  1. Generally when inflation costs are calculated it's done by "big ticket items" or major purchases, not everyday living expenses.... I just learned this recently when I was questioning the same thing here in America....doesn't seem to make sense to me though, unless this is how the politicians want it?

  2. Western countries usually do it well compared to what I have seen in the Philippines.

     

    However, I prefer uncut.... I have a Mexican friend and when they were having their kid circumcised I asked him why since he was uncut....his wife wanted it done and she said uncut was gross, I told him if she doesn't like you cock so much, I'll take care of it,lol

  3. I am sure I can finish it....didn't you see how much I ate at Aldo's?

     

    Speaking of cruises, I am going on a 12 day next month with Francisco for $600 per person, plus because of my benefits I get $100 onboard credit, $50 Onboard credit, $85 credit from travel agent, $100 military credit, free dry cleaning and laundry, free internet, will be invited to a special Captain's luncheon (the top 20 most traveled passengers with them get invited), I know people on that ship that will get me upgraded if there is something available.... spending 1 night in Cairo and getting the Intercontinental at the employee rate of $59.....here is the itinerary:

    you would love cruising Mike but I know...internet,internet,internet,lol

  4. I watched a special on PBS and they were showing how the Jewish Military was pushing the people of Palestine to places they didn't want to go and among the Palestinians was a Jewish guy that spoke up and said to leave them alone. The Jewish soldiers said "we're just following orders" and the rebellious Jew said that's what the German soldiers said also, right?

     

    I was very taken by that, someone has to speak up for what's right, mo?

  5. I've finally tried Dukes, it was delivered by ChefsXP.com, they deliver for many different places, really good service.

     

    I thought Dukes was awesome, the pizza is tasty (just wish I could get a big NY style version) the onion rings are good... I think the burger here was much better and tastier than Bangkok Burger...and it was delivered so I think I might like it more in person when it's fresh.

  6. Here is the quote I live by:

     

    Time is like a river, you cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again.. Enjoy every moment of life

     

    However, I am much more frugal than Mike is, always have been :rolleyes:

     

     

    I've noticed that being frugal, guys that are out for the money realize this real quick and don't bother coming around anymore, I prefer that... and the ones that do stick around are the keepers anyways.

     

    I have an AMAZING kid in Brasil that really loves me...quite a few back in the USA, 1 in Cambodia and 1 in Cuba and here I am messing around in Thailand, why do we do things like that? :wub:

  7. Dream Boys and Boys Bangkok won't negotiate prices, but all the others on Soi Twilight I have said I'll pay 100 baht for beer and 200 for rum, they say ok... and I go to the bar to make sure they pour 200 baht worth of rum,lol

     

    Mike, let's go out 1 night before you leave.....I went to Telephone Bar the other night with someone and for the 1st time went up to their karaoke room, had a great time....you like karaoke Mike, right?

  8. I made another trip today to Fan Club and finally got to see the guy that was on their website that drew me there to begin with!

     

    I guess one of the things I like is the location, since it's close to Silom & Convent, I don't have to go far... Over the years I can't remember going back to the same place but maybe twice because things that are good one time suck the next, but as everyone knows, This Is Thailand

     

    So, I'm 4 for 4 here, maybe a 1st in Thailand for me, lol

  9. I did have a good talk with the owner here as well as the partner that runs Dream Boys and Boys Bangkok (as well as G.O.D.).

     

    Westerners are not the demographic they are trying to capture, it's the Asian Market. Said they come here with fistfuls of cash wanting to spend it. Americans only account for 2% he said and with the economy and the cost of flightss, so few of us come here, we're not worth the time or attention and we are more price conscious, lol

     

    I'm reading some posts on another message board mostly Singaporeans and they travel here like most people take a bus somewhere.

  10. Has anyone been to Chakran sauna?

     

    I've been to Babylon a couple of times this trip and just too many westerners for me, I would like to try this other sauna but don't want to go all the way there if it's not worth the trip, so any input?

  11. I was indifferent...not worth another trip out there, if it were on Silom, I'd stop and try another type burger and get a side of fries...I only had a Coke Zero ;-), so the drink price didn't affect me.

     

    I did use the 20% coupon, that's why I'm surprised that no one has replied to the review on their Facebook page.

  12. What are your plans for the weekend?

     

    Me: going to Siam Paragon for lunch, going to see a movie later, headed to Hero on Sunday.

     

     

    Have you been to Fan Club massage?

     

    We going to hang out before we both leave and accidently run into each other somewhere in Brasil?
