I appreciate your response. It was very well thought out. The problem with the above statement is that most who view a website have opinions of them and are not versed in any of the above. That does not mean one should discount their opinion. When I get criticism from one of my businesses, I say thank you and it is something I will consider. There really is never any need for anyone to get into much more than that on a forum and if they do, they have to be prepared for a wide variety of opinions from "experts" and others. I wish you well in your business and your career. I hope it goes as you desire. Thank you for taking the time to clarify as many questions as you could.

I watch The Daily show, Cobert Report and Bill Maher every time I can. I think they are so funny and I laugh sometimes out loud so much that people in the next room walk in to see what is going on. They are all very "liberal" and I have not seen comedians that have talk shows that are funny from the "conservative" side. Are there any?

Thank you for getting this thread back on track! It is fantastic.

Thanks. Axiom. Much appreciated. I'll take a look at the sites. I think most are more for short stays and that is what I may need to do before renting a long term place.

humm, so 9 of them were from before? That still puts you on top IMHO.

Damn it. I counted all those posts and you didn't even bite? What does it take to get recognized these days?

Not to speak for jomtien, but perhaps he meant "consistently" as opposed to "continually?" For this tread to date: ChaseLB has 31 posts Fountainhall has 17 Michael has 11 Gaybutton has 11 Thaiworthy has 9 Kokopellia has 5 Others have 1 and 2 So if posts in this thread count as an indication of posters interest then the list above speaks for itself.

Sorry sir, but you have an Apple Mac and you do have a right click! There are short cuts for all that on the mac. My Magic Mouse has a right click. My Pro has a trackpad and Right Click. You have to configure it in your preferences.

When life gives me lemons, I ask for a Corona.

Ihpguy and I have been having some long personal message conversations. He is a real gem and trying to assist me in finding a place in Rio. He has given me much advice and he gave me permission to post some of the information here as I think it may benefit others. He advised looking in Sunday’s newspapers as they have lots of listings there. I told him I love 117. Anyway, 117 is in Gloria. Quite a big shift downward there from beachy Ipa and Copa. Also, agents are going to try to make money on foreigners. Same w/ Internet sites. Yesterday's Sunday paper and local rental offices will be more reasonable. There is a reason so many Internet listings do not mention prices. Foreigner/Local? Estimation of one's financials and knowledge of the market? Do you have a budget in mind? Also, the company NET has a bundled package with fiber-optic cable and high-speed which friends have. Very good. Neighborhoods? Flamengo is wonderful. Very upper east/west side Manhattan without the very chic feel of Ipa/Leblon/Gavea. One step down are Laranjeiras/Humaita/Botafogo. Then there are the million souls in congested Copa. Also quieter Leme and Urca. Arpoador at the other end of Copa, near to both the Gal Osorio and Cantagalo metro stops. Close to LeBoy. And on the other side of the mountains, Lagoa and Jardim Botanico. On the scale, Catete is a step down from Gloria, but still many nice buildings, and between Gloria and Flamengo is Largo do Machado. Metro stops are in Gloria, Catete, Largo do Machado, Flamengo, Botafogo, 3 in Copa and Ipa. I've got yesterday's real estate section from Extra. Sorry it isn't from O Globo, this is their lower-priced quicker read. First for neighborhoods/bairros and prices For 1 bedroom 2 bedrooms 3 bedrooms These are averages Barra da Tijuca 1550 2390 3644 Botafogo 1665 2755 3146 Copa 1770 2740 4094 Flamengo 1534 2303 3532 Gavea --- 3569 3629 Ipanema 2462 3981 5854 Jardim Botanico 2297 3300 3693 Lagoa 3004 3758 6543 Laranjeiras 1450 2235 6080 Leblon 2890 4012 6025 So these are averages. Also keep in mind the monthly IPTU/real estate taxes and condominio/maintenance fee. IPTU is normally very low as is condominio, depending on the building. Since I assume that you are more of an expert than me with computers, some of the main realtors here with rentals are Julio Bogoricin and Sergio Castro for looks. Another with lots of listings in yesterday's paper is Renascenca. And I assume that you will want an apartamento mobiliado/ furnished apartment Some I found: http://www.agenteimo.../rj/1048541.htm http://www.agenteimo.../rj/1047947.htm http://www.bomnegoci..._rio_de_janeiro /apto_na_av_nossa_sra_de_copa__perto_do_posto_5_8150031.htm?ca=21_s http://www.bomnegoci...598.htm?ca=21_s http://www.bomnegoci...837.htm?ca=21_s <Above is a super price for Ipa - for example> http://www.bomnegoci...207.htm?ca=21_s <Another apparent bargain in Ipanema> Rio is a big place with lots and lots of housing units in the Zona Sul. So, my apartment hunting is off to a good start, thanks to ihpguy.

