FH, I have a washer and dryer in the place. The problem is operating it. I have ruined 3 loads already and I quit! I am not made for this kind of work.

Welcome to the site!

Thanks for the review. As there are so many more Russian's and those from that area that are arriving in Pattaya, I am not surprised that the number of these restaurants keep increasing. Many years ago, I sponsored a family of Russian Jews to come to America. This was 20 years ago. They thanked me over and over by cooking some of the most amazing dishes I have ever tasted. It was so amazing and it was the type of food I have never tasted.

I admit I am spoiled to have the laundry people in Pattaya do my laundry cheaply. I am now in Bangkok in the Sathorn area and I can't find one place that is reasonable. The hotel was 120 baht per item. The laundries in the neighborhood want 40-90 per item. Considering I pay only 200 baht for my pants, this is just not something I am going to do. Anyone who lives in Bangkok have recommendations on the best way to find a decent laundry place? My blue socks (I tried unsuccessfully to wash and dry myself) would be most appreciative.

Another Thing to Use Evernote for: Write “to-do” and other lists in Evernote inserting the checkmark-able T0-Do box by going to Format > Insert To-do or pressing the button shortcut in the compose note screen. Take photos of receipts and upload to Evernote. Forget trying to keep paper receipts in a box on your desk. Instead, take photos of them and upload them to Evernote. They’ll be searchable and get rid of excess paper around your home and office. PDF Documents can be backed up in Evernote. Email the file to your Evernote account or drag and drop the file into the desktop software. Now you have a searchable and permanent copy of PDF files! On the Mac, you can Print PDF files to Evernote, too.

When you use the "elephant" button in a browser, it copies that entire page. You can then delete the ads and it won't upload them or do as I do and use your mouse to highlight the text you want and then press the "elephant" button and only that text goes into Evernote. It does take a bit to get use to but for me, I find the archival system fantastic!

The Usual Suspects. One of the best movies ever !

How easy would it be for me to get citizenship there? This is devastating news!

I have seen people use this in Thailand and LA and Vegas with great success. Not having a pay for play area, it was not easy for me to find what I was looking for unless it was late at night and my bedtime is 11:00PM.

Update: I am still using this program daily. IMHO, it is one of the best programs, resources on the Internet.

Can someone explain what Moo Baan means?

I totally agree with you here. I comment to the BF all the time when we go out, there are tons of Thais spending money. Yesterday we were at Central World to go to the movie. We ate at a nice place there and cost was around 500 baht per person at least. The place was full of all Thais. We were shopping after the movie in Central and Thais were purchasing very expensive items. I have also noticed the way the younger Thais dress. They know designers and fashion. This is not the wealthy or the poor, IMHO, this is the rise of the middle class Thais. My fitness center costs 20k baht to join and then 2k baht per month. It is filled with Thais and they are always getting personal training sessions at 1k baht an hour. There is a great deal of money in Thailand that is being spent by those not in the upper or lower class. I think Khun Kjun is right on the mark with his assessment.

There has been a lot in the papers recently after a famous newscaster from MSNBC was suspended for a bit for calling one gal a slut. That brought up many reactions from all over the nation. However, is that something to be suspended for? Fired for? http://www.salon.com/life/sex/index.html?story=%2Fmwt%2Ffeature%2F2011%2F05%2F28%2Fslut

He is still sexy after all these years. A childhood crush on him, then an adult crush on him and now a middle age man crush on him.

Personally, I agree with Lucky's assessment.

How does this accidentally happen? LOL but, I did read the story and it said his left buttock was pierced by the hose. I assume this to mean it went through his pants and in his skin. In any case, I am glad the man is alive and well. I do get a sinking suspicion that this will end up on CSI in one venue or another!

Me too. I took a trip several years ago on Carnival and had one of NYC's finest escorts with me. He fell for a worker on the ship and we had him to our cabin a few times. His boss got upset (as it was also his boyfriend) and he put him working double shifts the rest of the cruise and watching him when he wasn't working. I have one friend who gets more action on cruise ships than anywhere on earth. He loves it and says all the guys there are horny and available. You just have to be careful not to get them in trouble if they get caught in your room.

Isn't it illegal in several US States as well? It just isn't enforced.

Curious, is Baby Chicken same as someone saying Baby Mama?

lurker, are you lookin?

Is that from the Devil's Advocate?

OK. I need another clue.

That one reminds me of Hee Haw. "I ain't one for spreading rumors. So, you better sit tight and listen close the first time."

I totally agree with you Martelly. I feel the same way as you do. I don't understand why more bars that have shows don't put more effort into them. I did go see Wild West show several times a few months back and it was the best thing in Pattaya. If you get a chance, drop by the bar and see the show. It is usually fun and entertaining and I didn't see the same thing night after night. I doubt the bar owners will care much about changing their shows. Why? Like Gaybutton, it is one of those things I simply don't get. It is not for lack of talent in Pattaya. Pattaya has the talent to support a great show.

Obsessions is a lot of fun! The boys I took last night had a great deal of fun and laughs. The ladyboys there are not shy. I had at least 5 come over to talk to me and show me on their cell phone a pic of their cock. They would say: "I have big cock and can fuck you. Your boy can fuck me. I can do everything." No one was insulted when we said we didn't want to buy them a drink or did not want them to sit with us. They would move on to the next chap. And, you are right FH, the prices are crazy cheap for so much entertainment.
