Nobody advertises Shanks's Pony !! Here is another bit of advice...If you wank too much when you are young then you have a greater chance of Prostate Cancer ....BUT ......if you wank a lot when you are over 50 then it reduces the chance of Prostate Cancer.....

BMI is calculated as - a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters - CDC. In my younger days I was a strapping young lad but recently I had reason to have my height accurately measured and discovered that I had shrunk. The nurse said a degenerated spine or a degenerate's spine, can't remember which. So should my BMI be calculated based on what I was or what I am? I mean, if a person is unfortunate enough to have their legs amputated, are they told to lose 20kg to adjust their BMI. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the other myriad details that plague the detached home-owner in a winter climate have been dealt with and I'm ready to escape the weather, which was -29C a couple of days ago and is now -18C with a cold wind. It's been snowing most days for the last ten or so and I am heartily sick of clearing it - it was just enough every time to do the fine work around the house by hand and I finally got the tractor out and cleared the whole yard a few days ago, only to have it snow again a couple of times since. Now it is mid-afternoon and my flight leaves in 24 hrs so I just did my online check-in/seat selection and I can take my time getting the packing together. My first flight was a great deal - our home and well-loved Yukon airline, Air North, offers special connector fares if you can prove onward travel, price being $99 CDN (60 GBP) for the 2hr15 flight to Vancouver on Boeing 737. Safe travels mate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boydeste Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Walked both ways of the beach again today, real feel 39 degrees, so wringing wet through by the time I got back to the room. Unusually the cleaning staff here turn my aircon down to around 20 degrees so it's a pleasure to walk through the door. BTW, I got 2 key cards, so one is permanently in the power slot and the cleaners leave it be too! Was off the booze yesterday and feel good today, but the BP is up, so another chilled night is in order drinking soft drinks. May go play a bit of pool in Ausie bar and watch the footy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boydeste Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) Sat waiting for my company to drive home and back to get her id card, why do they not make sure it is in their bag all of the time, especially when visiting a customer in a hotel? Good job she lives close by and has her own bike methinks. Edited December 4, 2022 by boydeste 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maipenrai Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Sitting in my BKK hotel room with a head cold - great way to start my trip. I had some minor sniffles and throat tickle on the flights over but didn't think much of it, but it hit me pretty hard yesterday afternoon when I was out and about so I retired to my room early in the evening with some medicine to sleep it off; feeling a lot better now but I still need to get to Pattaya today - I'll do my driver a favour and wear my mask for the trip... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest up. When you do that at the beginning of a cold or the flu it can really make a big difference in the length and severity of whatever it is you have. Couple months ago I got pretty bad cough, etc. Was a bit worried about it so went to get checked. They did a covid test which was negative. I was relieved, then they gave me an Rx. As I was walking out the nurse said "wait". She did a flu test (basically the same thing as the covid tester, jammed something up my nose). I waited a while and she came back and told me I had the flu. f**k.... She then added another med. I think it is that stuff they give to shorten the severity of flu. I believe it helped a great deal. So.... the other day I talked with a different doctor. I mentioned that I already had the flu and asked if it is still advisable to get a flu shot after already having it. He explained yes as there are four variants that the shot will cover. Jesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Well, the head cold part is almost gone but the throat lingers - I got so full of phlegm that I've been having difficulty speaking the last couple of days; I've been experimenting with different medicines and bought some cough syrup tonight and I think it's finally easing somewhat - hoping that tomorrow will bring some real improvement. I've been getting around a lot in the daytime, checking out old haunts and doing a little shopping as well but taking it easy at night and getting lots of sleep. I've mostly been dropping into beer bars, the only GC I've been in so far was M Club for a drink this afternoon on the way back from Big C and I kept the girls at a distance, don't want to pass this malady on to them. I must say I like what they have done there, the reno's have really opened up the place. A gf was supposed to drop by tonight for a little fun but jammed out, I don't really mind as I can catch up on that later - after waiting three years, what's a couple more days? Oh, and for the record I did purchase a Covid test which turned out negative, thankfully. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) Enjoying trying on my new Skechers boots, while watching Portugal trounce the Swiss. My feet have really shrank with the weight loss, didn’t want to take a chance with a Size 12 but the 13 is loose. Anyway, happy to have these, very comfortable,waterproof too, need that for the snow & slush Edited December 6, 2022 by Golfingboy 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
