So does this information from tripadvisor avoid the AOT car service? Public taxis are the most popular way to get into town. Ignore all touts in the airport terminal offering taxi services. Outside the arrival building on the first floor (one floor down from arrivals) you’ll see a “Public Taxi” desk. (Note that this location is correct as at November 22, 2009). Taxis vary from some older vehicles to very new ones, and some van-type taxis ideal for 3-4 people with lots of bags. All taxis run on natural gas and most of the boot (trunk) is taken up with the NG tank. Tell the supervisor your destination. He will give you a slip of white paper. Hold onto it, do not give it to the driver, as it has instructions on what to do in the unlikely event of any problem. When you get into the taxi, make sure the meter is on and showing 35 baht. On arrival at your hotel, you’ll have to pay the fare on the meter, plus an airport surcharge of 50 baht that is not shown on the meter. In addition there are expressway tolls of 70 baht for most city centre destinations. Typical cost: THB250 to THB400 depending on distance, average seems to be around 300-350 baht. Average Time: About 30 to 45 minutes depending on distance and traffic/road conditions. (My hotel says the fare should be 500 baht.)

It's rare to wake up to 34 degrees in the desert, but that's what it is today. More colds likely to follow. Even New York is warmer this morning.

Where would one go to find collegiate types, muscle types, or guys in their mid to late twenties?

And now 3 high schools in St. George, Utah, have allowed the formation of gay-straight alliance clubs. Progress. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/02/us/02utah.html?hp

I am glad that he is posting again. I hope Stu Cotts returns as well.

Wednesday before Christmas and I start coughing, and now it is New year's Day and the cold still hasn't gone away. Right after Christmas the bf caught it, and he still has it. You'd think mother nature would know that I have things to do. (And I can't even spell holiday!)

Oz is probably still asleep after all that.

You are welcome, Oz. It was a pleasure. I look forward to a new name and a new year for MER.

I saw the preview for it on another Netflix movie I rented, so I put it on my list. The movie I saw was Clapham Junction, and I hated it. It seemed to portray gay life as negatively as it could.

Here is Oz's post renaming the forum. This is all there is to it, no more, no less. Posted 10 August 2010 - 07:01 AM TY and I wanted to give a shout out to Lucky for the August Challenge and his encouragement to others to post. We have named the Pub in his honor for the remainder of 2010. We are lucky to have him on the site! Now, the future remains in front of us, and I am going to focus on that. Happy New Year all.

Well, I am the one who encouraged lots of comments on this topic, so I take what came and now it's time for management to make its decision.I recommended Hooboy's Place but am not sworn to it. What we all want is something that goes well with the spirit of the site, and I don't doubt that we will get a name that everyone can live with. I have enjoyed having the forum named after me, but I understood all along that it was temporary. Whatever the name of the forum, I hope there is always a place here for Lucky.

"There are some posters from the other site, in fact, who wouldn't want to post in a forum that sounds like it is owned or controlled by, or dedicated to, that "community character" Lucky." Wow, this remark seems out of left field. Take a look at my profile over there and see how many friends are listed. I'm not aware of anyone specifically refusing to post from over there simply because of the name of this forum. Can you tell me who these people are?

What? You don't like Epicgonads Place?

Airport Hell Link I don't know why my link above doesn't work since I used the link box above. But you can read it now. (A Shorter version) Zipperzone, focus on these words: “People were walking around, moaning, yelling. Children were screaming. People were complaining about children screaming.”

The Zipper Zone gets me every time. That might work better for the porn pic section though.

The Bellagio robs me every time I play there!

A rather feminine looking boy telling boys they don't cry seems a stretch. But I can see the 12 year old girls going for him.

Can you imagine finishing up a long flight from Hong Kong to JFK in New York and then having to wait on the plane for 11 more hours? It happened thispast weekend. Here is a sample of the linked story: "The Port Authority said that at least 28 international flights were stuck on the tarmac with long delays. That included Cathay Pacific Flight 840 from Hong Kong, which arrived at 2:15 a.m. Tuesday and was not able to get to a gate until about 1 p.m., nearly 11 hours later, Mr. Coleman said. China Airlines Flight 12 from Taipei, which stopped over in Anchorage, arrived at Kennedy at 8:37 p.m. Tuesday and was not able to unload at a gate until 5:47 a.m. Wednesday, more than nine hours later. For passengers who started out in Taipei, the total duration of the trip, including the wait on the tarmac, was more than 25 hours." My link

James Marsden makes a sexy appearance on the next episode of Modern Family:

"This is not my board. It is our board." I am glad to hear you say that because I think the same of the Palm Springs Weekend. Yes, I started it and help organize it each year, but it would not be what it is if it were not for the people who attend it. So it is their weekend. I have often thought the same about Daddy's message board, that it is the participants who have made it a success, and it is not Daddys message board. So, having said that, why are we not hearing from more people on this subject? It's your message board, and now you have a chance to rename a forum, so speak up!

There have been few responses compared to the number of people who could respond here. Perhaps a more formal survey could be taken. Ultimately it is Oz's website and his choice, but it has been suggested to me outside the forum that using Hooboy's name would only alienate posters at Daddy's website. That is an issue to consider, I think, as most of us do not see ourselves as alienated from the posters there. I would like to hear from the guys who post at both sites what they think about it.

I just finished the Japanese film Departures. Next up are Zona Rosa and Clapham Junction.

It looks like CharliePS and I are trying to keep the numbers reasonable as i did not ire this year either. Palm Springs isn't an escort mecca.

I have had that poser on one or the other wall since the bf waited in line for hours to get it for me. I also attended a concert, but he only wore boxers that night...not too exciting. I remember him being interviewed and talking about the need to get "the music to the people."
