  1. That's for the "heads up" as I guess I'll get my iHerb orders in while I still have some on hand. I wonder why there would be a supply issue here in SE Asia?
  2. @Sheryl Are you aware of any changes with the Thai FDA that would cause Lazada and Shopee to drop the product? ????
  3. How interesting. Purchased some about three weeks ago from Lazada. Now. <poof> Gone. iHerb.com is your friend. Their shipments take about a week.
  4. Huh? ????
  5. Bingo! Give that man a Kewpie Doll. ????
  6. If not sooner! Two-tiered justice for the wealthy and connected. Commoners? Shut up and do your time, peasants.
  7. Oxymetazoline may work but is not a long-term solution as there is a "rebound-effect" with this medicine. Do your female friend a favor and pay for her visit to an ENT to get a diagnosis. Short-term, have her try these. Look up "nasal dilators" on Lazada,
  8. Gotta agree with Sheryl. Go see a doctor and get a professional assessment of your condition.
  9. What’s more important as you age — stretching, balance work or strength training? All three.
  10. Colchicine, prednisone, and time. I just had a particularly nasty bout of gout. It felt like my toe joint was broken. Ouch!
  11. Looks fine to me. TIT farang. ????
  12. Thanks, I'll give them a shot. I ❤️ Indian food but it's more like a 75km drive for me to eat there. That was my next question!
  13. Over the last 8 years I've found that a lot of things labelled "Fake News" ultimately ends up to be factual. When that happens, it immediately gets "memory holed" by those squawking about "Fake News."
  14. I'd use a carbon filter for most of the house and RO for a tap that provides drinking water.
  15. The current rate for short-term Treasuries in the US in 5.5% for a 6 month T-Bill. I'm getting tempted to send excess funds back to the US in order to actually make some income on my idle cash.
  16. Ah-huh. Right!
  17. Back 50 years ago when I worked fast-foods, they used Beef Fat! Gawd - talk about tasty fries!
  18. I love Thai restaurant veggies, but the sauces they use to make it is loaded with sugar. Just saying...... If you don't have insulin problems, then it isn't an issue.
  19. Considering that in the past we have seen pictures of "sick, elderly" farangs in terrible condition in prison ICUs (and I don't mean intensive care units) I think that the hospitalization perk is only extended to the wealthy and/or connected citizens. My guess is that this hospitalization perk isn't particularly extended to Thai commoners nor foreigners. You gotta be a "somebody" or else you are a nobody. Nobodies rot I have the feeling.
  20. You can't change what Thai restaurants use to make their food. You can change your life-style. Look into fasting to control pre-diabetes (type 2). I was told I was pre-diabetic too years back. I water fasted 5 days and was back to normal. Fasting does work in many cases. "Google" it: Diabetes and Fasting. It literally can reset your insulin levels (HOMA-IR) as well as lower your fasting blood sugar and A1c levels. I'm speaking from experience here*. But let's source at least one study to keep this real: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35661214/ *And as always the caveat: I'm not a medical practitioner, this is not medical advice. See a doctor before engaging in any treatments for diabetes or engaging is fasting.
  21. Again. This is your friend! ???????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????
