As always, it will come down to turn-out. Joe's a bucket of warm spit, but Trump's a bucket of warm you-know-what.

The voting against Trump will be higher than the voting against Biden -just like if I had to choose between those buckets if I had to drink from one

Who's more motivated -abortion-ragers or border-worriers? We'll know soon enough.

My money's on the abortion ragers. Quite the landmine for Trump in the debates and beyond.

Biden can say, "I tried on the border, but they were just too nuts". What's the Republican waffle on abortion?

A lot of seriously looks-mismatched relationships are kinky. I mean, duh.

Partic true when you see a Brad Pitt-type with a fattie. Most hot, submissive-lifestyle women start at size 12.

How badly do you want to be the dark lord and master? Since these women are practically never single, many, many men do.

When I popped into the Demonia Fetish Club in Bangkok, it seemed like Thailand's entire obese women population had convened there to wear rubber dresses.

Don't believe the Dakota Johnson/50 shades of grey-hype. If you want to tie up the average kinky woman, you will need a lot more rope than you thought.

And: Married thrice. One died, one grew to hate the very sight of me (English), the third one is likely good till the grave.

In '64, I was 11, and hoping the stupid Beatles would go away.

Early Motown, Early James Brown, New Orleans Rhythm and Blues -they crushed it all like a tank. They worshipped Chuck Berry too, but that didn't stop them from quickly rendering him to history's trash heap.

My mother had a mob boyfriend who would bring me a bag of singles each week from his money laundering juke boxes (why the juke box was invented, really). I'd get a lot of Vic Damone and Sinatra in the mix too. Histrionic Vicky Carr and Frank remain high in my esteem, but once I heard JB, I was gone from crooner-dom for good. 

Said my mother's paramour whenever he came over: "Get that sweaty <deleted> off the record player and put on The Sound Of Music".

Why is Mexico City so smoggy?

 

 

Otherwise I agree; lot to see and very rich in arts but won't be back.

 

Tried it, but the area's you might live in comprise an area smaller than the Chiang Mai old city. The city is laid out so that you are constantly confronted by an eight lane mega-road or other you have to cross. The downtown historic district really shuts down after dark.

Weird quirk: hard to find an apartment with air conditioning. Everything was $1,200 a month plus. Renting in Zona Roma would be as hard  and expensive as renting in Soho or Greenwich Village (Thai food options: adequate). Loved that it had proper bookstores and Sun Ra playing in them, but it was easy to get bored after a month.

Def no cheery Thai-style sanuk vibe. Medium hostility about Yanquie Gentrification. Less English spoken then in Chiang Mai too.

And: someday, the mother of all earthquakes awaits you -we know not when- due to Mex City being built on a sinking, old lake bottom. 

Looked in on Quetetaro too. More spread out than the other mountain towns, and a fair bit duller.

I forget the name for it, but they had a bad idea-sandwich where the bread is served sopping wet, covered in red sauce. Yuck. Do you love low grade, gristly pork?  Because you'll be eating it twice a day, if you're lucky.

The day after Thailand opened up post covid, I left.

San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato

 

"In fact, it's one of the safest cities in all of Mexico

 

Tried it for a month 3 years ago. Didn't see a one bed room for less than $1,500 and those were scarce and out of town.

Very small, not much bigger than Nan. Good but not great restaurant selection. I stayed at the Zen Center for $10 a night. Maybe 3 people show up on a busy night at the Zen Center

Supposedly, it has the largest proportion of older western woman expats in the world, surpassing even Bali. Those old hags must have been in hiding -and hiding out from Zen too.

Guanajuato had more life to it, but was another 3 day town. They have a Thai restaurant. But not one you'd go to twice. If you go to two of these mountain towns with expensive silver and craft stores, you can skip the rest.

The restaurant's photo the OP posted looks like only two ribs to me. 

 

That said, the actual meal does not look very appetizing. 

Agreed. Poss kitchen error on the skimpy French fries?

Tho on average, the fries portion in Thailand is (thankfully) smaller than in the west.

Anything to say that doesn't involve juvenile insults?

 

For me at this mature stage of drunken whoremonger forum participation, almost certainly not.

I love TBL. No one has praised him here more than me. He's like Bukowski, trapped in New Zealand.

But would I take political advice from NZ Bukowski? From a socialist, tit-sucking faux hardman poseur?

No. I mean, duh.

She has a lot of chronic health problems. That's why I always encourage her to order the dozen oysters, not the half-dozen.

