  1. UFOs: Is the government hiding something? Yeah - creating mass hysteria. Ordo ab chao
  2. Exactly. I post my annual SSA 7162 (Are You Still Alive) via regular post. In the past I did it twice using registered and it took over 2 months, and the tracking showed it got hung up between the International Airport in NY and then again (for weeks) in Wilkes-Barr, Pennsylvania which was it destination. The post office just sat on it for weeks.
  3. What do you mean "I think." EMS is trackable. You should know exactly where it went and where it got held up. https://track.thailandpost.co.th/?lang=en
  4. A registered letter from Thailand to Wilkes-Barr, PA USA took 2 months. That problem wasn't on the Thai side which took less than 48 hours to transit Thailand and get loaded on a flight to the US. If it's registered you can track it. Find out where it got held up. My guess - not in Thailand. Personally, if something is important? Use a private courier or EMS. Registered is only good for stuff you don't care about time-wise.
  5. He and his partner seriously need to consult a medical specialist about his diabetes. From what I'm reading, neither have a clue regarding how to manage diabetes. Just went back to see if this was post number 1 on AN. But its not so the OPs been around. OP - take your partner and go see a diabetes specialist.
  6. The issue he is having may have nothing to do with diabetes, although having diabetes puts him at risk of complications. In this case address the symptoms of both the penis problem and the diabetes. Dude needs to find a different doctor imho.
  7. If he had type 1 diabetes he would have know years ago. If his doctor said he doesn't know what type of diabetes he has? Find a specialist and dump the other doctor.
  8. Guava is loaded with sugars and carbs. Not ideal diabetes food. Avocodo is fat and diabetes friendly. Keto is another way to address diabetes. Short term Keto. I generally do cycle 4 to 6 weeks on and back to normal eating. Your mileage may vary. Caveat - I'm not a medical expert and this is nothing but my personal anecdotal advice. Always consult a doctor.
  9. He's diabetic but isn't eating like a diabetic. Have him get education about his disease. Type 2 diabetes can be controlled and reversed. If he isn't monitoring his blood sugar daily, then get a blood sugar monitor (yeah, he'll need to prick his finger every day but it barely hurts). Also have him get his blood tested at a lab monthly to measure his A1C levels. And make some lifestyle changes including exercise and dietary changes. If he gets serious about it, his A1C level should change over time (to the better). If you want to watch his blood sugar come back into normal ranges? Fast*. *Caveat - I'm not a medical expert and this is nothing but my personal anecdotal advice. Always consult a doctor.
  10. Buy some gauze and cut it in lengths. Wrap around the shaft below the head and then pull the foreskin over it (sorry for the graphic description but?). Do this three or four times a day or if the gauze gets damp or wet. He just needs to wick the dampness away so the skin isn't a breeding ground for bacteria. Have him wash his friend with Betadine (Iodine/Provolone solution) in-between dressings. Have him save himself the pain and money. Speaking from about 45 years of experience. Caveat - I'm not a medical expert and this is nothing but my personal anecdotal advice. Always consult a doctor.
  11. Next up, they will rehabilitate methamphetamine addicts at temples. Oh wait a minute. Our last monk at our village temple just got busted for possession of yaba (meth). Currently derobed and out of jail on bail awaiting trial next month where he's looking at a couple of years in prison unless he flips on his sources. The another temple about 5 km away had a monk who was hospitalized because his liver was shot from drinking Thai whiskey. He was actually a friend who had lapsed. So Buddhist temples as rehabilitation centers? Only if they clean up there own backyard's first.
  12. Actually, the planet is entering an "era of global 'climate change' hyperbole that is boiling over."
  13. Henry Kissinger. The quote off the top of my head is, "The US has neither friends or enemies, just interests." I've stated before that that statement regarding each country's "interests" applies to all countries, not just the United States, especially as they apply the each countries foreign policy objectives in the terms of 'power projection' - economic, military, and ideological.
  14. Anyone who states that there dog would "never hurt a fly" should be slapped silly and their dogs taken away from them. They don't have a clue regarding dog behavior.
  15. Phuket Airport to create area for all registered taxis to pick up passengers Soon to be referred to as The Fight Club.
  16. ฿฿฿Cha-Ching฿฿฿ PIA + Taxi Mafia - 1 plus a whole lot of incoming ฿฿฿฿฿฿฿฿฿ Foreign Tourist - 0 plus a whole lot of outgoing ฿฿฿฿฿฿฿฿฿ Enriching yourselves at the expense of foreign tourist? Priceless I warn people I know away from Phuket. Getting ripped off immediately after deboarding the plane isn't a good way to start a vacation. There are too many other better places to go in Thailand.
  17. Local residents intervened, restraining the aggressive dog by tying its mouth and feet, resulting in its unfortunate death, presumably due to suffocation. Now there's karma in action. If a pitbull ever attacks anyone you know. Tie it's mouth shut. Karma will do the rest. "We just restrained the animal," and no authority figure will give you flack. If you tie their mouths shut, they will over heat and die. I'm a dog lover, but dogs bred for aggressiveness who attack anyone should be put down. But that never happens in Thailand. And I'm not a pitbull hater. I've come across some simply wonderful pitbulls, and some really nasty ones as well. In this case? Karma well served. The next victim may have been a child.
  18. Chiang Mai court convicts dog killer: A justice victory for popular campus pet 6 months? Good.
  19. How old are you. Once your prostate enlarges, yep, you dribble. Then join the club. It's just a fact of life for a significant number of men. Why? I don't think that any one has ever explained the mechanics no less a way to keep it from happening. But you'll find lot's of support here. Welcome to Club Dribble. You're among friends!
