Off to see my sister shortly. Took her for a little picnic at the park by her house yesterday as the weather was nice.

Not that she can eat much as her treatment makes her so nauseous.

Trying to make what time she has left as enjoyable as possible for her.

Good on you Alan, class act buddy, well done. I recently read on line that perhaps 2030, there might be a vaccine for Cancer? God, I hope so....we have to get this horrible disease under control.

A few years ago I had a molar removed. Pain went away after a few days, but it took weeks before I got used to the empty space that once housed a tooth.

One thing the dentist warned me about when it was pulled and I passed on an implant to replace it is the surrounding teeth will spread out a bit. Not much, but enough that food is more easily trapped in the very small gap between some of the teeth. Just need to floss more often to keep the gaps clean.

@Binlid If it will make either of you feel any better, about 2 years ago, back in Calif, one night I was "flossing" just before bed right? Got the bottom molar, the last one way in the back. All of a sudden, this particular "crown" I had put on in 2002, comes flying out of  my mouth, bounces off the mirror, and lands in the sink rolling around like that little ball on a "roulette" table in Vegas right? Luckily, my lightning quick reflexes are still good. I grab this thing, call out to wifey and she says "You need to call the Dentist in the morning" It felt absolutely normal, no pain at all etc. Seemed like the "bite down" was normal. Get to the Dentist the next morning, she tells me you are lucky you saved this, I can re-cement it back for you as it is in good shape still. It saved me $1,400 as she only charged $100 to fix it and all is well. She did tell me your teeth will move if you do not fix it....even at 65 years old? Yep..

Ah the hazards of the aging process huh?

Looking at possibly staying here for a few days in July.

You know this place @Horizondave? Looks good for kids, and not way out of the way like the place in Cha Am.

https://www.ihg.com/holidayinnresorts/hotels/us/en/hua-hin/hhqhi/hoteldetail?cm_mmc=GoogleMaps-_-RS-_-TH-_-HHQHI

It is a little way from the main tourist areas but I am sure there is a shuttle service. I would also think you may not need to go into the main tourist area as the hotel itself, is lovely and you will spend most of your stay at the Waterpark which is complimentary to hotel residents. That would save a lot of money as it is not cheap to buy entry from outside.

I will be using the bar in September when I am there. The bar on the 27th floor has a great glass walk out area that might scare a few, but for great drinks and nibbles it is a lovely place to relax and look down over Hua Hin. Singha at 160 baht and Sam Miguel Pilsen at 250 baht, not to bad for a great hotel. Cocktails at 350, if your lady does drink but soft drinks around 60 - 80 baht I believe.

If I was going with Porn and Kataleya, it would either be the old Novotel (Radisson now) up towards Cha Am or possibly the Holiday Inn. I have already booked the Initial in Soi 94 but I will be solo and it is a great location and residence for bar hopping.

Well, just read this and not trying to be a "shill" for any one band but....Aerosmith is calling it a career. Good Lord, Steven Tyler has had an incredible run and at age 75, it is time to call it a career. Well done to them. 

Las Vegas residency back in Sept 2022, wifey loves me for ever now.  Yeah I know, "Dream On" huh? LOL!

These guys play all the music you want to hear and they play it just the way we all have heard it over 50 years. Playing all the big cities in USA and I surmize into 2024, they will go to Europe and do a farewell there too.

If I only had a dollar for every band who Screamed Farewell Tour but kept right on going,I would have a fat bank account.....

 

i have to give credit to Pink Floyd....They said they were going to hang it up and they did.....

 

Whereas the Rolling Stones have repeatedly been on their final tour since the 70s.....

 

I remember as clear as day when they played in Dallas in 1982 the news repeated endlessly how that was their final final final last forever tour...THE END....Forever..............

The T.V news was even intervening some dumb Schmucks in the ticket line......Joe 6pack was saying I can not afford these tickets but I have to see the Stones because THEY WILL NEVER TOUR AGAIN.....LOL

She glued it back! You could have saved another $97 by buying the superglue. Good top tip for other BMs in the same situation.

Ozzy has been doing farewell tours since the 80’s.

Was due to tour with Judas Priest in the UK this year but his health issues have finally caught up with him and he canceled.

Yes, most bands seem to keep going after announcing retirement from live gigs. 

I remember seeing The Who at the Cotton Bowl, Dallas in 1982, it was there farewell tour, almost. Believe they are doing concerts this summer 2023.

Don’t keep us in suspense! 😜
 

What number did you put your money on in the roulette game in the bathroom sink? 🤣

I broke a tiny and I mean tiny bit off a rear lower molar a year ago and the Dentist put in a bit of resin or something. It took literally 2 mins for the filling and to set it with the UV light. 
£79 ffs😡

Woke up to the predicted warmer weather, relatively LOL.

Time to get my fishing kit together and head off to the big lake.

Haven't been fishing here since October last year so am totally out of touch with the lakes.

Very much looking forward to 3 days lakeside, the wildlife is waking up and hopefully the fish too.

Yesterday, I finally got around to fitting the sons new LG Oled 65” TV in the garden room we built for him.
He had a friend sleep over last night and they played games on his Xbox until midnight and folded down the 2 sofa beds and slept until 10 am this morning, when the wife served them breakfast. 🤗

So the task today, is to fit some floating shelves for the Xbox, the Sound Slayer sound bar and the Internet mesh system and then the garden room will finally be finished. 

Thank god. 🥹

For some unknown reason I am unable to edit my posts once posted. I wish to absolve myself of all hatred by the grammar police for my 'there' when it is obvious it should be 'their'.

I write too quick and think too slow is my excuse. 

Usually proof read most of my posts but I have noticed quite a few errors in my writing lately, hope it doesn't mean anything sinister.

Despite promises by those in charge, the window for editing posts is somewhere between 20-30 minutes.

I had a nice big juicy rat left outside my door this morning!

Since The Cat died I've been feeding a neighbour's cat in the mornings to encourage a "night patrol" and was duly rewarded ...

Did you cook it Thai style?.

65 Inch TV's are good, we got 2. One in my "man cave"  ( Samsung) and one downstairs ( Hi Sense)  Well done to you for getting that set up quite nicely.

Don't be so quick to talk for the rest of us. It's a slippery slope. Posters start with homonyms, but what's next? These aren't just grammer pet peeves they're linguistic blunders of the first order. I would shorten the edit window if possible, if anything too many BMs are slipping through the net.
