I see a super-hero movie plot developing.............

Famous Expat Lies: "I'll respect you in the morning." The next day: "Man did I have a good time with that whore!"

Price isn't an issue. My wife's health is what is important.

My wife is borderline Type 2 diabetic and she checks her blood daily and modifies her diet to get her Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) reading lower. Her last FBS test at the local hospital was very good. However. I bought a Sinocare FBS monitoring device on Lazada a couple of years back. The primary problem with this brand of blood sugar monitors is that I can't find the calibrating liquid that show you how accurate you're strips are. You should be able to calibrate the device to a standardized sugar level and then add/subtract the difference based on the reading of your testing strips. I've noticed that the older the testing strips are, the higher the blood sugar reading. Without the ability to calibrate the strips? You can't tell how accurate the actual readings are. Can anyone recommend a brand of blood sugar testing devices that can be calibrated to a known blood sugar standard so we can get accurate FBS reading for my wife. The primary issue here is having a device that can be calibrated so we can get accurate reading. Background: I've got two bottles of Sinocare strips. Both my wife and I tested using a test strip from each bottle. There was about a 75 point difference in the reading between the different bottles of strips. So - being able to calibrate to a "known sugar level" is imperative to get accurate reading. Supposedly Sinocare has a calibrating fluid, but I can't find it online. I'd rather use a device where I can find test strips and calibrating fluid at a local pharmacy instead of ordering online. Thanks!

Riddle me this - What the hell difference does the sexual orientation of a motorcycle fatality victim have to do with --- anything??? ???? I know a number of short-haired, small-breasted women who don't wear makeup in our village. None of them are "Tomboys." If you looked at old pictures of my wife in her youth you could say she looked like a Tomboy. So - in the opinion of the on-site reporter, the victim "looked" like a Tomboy. What difference does it make? Call the wrong woman a Tomboy and you could end up in a defamation suit.

Anutin dashes hopes for e-cigarette legalization. Translated: Anutin makes the tobacco monopolies happy.

Seatbelts. RIP

So he picked the weakest person in the affair instead of confronting the guy she was bonking.

Well, the Thai authorities will throw him in prison of a long time. When the inmates rape him they'll tell him that they didn't mean it.

Find a new boyfriend. The old one will be in prison for awhile.

That would have been my first mistake. ???? And this is a great idea. I'll have my wife contact the guy who has been doing the general contracting for us over the years (a man in our village who sets up my wife's building projects for us) and have him give us an estimate for replacement value of the houses and outbuildings. What about things like the concrete walls around our property? Can those be included? Are there things that can't be included in the valuation? For example, if there is an earthquake and my carport fall on the car and motorcycle, can these be included in the valuation?

How interesting? ???? Thanks!

To be honest? Outfits like this that got raided are probably the tip of the iceberg. If you ever eat "luuk chin" meatball they always have a consistency that doesn't resemble meat. My wife likes them but I tend to stay away from them. If I roll pork into a meatball, it looks like ground pork, it smells like ground pork when cooked, and it tastes like ground pork. My experience with 100% pork "luuk chin" meatballs is that they are tasteless and have the consistency of rubber. Lessons learned: Make your own meatballs. Then you know what is in them.

Mods - put this wherever it best fits as a topic. Thanks.

Back in the US is was relatively easy to get an estimate of the value of your property by hiring someone to assess the property value. I don't know anyone who does that here. Anyway, I sort of got a wake-up call after the major earthquake in Turkey and Syria that has killed 40K people. I'd like to purchase property insurance, but I honestly don't know the value of the property. I could have figure it out 10 years ago, but we have done significant modifications to the property and have added a guest house and car port plus renovating the existing "Thai house" which wasn't much more than a cement two-bedroom house with cement floors before we started the renovations, and over the last 10 years I'm sure land prices have increased. To purchase the insurance the insurer wants to know the property value and the value of the contents of the house. I'm stumped. I don't want to over-insure or under-insure. Any suggestion on how to valuate the property value as well as the home's contents???

Most of these people are psychologically damaged and will remain so for years to come. Inordinate fear of a virus that primarily kills very old people and whom the vast majority, if they contract it, will have flu or cold symptoms and will recover just like you do with flu and colds if you're in reasonable good health - that's the majority of the population. But - the media and government keeps stoking the fear, and the fearful keep wearing masks. Honestly. Look at your "leaders" nowadays. Maskless although they may surround themselves with masked commoners. So essentially masking is a sign of status and power. Those with status and power don't wear them; the commoners are required to don their symbols of subservience. I don't wear them unless confronted and I need something. Then I put it on, and once away from whomever confronted me? I take it back off. I fully expect most Thais to wear masks for the rest of their lives.

Which hospital?

Where?

When you own your own home and are debt-free. Life is good here.

The locals just walk up into the mountains and set them on fire - every year. Nobody gives a **** as everyone heads to the mountains during the rain season to collect Het Tawp and other mushrooms in the cleared underbrush.

What paperwork will immigration need to do a 60 day extension based on marriage? I used to do my marriage extensions in April but somehow (for what ever reasons) that has crept back to the first week in March. What would I need to get a 60 day extension of stay. I'd rather do the annual extension in April or May.

Depending on the shop. Some shops will require ID which makes me think that their is now a Thai law in place, which from a government position makes sense as gold prices go up as fiat is debased. Then the government wants their share of the capital gains even though all you did was purchase an asset that maintained its nominal value. Anyway, just saying. Some shops require ID. Why? I'm not really sure.

<deleted> are you talking about. Don't chime in with utter nonsense. Your spouting racial BS. Don't.

Ya-wanna-know-something? Yesterday: Big bag of lettuce - 10 THB Big bag of cilantro - 10 THB BIG bag of onions - 10 THB Move to rural Thailand. <wink>

Thailand isn't the US. 100% Stevia!! But it's not. And the Thai guberment isn't going to crash the corporate party. So? You can not trust labeling here. But? Eat healthier. Cut sugar 100%. Or????? But Stevia from iHerb.com
