I bought some USB Flash Drives. No new phone today.

The food connoisseur Jomtien put me onto this 24/7 deliver place. The food is not fantastic and it is not as good as a real sub but it is very good and reasonably priced when you need a quick fix. Link for Ordering

LOL Ain't it funny how mobiles and bikes do that for Thai boys? It is computers and gadgets for me.

He just couldn't stay away! No, I am not referring to the infamous Catawampuscat. I had a guy I had been seeing a bit and I didn't want to see him 24/7 so I put him on retainer and told him I'd see him next week if he wanted. But, also said he was welcome to drop by anytime to say hi. Well, he showed up today with friends in tow and he hang out all night. Give them a little freedom, treat them with respect, shower them with love and kindness (mobiles and bikes) and they keep coming back for more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bETCusT5kNM

I went inside the new Restaurant / Bar that was once occupied by Villa Rouge and the FAMOUS Kaos! The place is fantastic. They have done a great job on the place. It reminds me of when Gary took over the Corner Bar and the entire Soi livened up. This is the same kind of great job that these guys did on it. It is comfortable, clean and fabulously decorated. I decided to try it for dinner and I had the Shepard's Pie and my friend a Spaghetti dish. They were both tasty and good. The place is off to a great start IMHO. Sunee Plaza is changing and places like this are great to see. Please stop by and support this bar, the Corner Bar and Yaya. They are all in the same area and run by great guys that are supportive of the gay community in Pattaya!

Boeing pulls the sheet off its biggest airliner ever this weekend, the 747-8 Intercontinental. It is an extreme makeover of the plane that ushered in the jumbo jet era, but despite its impressive tech and imposing size it won

A friend invited me to go to the Burapa Bike weekend in Pattaya. Thousands if not tens of thousands of bikes were gathered for the largest bike event in Thailand. The theme this year was cowboys and Indians. It was an amazing 2 day event! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGwjs8h-LaE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xSmBnEj-5U Above are some videos I took. Also attached one image a sexy Indian guy as well as my favorite bike of the day!

I am looking at a plan in the USA through Blue Cross / Blue Shield for a friend. I found the below which I want to be sure I understand fully. Does this mean that is MRI is 1,000,000 (I know high) then the insured is responsible for 200,000? Imaging and diagnostic tests (such as an X-ray, MRI, EKG) 20percent coinsurance (no out of pocket max)

Do you honestly think that even then they would be tried for anything?

Thanks guys. Some great advice. Please keep it coming! As to a PR firm, how would I go about finding one that is good in LOS?

I agree with most of what BKKguy said. I downloaded Apple's Word software called Pages and it opens all my word documents perfectly. I have found nothing that doesn't work well. I have movies on it that I converted to avi and they play perfectly. I have not checked out the IPad's competitors as I love my IPad and would not want another one. I have a great deal of money invested in apps for my IPad and thus, Apple has me hooked. I could not easily go to another device. Everything for me works great. But, Rich, if you want to try mine, let me know and you can come over one day and play with it and see how you like it surfing the Internet, etc.

I don't think he is an idiot. I think he is evil. I think Bush is an idiot. I don't think he is evil. I don't think Bush has the IQ to rise to the level of even. Cheney is scum and I hope one day they are all tried as war criminals.

Thank Ya! As always, keep up the good work!

Yeah, I didn't know till after I had made plans for dinner. So, I skipped it. I have never understood why venues don't give notice of when things are going to occur. Perhaps, it is a private party for their regular customers or perhaps they think that the PGW is sufficient advertising. I don't know the answer. I do wish all the venues would utilize all the forums to get out information. To not do so is, IMHO, Thai logic. TIT

Thanks for the heads up. That is very nice of you to post for them. I know most of the guys that run bars in Pattaya are not as Internet savvy as you and Mark from Krazy (obvious from your intelligent posts and your well organized sites) so it is kind of you to help them and get the word out. IMHO, that really shows class!

As some of you may know I have been working on a project for a couple of years dealing with starting a bicycle ride across Thailand that will benefit gay charities. The goal of the ride is to raise money for charities in Thailand. I want the money raised to go to worthwhile gay charities. I know there are many good charities in Thailand that are beneficial to the gay community as well as the larger community. What I'm looking for, is a list of charities that are directly related to helping gay and lesbian people in the community. Basically, what I'm looking for is to sponsor a bicycle ride where riders will be able to donate money to different charities across Thailand. It is my opinion, in order for this to be successful, the event should only raise money for charities that show full books and accounts. I realize that that will alienate some established charities, but I can't see any other way to do this. I don't want this thread to deteriorate into something nasty. However, I would appreciate the most diverse opinions as possible from our esteemed posting community. This trip will be something I put a great deal of time and money into so I want to do it right from the beginning and to avoid as much controversy as possible. I am looking for as many comments and suggestions as possible. What I envision with my ride, is that riders will be able to raise at least $1000 and 100% of this amount will go to one of their charity sponsors. Riders will not incur any expenses for a two-week to four week bicycle ride across Thailand. I will pay 100% of hotel, transportation, support etc. and will also cover most meals. That leaves the riders only with raising money for charity. I have not yet decided on a route for this trip but am considering either starting in Chiang Mai and going to Phuket or starting in Pattaya and going to Phuket. Part of this will depend on the tour leader as he will help with the planning of things and make sure this ride is comfortable for all. Again, I would appreciate any suggestions, help, or advice that anyone has to offer.

