https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/chris-pratt-agreed-one-christmas-140019509.html "Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt had an agreement with Chris Pratt before she married him. Katherine told Fox News Digital she agreed with the Marvel star that if they got married, the holiday season in their home would begin Nov. 1. When asked if she would put her Christmas lights up right after Halloween, Katherine said, "Yes, it was an agreement that my husband and I had prior to getting married. Christmas lights and Christmas music start Nov. 1...". My husband tried to put on Christmas music almost a week ago, and I put my foot down: no Christmas music unti…

I know we get these lists from time to time from a variety of different sources. This time it's the turn of the monthly magazine and website International Living. It's top ten are - Greece - Panama - Costa Rica - Portugal - Mexico - Italy - France - Spain - Thailand - Malaysia There are several reasons why I find this list somewhat strange. Greece is basically burning every summer. Not everywhere of course, but many of the islands now have major fires annually. On the mainland in recent years, fires have come very close to Athens. In Portugal many native Portuguese are mightily pissed off with retirees. The Golden Visa for those investing around $250,0…

If you are flying on an Airbus A319, A320, A321 you may need to be prepared for a slight delay in departure. On October 30 a JetBlue A320 from Cancun to Newark experienced a sudden uncontrolled dive. The pilots made a safe landing in Florida. The cause of the dive was discovered to be intense solar flares which may corrupt data critical to the functioning of the flight controls. Although it is believed to be the first time this problem has been discovered in the long history of the Airbus fleet, immediately a notice went out that 6,000 aircraft have to be quickly modified. For over 5,000 of the aircraft, the fix is simple and takes only two hours maintenance time. Fo…

I've been in malaysia for a year, it's very boring for gay men. I did visit one tiny little sauna in KL in Bukit Bingtang for an hour, I got one asian dick in my mouth for a quick wank in the steam room, the only dick there... Seeing as gay sex and gay activities are illegal here it's obvious there are no homosexuals in Malaysia. LOL Can't wait to get to BKK in January and throw myself in the deep end of a darkroom, I'm fed up wanking at Xhamster.... link to article or read on, copy and pasted... KUALA LUMPUR: A 59-year-old specialist doctor was among those detained during a raid on a gym and sauna in Chow Kit that was allegedly operating…

It's not one of life's biggest problems, but I'm curious how common this is. I didn't have this problem with my previous two domestic partners (13.5 years and 2.5 years), but it's taken years of begging and pleading with my husband to get him to check if there's already an open bottle (of mustard, ketchup, whatever) before opening a new bottle. I finally "trained" him, but what's got me curious is that it's been a problem with visitors as well, so I'm wondering what most people do. Both of our usual house-sitters have the same annoying habit of opening new bottles without checking. For example, we had a half-used one liter bottle of maple syrup in the fridge, and the hous…

The question is , is Pattaya the cheapest for short time moneyboy sex in the whole 🌎 world with a guy for short time Average 1000 baht Convert that to another currency Bangkok - expect double average Cambodia? Vietnam? Bali ? Brazil ? Egypt ?? Does pattaya prices beat all these ?

Just wondering many of you I have met are straight acting So do you let anyone know your gay or you keep it to yourself? Work colleagues,family etc You can't always tell if someone is gay though even by their mannerisms ♀️ I was in hospital in 2019 having a kidney stone removed when I had a camp Filipino nurse , I swore he was gay until he introduced me to his Australian nurse wife !!!😮😮😮😮😮 She was a big girl so I'm thinking she was the "top" . I live in a gay area of Sydney so can walk around with my Filipino bf without second glances But I don't tell work colleagues I live with a boyfriend, I don't really tell anyone

We have in another thread a lot of information about the scam centres located mostly in Myanmar. These trafficked up to 250,000 mostly from around Asia to work in mostly dreadful conditions persuading generally those from older generations around the world to part with their hard earned cash. Thankfully China has started to do something about this. With the help of the Thai authorities, one of the biggest scam chiefs, a Chinese national named She Zhijiang, has finally been sent back to Beijing. Today's Guardian newspaper highlights another form of scam, one operating in Amerca's heartland. Northwestern Mutual is one of America's most admired companies. Founded 168 ye…

Last month United opened up a new route - daily flights from BKK to HKG. Outward flight departs at 4:05pm and the return from Hong Kong at 09:10am. Being a new and just once a day service, there are special cheap fares on offer. The problem for Hong Kong bound passengers is that the aircraft flies on to Los Angeles. So like it or not you will have extra security checks at BKK!

When I was in Thailand I started PRep medicine a few days before my travel In hindsight I should of taken it a week before In fact some days I missed my dose I started to get flu symptoms on my return to Australia It was a silly thing to do , thankfully I tested negative for my HIV test although my doctor said he will need to test again in 2 months As he said there is no assurance that Prep works 100% and you may want to consider your partner using a condom if they are in the high rusk category eg sex workers I have no idea of any of you are living with HIV and you may not want to disclose that . Apparently you must take anti viral…

A somewhat ridiculous title, I know, but it rather nicely praphrases a long article in today's Guardian. We all know that Caravaggio is one of the gay world's favourite painters. We know that he himself was gay, at least for most of the time. We know that Caravaggio painted the model used in the painting Victorious Cupid which arrives at London's Wallace Collection tomorrow in three very different paintings and that he was his lover. We know this because the British traveller Richard Symonds saw the painting in 1649 and was told its subject has “the body & face of [Caravaggio’s] owne boy or servant that laid with him”. The name of this boy was Cecc…

