Lazada has some foldup treadmills that would fit into a studio apt, not expensive. Could even get a non-motorized one, much more difficult to get injured on. Personally I'd suggest an exercise bike, less impact on your joints. You can move up to tablet to allow you to read subtitles. 'Course, at home you can just watch your TV perhaps hooked up to a media player.

Very common for entrepreneurs in the business world, sometimes for restructuring reasons. They don't need to succeed in everything, just as a stock market trader doesn't. Most trades can be, and often are, unprofitable. It's the few winners that create the wealth. Your point doesn't really mean anything to the experienced in entrepreneurship, but most people aren't, so it's a great Dim talking point.

Nonsense. Over 70% of the public think the country's heading in the wrong direction--under Biden. Trump's higher overall favorability reflects the disaffected former Biden supporters as well and traditional Dim demographics. That would be when people like yourself stop the lies and banana republic political lawfare for imagined crimes and concocted scandals for political reasons. Go after the Bidens, man. Well, duh. What else they gonna do to try to get themselves elected? Happens every 4 years. Note how the leftist media's keeping RFK Jr.'s negative comments about Biden all quiet. Biden's certainly doing all he can in that regard. Got the Deep State (new job security), media, tech, and the schools all workin' for him. Paying off the students anyway after SCOTUS whacked him. Working on the illegal aliens demographic factor. Trump's dealing with leftist thugs now who've taken the gloves off. He'll have to get a lot tougher if he does get in. In the meantime, adopt the new Dim vote-rigging, you know, ballot harvesting, mail-in votes, etc.

No, celebrities often lose fortunes listening to their advisors. Besides real estate, he engaged in a number of other profitable ventures. But you were of course wrong, boring your family like that, as you are now. Exactly what the USA needs is a successful businessman to introduce some common sense, and esp. fiscal common sense, into the gov't. He was hardly perfect and hopefully has learned from previous experience, but still things were better under Trump. That's really the bottom line. Too bad Ross Perot didn't make it back in the day.

When he was a celebrity and the roasts were merely due attention and confirmation, good fun, not mere political hatred, you see. Very different. You're gettin' desperate now, pal. Mere projection on your part. Are ready for the Hitler comparison yet? LOL.

He is right-wing, after all. He expresses the right's viewpoint in an amusing fashion. "Honey, is the wind blowing? I'd like to watch TV." Why deal with all that hostility and lend credibility to the fake news? Win. You dunno, as he didn't bother with the correspondents dinner. He gets more laughs at his rallies than Bush or lecturing Obama, however.

I did. Drugged: Psychiatrist sees signs Biden was medicated for State of the Union performance Hence Trump suggested drug tests before the presidential debate, in the unlikely event Biden's handlers allow him to show up. Even so, slurred, divisive, demonizing, threatening SCOTUS (fatuously), pandering, lying, blaming, angry. Off teleprompter, screwed up royally. No new, unifying, optimistic vision, just usual Dim talking points for retards. The reality of his policies seems to be sinking in, hence the low approval numbers. Fail, except, as a campaign speech, proof-of-life for his base. As for blocking, you couldn't have seen Trump's gracious victory speech after winning Iowa, 'cause the fake news media wouldn't let you. 🙂

He seems optimistic about winning the nomination and the presidency again. Got a boost from the 50 million fundraiser. He's annoyed, as well he should be, by all the Dim lawfare being used in attempt to stop him, but one has to admire his resilience. Quite a fighter. And he's genuinely outraged over Biden's policies and hopes to change them. Otherwise he's probably looking forward to his next golf game. That about sums it up. Time to close the thread?

Skip the bread only. Rest good.

Correct. That kills me. Shockingly, now, much of the world may not know the definition of the word chippy. Seems outdated, as most of today's moobs owners surely acquired them otherwise than by eating chippys. However, Brits here unfamiliar with the more recent term are no doubt characteristically grateful for your explanation. I believe the portmanteau m[an b]oobs is probably more widely known internationally. Mind you, it also originated in the UK and has attained proper respectability with its acceptance into the OED. Congrats on your own achievement, however. Life must be better without carrying moobs around. 🙂

No. Enough with the paranoia. Thais can be great characters with some interesting if not remarkable stories. They're fun to joke around with, too. So you'd need an appreciation for such, consider them as real people rather than paid servants for your convenience.

Well, no, then it'd have to done for Russians, Chinese, and Thais. Turn off too many of our lads here.

Can't reach the aircon remote, eh.

When will they ever learn?

Farang out there enjoying the time of his life. It's everything he dreamed, legal bullying and causing possible injury with no repercussions. Hee. Watch me crash her motorbike! Stupid Thai. Hee hee! Let's git dat b*tch! BONUS: you may enjoy the impressive moobs on display: But besides the fun and the fabulous moobs show, you get to mix & mingle with the Western intelligentsia of high net worth--people like yourself whom you'd like to meet. Network, man.

Resistance exercise is necessary for slowing the progression of muscle loss and sarcopenia, among other benefits, including cognitive. It's hardly necessary to join a gym for it. Many home options exists. Needn't be time-consuming, either. As for 10,000 steps, this may be of interest: Forget walking 10,000 steps a day. Taking at least 50 steps up the stairs each day could significantly slash your risk of heart disease, according to a new study from Tulane University. --Walking more than five flights of stairs a day can cut risk of heart disease by 20%, study says

Starches aren't a necessary food group. Keto does include veggies, and veggies, meat, fruits (berries) and dairy contain all the nutrients you need. I don't do keto but I follow low carb and it's been quite effective.

She may have bought some drinks for staff as well.

Happy, but probably earlier. Along with the food, your meds. Perhaps partially blind with one leg amputated already. I do think our forum "short but happy life" advocates should, along with the fave food pics, be required to post pics of the meds as well and give the current dosages. Also informative would be some figures relating to yearly medical costs.

In Pattaya it has always started in the bar areas on the afternoon of the 11th. We'll see if the tradition holds this year.

ANF Poster Boomerang Principle at work again. @BritManToois the forum's foremost proponent of Genetics Voodoo, except he hypocritically attempts to thwart it whenever perceived in his own self-interest.

Excellent. TOTALLY agree! Too modest to mention them myself. 😉

May have something to with all the fraud they've encountered, easy to perpetrate in the digital age. Same reason they began to require the embassies to verify the income of farang getting income affirmations for their visa extensions. In Pattaya the very strict requirements keep the yellow book and pink cards away from all the riff raff. It's a big deal because those documents are official verification of identity. Best to be sure they're as accurate as possible.

Way to go. More specifically the yellow book behind the pink card.

Imagine you, a bunch of condescending older educated farts with more degrees than a thermometer being, like goldfish, unable to speak Thai well enough, and insufficiently knowledgeable about culture common to most Thais, to make trivial conversation with an uneducated Thai girl about the things that Thais are normally interested in. Who are her favorite singers, for example? You dunno. You were clearly out of your depth.
