Frequent flyer miles can be had for lots of things besides flying, and I have accumulated tons of them by opening credit card accounts, checking accounts, and taking advantage of other offers. Our flight to Brazil was only 40,000 miles each. The catch was that the return trip was horrible. We were to fly GRU to DFW, stay there 12 hours, then fly to SFO, where we were to spend the night before flying home the next day in the afternoon. But, wisely, I went to the AA offices at the GRU airport, pointed out the lousy schedule, and got us rerouted directly home after going through customs at DFW. Not bad. But this post isn't about that anyway. On my United Mileage Plus page there was an offer of 50,000 miles for opening an Explorer credit card. Usually it is only 30,000, and the account I previously had opened, (and closed) only offered me 25,000 miles. So, I figured that they must want me back to offer me 50,000 miles. I was wrong. They let me open the account, spend the $2000 in qualifying purchases, and then denied me the 50,000 miles on the grounds that I had previously been rewarded when I opened the first account. Well, of course I protested, and they responded by citing the rule that only one offer was good in a 2 year period and I had had mine. So I wrote back and said, yes, but! You only gave me 25,000 miles, and now you are offering 50,000. You should at least give me the extra 25,000 so that I, too, got a total of 50,000 miles. They wrote back- I didn't fight this by email- and said okay, we will make an exception and give you the extra 25,000 miles. You know, that's often good for a free coach ticket domestically, nothing to sneeze at, right? So now my bank and I are on good terms again, and now I need to plan another trip. It goes to show that you shouldn't always take the first rejection!2 points

This morning I watched Cheyenne Jackson masturbate to orgasm. If there was any doubt it was him, he showed his face at the end. But now it can't be found. It's disappeared both from the site I viewed it on as well as Perez Hilton's. In case you are wondering, his dick is not all that big, but the orgasm was plentiful!1 point

Amazing and wonderful pictures. The H and I flew to Siem Reap a few years ago and really liked the place, as well as Angkor Wat. Lurkerspeaks, good ol' Wikipedia tells us: Angkor (Khmer: អង្គរ or នគរ, "Capital City")[1][2] is a region of Cambodia that served as the seat of the Khmer Empire, which flourished from approximately the 9th to 15th centuries. The word Angkor is derived from the Sanskrit nagara (नगर), meaning "city".[3] The Angkorian period began in AD 802, when the Khmer Hindu monarch Jayavarman II declared himself a "universal monarch" and "god-king", and lasted until the late 14th century, first falling under Ayutthayan suzerainty in 1351. A Khmer rebellion resulted in the 1431 sacking of Angkor by Ayutthaya, causing its population to migrate south to Longvek. The ruins of Angkor are located amid forests and farmland to the north of the Great Lake (Tonlé Sap) and south of the Kulen Hills, near modern-day Siem Reap city (13°24′N, 103°51′E), in Siem Reap Province. The temples of the Angkor area number over one thousand, ranging in scale from nondescript piles of brick rubble scattered through rice fields to the magnificent Angkor Wat, said to be the world's largest single religious monument. Many of the temples at Angkor have been restored, and together, they comprise the most significant site of Khmer architecture. Visitor numbers approach two million annually, and the entire expanse, including Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom is collectively protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This popularity of the site among tourists presents multiple challenges to the preservation of the ruins. In 2007, an international team of researchers using satellite photographs and other modern techniques concluded that Angkor had been the largest preindustrial city in the world, with an elaborate infrastructure system connecting an urban sprawl of at least 1,000 square kilometres (390 sq mi) to the well-known temples at its core.[4] The closest rival to Angkor, the Mayan city of Tikal in Guatemala, was between 100 and 150 square kilometres (39 and 58 sq mi) in total size.[5] Although its population remains a topic of research and debate, newly identified agricultural systems in the Angkor area may have supported up to one million people.[6]1 point

Day 2 in Siem Reap I woke up early today and headed downstairs for a good breakfast. The hotel provides a very nice buffet and I love omelets. The ones here were excellent. The have a wide variety of food for foreigners and locals. It was a lot of Asian delicacies as the majority of the guests are Asian tour groups. The hotel manager said mostly from Korea, China and Japan. I had arranged a tour guide for today. The cost was 25 USD for the day for the guide and the van was another 50 USD. We need a van as there were 3 of us and the guide and driver. We were told that most likely it would rain today but we booked the guide anyway. It did rain. The entire day. There were a few short breaks but we were soaked the entire day. Many of the photos you will see are in the rain. It was just a very cloudy and drizzly day today! The driver and guide were excellent and well worth the money. We stopped by an ATM first thing as I knew we would need American currency to pay for the tickets to get inside the Angkor Wat temples. The ATM's here dispense USD but most places take several forms of currency. The cost is 20 USD for one day, 40 for 3 days and 60 for a week. We were going to only get one day but we wanted to do one more temple the next day so we booked for 2 days. They take a photo of you and you are printed out a pass. From there we were off to see the amazing temples in the area. It truly is a marvelous site. There is so much to see and it is often up and down stairs and hiking in the trails. You can read about the temples from other sites but I'll say that seeing one of the 7 Wonders of the World is just something none of us will ever forget. It was not my first visit here but I did enjoy it so much better because the boys were here with me to experience it. I twisted my ankle in the first 10 minutes and the rest of the day was spent limping around. I still made the day but it was a bit painful. As soon as we got back, my foot went up but it was too late. The damage was done! We left a bit later than the other groups as the boys wanted to leave after 9. When we got to the main temple the guide suggested that we start at the other temples and end at Angkor. We agreed and off we went. One of my favorite temples was the one where Angelina Jolie filmed part of Tomb Raider. The trees covering the temple grounds are fabulous. I also loved the kids from the area all playing in the trees surrounding the temple. We did have tons of kids come up to us today to ask us to give them money or to buy something. After 10 thousand no, no, no, I had one kid ask me to buy a postcard and I told him to count to 100. He did. In English. I gave him some money as I thought he earned it. He was maybe 6 years old. I was told that 80 percent of the children in Cambodia now learn English in school. That came from the guide and I don't know how accurate but so far everyone we met including waiters and gas station attendants spoke very good English. After we finished our tour, and rested, I went for a long swim. The hotel has a salt water pool and it felt great after a long day hiking and trekking. The boys and I ate at the hotel and called it an early night. Sorry there are so many images. It was just one of those days that we all wanted to take a ton of photos. We ended up with over 2,000 images! LOL I won't put them all on there but here are a few samples.1 point

Think of it as the difference between a French kiss and a thimbleful of spit, or a blow job and draining a used condom, or rimming someone and - Hmm, I think I'll drop back and let AdamSmith carry on. Analogy's a pastime and I'll often have a go. Scatology's a calling and I'll leave it to a pro.1 point
