Although it's been a decade since I've been there, one of my favorite places in Budapest was the Palatinus Bath on Margaret Island. It's an outdoor complex of pools and mineral baths with lots of eye candy. At the time I was there, the rooftop of the building with lockers and showers was full of gay sunbathers, and the building itself was loaded with Romanian hustlers. Easy to spend an afternoon, and convenient by streetcar. Any of the ancient bathhouses are fun and, once again, hosted plenty of Romanian hustlers. Two I enjoyed especially were the Király and the Rudas. If the park Mvan1 mentions is the one I'm thinking of, it's at the foot of the Margit Bridge on the Pest side. The bench facing the river was again well-stocked with Romanian hustlers. I asked someone why and it turns out, at the time, Budapest was as far west as Romanians could go without hard-to-get papers and the lads were looking to make some easy money. How easy it was I don't know, as the ones in the park apparently had a pimp who kept them hopping. As a general rule, I'd leave my jewels in the safe and carry the minimum of cash. The Gellért Hotel on the Buda side was very nice and I stayed there my first night. Then my friend and I found a two-bedroom apartment for the remainder of our stay. The owner sent his cute assistant to collect us from the Gellért. I generally prefer to live amongst the locals and avoid luxe accommodations but an initial night or two in a westernized hotel may give you a welcome comfort level for further exploration of an exciting city. Enjoy! PS: Didn't mean to imply that the baths in Budapest are in any way as open and businesslike as those in Rio. Any stolen moments in the baths themselves will be either in a corner or underwater. I've spent so many years skulking in the shadows, it didn't occur to me to mention it. And I sure wouldn't want any of my fellow-posters holidaying in a Hungarian hoosegow.

I've been pretty inactive the past five months but am making up for it this week in Southern Califo

Spellcheck gem-o-the-day, and many thanks as it got me wondering whatever became of Donald Trump's sons. Donald, Jr., 37, heir apparent Eric, 31, hair apparent

I had to go to Walgreens today to pick some stuff up. I asked the pharmacist about this price increase. He said prices started going up a couple dollars a month starting last year. I'm interested in 100 mg . He said they are running between $40 & $45 each now. He said to go online and buy it from Canada where it is still around $20 ea. He blamed the price increases on drugs on Obamacare. I'm headed to Bangkok next week and did some googling and it appears to be around $15 there. So I'm going to wait till I get out of the country.

The odd thing is that although these outlets list the medication online, at the store, they will say they dont have it and cant get it, and will steer you toward Revatio, which is the Brand for Sildenafil, and $37 a pill. The convenience of my little Russian makes the $1 per pill even more attractive. Let the boners wave......

Wait, do not neglect TV aka Top Value stamps. This could "easily" apply to escorts. Best regards, RA1

I wish to take this opportunity to Thank TomCal 1000 times for sharing his real world experiences on these boards. Unlike a lot of the folks here he actually goes out and lives a life filled with travel,adventure and sex with beautiful men. Tom-please keep up the fun times!

I take the Fifth.....

Hell no! Although, I'd be happy to marry an entire group of hot Baptists. I'd say 11 would be a good number. I'll even offer them wine and bread.

So are you getting any pressure yet to settle down and marry some nice Baptist boy?

+1 for both RA1 & AS. Lookin rules.

A meet & fitting order of precedence.

Sorry but I read lookin before MS. Dowd. Best regards, RA1

Selvage!

"that hitch hiker would make a nice visitor to a guest's room in Porto Alegre (or any room, in any city, for that matter" I've had him and I certainly agree. He makes a nice personal trainer too (his day-job) and tho he's bulked up more now, and is verging on what I deem 'steroidal' in size, he remains eager and willing to please.

OK, the name of the site I found is GoodRx.com. Apparently the site has some kind of referral/kickback arrangement with pharmacies and that's how they make their money. The small print does say that the prices are not guaranteed, lol. However it does list one online source, HealthWarehouse, @ $67.50/ 90 tablets.

