DJ Trump goes to Arlington
He used it as a political stunt and that's not allowed. Thankfully, it SPECTACULARLY back-fired and that's why you and your fellow apologists are clutching your emotional pearls so fiercely. It's beautiful to behold!😆 -

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2024)
I downloaded and watched a movie which I first saw around 1970 in the UK, called, "Soldier Blue" and back then it was considered very violent, although it graphically portrayed what actually happened, and the song "Soldier Blue" by Buffy Sainte-Marie, got into the UK charts. The movie still resonated with me and there is no way that I or anyone could condone the wholesale slaughter and massacre of unarmed women and children by the US cavalry. However at the time it was released some American critics labelled it as "anti-American", can you believe, when apart from the actors holding the story together, the slaughter, dismemberment, rape and horrendous use of body parts was true as was recorded at the time. After the massacre Colonel Chivington declared it a victory that everyone should be proud of, however after some investigation into this horrendous slaughter, the following was stated by the US government: – "As to Colonel Chivington, the committee can hardly find fitting terms to describe his conduct. Wearing the uniform of the United States, which should be the emblem of justice and humanity; holding the important position of commander of a military district, and therefore having the honor of the government to that extent in his keeping, he deliberately planned and executed a foul and dastardly massacre which would have disgraced the veriest savage among those who were the victims of his cruelty". After the actual details of the massacre became widely known, the United States federal government sent a blue ribbon commission whose members were respected by the Indians, and the Treaty of the Little Arkansas[69] was signed in 1865. It promised the Indians free access to the lands south of the Arkansas River, excluded them from the Arkansas River north to the Platte River, and promised land and cash reparations to the surviving descendants of Sand Creek victims. However, the treaty was abrogated by Washington less than two years later, all major provisions were ignored, and instead, the Medicine Lodge Treaty reduced the reservation lands by 90 percent, located in much less desirable sites in Oklahoma. Later government actions further reduced the size of the reservations!!!!! -

Is the SAMSUNG A25 5G the best phone I can buy tomorrow...for the money...in Thailand?
LG's V20 probably closest to your old one. But rather than spend endless hours asking opinion, just go and get one of the best Samsungs out there... the S range probably. I'm all for saving a couple baht, but when time is ticking by -- toing and froing on here for example -- and for peace of mind and satisfaction, I know I will probably end up regretting going for tat. Look at processors and relevance a few years down the line. Physically go into a shop and plug in your headphones if it's that much of a priority. But I wouldn't discount this or that model because it might not have one since bluetooth headphones are always an option. On that score, it might be that the one you bought has a default volume setting to protect numpty users. Did you drill down into settings>sound (or whatever) and have a play around? Personally an iPhone boy, albeit may defect on the next phone, but won't go cheap... doing banking and pretty much everything else etc, and not worrying about hiding it away for Songkran. I wouldn't want a glitchy POS. Each to their own. -

Varicose veins
I have varicose veins which never troubled me until debilitatingly painful ankle ulcers developed. Have had the latter almost continuously now for three-and-a-half years, and in that time have visited four hospitals, three locally and one in Chiang Mai. All equally useless: clearly knowing nothing of venous problems, but unwilling to admit this and refer one to a vein specialist. Finally, I did a web-search and found two hospitals in Thailand that claim to treat venous problems, both in Bangkok: the Bangkok Hospital and the Yanhee Hospital. Ablation of veins is by no means cheap, so either you are well-heeled or it is a matter of last resort. Ablation can apparently nowadays be carried out by laser treatment rather than surgical removal. If not a matter of last resort, then compression stockings may be the answer, if you can find the correct size. Bear in mind there should be no compression on the toes, high compression on feet and ankles, and diminishing pressure as they go up the calves; so foot size, girth of ankle and of calf, and doctor-prescribed pressure [in mm of Hg] must be taken into consideration by the pharmacist. In my experience, not easy to find compression stockings here in Thailand, where pharmacies generally stock elastic bandages instead. The latter are very cheap, but in practice tend to slip so that maintaining differential pressure is difficult. [In France they sell a self-adhesive bandage called 'Coban-2' which overcomes this problem of slipping. For francophones, and where things have not degraded too far, here are a couple of books: 'La Circulaton Veineuse - ses troubles ses remèdes par les médecines douces' by Dr Claudine Luu, Editions Dangles 'La Circulation Veineuse - varices, hemorroïdes, fissures' by Raymond Dextreit, Editions Vivre en Harmonie Incidentally, Dr Luu is of the opinion that removal of superficial veins should only be effected when essential because doing so can put more stress on the deep veins. The opinion of two doctors at a local clinic for Burmese migrant workers and their families is that removal of veins is the only solution in my case, but that for a person of my age [80] this is not without risk. -
