  1. Imodium does what again, helps you go or stops diarrhea? Never had the pleasure yet……

    Besides my weight and that awful Long COVID bout, must say I have been lucky healthwise so far, only thing I did right was never smoke, which I guess is important. But my last few years driving cab pre-pandemic, I had a few episodes where it wasn’t a case of 3 hours or even 10 minutes……With ZERO warning, if I did not find a bathroom ASAP I was crapping my pants, puckering up just didn’t work! Was one episode too when I was only 35 last time in Patts, using Internet cafe on Chaiyapoon/Lengkee, paid up & even staying at 18 coins 100 yards away same thing, no warning barely had time to get my shorts off

    It’s weird, but I guess both a result of aging AND plain luck, some foods might just push you over the edge, in my case a large coffee, and another time, blow with my customers….Had to beg the next stop’s guy to use his bathroom, what a relief! Never saw him again, but what I remember most was his mancave- massive triple garage, spotless floor, and every toy imaginable…..jetski, snowmobile, heavy bag…but 2012 Fort McMurray everyone was rich until oil tanked in ‘14

    Sure it's a trivial amount but it still gives you an idea of how these things creep up on us; however, one can still ride a baht bus from the nether regions of Jomtien pretty well to Naklua for only 10b which still has to be one of the best deals going around here. 

    Unreal….same price as 2008….as is ST/LT right? Handsome man like us 🇨🇦 got it for free back then, no change ? 

  4. Watching Chelsea-MC on NBC here. I won’t be going 8 for 8 and collecting 10 grand this weekend, nice call on the German draw but West Ham let me down 😢

    Inflation strikes again - one of my favourite Thai snacks, "kai pung", which I have been enjoying for years; when I first started buying them years ago it was four for 20b, then a year or two before Covid they cut that back to three for 20b and now the price is 25b:

    It’s an outrage Gord! Vote with your feet! 
     

    Baht bus up to 15B too now, or they just round up to 50 because they can’t make change ?

    These are apparently fairly common, I have a small cyst myself on one of my nuts - I had an ultrasound done some years ago and the tech told me it was nothing to worry about. 

    I’ve got zero on my right, and a couple the size of another nut on the left, to the point where I’m not even sure where the real one is…..But if it’s only cosmetic, so be it

    Gave me an excuse to manscape, never know when I might get lucky …..

  7. Finally got the call for the ultrasound on my left nut Monday, had the scan about 6 hours ago. Urologist spent a whole 15 seconds with me last time, saying it’s most probably just a bunch of harmless cysts, which the Doc today pretty much confirmed. 
     

    Was a pretty thorough process, technician put the gel on the area and took many images from all angles. Gave me 20 minutes to rest up, Doc did more of the same, took her time, and reiterated it looks benign

  8. My COVID infection might have(weirdly) had some benefits. My only 2 gout attacks were 21 months apart(easy to find the dates on this board), now going on 24 months without one. I still always feel a little something in my right big toe joint, as I’ve stubbed it a few times, even during the episodes….but Thank the Lord no 3rd time paralysis as of yet

    Last time was pure hell, I think altogether 2 weeks, with major pain and correspondingly shitty mood for at least 6-7 days…..First one in 2020 was maybe 60 hours of bad pain, much relieved by dipping toe in cold water

    Dont wish this shite upon anyone, and can’t imagine having it go to a knee, hand or gulp…..both big toes

    I was taught the Doughnut making trade when i was in the 7th grade 1dollar an hour. I was allowed to take them home for the family when i wanted which was daily. Well one day my dad tells me it was nice for me to bring them home if i did it again he would kick my ass. He said my Mom and sister were gaining weight at an alarming rate. Never after that day did i bring them home again 

    Funny story Larry….But let’s be honest, that buck an hour went pretty far back then, eh? 
     

    And it’s a miracle all 6 made it back home untouched, waiting for breakfast tomorrow