It looks like you're going pretty much by the book for your age,

 

 

 

 

Another consideration: No need to provide for heirs beyond my wife. She's 10 years younger, but will likely go before me.

I am reminded of the lesson of Howard Hughes's butler: When asked how much money Howard left, he replied, "well, he left all of it". We are front loading and upgrading our travel plans.

Our Christmas tree biz is a fluke. My wife grew up in the Veuve Cliquot region for Christmas tree-growing (Blue Ridge Mountains) due the unique climate.

You plant 'em (or someone else does and takes half the money), you give 'em a light trim and fertilization every year, and they are impervious to drought, insects, everything. They are a rare plant that does well on a poor soil hill slope, so otherwise useless land is valuable where we live.

The tree's for Rockefeller Center or the White House often come from our area. A Rockefeller Center tree costs about $15K wholesale, but it's a 20 year wait to get paid. Bunting (pine roping used for rails, stairwells ect.) makes more money than the trees. 20 years ago, it was just useless trim that was thrown away.

I'm 71 (today). I invest for current income first and capital preservation second. Growth, third.

My allocation:

15% muni high yield via VWAHX (one of the few HY Muni funds without Puerto Rico bonds -I got burned).

15% broad muni ETF (MUB)

30% mix of high and middling div stocks (including 5% foreign)

10% MLP and REIT's (for income, not growth).

20% S+P ETF (to get a little growth in the mix)

10% Foreign Stock ETF (15% total is a standard allocation for foreign stocks)

I'm following a Morningstar-style bucket strategy. In a crash, I can collect income off of 70% of my portfolio and wait it out for a comeback without selling anything. This is a low growth, high yield approach. 

Also have a 2 year income pile in Bangkok Bank, a heart attack fund, and a Christmas tree farm back in the states.

Christmas trees are only going straight up in price. But you have to wait. It's one year, one foot, one dollar accrued per tree.

Mike, I too sub to Morningstar, and also Seeking Alpha. SA has a lot of fluff, but also decent analysis of REIT's and MLP's, which are less covered elsewhere.

Most Johnny Try-hard post ever?

Please think about breathing into a paper bag. before posting again.

I'm def here much less these days. Not that anyone is crying about that.

Reason: No BigNok or BobSmith -and may as well add the deeply great StickyRiceBalls to that Mount Rushmore of titans. Less Britmantoo is another downer.

Still worship AnotherFarang and the Kramer-guy, but they're not enough to cause me to linger. GeorgiaGeorgia as a prime poster is truly a canary in the mines moment.

I still look in every day, but without something humorous to post on, I'm quickly outa here. Even zestilly thumping TrumpTrash on their retard noses has gotten passe'. I get a ton of likes for it, but increasingly, the juice is just not worth the squeeze.

My father told me that if she fishes the lemon or orange slice out of a cocktail and eats it, she's a blimp in waiting.

Went to Samoa. Like a dirty Hawaii.

I used 66 realty. Check out their site.

Question:  Do you ever find your writing style to be a bit dense and stilted?  Or, is it just me?

 

Of course, when one deigns to publish their work on a public site, such as TV, then one should not only expect critique, but one should also be willing to meticulously find fault in what one writes, even before submitting it for public viewing.

 

Not sure whether or not you might agree.

 

I am now considering offering my services to writers on TV as a writing consultant, either for free if the budding writer is poor, or for donations to a good cause if the aspirant is rich.

 

Hit me up, if you would take me up on this one-time offer.

 

I am sure that we can cut your verbosity down to size, quite easily, in order to make it more readable, not only to you, but to everyone else.

 

Don't delay, is my best advice to you....

 

Best regards,

Banning monks from feeding all the dogs that hang out at the temples would be a good place to start.

The government dictating to The Sangha? That doesn’t even work in Commie Laos.

As a fellow PTSD sufferer, I urge the OP to spend some around dogs in an ultra chill vibe.

This post is the opposite of self care.

Chinese tourists will be seeing the dog holocaust and saying, damn we could have had that for lunch.

Maybe the next Amazing Thailand campaign?

And what if you kill the wrong head case’s dog?

This dog eradication idea - it seems disasterously half-baked.

I have problems with burning a Buddha or a Koran, Do you?
 

 Buddha statues are often fake-aged by burning them. Sometimes, they say it was from a temple fire. Has anyone here ever seen a wat ablaze?

300,000 unnecessary Covid deaths, 1700 from fattie urging retards to drink aquarium solvents.
 

If you love him, show it by drinking a bleach cocktail tonight -that’s after you shove a light bulb up your keister, which was his plan B.
