In what sense does stealing tampons to impress an imaginary date work?

I used to go to the fabled Bottom Line nightclub in New York. They had separate menu's for Japanese people with inflated prices. In my deeply Trumpian hometown, there's a tax on hotel rooms. They have no prob putting aside their fervent anti-tax posturing to squeeze outsiders for a few bucks. Europe is contemplating visitor fees in places like Venice. Most cruise ships pay to dock in a port. Those fees are hidden in the cruise price. Thailand does none of these things.

And they say romance is dead.

What about eating a hot dog without the bun -grey area?

For many women, a menage au Bob is a sexual bucket list must.

In Appalachia, my father in law had a statue of a cartoony black jockey eating a slice of watermelon. He had it out by the edge of his lawn, so dogs could pee on it. On the other hand, he thought having a confederate flag was trashy.

If they can raise the div above inflation, and will, and have, then a stock bought at about 4.5% yield or a muni ETF in that range is as good as life gets. Pension funds and endowments are all buying these same stocks -as are the income elf's- so they're not so volatile. 95% of retirees should be buying about 10% of income stocks. Treat them as bonds that (hopefully) keep up with inflation.

Call it Hendrix to U2, 15 mind-blowing years, the likes of which will never be seen again. I like to read books about acts I have no interest in. Phil Collins autobiography was great. So I bought this very serious book about Steely Dan, of whom I have never given a passing thought. https://utpress.utexas.edu/9781477324998/ They seem like Traffic on Quayludes, prob a one and done for me

I'm value-dividend. So selling is rare. If they don't raise the div for 2 years, it's time to look elsewhere. But if it's a high yielder throwing off 5-8%, it can def blunder along for a while.

'Prefer not to go a whole week without Italian food.

.....Wiki tells me that Yellow Curry was adapted from the British Navy's use of yellow curry powder. It's sweeter and less spicy than trad Thai curries. Throw in more chili and it's called Sour Curry (again mostly found in The South). So is it authentic? It dates back to the mid-19th century. So I say its authentic by now.

It's def for real down south. The yellow-making turmeric aspect has Muslim roots. 'Had some nice ones in Hua Hin.

I bought her a Diptych candle. $100, Oud scent. Once you try Diptych, you can never go back to a cheap candle. She already has two Diptychs on the go.

How many baht did it cost? I never ear street food (other than 3-4 roti a year). Will you go off green curry now? For me, it's usually a very ungreeny letdown. Massaman too (too sweet). Red curry seems to most reliably deliver the curry goods. Yellow is almost never seen on a Chiang Mai menu.

After a few days, you're prob past the phase where antibiotics would help. Drink electrolytes and sleep a lot. Tell us about the curry. In England, I had the super-hot Phaal Curry. Def. a colon blaster. Invented in Bradford, I think.

Yeah, just a low value, humorless, nasty crank. Let's never interact again.

When is the funny part -I mean, for others?

Gay men have greater access to promiscuous sex than straight men. They don't have to move to Pattaya or pay. If men could meet women and shag behind a bush, they would. At least, I would.

No one will remember your dopey leg humping 20 minutes from now. People are here for laughs or info. You're here......why again?

Yes. My wife passed out in a restaurant. The ambulance was there in 7 minutes (Old City). There was no charge.

.....And you talk here about mopping hospital floors. Teamwork makes a marriage.

It ruins a roti. Apple sauce -that would be great on a roti. How can we make this cultural mashup happen?

Just a lot of very brit harrumphing and self back patting. Time for you to sally forth into your next imaginary internet triumph. And then pat yourself anew. What motivates you to do this?

The funny thing is: Most people on this forum never had it so good. In their entire lives.

Scenery is very bare, but beautiful. Not much diff if you're looking out of a minivan or a train window, given the many empty stretches. It's a bit brutal to do in one go. Overnight in Poipet for some sleazy fun. I'd fly instead, it's not expensive. Coming back to Thailand via the Eastern Seaboard is another scenery-fest.