Dowd is pretty harsh. And accurate. Anchors Aweigh Maureen Dowd WASHINGTON -- THIS was a bomb that had been ticking for a while. NBC executives were warned a year ago that Brian Williams was constantly inflating his biography. They were flummoxed over why the leading network anchor felt that he needed Hemingwayesque, bullets-whizzing-by flourishes to puff himself up, sometimes to the point where it was a joke in the news division. But the caustic media big shots who once roamed the land were gone, and there was no one around to pull his chain when he got too over-the-top, as one NBC News reporter put it. It seemed pathological because Williams already had the premier job, so why engage in résumé inflation? And you dont get those jobs because of your derring-do. When Williams was declared the hair apparent to Tom Brokaw in 1995, hailed by Jay Leno as NBCs stud muffin, I did a column wondering why TV news programs only hired pretty white male clones. I asked Williams if he was an anchor android. Not that Im aware of, he said gamely, in his anchor-desk baritone. I can deny the existence of a factory in the American Midwest that puts out people like me. Williams told friends last week that he felt anguished, coming under fire for his false story of coming under fire. Although the NBC anchor had repeated the Iraq war tall tale, ever more baroquely, for more than a decade, when he cited it on his Jan. 30 broadcast during a segment about going to a Rangers game with a retired, decorated soldier who had been on the ground that day when he landed, Williams got smacked down on Facebook. A crew member from a Chinook flying ahead of Williams, who was involved in the 2003 firefight, posted, Sorry dude, I dont remember you being on my aircraft. I do remember you walking up about an hour after we had landed to ask me what had happened. Stars and Stripes ran with it, and, by Saturday, Williams announced that he was stepping down for several days. Social media the genre that helped make the TV evening news irrelevant by showing us that we dont need someone to tell us every night what happened that day was gutting the institution further. Although Williamss determination to wrap himself in others valor is indefensible, it seems almost redundant to gnaw on his bones, given the fact that the Internet has already taken down a much larger target: the long-ingrained automatic impulse to turn on the TV when news happens. Although there was much chatter about the revered anchor and the moral authority of the networks, does anyone really feel that way anymore? Frothy morning shows long ago became the more important anchoring real estate, garnering more revenue and subsidizing the news division. One anchor exerted moral authority once and that was Walter Cronkite, because he risked his career to go on TV and tell the truth about the fact that we were losing the Vietnam War. But TV news now is rife with cat, dog and baby videos, weather stories and narcissism. And even that fare caused trouble for Williams when he reported on a video of a pig saving a baby goat, admitting we have no way of knowing if its real, and then later had to explain that it wasnt. The nightly news anchors are not figures of authority. Theyre part of the entertainment, branding and cross-promotion business. Former ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer trended on Facebook for reportedly scoring the first interview about Bruce Jenners gender odyssey. When current ABC News anchor David Muir was still a correspondent, some NBC News reporters had a drinking game about how many times he put himself in the shot and how many times his shirt was unbuttoned. As the late-night comic anchors got more pointed and edgy with the news, the real anchors mimicked YouTube. Williams did a piece on his daughter Allisons casting in an NBC production of Peter Pan. And Muir aired an Access Hollywood-style segment with Bradley Cooper. As the performers Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver and Bill Maher were doing more serious stuff, the supposedly serious guys were doing more performing. The anchors pack their Hermès ties and tight T-shirts and fly off to hot spots for the performance aspect, because the exotic and dangerous backdrops confer the romance of Hemingway covering the Spanish Civil War. Oliver, who has made waves with pieces on financial chicanery in the Miss America contest and the corporate players trying to undermine net neutrality, told The Verge that he is hiring more researchers with backgrounds in investigative journalism. Meanwhile, in an interview with Fusion, Muir acted out the facial expressions he uses during his broadcast: the listening face, the really listening face, and the really concerned face. All that was missing was Blue Steel. With no pushback from the brass at NBC, Williams has spent years fervently courting celebrity, as The Hollywood Reporter put it, guest starring on 30 Rock, slow-jamming the news with Jimmy Fallon and regaling David Letterman with his faux heroics: Two of our four helicopters were hit by ground fire, including the one I was in, RPG and AK-47. As his profession shrinks and softens, Williams felt compelled to try to steal the kind of glory that can only be earned the hard way. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/02/08/opinion/sunday/maureen-dowd-anchors-aweigh.html?_r=0&referrer=

