And one more of the horrendous queue which is why I will never go again, even if I could age backwards by 10 years v14044g50000d59vjs7og65k32lgin50.mp4

Here are some videos from this year. The party itself can be fun if you’re young, ripped, and have friends to go with. v24044gl0000d58pi97og65ruqarmi30.mp4 v14044g50000d592dn7og65k9ap913hg.mp4 v12044gd0000cm8v5ffog65q9bq3to60.mp4 v14044g50000d59u9gfog65k0fdt72ng.mp4

I would pay not to go….but the guys are easy on the eyes.

Thanks for the info. Does not look the least bit appealing to me. Actually, sounds quite dreadful. lol.

Tonight is the end, they rented Paragon hall (as in the mall) and expect ove 40000 guys to show up. Depending on add it’s either Asias largest dance party or the worlds largest new years dance party, and no I’m not going. lots of people on grinder have it in Grinder list it in profile in CV lauding two people 0ft away.

When is White Party over? Perhaps once it is over places won't be as crowded and busy. Never really heard of it until this post, but am assuming it is one of the big gay circuit parties that are held numerous places around the world. Not something that would appeal to me, probably.

lol. I can find any age and build in Denver, but no Asian boys. In Bangkok, Asian boys are my only interest. I didn't travel halfway around the world just to get what I can in my own backyard.

I exchanged LINE with a couple of masseurs I really liked at shops I visited on this last trip, but we don't really message back and forth. The understanding when exchanging info was that I would get in touch with them directly the next time I was in Bangkok instead of going through the shop. I don't really plan to let them know in advance of my travel plans. I did exchange info with my grinder fellow who kept asking for financial support, so I ended up blocking him. My other special friend will only occasionally reach out for a chat maybe every couple of weeks. I am ok with that, as I really like him.

From Google: Why the USPS Loses Money The U.S. Postal Service isn’t a typical business. By law, it must behave like a business and a public utility at the same time. That creates built-in conflicts. Here are the biggest structural money-losers: 1. The Universal Service Obligation (USO) USPS must deliver to every address in America, no matter how remote, at the same price. Private carriers (UPS, FedEx) do not do that. They charge extra for rural, remote, or hard-to-access locations. USPS can’t opt out. That obligation costs billions a year. 2. Congress Controls Prices The Postal Service cannot independently raise postage prices like a normal business could. Price increases require regulatory approval and are tightly capped by law, meaning revenue cannot grow as fast as costs. 3. Declining First-Class Mail First-class mail (bills, letters, cards) used to be the profit engine of USPS. Now it’s been collapsing for 20 years because of email, online bill-pay, digital everything. Packages help, but margins are lower and Amazon negotiates very good rates. 4. Competition is Allowed to Cherry-Pick UPS and FedEx only compete in profitable segments. USPS must handle the expensive categories they avoid. So USPS subsidizes a high-cost network without the higher-margin flexibility its competitors enjoy. 5. Congress-Imposed Financial Burdens This is the one that almost no other organization in the country faces. The infamous pre-funding mandate Passed in 2006, the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act forced USPS to: → Pre-fund 75 years of future retiree health benefits Not pensions, but healthcare. And to pre-pay them in a 10-year window. No other federal agency or private company in the U.S. has ever been required to do this. For years, this mandate alone turned what would have been operational profits into billions in losses. Partially repealed in 2022, but the financial damage lingers. Would allowing USPS to offer banking services help? Absolutely. And it’s not a new idea. Most countries’ postal systems offer banking: Japan Post Bank La Banque Postale (France) Royal Mail-backed banking (UK) Brazil, Italy, Germany… the list goes on These banks: generate steady revenue serve low-income and rural communities reduce dependence on taxpayer bailouts USPS used to offer simple banking from 1911 to 1967 and it was wildly successful. If USPS could again offer: bill payment small loans check cashing money transfers savings accounts …it would create a stable, profitable revenue stream and reduce predatory lending in poor communities. Congress has blocked it under lobbying pressure. Would removing the pre-funding requirement help? It already did. When Congress finally rolled it back in 2022: USPS wiped away over $50 billion in paper losses Annual financial pressure dropped dramatically But the damage from 15 years of impossible obligations hasn’t fully evaporated. Removing it earlier would have changed the entire financial trajectory of the USPS. Bottom Line USPS loses money because Congress set it up with contradictory missions and financial handcuffs. If the Postal Service was allowed to: operate more like a business in pricing, drop the outrageous pre-funding mandate, expand into simple banking, and modernize revenue streams… …it would likely be profitable or close to break-even. The problem isn’t incompetence. The problem is Congress.

