Siam Longings

First I want to post the following several statements from here concerning a mercury formulation called calomel ─ the author is explaining how such a toxic compound came to practically be deemed a miracle medicine well into the 19th Century: ❝How is it then that calomel, along with other metal salts, was commonly used by physicians for some five hundred years as standard therapy for almost every…

Excerpt from Transactions of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia (published 1793) Case of Curvature of the Spine, by Thomas Dolbeare, in a letter to Benjamin Rush, M. D. Censor of the College, and Professor of the Institutes, and of Clinical Medicine in the University of Pennsylvania. Read September 4, 1787. London 5th May, 1787. Sir, SEEING the publication from your medical society, I send…

Iceland Trucks Iceland’s largest bus with a truck front and built-in stove: https://m.123ru.net I will endeavour to make this enormous assortment of references as interesting as I am able while apologizing for the numerous advertisements ─ just keep scrolling past them, for there oughtn’t to be any that are going to pop out and impose themselves on you. I hate those types of ads! At present for…

Thailand Thailand AA ─ Whether the "AA" relates to applications that are social, economic, scientific, political, and almost anything else, you may find it listed here.

Thailand Thailand AA I will not make much of a preamble. I just wish to confess that I have not published in a long while ─ over half a year. I also want to encourage any visitors to this post to not be put off by the title. Yes, it will contain some references to Alcoholics Anonymous in Thailand, but there are numerous other applications that involve the use of the initials “AA”, so you should…

August 10, 2021 ║ Fraser Valley Freedom Rally

Below is the fifth oldest of the posts that the Blogger / Blogspot platform “unpublished” from my personal blog last Summer as an act of blatant censorship because I dared to include a discussion of the phoney casedemic / plandemic / scamdemic  that authorities throughout the free world have used for almost two years now as an excuse to start making dependant slaves of their citizens. I had let…

August 9, 2021 ║ Crying Into the Wind

My personal Blogger / Blogspot blog ─ a social media platform owned by Google ─ experienced censorship last Summer (2021) when a number of my posts were unpublished; the cited cause was claimed to be the posts’ contravention of the Blogger / Blogspot nebulous “community guidelines“. It is apparent, however, that my transgression was daring to discuss  COVID ‘vaccinations’ and the worldwide…

August 6, 2021 ║ 💀☠💀☠💀☠ My Wife and The iCon Group

This is the third oldest post ─ from my personal public Blogger / Blogspot blog ─ that was censored last Summer by the people behind the scenes who do not want any discussion of the scamdemic / plandemic / casedemic that has seized the world now for nearly two years. The Blogger platform “unpublished” the post and cited their unhelpful “community guidelines” that of course never mentioned that…

July 30, 2021 ║ 💀☠💀☠💀☠ Defeated

As detailed in the post titled January 7, 2021 ║ My Short Anti-Vaccine Passport Rant to Three Members of the Surrey Board of Trade that I published in this website yesterday, one of my two free Blogger / Blogspot blogs was hit with censorship last Summer, and several of my posts were “unpublished” by Blogger / Blogspot (which is owned by Google). Naturally, nothing precise was identified as to…

August 26, 2021 ║ My Short Anti-Vaccine Passport Rant to Three Members of the Surrey Board of Trade

I have two Blogger (or Blogspot) blogs. The blogging platform is free and, of course, owned by Google. One of my blogs has been running since sometime in September 2008; the other, since early in 2019. I began the second blog after having my hand forced into making the first blog completely private. One day I hope to again make the private blog public, but that is some time ─ probably years ─…

Iceland Travel Book A diverse collection of articles, travelogues, blog accounts, books, and much more targeting Iceland, including travelling to and within the small island nation.

Lómagnúpur image attributed to Arnar Kristjansson. Iceland Travel Book I believe that most people interested in Iceland will enjoy lots of what they find in this extremely long post, since it will include not just current information, but also visitor descriptions published long before the utter COVID-19 scamdemic / plandemic / casedemic nonsense that has paralyzed the world. It is 3:21 a.m. on…

I put together a diverse collection of references that in any way fell within the scope of the term "Isan girls". Alas, the results would have been exceedingly different a decade ago.

Isan Girls I miss Thailand. I have been unable to afford to return ever since my third and final visit there in 2005 when I married a young mother of two boys. I had first met “Jack” or “Jak” (her real name is Supranee) in early 2003 when I made my inaugral solo visit to that country; and we got engaged when I returned in early 2004 for my second visit. I do not expect that I will ever see…

Thailand Hard Drive Flooding The focus here will primarily be on the 2011 / 2012 flooding, but some diverting liberties will definitely be taken.

(AP Photo/Altaf Qadri) evere flooding occurred during the 2011 monsoon season in Thailand. The flooding began at the end of July triggered by the landfall of Tropical Storm Nock-ten. These floods soon spread through the provinces of northern,…

Thailand AA Convention Information on Alcoholics Anonymous within Thailand and elsewhere is covered, but this post has a far, far broader and diverse scope.

Thailand AA Convention Please note that although this post is going to yield a considerable amount of references to all manner of information concerning Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) that will be Thailand-specific, I am not going to ignore other potential applications for that same familiar “AA” acronym as it might relate to other entities within the Kingdom. Nevertheless, I hope that anyone who has…
