  6. I got my first pair of dentures a few months ago.They are terrible.

    I have to use pollident before every meal.

     

    I just used a small town dentist not a specialist but I know that I can go back to him for

    a soft reline but I see on youtube that there are many products to DIY soft reline.

     

    Can anybody maybe recommend one of these products or should I go back to the dentist.

  7. I would love an expert to take over this computer.

    It is a cheap netbook but I got the Thai Guy in the shop where I bought it

    to put in an ssd,thinking he couldn't mess it up,but he did.

     

    He used Spico or something as drivers which I'm told is not good.

     

    I would love someone to take over this computer and straighten out the driver issue.Also the ssd won't support rapid mode.

     

    This is all beyond my limitations but I would love someone to fix all these isues

    but it would have to be done remotely because there are no farangs where I live.

  8. Thanks livram but thats the kind of advice I've got before and I

    tried to follow it but never got anywhere.

     

    This time I'm trying to get specific instructions on how to remove items

    one by one

    So when I right click on a video file which is set to open with potplayer the first few lines on the context menu are

    open

    play with potplayer

    add to pot player playlist,

    f some one could walk me through how I can remove these few first I would be very thankful .

     

    And thanks for humoring me with this simplistic post,you're very gracious.

     

  9. My right click contect menus are really long and I prefer them really short.

    I have tried to do this before but could never figure it out.

     

    People have given me the names of programs to use but I could never get them to work,

    so I need to ask for instructions line by line to get these menus under comtrole.

  10.  I think I've been taking gabapentin for about 9 months

    at 1800mg a day so I should definitely try to ween my self off of it slowly.

     

    I still haven't found alternative medicines for both gaba and eventually amitripuline.

     

    Krathom sounds good but it's illegal in Thailand.Does any one know what the

    out come would be if they found some Krathom being shipped to me in the post.

    Hypothetically speaking you understand.

     

    Or any thing that is less harmful than Gaba or amitripiline.

  11. yes..........<deleted> big pharma.........and the doctors that believe them.

     

    Do you have any thoughts on kratom.......

     

    Also in a few weeks I will start to try to get off Gabapentin if I keep improving like this.....do you have any expierience with Gabapentin.

  12. Thanks Guys,

    I feel much better today.I feel "clean and sober".A haze has lifted.

    Like "Lumbini " says the pain is still there but some how I feel better.

     

    I know addiction can play strange tricks on the mind but I really feel like I wasn't addicted to the mood altering effects of Tramadol but I have been fooled by addiction before.

     

    Day 6 was definitely a turning point

  13. The pain is all over.No runny nose or diarrhea.

    I took a little Imodium twice over the last few days.

    I feel good in the mornings clear headed and energetic.

    But the pain builds up quickly.

     

    If this is day 5 I should probably expect some more pain  for another few days

    I would love something to ease the pain in the meantime.

     

     

     

  14. I stopped taking Tramadol  about 4 days ago

    I used to take about 4 to 5 hundred mg per day.

     

    I have fibromyalgia,that's why I was taking it.

     I have gone through  the worst of the withdrawals but there is still pain

    all over my body.

     

    I don't know if the pain is opiate withdrawals or fybromyalgia.

    I replaced Tramadol with Tynalol 8 hours and I'm still taking Gabapentin. and Amitripiline.

     

    Does anyone know how long the pain from withdrawals   will last or how to tell if the pain

    is from opiate withdrawals or  fibromyalgia.Or somebody might know a better medicine than what I'm taking.

     

     

     

  15. Ikea have writen back to say they don' do online purchases.

    So that's that.

     

    So where else can I find this type of mattress.

    There is a Homepro and a Central in Chiang Rai

    would they have one,must check and see.

     

    Where else..........Lazada......Ebay......

  16. Ikea have a lot of delivery options on there web site so I wrote to them.

    I suppose I won't get a reply untill after Song kran.

     

    Does KERRY actually do pick ups if you contact them....

     

  17. Yes that sounds exactly whet I'm looking for.......

    but there is no Ikea in Chiang Rai.

     

    I nearly would go to Bangkok instead of buying these 15 inch

    monstrosities for 10 to 20 grand.

     

    Any one know a way to get the ikea mattress to Chiang Rai without

    going to Bangkok.

    Or some where else that sells the same thing.

  18. A few years ago I bought a mattress in Taiwan.

    It was made of 3 layers of foam and abut 3 inches high;

    It was really comfortable.

    I am looking for something similar.Some companies squash their mattresses

    into a small box and ship it to you.At least they do in America.

     

    Does anybody know where I can get one of these mattresses.

    3 to 6 inch high and super comfortable.

     

    Preferably online but I would actually travel to get one if

    I had to...
