Just annoying the unhealthy foods and drink will need to wait till after 1000 am tomorrow. Good luck with that. We hear that the liver has good healing capabilities, but always good to get some test results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maipenrai Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Saw a parts truck deal I couldn't resist the other day, and had to get my truck and trailer out of winter mothballs to retrieve it yesterday - had already cancelled my liability insurance for the winter but this wreck was so close to home it was worth the risk: Now it's stashed out of the way of snow removal in my yard and I'm not even going to touch it until spring: 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at Travel Insurance for UK that includes getting my body repatriated to Thailand if I die on holiday. It has nothing to do with any religious bollicks. I don't want to snuff it in UK, and dump a massive Bill on my sons' laps.. Getting burnt at Watdamsamakee is a fraction of Funeral/Burial costs in UK ... I have no idea if @tommy deeread my post quoted above but he has an excellent video on YT regarding snuffing it here. I have sent a question to the organisation in the video to "merge" the subjects together. Thanks @tommy dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @tommy dee sorry I was dredging the fishpond and getting soaked in fish Pooh.. thanks for posting that. AMAR is a great group, both are friends of mine long time. I have a pre paid package so can decide how I am roasted. I like the system here, and the cost in the UK is ludicrous, something I have told both my offspring to avoid for me. the scary bit, in the video too, is how so many families in the Uk are not interested in their father, brother etc who ran away to thailand and died. they dont want to help with costs at all. and who wants a paupers burial when its v cheap here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mate, that is why I am investigating repatriation of my body to Thailand if I die on holiday there next year (A situation that wasn't discussed in your interview - only t'other way round). My starting point was Macallans from your earlier video. I am hoping to get everything under one policy, with one contact number for my sons and a cheap charlie cremation at Wat Damsamakee.. I'll give feedback later.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a while a huge western restaurant plate of grub makes you feel a bit sick (but can eat if washed down with a couple of pints or 4) Not a lot wrong with your advice. Just got back from my liver scan. It wasn't an ultrasound as such, it was a fibro Scan which is used to determine fatty content of the liver and also firmness or scar tissue. Thankfully the liver physician told me that, basically, I had a normal liver with a little bit of fatty content but no scarring or fibrosis. She said it was good for my age but if she needed to offer advice, it would be to just cut back on fats, eat more protein. In fact, after my heart operation, I was told to concentrate more on protein and keep to low carbs/low fat foods. Physican advised the same and to have a Mediterranean style diet with intermittent fasting. Keto and other diets not good for the liver. She also said that the best advice was to eat your main meal before 6pm and to have healthy snacks after but before 8pm. She made a lot of sense to me although some of it is common sense which we don't always adhere to; where are my beers lol. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funerals are big business $$$......But a simple roast is all that's needed.. With-in 100 years virtually everyone will have forgotten you were here anyways...Same for the famous, but it just takes a bit longer... How many movie stars,bands or sports stars can people name before 1922....Not many.....How about before 1822.......How about before 1722... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasseye Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Might be advisable for some to have a burial/cremation type insurance policy. Reasonably affordable and sure makes things much easier following a death (at least for the loved ones who are dealing with things). It's not just about the money I'm talking about. With an insurance policy all the administrator (or person dealing with coordinating things) has to do is give the policy number, name of company, phone contact to the funeral people and they take care of everything. If there are any costs which are over what the policy covers the estate will cover it later. If there are no assets left within the estate then I guess any added costs would have to be negotiated. But, by the simple fact that there was a policy it gives the funeral company confidence they won't get stiffed (no pun intended), and leaves one less thing for the family to have to worry about or haggle over. Highly recommend having one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely definitely not! Travel Insurance covering all the normal holiday stuff plus Repatriation and Burial appears to be less than 50 quid for a one month holiday.... ... But its early days to put an exact cost as I haven't even booked flights yet .. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
