That compound (with a main house of 5150 square feet, multiple additional bungalows, and 36 acres/14.6 hectares of land) was purchased weeks before JvdB died. Do you actually think he would have made the purchase, with his impending death, if he felt his surviving family wouldn't have the income to make the payments and additional living expenses? Unthinkable! And the widow did admit to the press that they did have health insurance (as required by law), but made vague claims of uncovered expenses. I'd rather help the needy than a rich swindler (the wife, not JvdB).

I’ve been in Queretaro, Mexico for a week and wanted to give a short report. I’ve been getting a lot of hits on Grindr since the day I arrived. The problem is, I have become very picky in my old age, and most of the guys are not what I am looking for. The few who are my type, flaked out. In the past week, I’ve met two guys. A cute 21-year old, and a hot guy who said he was 28, but looked younger. There definitely is potential here if you are looking to meet people for fun, and are not as picky as I am. There are also guys on Mileroticos, and there is a men’s club - Cronos Men’s Club, with a sauna, steamroom, jacuzzi and gloryholes, near where I am staying. But, Queretaro is a wondeful place. It’s in central Mexico, north of Mexico City, about an hour south of San Miguel de Allende. In the highlands, it’s warm during the day and cool at night, about a 40 degree (F) temperature difference. Very comfortable. The people are super friendly. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage site and the historic center is filled with beautiful buildings - ex-convents, churches, museums, and Porfirian-era mansions. There’s also a huge aqueduct built with pink stone. The food scene is solid and there are coffee shops and cafes everywhere, as well as plazas which are active day and night. It’s been a really fun trip and I’m fine with the fact that I haven’t really hooked up with that many people. My Airbnb is great - newly remodeled, 1-bedroom, a few blocks from the historic center. Nice bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, living room, and laundry area, averaged about $44/night, so it was super affordable. One of my retirement goals is to visit a new place in Mexico every year, and this was perfect. It doesn’t seem to be on the gringo/digital nomad radar yet, so if you’re looking for a place to hang out for a bit, check it out. You’ll be pleasantly surprised. Next, I’m going to try Durango, in the north. Maybe I’ll meet some hot cowboys.

The Barmy Army did indeed exist in Pattaya with @Gaybutton as either its leader or one of its regular members. I seem to recall they met weekly at a bar in Sunee. Apart from drinking, chatting, telling tories of Pattaya in general and the old days in particular, I recall reading nothing more.

I watch to enjoy and learn.

And you always trust what you read in People magazine??? It was reported today that Steven Spielberg has donated US$25,000 to the GoFundMe site. I hardly think he would throw around his cash unless he believed it was for a needy cause. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/feb/13/steven-spielberg-dawson-leery-idol-donates-25000-to-james-van-der-beek-fundraiser

In the Olympics, I watch mainly the artistic stuff such as figure skating, ice dancing, freestyle skiing/snowboarding, and so on. I personally find it boring to watch people go down a hill in skis, luge, bobsled, etc., just to see how who can get down faster within fractions of a second. But I do admire the athleticism in those who express themselves artistically with skill, strength, and talent.

As I said above, I agree about the image. Especially about the "liberal elite" part. That said, at least in the context of California, it is less an image problem than an image solution. Newsom has been politically successful as both a Mayor and a Guv. For lots of LGBTQ Americans he was the strongest fighter out there for same sex marriage as Mayor of San Francisco. Unlike Gray Davis, he survived a recall attempt almost 2 to 1. He got his gerrymandering law passed by whopping margins. So whatever the image he is trying to project is, it is working. Again, in California. The rest of the nation? That's a good question. A good case can be made that Newsom will be to 2028 as Biden was to 2020, but without two big Biden liabilities. Biden won in part because he ran down the center lane in the primary, even though to many people outside the party it was center-left. Bloomberg got nowhere, and Sanders and Warren couldn't get to 50 % even running separately. Buttigieg was the other potential center lane candidate. Once he got in bed with Biden it was game over. AOC or someone like her will be the left-wing candidate. To single out Beshear Democrats have won every time we nominated a Southern Democrat, at least the first time out. But at least as of now his national poll numbers are nowhere. And I just think there will be too many progressives against a moderate like Beshear or Shapiro. The other notable center lane candidates are Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg. Newsom will run as someone who is neither a darling of, nor despised by, the progressives and Trump haters. What Newsom does not have that Biden had is an age problem. And he has run the largest economy in the nation, and one of the largest economies in the world, effectively for two terms. He has a 60 % approval rating. Many people think Democrats should run a Governor in 2028. I am one of them. It remains to be seen whether Harris's association with 2024 and Biden will cripple her. Having observed them in California politics, Newsom is the more likely Californian to articulate what he is for and against. We have an embarrassment of riches. Beshear, Shapiro, Moore, Newsom, and Whitmer - in that order - are on the list of 12 most popular Guvs in America. All have approval ratings over 60 % right now. Of the top 12, Beshear is the only one who governs a state dominated by the opposite party.

