ABC & G.Stephanopoulis made to pay & apology to Trump
BigStar replied to riclag's topic in Political Soapbox
You wish, but you don't know that he'll need to pay that ridiculous amount awarded in yet another Dem lawfare case. -
Young Girlfriend from Udon Thani wants to get married.
BigStar replied to Jerry777's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Too bad these amateur troll topics aren't just immediately removed. That would represent a forum upgrade. The paid professional trolls bring in too many page views, so no hope there. -
I should answer more definitively. Creatine, ginko, ginseng, CoQ10, fish oil, magnesium, zinc, multi-vitamin. Eggs. Coffee, tea, berries, dark chocolate, tomatoes, olive oil, half a class of red wine daily--anything w/ polyphenols. Staying fit. Playing an hour of challenging video games daily. Lot of reading on the 'net, mainly, e-books sometimes. Computer work of various sorts. https://www.webmd.com/brain/ss/slideshow-brain-supplements https://reddit.com/r/Supplements/comments/1bi8xjl/what_is_the_best_supplement_to_boost_cognitive/ I await an invocation of the canonical No Ironcald Guarantee principle of ANF Longevity Science. 6. No Ironclad Guarantee Our members are known for their extraordinary hard-nosed shrewdness, e. g., investing in only a suitcase, paying visa agents, uncovering satang change scams, and notably keeping Thai women under tight control. They deal only in absolute certainties guaranteed in writing. Before one suffers the trauma of denying oneself a pastry or of walking briskly around the block, one must first see the guarantee of precisely how much said sacrifice will reduce his dependence on his statins, ACE inhibitors, diabetes meds, blood thinners, and fake Viagra. His waistline will shrink by exactly how many centimeters? His obvious cognitive decline will reverse by exactly what percent? He may expect to live exactly how many years longer? WOT? Thought so. “Honey? Seen me pills?” True, could be just flushing money down the toilet, but I can afford it I guess. Not paying for docs and meds yet, anyway. I just go by what little evidence there seems to be and try to play the probabilities. I know I can't rely on Genetics Voodoo ("me relative lived to 95 solving Rubik's Cubes, did nothing").

But you didn't give the results of your CT scan, stress test, or echocardiogram. My BP's always optimal, so I'm rather bored w/ checking it, and my resting HR stays around 53. Been that way forever. I do have a fingertip oxygen pulse meter sitting on my desk I may use once a week, just to see some good numbers. I don't need a stress test as I do intense intervals 3 times a week at the gym besides resistance training. VO2 max (calculated) scores in the athletic range for my age. I also had a CT scan and scored 100, all the blood work's good, so I won't fall into the Jim Fixx category. I'm not an athlete, BTW, and have never really liked exercise. I started getting fit as 28-year-old wimp needing to keep up with a girlfriend training to run in a locally famous foot race. You guys all remember when as kids you could always outrun the girls. Whoops, they grew up. Though you definitely absolutely have no "chest" problem even with no exercise, and are only taking BP meds because they taste good (strawberry?), I might note the major benefits of exercise for getting BP into a normal range w/o meds. 2. Exercise regularly Regular aerobic exercise can lower high blood pressure by about 5 to 8 mm Hg. It's important to keep exercising to keep blood pressure from rising again. . . . Exercise also can help keep elevated blood pressure that's slightly higher than ideal from turning into high blood pressure, also called hypertension. . . . Some examples of aerobic exercise that can help lower blood pressure include walking, jogging, cycling, swimming and dancing. Another helpful type of exercise is high-intensity interval training. . . . Strength training also can help lower blood pressure. --10 ways to control high blood pressure without medication I think it's well, in a public forum w/ members seeking health advice, to give complete information w/ full disclosure.

I give to the Father Ray orphanage, in memory of someone once close to me. I've visited and think they do good work for those kids. I feel better for doing so and can only hope for good karma. You know those lines quoted in the movie Ex Machina: In battle, in forest, at the precipice in the mountains, On the dark great sea, in the midst of javelins and arrows, In sleep, in confusion, in the depths of shame, The good deeds a man has done before defend him. --Bhagavad Gita, trans. Opp.

Actually, they are very useful for communicating with and avoiding arguments w/ farang and other tourists.

Here is a place for Americans to Apologize to Canadians
BigStar replied to Jingthing's topic in Political Soapbox
I dunno, maybe it's just you deluding yourself. The ignorant Musk and Vivek have agreed w/ Trump. The ignorant Bezos and Zuckerberg are donating a couple of million to Trump's inauguration. I suspect nobody in Canada takes your apology seriously. 🙂 -
LOL. What I have left is priceless at this point. My effort continues to try to slow the kind of cognitive decline I've seen affect old friends and classmates. (Or posters here😁.) It's scary.

No, you were disingenuously ignoring the rest of my post. No one takes BP meds (Amlodepine, still) for preventing high BP AND checks every morning unless they're worried about BP. You can be in denial all you wish.🙂 Meds (including your previous meds) often don't cure disease (notably the usual chronic diseases of metabolic syndrome), but prevent symptoms, so it's also not clear (from your posts) what damage has already been done your "chest." Hence the assertion Isn't convincing. Previously, you had been congratulating yourself on your "normal" BP while neglecting to mention you were taking BP meds.🙂 I hope you've also had your own 1. Coronary Calcium CT 2. Exercise Stress Test Echocardiogram? Results? Nobody's attacking you, but merely inquiring about the true state of your health and offering benevolent observations, since YOU brought it up. Of course, people do wish to think everything's fine.

You're always forgetting what you posted and when, but obviously you did. Go find your own post. My memory's still pretty good.

But you exercise a lot and are fit. Exercise lowers TG.

You still taking all your meds, or added more? Last confession included these: Bestatin – needed to reduce worry over high cholesterol. Baby aspirin – previous stroke or heart attack? Micardis, Doxadozin – also antihypertensive drugs that may affect BP