I am a long time member of another gay forum going back probably 20+years. I was initially referred to that forum by my best friend. I am not nearly as active on that forum, mostly just reading general posts of interest, but it is certainly not as welcoming and friendly as this forum. There is a lot of passive/aggressive behavior and even outright aggressiveness on that forum, so I rarely post any comments. Since I joined that forum so many years ago, it has gone through a number of leadership/owner changes. I believe some members of this forum are also members there, so may know what I am talking about. What is interesting to me about that forum is there was an unexpected and unfortunate death of the owner due to COVID. Many members of that forum thought it was basically the end of the site, but several members banded together who had expertise and experience in computers, others offered financial support, and under new ownership and a slightly different leadership structure the site continues and thrives. I am much more active on this forum and often find myself checking it a couple of times each day looking forward to reading the posts. As I already mentioned, members here are much more positive, encouraging, and welcoming. I would hope if something ever happened to ownership of this site that something similar would transpire and we would continue in some way. It does seem that the majority of active participants are older...myself included.

I actually looked up his photo again to see if that indecipherable chest tattoo might be a tiger’s head… but it is a deer in a forest 😆 He was in the Christmas videos I posted so guessing answer is yes

I was gobsmacked by the other thread enquiring if certain well known forum members had passed away! Wasn’t there a nicer way to ask if they had been active recently 😅

Sooner or later the US Postal Service is going to be forced to cut back on daily deliveries. Just this week I read an article that said they are $9 billion dollars in the red. They find themselves in a 'catch-22' situation. They have had a lucrative contract with Amazon for a number of years and Amazon has been trying to negotiate an extension of the current agreement for over a year. Amazon uses private and public delivery services, as well as their own trucks, depending on location. USPS has decided to put some delivery services up for auction, which was a surprise to Amazon. By doing so, the USPS is taking a huge risk that Amazon will take their business elsewhere which would cause even more financial difficulties. Kind of a no win situation for USPS. https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/24/business/usps-amazon-deal I don't see how USPS can realistically continue to provide delivery service to every household six days a week given the high cost of operating and the reduced volume. Just doesn't make good business sense. However, I also don't think they can completely eliminate the service like Denmark. I imagine there would be a huge public outcry if they tried to do that here.

I enjoyed your post enough to look up the cruise. It looks magnificent indeed but the price is magnificent too. The Anantara option is between 160,000-200k baht!

Yes now I try to only exchange Line with guys I have exceptional rapport. One of my fears used to be guys who asked for my Line immediately, either at the bar upon first meeting or during first off. After a few years I hardened my heart and started fibbing that I did not have Line. But because I have a bad poker face, I always have a panicked deer in the headlight expression and it is clear to the boy I am lying. And what do you do with the more persistent ones who then ask for alternatives like WhatsApp, or more intrusively, Facebook? Lie that I have no phone when it is clearly in my hand and they’ve seen me using it? The irony is, the guy above that I had to hunt down, he actually asked for my Line quite early on but because I was “enforcing” my own policy of not handing out my details, I firmly said I did not have Line and congratulated myself for sticking to my guns. He knew I was lying, but politely did not pursue it. Turned out he was the only guy I wanted to see again very much and had to pay for the privilege.

Your stamp collection is well documented 🧐

There's an understatement 😆

I look forward to the unpredictability of his (their) questions.... just never know what it'll be, lol

Don't leave us in suspense..... but keep in mind, not everyone has use for gold faucets.

it must be true. Last summer I was tasked with emptying mail box of my friend who went for 3 months long vacation. Total number of pieces of mail he received in that period was FIVE, all bank statements. Likely other countries will be watching closely how Danish experiment will play. I consider myself heavy user of postal services but even I think twice a week pick up and delivery would be sufficient. On another hand all that rush to digitize our affairs will have sad consequences when we start losing our faculties, forgetting first passwords, then even in what bank our money is . If no records of those will be left somewhere I don't envy executors or people taking care of their loved ones with dementia.

It was never closed! I assume you are referring to the mega earthquake near Mandalay in Myanmar which did affect Bangkok, but very little in low-lying districts. Bnagkok does not lie on an earthquake fault line, whereas Chiang Mai and the north does. I added some photos to my earlier post which may or may not be of interest.

you are so cheerfull

we will learn in due course in the future

on this forum he was posting as williewillie
