Samuijimmy's... Daily life in Thailand and what I see

[samuijimmy]

Party for some local kids, across the street from me, yesterday!

 

 

 

 

 

She's got a good sense of humour!

What to call this? .... Skeletal remains... my neighbors collection of bones and skulls! ...and other stuff!

Snake, Buffalo, and two dogs at least he thinks it a dog, must front image

 

 

[samuijimmy]

for my aches and pains, in my legs,  I have been taking Turmeric ( (AKA Cumin) for the last few weeks... it really seems to help... although not the greatest taste in the world, mixed with hot milk.

My local Indian restaurant guy has been making it for me... a very long and tedious process!

 

Final process is grinding after smashed roots lay in sun for 10 days to dry out... grinned and sived

 

 

 

Comparing store brought with 100% pure... (more yellow mix in front  is mixed with a filler!)

Jimmy turmeric and cumin are worlds apart, I can tell you don't cook.

 

Word of advice, sack the indian guy and get turmeric root and beat it in a pestle and mortar, it;s health properties are best unprocessed.

 

Throw it in a pot with some rice.

 

That yellow stuff looks like mustard, never in my life seen turmeric powder as yellow, he's fobbing you off.

 

Nothing is being cooked, not sure where you got that from... ?  I won't be sacking the Indian guy!  Actually Nepalese and been a good friend for years!  I rarely cook with separate spices when it's easy enough to to buy ready to use blends~! or let Babu make the Indian curries!

 

Since starting to take this Turmeric  daily, it has really help relieve the pains.. Several sources all say it has to be taken with hot milk and drank on an empty stomach...

I have an American neighbour who is a retired nurse, with similar problems and she's taking it too, with same good results!  It does not have the side effects of many "store" brought or doctor prescribed drugs either. I can also now get out and about without the pain of trying to walk or using a walking stick...

 

Also find that cutting time on sitting at the computer really helps too.... I am no longer spending a lot of time doing that!

 

The work going into making the Turmeric powder is extremely time consuming, as I have found out...watching him go through the process of making it, to make enough without doing it daily  which would be too tedious. The roots are first crushed and laid in the sun for about 10 days... Then ground in a mixer, sieved and ground again to make fine powder...

As for the cumin name it was my land lady who said that it was "cumin" I was surprised at that... but just looking it up I see this: So it is different... OK that was my landlady who said that... I was surprised but took her at her word!  So I retract the reference to cumin!

Roots sourced from Nakon Si Tamerat about 100 kms away on mainland, (Babu's wife's family farm)

 

Not being fobbed off at all considering too, he's done this for almost for free. ... repayment of things I have helped with over the years...

 

 

Sitting for about 10 days in the sun...and turned several times daily .

 

 

Final grinding... it would take days with a mortar and pistol for this quantity!

Oh no! 

Well I am just getting a little frustrated with this... it shows for me and doing it that way worked yesterday....on a trial in our Mod area.

Tech do not seem to be responding anymore, I am ready to pack it in...  it's just nonsense!

 

 

Jimmy, it seem like all previous posted images with URL has gone dead as a Dodo – I just checked my profile, where I have a few photos inserted from other URL, which have worked perfect for years – more surprising is that also the Thai Visa Emoticons has disappeared in the profile text, and now just show as for example "thumbsup.gif" etc.

 

By the way, the Emoticon overlay sometimes acts little weird, after the basic upgrade/change of the Forum – sometimes the comment-box is also not working – but reloading the page (F5) can often bring the functions back.

 

I can technically understand, there can be problem with uploads, but linking to an external image with full URL, should be a fairly simple maneuver. However, if displaying it has to do with script-macros and database, a script-upgrade may have messed it all up.

Drag and drop seems to be working again now.... as long as not CR2 files, that did not work! 

 

Just a couple of random images from Isaan!

For the time being I will stick to drag and drop which seems to be working OK now~ !

  this should show as posted via drag and drop! 

 

[Minnie the Minx]

Broken links ( cry emoticon) the last two days I have had serious issues even logging in. Chrome no go. Drag seems to be okay. At least I think it is ok. Test.

 

 

[samuijimmy]

I have removed  a fair number of posts mine and others concerning the posting problems... going back to about March 3rd when it all started to "go south" with posting some images. 

 

I hope no one is offended by the posts I have hidden, but with nothing being resolved, there is not much point in having all the trails and tests remaining..

 

Thanks to those who have helped with input! 

Have a sunflower!

For people who don't know, red is colour for love and white is for death in China.

[samuijimmy]

At the fairly new Chinese restaurant near me, in Bang Por,  there are lots of  weddings, but they could be Thai's all in white... ! ???

 

Now we think the uploading problem is fixed when posting from Google Photo's ..

Another test !!!  Oh please I hope all OK now! 

 

 

 

 

 

Owners from Shanghai, I guess that would be a Shanghai wedding....

Good food too!

 

Oh no four images!

However the previous Google-stored images from a wedding, are still visible...

I just updated Chrome to Version 58.0.3029.81 (64-bit)... still no help!