I have to agree with you. Diets will work for the short-term but they are never good for the long-term. What is needed in order to lose weight is a long-term plan of eating food that is good for you and refusing the food that is bad for you. That is where I have a hard time. Ordering McDonald's or KFC is never going to help someone get in shape. The best way that there is to lose weight is a consistent, daily exercise routine. It doesn't have to be a strenuous, hard-core, kill yourself kind of exercise, but it can be as simple as giving on the treadmill for 45 min. a day.

This was one of the most enjoyable movies that I saw this year. Colin Firth stars as the monarch and gives an outstanding performance. Helen Bonham Carter, the future queen mother, also does an outstanding job. One of my favorite actors in any movie is Geoffrey Rush. I can't get enough of Geoffrey Rush. And in this movie he gives another outstanding performance. The movie was simply a joy to watch. The acting was superb and the entire movie was enjoyable from the very beginning to the very end. For me, it reminded me that the Royals are simply people too. They have their flaws and their weaknesses. And while they may not have the same problems that many of us have on a day-to-day basis they do have their own set of problems. If I looked really hard, I'm sure that I will be able to find some fault in this film. I didn't look at it as a history lesson but more as a work of art. I did not look for the inaccuracies in the telling of the story. I only looked at the movie as a joy to watch.

It looks like the party is going to be a blast!

I do not think that this is going to be a difficult process for you. I transferred from a PC to a Mac many years ago. The first few weeks were difficult, but after that it was very easy. Are you worried about transferring documents? If so, getting the latest version of Microsoft Office Suite for Mac means that there is no transfer loss. If you were worried about transferring computer programs from the PC to the Mac, then that is a different story. At this time most software companies that make a program for PC will also make the same program from Mac. Most also are cross platform compatible. I have used Boot Camp myself and it is okay. I much prefer Parallels. Parallels runs simultaneously the Mac operating system and the Microsoft Windows operating system. I've also used Apple's migration assistant transferring from one Mac to another Mac and nothing has ever been simpler. I did not use it to transfer my PC to a Mac so I have no experience with that. Lookin, have you ever tried Parallels? If not, and you like to be able to work on your PC and your Mac at the same time without shutting down your computer, I suggest given and try. I have been using it for years with no problems.

I carry around DVDs that I like. I guess I have slightly over 250 DVD's that I enjoy. Years ago when customs was constantly checking everything I always check the DVDs. It made the entrance into the USA even longer. So I started leaving my DVD collection and USA after I burned many of the DVDs onto my computer. It took me about a week to burn the DVDs I wanted and keep them in my collection. But I would think that you would be able to find Heather's at TUT COM in Pattaya or MBK in Bangkok. My friend firecat uses one DVD guy right outside of Silom Soi 4. While this guy has mostly new movies, I'm sure if you are a regular and you asked, he would be happy to find most movies for you. I am sure you would also be able to download it from the Internet if you didn't search.

You are right and it is a shame. A friend from the USA that gets advanced copies of all the releases brought several with him. This was one of the ones he brought. When I saw him and I started discussing movies, both present and past, many names came out of the woodwork that I haven't thought of for years. Today I watched one of those old movies. The movie, Torchsong Trilogy, brought back so many memories of yesteryear. Matthew Broderick and Harvey Fairstein were excellent in this movie. It was also one of the first gay themed movies that I ever saw. Still to this day, I still have a crush on Matthew Broderick. For some reason, the nostalgia of the past has been out in full force this week. I spent time this week going over some of the nominated movies, and movies that I've seen before that I wanted to see again. Probably way too much time has been spent in front of the TV this week. I know that the pizza delivery service in Thailand has had a very good customer the past few days. The movie True Grit was a true joy to watch. Jeff Bridges did a phenomenal job in the movie. I also thought that Matt Damon did a great job. I enjoyed this movie a great deal and it also brought back memories of my childhood as my mother and father both loved Western flicks. There were some movies I just could not get into this week and I'll have to try harder next week to watch them for the nominations. One of them was starring Nicole Kidman and I was excited to see the movie until I started watching it. I just wasn't able to get into it. But my goal is to see all the nominated movies before the award ceremony. If I would stop watching things that weren't nominated perhaps I'll get to them all before the ceremony begins. Another movie I watched this week was Heather's. Heather's is a black comedy starring Christian Slater and Winona Ryder. Although I have seen the movie at least 20 times it still brings a smile to my face to see it again.My favorite scene in the movie is the father of the quarterback for the football team who says "I love my dead gay son." There are so many wonderful lines in this movie that one needs to go back and watch it over and over. If you haven't seen it, give it a try.
