No Paul, it was the 1960's. I see by a google search that chemo was available in the 1940's, so I stand corrected on that point. I don't know why my dad did not have it, though. They did radiation...

Paul I hope you are able to make a decision you feel comfortable with and which works for you.

People of faith come in many varieties and do not always agree with one another. I'm sorry you had...

Some of those gave me a really good chuckle, Khun Don. I'm sending them along to the cousin who sent the email this morning.

David, now I see why Winston Churchill liked them so much!

A-Ha!! I have just received an email with a list of paraprosdokians, of which "Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad . . . " is one.

Ummmm, love those 'side condiments'. Thanks busybee!

Happy Birthday! Have a wonderful day.

I don't eat deep fried foods. Stir fry maybe? We'll call them mountain shrimp!

It was trial and error, Khun Don. Mostly error, however. :)

Nu, it would be great if we could all share our experiences in using stevia leaves. I think it is such a new way of cooking, making...

Never say never. Not yet, however. At least not intentionally.

I've heard the east coast of the U.S. will be 'invaded' by locusts this year. People who decide what to do about these things are...

Got it, after a bit of head scratching! :confused::confused: Thanks Khun Don.

STEVIA

Is anyone growing stevia? You may have seen the powdered version in the grocery store under the "Truvia" or "SweetLeaf" names. Stevia is not easily grown from seed, so I purchased a plant...

"I wish I hadn't forgotten my shades at home" says the boy, and "Peace, baby, Peace", from the girl.

Are there no garden or landscaping businesses who deliver?

Thank you, Khun Don, for that link. Next time I get to an Asian store I'll get galangal and give it a try. It should be an interesting experiment if nothing else. I might as well get ginger too, as...

It seems to be the trend to jump from winter to spring, and from summer to winter.

I have tomato and pepper plants sitting in tiny pots waiting to be put into the ground. If the weather turns...

After a week of cold, wind, and rain, we finally had sunshine and calm yesterday. With the ground warming up, I saw a great difference from morning to night, with the little beet seedlings breaking...

This does NOT make fun of anyone's religious beliefs. It merely illustrates a point in a light hearted way.

In this case, thank God for...

Inspired by Nu's post in another thread I finally harvested beet greens from the compost bin. Incidentally, there are also peas growing there from the hulls I tossed in last summer. At this rate I...

Busybee, I definitely think your version of the sandwich is healthier. I haven't had a bite of a Philly steak sandwich for many, many years, and even then it was just a very small portion. My version...

Paul, I have been thinking of something since I learned that both your parents had bowel (colon?) cancer. You probably don't need to be reminded, but I'll mention it just the same. Please be sure...

What a delightful invitation! It has me wishing and dreaming that I really could be there.

I wish you both much happiness and well being in your marriage.

Reading other people's opinions, and even disagreeing, is a part of learning and provides a way to examine our own thoughts and opinions.

It's very unusual that someone 'just dies' in their sleep, or gets cancer and 'just dies'. I am obligated to myself and my family to do all I can to live healthy. I may not die quickly, but I feel...

The basil pepper stir fry is my favorite. I never thought of making a sandwich of it with pepper jack cheese. MOVE OVER PHILADELPHIA! (Philly cheese steak)

Well said Paul.

It's been a long time since I've had a dream similar to that. One word, frustration, sums it up fairly well.

:blush::blush: Western kitchen. :blush::blush:

I'm just trying to keep up with the goings-on and enjoying the company.

Better and more interesting! Safe travels.

It's raining here today and I love watching the garden in the rain. I can almost see the plants growing!

Strawberries are to the left, with 2 'rounds' of snow peas, garden peas in the center, with...

Nu, I like beet greens also. In fact, you've given me an idea for supper tonight. I'm also growing chard just so I can have a good supply of the greens, which are also good in green smoothies. How do...

The largest thing in my garden so far is the beet which came up in a small compost bin I have in a planting bed.

I have a friend who regularly harvests potatoes from his compost bin.

Last night I couldn't get to sleep, so at 2 am I was online, and at 3 am I was on the sofa with CNN turned on. This nearly ALWAYS gives me weird dreams.

So here I was, along with some girls...

Do you save your coffee grounds, tea leaves and egg shells, Khun Don? These are things I always put at the bottom of the hole for tomato & pepper plants. You might also find a small bag of organic...

That brings up a point for me too. I don't usually like videos because of the buffering. In the case of music, I prefer to listen only and let the words and sounds form their own images in my head...

I don't think it's just you, Guava. The forums seem to be quiet for some reason. Some of us try to start threads about different subjects ~ Thai food for example, but there doesn't seem to be much...

I definitely believe in living a healthy lifestyle, and taking care of body and mind while being in tune to what my body is telling me. Taking advantage of diagnostic tools such as colonoscopies and...

Khun Don, I think we must have posted at about the same time, so I probably duplicated your information.

I noticed that Bangkok Hospital has "NBI - Narrow Band Imaging" colonoscopy. My curiosity...

There is also: www.health-tourism.com Simply enter 'Thailand' in the search box and it will give you several options.

There are other sites as well which give basically the same information.

Paul, I am sorry to read that this experience has left you feeling so angry. I am wondering if part of your anger is due to having lost your mother so recently. This would not surprise me as anger is...

I have seen that tendency in the news media also, Marie, specifically television news and also television dramas. I suspect the language is changing rather than this being just a fad. I'll let Mr....

Thanks, Marie. I don't know why I had never heard or read those explanations before, but it's good to know them now. As for Susan/Susana to Sue, I should have explained my thought that it is...

I remember my father-in-laws friends calling him 'Yong', short for Yanyong. I can't think of any other examples, so I can only assume it is a common practice to sometimes shorten names. Come to think...

I certainly missed it. The beautiful photos in the above posts prompted me to ask Mr. Google for guidance. I found a lot more beautiful photos, but no information as to when it was built. Can anyone...

Interesting. It's got me to thinking about what my older brothers :mad: would have nicknamed me if we had been in Thailand. :laughlong