Yes, it was named Richard's Pub, and it was popular with the older set, as you mentioned. Richard's Pub on Silom Soi 2 closed about 2011.

MauRICE Could u plz share with us some techniques of picking up non-mb. Sex aside, I really AM intrstd in them as human beings, but I havent the faintest clue how a 68 y/o farang approaches a nice young local stranger....

Your Bad Bunny spanish lessons are paying off. My comment addressed the fact that Trumps & co whole purpose is "to make America WHITE again", and everything he does circles back to that end, however else he chooses to frame it..... However pushback is growing as his efforts intensify and become more extreme, as Americans dont see this country as being wholly WHITE, by its populace alone....And the Trump WHITES continue to be triggered and angered by THAT fact.... THEY need to get over it ! Comprende ahora ? 😏

For me, Newsome is a "social media" figure, very much like an "influencer, more interested in viral moments than legislation. I like him, but I am really not a fan of his online footprint, which seems to get all the press.....And he also impresses me as a "liberal elite", the type that the right hates...... So who knows.....there are other great candidates, but that would mean picking someone with political substance, over Newsome who is basically a social media figure to me. (however, I do LIKE the way he trolls Trump).... anything that can give Trump a heart attack, I SUPPORT . And Dems need to get out of their OWN way, but I am not sure they CAN, so I am reserving my optimism. The Dems need to curb the Trump Derangement, and get on with working class Americans business. The affordability issues seem to be getting LOST in the shuffle ?.

First, I don't live a privileged life. But you know that, Sis. I have always aspired to your level of elegance. I have just never been able to achieve it. But, please. Don't feel sorry for me. 😉 I do live a middle class life and it is full of middle class Mexican Americans where I live. A few of them were telling me back in Trump 1.0, in the days of "rapists," that Trump is no worse than Obama in their eyes. Who was Deporter In Chief, as I said above. The people who are NOT in my life really are the working class White people who see this stuff or, more likely, just read the stuff about raping Mexicans who eats cats and dogs and get enraged. There is no question a lot of Democrats, not just Whites, were not happy with Biden's immigration policies. We may disagree on this one, Sis. But my point is that, with the benefit of hindsight, Democrats fucked themselves by pandering to left-wing groups that simply do not represent middle America. Including middle American Hispanics, like the Tejanos down at the border. A lot of them voted for Trump because they felt Biden went too far. And now they clearly feel Trump has gone too far. Will Trump compromise? Who the fuck knows. My main point is that if all Democrats can do for two years running up to 2028 is confront Trump and impeach him again, it's just more bullshit that turns off the moderates and Independents Democrats need. I hope the strategy is to show Democrats can get shit done. And from 2026 to 2028 that has to mean they can get shit done with Trump. He's a lame duck anyway at that point. I feel the same way about the Presidency. It will be interesting to see. I have an almost knee jerk fear that Democrats will nominate Gavin Newsom. I like him, and I vote for him. But there is this whole thing about how other people feel about liberals from California. It did not help Harris. Why not nominate the moderate pretty country boy from Kentucky instead? Or the moderate Jew from Pennsylvania? That said, Newsom can be all things to all people. And being able to say he lives in an immigrant state and "I can get shit done" may be a winning ticket in 2028. He lives in a state that, for all its warts, is a prosperous melting pot. If Trump can't or won't deal with Democrats on immigration, it opens the door for Newsom to say, "I can do that. Let me. We know how to build a middle class and working class immigrant economy in California." Hell, even JD Vance liked it here. His Indian American wife grew up in the burbs of San Diego.

Lo siento. No puedo entenderte, pendeja

Update Feb 2026: many of the same faces on Ferchos are showing up here. So you may want to check Fercho’s listings since his arrangement is more economic than SpaMed.