I googled up a price search for 'sildenafil 20 mg.' from my local pharmacies. The sweet spot appeared to be 90 tablets. Results: Walmart $57.34, Walgreens $143.50, CVS $263.32 & Rite-Aide $766.03. Seeing as the folks at Walmart are not much inclined to run their shops at a loss, one can only conclude that the wholesale price per pill and thus the manufacturing cost is likely even lower than Sucrates's tongue in cheek estimate of 25 cents. Sucky, you have my gratitude and my thanks for starting this thread. I never would have thought to do this w/o your nudging (I didn't even know the generic name of Viagra nor did I know it was off patent). For now on I can go hog wild on my boners with nary a thought of the consequences to my pocketbook. As partial recompense for the good turn you have done me (& probably many other posters here) I hereby pledge to deep six my next three snarky remarks to your posts. It won't be easy but1 you've earned it today. 1 Snarky remark #1 crossed out free of charge; still three to go. PS I just thought of another one and this one was kind of funny too. Damn, this is going to be harder than I thought. Oh well, still free of charge and three to go.

I forgot to denominate any choices in Green Stamps!

I have not been to Prague for several years, therefore my information about that place will not help you. With respect to Budapest and Vienna, I can offer a few thoughts and suggestions. I don’t know where you plan to stay in Budapest. However, if you plan to stay at a Hilton, there are two of them in Budapest. One Hilton is in the city area while the older Hilton is located in the Royal Castle District. This particular Hilton is located directly next to Matthias Church. The church was built in the fourteenth century. I stayed at this Hilton last year during my visit to Vienna and Budapest. Across the street from the Hilton (in the Royal Castle District) is a park that runs along the River Danube from the Buda side of Budapest. It is in this park where you will be pleasantly surprised, as I was. I was not aware that the park often contains handsome Hungarian male hustlers (and other nationalities). My first morning at the hotel, I naively walked around the hotel just looking around for sight seeing purposes. While walking in the park, I saw a number of handsome young men just standing around. I was too unaware to connect the fact that the guys were hustling. I thought it a little strange that there were so many good-looking guys just standing around but it was only my second day in Budapest and I did not know what to expect. It was not until the second day that I “connected the dots” and realized what was taking place in the park and around the Hilton and Matthias Church. I made it a point to walk through the park most of the times I entered or left the hotel. A few times I talked to some of the guys standing in the park, however, none of them spoke English. I do not speak any Hungarian. After a few more tries with different guys, I eventually met a guy who spoke German and I was able to communicate with him. He explained the situation with the hustlers in the park. I did not feel threatened in the park because the hustling occurred during the day as well as the night. As I wrote, I do not know where you will be staying in Budapest. If you will be there any length of time, I heartily recommend that you visit the park across from the Hilton. You just might get lucky. With respect to Vienna, I am not aware of any hustler or bar scene except for the Stadt Park near the Kursalon. However, I never engaged any of the hustlers in Vienna because they all seemed too rough and dirty. While in Vienna, there are many restaurants that are memorable. My favorite is called Figlmueller. There are two locations fairly close to each other. This restaurant serves the largest and most tasty Vienna Schnitzel I have ever had. Here is a link to its website which is in English: http://www.figlmueller.at/en/ Since this is your first trip to Vienna, you might know that Vienna was once called the City of Music. There are countless concert halls in Vienna. I mentioned the Kursalon above with respect to where some hustlers hang out. About one block from the hustlers’ area in the Stadt Park, is the Kursalon. There are many concerts given that might be of interest to you. Here is a link to the Kursalon site: http://www.kursalonwien.at/en Have a great trip.

Sergio looks sexy in this pic, holding those chop sticks and exhibiting that vibrant smile encased by luscious, silkish lips! He looks quite enticing and lickable, even with his clothes on!!

If that cock SMELLS like fish..... NO WAY, JOSE !

Even if he has a thick, juicy 9" pecker, Grandma? With a cute mushroom head? No exceptions?
