"The taller a woman is, the greater her risk of developing one of 10 different cancers, according to a new study published in the journal Lancet."  http://thechart.blog...develop-cancer/


From what I understand, incidences of cancer in Asian women are generally lower than Western women.  Usually this is attributed to things like diet and/or lifestyle, I wonder if that, in general, as Asian women tend to be a little shorter than Western women if this is a contributing factor as well?


FYI, I am a shortie, for a guy, so I'm not goofing on anybody.

Reason for edit:  Added the p.s.
p.s. Did anybody else look at the article and think that the woman in the middle of the pic is wearing a "Star Fleet" uniform?  Kinda reminded me of Nurse Chappell (Majel Barrett) from the original Star Trek.

I have done some checking with my bank, USAA, here in the States and they tell me that they will reimburse me up to $15/month in atm fees incurred while I am in Thailand.  What they did not tell me, but fortunately a friend did, is that they require a copy of any atm fees incurred internationally and that the fee must be shown separately on the atm receipt from the amount withdrawn.  My friend says that the receipts from Krung Thai Bank do show the atm charge/fee separately but he does not know of any other banks that do this.  Are there other banks atm's that give a receipt with the fee shown separately from the actual withdraw?
thanks in advance!

One thing I've noticed as I read some threads, and I'm going to bet that a lot of you Ladies will have noticed it as well, is a lot of male posters here on TV bemoan the fact that their Thai wives/girlfriends never make allowance for their Western culture or tell them "you must respect Thai culture.", etc, etc.  I realize that generally we are only going to hear about the negatives, but I am betting that there are a lot of Thai women who do not fit this profile and in fact make many concessions to their partners Western ways.  Anyway, I thought I'd like to get the Western female perspective on this.  So my question is, do you ladies feel that your Thai significant other, past or present, was/ is receptive to your cultural needs/differences/outlooks and is/was willing to make concessions to your sometimes (baffling) Western ways?  It might be something as simple as a willingness to partake of Western food once in awhile or maybe they understand that many Westerners are not as comfortable with family members showing up unannounced and at all hours, it could be anything.  I'd love to hear about it, and if they were not receptive then I would like to hear about how you dealt with it (maybe some people might get some good advice), not everyone has a whip like SBK!  As an aside, I would be interested to hear the thoughts from Thai women who have dated/married Western men.

On a final note, I would ask that posters on this thread (this means YOU gentleman), don't turn this into a thread to vent your frustrations and to bitch and moan about your past/present girlfriends or wives, Thai or Western.  I am sure that the Ladies here, will welcome posts from a male perspective as long as they are not some crazy rant.

Edit:  One more thing guys, I really don't want to know how you "wielded the pimp hand" with your wife or girlfriend and how dominant you are.
