Don’t deprive yourself, try to maintain your weight mate

Cold brew today, too good! Only about 80 baht, don’t get much in Canada for that price these days…..

All in the title, thinking about a cross-border shop myself. Only until 2/24, don’t know how they have better prices than Apple but it is what it is

Tough to eliminate one of course, but I could always just grab a cappucino! 
 

Turkey on puffed pastries…..been forever since I had this. Delicious

I saw this in my recommmended forever, but passed because I got it mixed up with something else that was basically a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes……Late last night it actually played on cable unedited, PVR it…..very good. Grossed like $250M on a budget of $4M, I guess I wasn’t the only one who liked it. Very different 

OK I had many…..GI JOE and Transformers were the main ones. LEGO too, Jesus the prices some of these are going for today is crazy…then again what 9 year old got these for his birthday and would never open them waiting 40 years to sell ?

Not to mention Swifty Power. 🙂

Correct sir

Never count out Mahomes……ended up being a great game

Senseless…..he already accomplished so much at only 24 .RIP

Not long now….🇨🇦 Nick Taylor still has a shot at the Phoenix PGA event so I have not really bothered with all the pre-festivities

Put a few cents on this long shot, ambitious yes but 400-1 is not supposed to win 

Anyway hoping for a shootout go KC! 

4C today, 7C yesterday in Montreal, Toronto had 16C Friday…..yet I was watching the golf & Phoenix was only 12C Saturday……crazy stuff! Don’t know if it’s global warming or what, but I can’t complain this winter….Mom pays equivalent of around £250 for snow removal, lucky prick has not only raised his rates 30% since COVID, but only had to come around maybe 5 times so far this year….

^ that's terrible a Swedish guy also fell from a 3rd floor building the same night 

https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2736170/foreigners-fall-to-their-deaths

 

Read the article, the comments at the bottom were shocking ! Easy to say suicide, but 3rd & 4th floors is not exactly guaranteed to do the job,no? Yes it’s a terrible place to retire if you run out of cash or drink heavily, but good chance they were both pushed

Oh, so that's who Toby Keith was - I'm not a country fan so never made the connection but this song and its video was a classic, very entertaining...TFP...

Same with me, never listen to country but knew he was a big deal, very shocking news

That genre has plenty of fans on both dies of our border, believe you me. Best example of this I learned…:: driving cab in 2016 I think when Garth Brooks had IIRC 9 (NINE!) sold out shows at Saddledome over 2 weeks…..that means for roughly every 7 residents of Calgary at the time, one ticket was purchased to see Garth….crazy! I know many people went multiple times, tourists from USA etc…..but still

Country music definitely ain’t going anywhere

Who could possibly dream the asking price for a nightlife establishment in Pattaya would be “on the steep end” ? 
Say it ain’t so ! 
 

Methinks the last bargains to be had were probably in the 80’s…..

But if a farang is still healthy and has the $ to throw around, why not? Oh the stories(and bedpost notches) he would have when it’s all said & done

Thanks, yea, your right, looking to leave ASAP, every night I lay down to sleep, I can feel each pulse of my heart, pumping blood, sometimes it hurts, sometimes not. I was doing fine after the last heart attack, 18 months ago, but have since ran out of my meds and the Thai meds aren't working as well.

Just a Dammmmmn shame, I designed, drew the blueprints, coordinated all the trades and material purchases, had daily Skype conference calls for 2 years it took to build, with all the subs to make sure the house got built correctly, only to have to abandon it .  Oh well, as they say, shit happens, then we die !!

I don’t you, your age or your lifestyle, but any possibility the virus also hit you in a negative way? Not looking to make excuses, but I think just because we were not part of the initial wave of seniors going on ventilators and dying in 2020…..doesn’t mean we cannot have been touched by the Wuhan. 
 

The heart pumping hard, I had that one the 2nd night I started my beta…..I actually did a 3-way message with 2 guys here saying my goodbyes, I mean it wouldn’t stop ! Next day was in a psych ward, and my body adjusted that weekend, after 6-7 days no more palpitations. Proud to say I became an artist in pill splitting, man I do NOT miss chopping up that 25 of Metoprolol every day. By May-June was not even taking the 2nd 12.5, I am very lucky to have gotten better with time. Now I think my faster heart rate after a flight of stairs or snow shovelling is 90% due to being almost 48, heavier again, and reconditioned from the months I spent in bed…..Heart would probably reach 110 sitting up in bed, 150+ going to the bathroom. Took three(3) showers between New Year’s and Easter, standing up I would almost faint. 
 

I thank God I improved, some people have been bed bound for 4 years, others still have HR of 160 just brushing their teeth and have to use a stool to sit in the shower. 
 

Anyway, my point was that there is always hope, and as much as I mistrusted my doctors at first, and yes some are better than others, at the end of the day THEY are the experts. Attitude counts too, try to stay positive ! Advocate for yourself,  try to get the best cardiologist/internist available, I know easier said than done post-pandemic….

Again best wishes and get better….

Eric
 

Best of luck mate, very sorry to hear about the heart. I am still a bit of a hypochondriac when it comes to any chest pain, got really messed up with Long-COVID tachycardia & digestive issues for 3-4 months last year, a mild dose of BETA blocker and just time really did the trick. Still have anxiety and adrenaline dumps come out of nowhere, stopped the Beta 3 months ago but still on Zoloft, didn’t sleep for a whole month last spring when I started them both…..drove me insane then one day I fell asleep

Your tone sounds like you don’t have much time, I hope you’re wrong and they can fix it back home 

Well my one metre long Lightning cable I got with my IPad Air 2 way back in 2016 finally had it. I’m sure over 7 years of use on 2 devices all day, plus being pulled apart from the wall while using said devices in bed…..I got my money’s worth. Cheap bastards at Apple don’t include a charger anymore….

So it was perfect timing that I had received this from TEMU 3 weeks ago. Thought it typical cheap Chinese shite and didn’t function, but realized I must be patient….Works great, slow(probably 4-5 hours for a full charge), just have to wait until red light turns blue, and it helps to remember to remove your cover if you have one….$4 well spent, glad I didn’t bin it

Apollo Deed!

Carl Weathers

Was just watching James Brown “Living in America” from Rocky IV not 12 hours ago…..totally shocked….He appears in a betting commercial with Gronk that had been playing non-stop leading up to SuperBowl……

I am sure he had a bit of “assistance” from the pharmacy,  but I don’t care….Outside of pro bodybuilding, for the 1970’s/80’s, Carl had an amazing physique, people just don’t realize. Played in the NFL too……

RIP

Vodka ... only 95 Baht on a Friday in Fahrenheit 😜

And 95 more for the mixer? 

Just came in my Inbox…..Maybe Cineplex finally caught up to airlines and cruise ships, and figured out some revenue is better than an empty seat? 
 

But f—k the popcorn…..the prices are seriously out of control, I mean WTF are they thinking??? Such easy to make food in massive quantities, easily 1000% markup, if not 2000%…..starting to make Starbucks look cheap. It’s not the airport, they don’t pat me down, if I feel that hungry beforehand I have a lot of pockets in my overcoat to bring a snack