My only concern for this kid is that his father could not keep his terminator in his pants. If this is inherited by the son, I'd hate for you guys to be around when that thing gets loose. It could end up hurting someone and even though I am not OK with pain, I'll stick close to him to protect the rest of you!

Here is a cool studio room. http://www.bluepano.com/mea_sukhumvit_24/

Is that on this site? I tried to find him but can't. Nigerian's are a pain in the ass. They invade every site with BS. I try to watch out for them and remove profiles. On some sites, I have had to ban IP's from Nigeria. That doesn't help as they use proxies.

You mean tomcal? What is he trying to tell me?

Lucky, you are so cynical. I don't think he is handsome at all. I'd just like to take a closer look at those jeans! They look like they were made for me.

You are right. I'd never be able to make a living in the Internet business. Your skills far exceed my knowledge. hehe

LOL I love this thread. I think you are right. I might be upset if the screams were straight but not if I knew 2 guys were getting off. But, do guys really make that loud noise? I don't think so. Well, some do. I have attended more than a few gay sex orgies in my olden days and it was pretty fucking quiet. So quite in fact that I would have been able to host about 50 or so in my small 2 bedroom apartment in NYC without disturbing the neighbors. That does not happen with the straight sex parties. Women love to scream. Or, they think their men love to hear it. Remember "When Harry Met Sally" scene? When is the last time your BF did that?

IMHO, I wish every member would post photos like these. If it were done for all the bars, I'd be thrilled. This is only the first thread like this. I wish there were 100 others. It lets readers from abroad see what is happening in the bar and perhaps see a photo of someone they want to meet. I had a very "near and dear friend, some say a saint" that ran an escort service in NYC many years ago. The majority of calls came from people who had seen a photo online and wanted to book that individual Many even requested the same outfit. For this thread, I can see many customers who have never visited the bar, giving it a try. That is a good thing for the bar and a good thing for the gals IMHO. I didn't see any rules being broken as I think there is a great deal of discussion in this thread. Perhaps not as much from the OP as we want but the rest of us seem to really relish in the thread.

I like the photos. I appreciate the poster contributing. I enjoy looking at it each day. I asked a few questions that were not answered. No one has to respond to me. I think the questions I asked were "dodged". Thus, is life. But, for those that don't like the photos, the poster has been very considerate and posted all in one thread. I see zero harm in it. I think it is a great thread. But, that is just my opinion.

Are you serious? You are kidding right? Jeeze, here I was giving you the benefit of the doubt and you want a pissing contest? Personally, I would not hire you for any of my sites because you don't know how to take criticism and you certainly don't know how to interact with people. OK. Here is one photo from your completed site from photos. See what it says in the photo. You call that complete? If so, stop wasting my time. Perhaps, this is the owner of the site's responsibility to do. That is OK too. That still means the site is not complete. It is not a finished website. Period. I didn't say you had more work to do. I said the site is not complete. If you say different, you have no clue about websites!

It is the same interior except the rooms I think are a bit larger, the prices a bit cheaper and it is walking distance to a major mall. I didn't stay there this trip as I wanted a different location but I'll be there the next trip. I really like the place and I really liked the Marriott on Sathorn as well. They are very well run properties. But, in Bangkok it is easy to find good long stay apartments.

I didn't ask you to. Both Fountainhall and I were suggesting that members give the bar site time to get finished as it is not complete yet. Don't get upset with us as we were taking up for you!

Are you sure that you and I didn't grow up in different dimensions? LOL Much of what you said was so familiar to me as well. Sad, but I think that was what things were like growing up years ago! I hope things are different today for young people.

LOL, I have seen them. The long stay rates are CRAZY!
