Biden: For Gods sake this man cannot remain in power !
mania replied to Social Media's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
This man seems like a nice enough guy so it is sad to watch this decline into a geriatric haze while holding one of the most powerful positions in the world. This man should be sitting somewhere with his grandchildren not spouting nonsense that is causing worldwide tensions That there are so many still cheer leading this based on some whacked out left wing sense of loyalty is equally disturbing -
National Guard deployed in EL PASO

This is what it comes to under this administration ???? -
Well like I said "I am not saying there are not those that "may have" benefit from a vaccine" But for myself in my condition with lack of other circumstances like a weakened immune system etc like cancer patients etc...Yes in my case it was never a question I wouldn't sail thru this & it would have been preferable not to put this vac in my system But done is done & here we are
-
Hahah so your saying if you take vaccines "THEN" your immune system is defense against those things like Cancer Diabetes you list? No Im guessing just an attempt at sarcasm ???? That aside yes I am quite expert at my health & at 66 am still in excellent health BECAUSE of the care I give my body Daily 3+ hour exercise, Diet low in fat,sugar etc, low cholesterol low BP low triglycerides ( all naturally thank you) no drinking or smoking you know just a self reliant person not a bot looking for the Big Pharma to keep me moving thanks. But you do you ????

I never thought that "But They are All We Got" I was always more willing to exercise my immune system to fight it as i did. I always knew "That" is what I have & it has served me well my whole life. I am not saying there are not those that "may have" benefit from a vaccine but I never considered myself in that group. Yet the way the world went total sky is falling & started blaming those who did not vaccinate as if they were the spreaders or the cause the virus was not dying off quicker. (total nonsense) That is what caused folks like myself to seek the single dose smallest impact to my otherwise healthy system. Because IMO putting that vac in my system was the biggest threat of the whole Covid mess. In hindsight it is a sad story of how humanity reacted & how they responded to this with their finger pointing sky is falling rhetoric. I would not want to be near any of them in a real emergency

Largest fine in History for Pfizer ! $2.3 billion.
mania replied to Social Media's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
2.3 Billion pffft they wont care they will just claim the need of yet another booster to fill that gap ???? Look at how they value profits over lives Look at how they Pay doctors to sell even giving trips & massages? How they overcharge Medicare Take care of yourself as best as you can as it is the last line of your defense. Otherwise you get thrown into this system & your at their mercy -
Ah that makes sense now. I thought Chiang Mai was like 1.2 million & do see it listed that way here
-
I know right? I was just looking at that list the other day & was really surprised at the numbers.

Anything is possible but about floaters they do in fact settle (or your brain eventually copes with it) as I have had a batch in my right eye (and the flashes) & I'm fine now. Just as the US eye doctor told me it would eventually be. In any case be careful with Thai doctors. That you saw the laser repair on screen is no guarantee that it was ever truly needed . Also never expect any Thai doctor to say anything negative about other doctors with the childish defamation laws here Good Luck going forward hope your eyes are ok https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/14209-floaters--flashers

Just finally got infected & recovered after a few days of low grade fever (tested positive on first day) Did fine for three years even traveling the world but it seems Thailand has really under reported their numbers. Here in the country it is pretty rampant. Not that it is a big deal as most have the same symptoms I had but don't test or report it. I tested negative after 7 days I had one J&J vac back in 8/2/21 So that is supposedly expired as they say it is good for 6 months. I only got it because it was a single dose & I figured my body could handle it + I thought there was no other way to travel back then

You were fleeced for that floater (which you still have) The good news is you were not fleeced a second time with the 360 BS Floaters are not a big deal & your brain will eventually deal with it & you won't see them anymore. Also some small flashes of light when you first turn off lights is normal with aging eyes due to these micro tears Sad but true yes Falang enters a Thai hospital & is told you need this NOW is often usually $$$ BS Trust me I flew all the way back to the USA just to be laughed at by real doctors when I told them The famous kidney doctor of Thailand said I need an operation NOW 7 years later I see the laughing doctors in the USA were right as I listened to them & had nothing done. It is a hard to accept fact that even doctors in Thailand will fleece you & worse use your fears to do so. It is when I realized it does not matter in Thailand....street vendors...immigration officers...monks...all cut from the same cloth

EL PASO: 2000 Migrants crossing border daily !
mania replied to Social Media's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
Yes I do & this problem wasn't happening at the borders...in fact quite the opposite -
Yes of course sorry my bad! I don't know why the counting crows/Michelle Branch remake came to mind ????
-
Actually the time we were there was a few weeks ago already CM108 also did a piece on the traffic & how crazy it has gotten but it was in Thai
-
I have seen videos of Doi Ang Khang ! Looks great We ride a lot in the northern areas too
-
Never work here Thai drivers are too selfish to leave an empty lane ????
-
???? I was telling my wife about the counting crows Big Yellow Taxi song they paved paradise put up a parking lot ????

Yes I agree those places were always "busy" but now are basically full gridlock Also we were not going to Nim as it always was a cluster F@3\#! always ! ( My bad for describing that poorly) But instead as I said we were on Canal heading towards Nim direction as we were headed to 700 year stadium, But that aside the Canal road is just full stop. I felt bad for an ambulance as they tried to get thru as obviously they could not. Yes there are some nice new areas outside CM & we did in fact go visit a few considering whether or not we wanted to maybe move back to CM. Some nice homes for good prices actually! But after two trips of a week each we're sad to say giving CM a pass as any future living idea Was nice though as we are cyclist & rode the usual Bhubing Palace & Samoeng Loop etc & those were nice...Suthep climb crowded as heck (a Saturday so expected)& we started before sunrise but nice
-
Yes actually we bought our Chiang Mai Condo in 2004 but lived there only 3-4 months a year till 2012 then full time. So I agree it was very nice back then. Clean not overcrowded & still looked like Thailand Hahah also like you we now have a house in the country in an area we too will not mention ???? Bangkok folks already traveling here a lot to take back to the land type selfies ????

I guess that can be said about almost anywhere but... We lived in Chiang Mai from 2011 till 2016 loved it but sold up & left for various reasons Came back to visit in 2018/2019 & thought it still nice then Covid hit & we did not visit again till now 2022 What a difference! Population/traffic etc has really exploded. Anywhere we went too so long by car. I know it is always faster by scooter & we usually went that way when we lived there but also used out car a lot without problem back then. But now? I mean it is crazy IMHO going along canal road around 3-4pm trying to get to Nimmanhaemin road took literally over an house to go 4km Same if we were in town at various times & tried to go up Chang Phueak crazy traffic with super long waits at stop lights Chang Klan road? What happened? looks like so many places boarded up now & the whole road basically in a state of disrepair So whats going on? Is it just a population explosion? I assume much of the boarded up sections were victims of Covid But overall was saddened to see what is no longer. Even around the moat is just not as well kept anymore ????