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/woman-coffin-found-alive-cremation-buddhist-temple-thailand/ "...Pairat Soodthoop, the temple's general and financial affairs manager, told The Associated Press on Monday that the 65-year-old woman's brother drove her from the province of Phitsanulok to be cremated. He said they heard a faint knock coming from the coffin. "I was a bit surprised, so I asked them to open the coffin, and everyone was startled," he said. "I saw her opening her eyes slightly and knocking on the side of the coffin. She must have been knocking for quite some time.""... I guess there's a reason that only health professionals can issue death certificates. 🫢

I know that this was a thread topic 15 years ago and hope there has not been a more recent one. If there has, then do not bother to add to this. That earlier thread basically asked members to list three people living or dead - they would like to meet today - and why. The replies in the earlier thread basically included former lovers, best friends and close family members who had died as well as better known personalities. I expect the problem with those who died some time ago is that we would expect to meet them as they were then even though we have aged. I don't find that a problem. So I'll kick off. 1. The first man I fell truly and passionately in love with -…

Joseph Emerson was an off-duty pilot hitching a ride in the jump seat of a Horizon Air flight from Everett Washington to San Francisco. There were 84 on board. He admitted in court that he had not splept for about 40 hours and had taken the drug psilocybin (known as magic mushrooms) around 48 hours prior to boarding the aircraft. He claimed he was also suffering from depression. He informed the court that he was aware he should not have been flying! Yet there he was in the cockpit jump seat. Suddenly, early in the the flight, he tried to cut off power to the engines. It took the cockpit crew around 90 seconds to restrain Emerson. Moved to the passenger cabin - …

My husband, houseguest, and myself were chatting up with a young man at a Halloween party (as previously discussed in another string). He mentioned that he was a professional magician, and I asked him if he could offer us an invitation to the Magic Castle. The Magic Castle is a dinner club where one has dinner while being entertained by various magicians. One can only obtain reservations if invited by a member. There is no cost for a member to invite a guest, and we'd be paying our own way, of course. He kind of snapped at me and said "Well, hello to you, too!" and disengaged, shunning me for the rest of evening. When I tell people I'm a physician, it's not uncommon…

Will there be genuine bargains to be had on Friday 28th in Bangkok? I'm thinking personally of a printer/scanner/copier. I'm not referring to boy prices but maybe something for enterprising boys.

Recently, and for a reason that defeats me, I have been getting regular emails from Quora. Today there is one rather nasty one about how narcissists age. But it is quite interesting, even though I doubt if it reflects the type of existence many narcissistic personalities have led.. 1. First, they spend their lives hurting others. After years of hurting others, all the guilt and shame add up, no matter how much they may deny it. To avoid this feeling, they continue to do bad things in order to protect their false identity — their “False Self.” Picture each cruel act as a brick. And by old age, they are carrying a huge mountain of bricks. 2. Second, they a…

Yesterday we went to the Halloween party of a friend who lives in a pricey but small condo in the heart of Boystown (west West Hollywood). It has only one bathroom, and he specified on the invitation "Don't poop at my place." Of course, we'd never intentionally save it up for a party, but felt compelled to take some Imodium just in case. The party, indeed, had almost 100 attendees, and the line for the bathroom could be extremely long--but mainly due to people using the bathroom for non-toilet related purposes. Prior to that party, we went to another party, which was held in a small house, and he had a place in his backyard which he designated for peeing, since he also ha…

Being honest with myself today by admitting that I am a little heart broken. 💔 A regularly hire decided to move on and left me wondering what happened... Back story: I met Jose on Grindr 2 years ago and have been seeing him every other week. By now I have upped his rate to be double what we started with. We made a great match, I helped his career along and stepped in when he need a little extra (always a gift, never a loan). Things were good - we traveled a bit and our age difference was never that apparent even if he was the handsome younger guy. Haven't been able to reach him for 3 weeks now, but see activity on his socials. I believe he blocked my phone f…

Very interesting! Beyond the video’s content itself, the scale of this production must have been insane for its time. I will not give too many spoilers, but I think we can all agree with the statement made around 3:33 in the video 😂 Lastly, I spent some time discussing with ChatGPT who the young princes at the end might be. They were most likely not His Majesty King Ananda Mahidol (Rama VIII) or His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great (Rama IX), as both were still very young and living in Switzerland at that time. ChatGPT suggests they could possibly have been from the Sukhumbhand / Paribatra or Rangsit / Prayoonsak family lines, which included boys of that age…

According to recent reports, openly gay 38 year-old Rob Jetten has won the Dutch election for Prime Minister. He's engaged to marry Nicolás Santiago Keenan, a 28 year-old field hockey player and Olympic athlete from Argentina.

A photo has appeared on the BBC website showing Harvey Weinstein with Epstein and Maxwell at Andrew's home, Royal Lodge. When his daughter Beatrice held a masked ball in Windsor Castle to celebrate her 18th birthday in 2006, it was known that all three were on the guest list. Not known was that all three had earlier visited Prince Andrew's home at Royal Lodge during that visit to London. Now the information and a photo have been leaked. The date of the birthday was two months after the warrant for Weinstein's arrest had been issued in the USA. Echoing his comments on the now infamous BBC Emily Maitlin interview, Prince Andrew said he "wasn't aware of it." Maxw…
