That's right. And my last word to you is don't let the door slam you in the ass as you leave. We'll try really hard to struggle along without you. Meanwhile, I'm sure people who wish to ask questions appreciate your departure announcement. Now they'll know they can post their questions and they'll know I mean business when I assure them they won't have to put up with put downs. Apparently you thought being a moderator means I'm going to allow you to insult and name call. You thought wrong.

No sir, it isn't. Your posts are starting to insult people. Calling people, their posts, and their questions 'stupid' is absolutely unacceptable on this board. One thing we don't need around here are posts like that, or anything else that makes our readers concerned that if they wish to ask questions, now they can look forward to a put-down as a response. We're not going to have people reluctant to ask their questions because someone like you will probably be right there to insult them. So, go ahead. Write an insult post again and you're gone. How's that for getting my tits in wringer?

I've been trying to understand that for years. I have no idea why things like that so often go unreported. Lumphini Park has not been much of a gay cruising area for years now anyway, so I don't know why anyone would bother going there anymore. I know nothing about Sanam Luang. What I do know is it's best to stick to places known to be safe, during hours known to be safe. Most of these nighttime attacks occur between 2:30am to 4:30am. That's not a safe time to be out cruising for boys even in Pattaya.

Ok, what do you propose we do about it, set up a screening committee and require judgment on the quality of the questions before we permit them to be posted? Next question from me is: Even if what you say is true, so what? Who or what is being harmed by the questions you consider to be frivolous?

Don't you love it? Now that Sarah Palin is going to step down from her post as governor, I hope she really does run for president in 2012. That way Obama and the Democrats are assured of a landslide victory. Actually, I do see an advantage to Palin as president. It would stop terrorism in its tracks. They would all be laughing too hard to cause any harm.

If they are, that's their problem. Nothing is wrong with your questions. I'll bet plenty of people are interested in the answers. We don't have a screening committee around here to determine whose questions and what questions are the most important ones. We try to answer them all, if we can. Granted that questions about coffee may not have the same seriousness and significance as asking why the universe continues to expand, but if it's a question that's on your mind, then it's an important question.

I have no idea, but the next logical question is, given the temperatures in Pattaya, what do you want with a blanket in the first place?

I've never used it, but there is a shoe repair shop on Second Road, toward the beach just past the Second Road-Pattaya Tai traffic light.

And the total amount you paid came to how much?

One of life's little embarrassing moments. For some strange reason, I don't think this guy is a member of MENSA. Maybe he knew about the 4th of July holiday for Americans and first, a little early, celebrated the fourth with a fifth . . . The following appears in the PATTAYA DAILY NEWS: for photos, see: http://www.pattayadailynews.com/shownews.p...NEWS=0000009641 _____ Thief Falls Asleep on the Job in Pattaya A thief broke into the house of a prosecuting attorney in the evening of 2nd July 2009, but instead of getting away with a lucrative haul of money and valuables, the sleepy thief dozed off. As he woke up he was discovered by the house maid and is now in police custody. Police Lieutenant Colonel Sutham Chaosritong was notified at 8:30 pm and dispatched a police team to the house at 159 / 115, Moo. 5 Naklua, Banglamung, next to the Lotus shopping center in North Pattaya. A very agitated housemaid, 45 year old Mrs. Sri [alias], was awaiting their arrival. She explained that she went out to do some shopping that evening and on her return at 8.30pm, she found a man in a sleepy state standing behind the door of the second bedroom on the second floor which was normally empty and used as a store room. She was shocked by the sight of the intruder and screamed for help from the neighbours. The man then shut the door and locked himself inside. She immediately called the police. After failing to convince the intruder to open the door police broke into the room and arrested the man, Mr Prajuk Jark Ngoo-Leum, [20]. He told police that he had climbed into the house and got into the room at around 6.00 pm, intending to take some valuables, but instead fell asleep. When he woke up and walked to the door to continue his search for items to steal, the maid opened the door and saw him. He shut the door immediately and tried to find a way out but the police arrived before he could manage to escape. Mr Prajuk confessed to the attempted burglary and is being held at the Pattaya police station, under investigation for trespassing. __________ I love it. Not only does this genius break into a house and then decide to take a little snooze, but he breaks into a prosecuting attorney's house. Way to go!

I just had a look. Yes, they're up and running again.

If you're serious, I'll be available for that after July 19. I'm quite busy up until then. If you want to make arrangements, please contact me by Email at: gaybutton@gmail.com I do already have one person who wants to do it, and he contacted me first. That means room for you and one more. As for hotels, I suggest either the Malaysia or the Pinnacle. Both are easiest to get to by car in that Bangkok traffic. Personally, I prefer the Malaysia.

Like I said: Waste not, want not.

The trouble is, otherwise normally intelligent people often come here and instead of using the brain they ought to use, they start using their second brain . . . the one in their crotch.

I just cook the roaches. After all, waste not, want not . . . Not bad with a little soy sauce. Deep fry them. They get nice and crunchy.

I'm not saying it can't be done. I'm saying it's not practical to do it whether it can be done or not. Certainly, as with cell phones, the capability exists, but unlike cell phones, it would all have to be recorded and identifiable.

Sheeeeesh! Are you actually going to provoke a debate over where the best coffee comes from? I can't tell you where the best coffee comes from, but I have a pretty good idea where the worst comes from: A Nescafe instant coffee container. Have you ever been to the Middle East? In Israel it is common to add something to coffee that's called, rather appropriately, hell. I don't know what it is, but with it in the coffee, which is lousy there in the first place, now the coffee tastes as if someone added Pine-Sol to it.

If it's something you really like, don't want to be without, would not be costly to bring, and would not take up so much room in your luggage you would have to deprive yourself of something else you want, then it seems like a perfectly reasonable plan to me.

Dear User, Due to unforeseeable technical problems, our service is currently unavailable. We are working hard to find a solution and to restore our regular service as soon as possible.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we look forward to having everything back up and running for you in the near future. Kind regards, Your GayRomeo Team More News: 2009-07-02 16:00 -- According to the operator of our data center, there had been a fire alarm which in turn caused a shutdown of the air condition. As temperature in the server rooms increased, some servers shut down themselves to prevent further damages. But it's possible that permanent damage remains on some systems. We're currently examining all servers and ask for your patience. 2009-07-02 22:00 -- Meanwhile we've checked the most important parts and we're able to recover all found damages so far. But we've to mention that it could take some more hours until we're certain that everything works as it should and the system has come back to normal operation. We assume not to be back online before 11:00pm (CEST).

Latex?

Why not just buy a comforter here? They're sold all over the place. I was under the impression you either already had a comforter here or intended to buy one here. Why else buy the Duvet cover? If you absolutely must have a Duvet cover, and if you can't find any here, you could always buy a couple flat sheets and have one of the street seamstresses make a Duvet cover out of them.

Why? The grocery stores all have plenty of ground coffee for sale. It's also easy to find high quality coffee beans if you want to go to the trouble.

I don't see it that way. Neither do the police and the Thai courts. I think some of the burden of the fault is on the victim in this kind of situation. The victim gets to spend years in jail and have his life ruined. The perpetrator, if you want to call it that, is right back to work the next night and nothing happens to him. If the victim fails to take the proper precautions, we can argue back and forth as to whether it's his fault, but it's not going to matter much in the long run. If it isn't his fault, the police will be happy to listen to him explain that . . . all the way downtown. Just like a pedestrian getting hit and killed by a car. Maybe it wasn't his fault, but he's just as dead.

Coffee filters are quite cheap and that shouldn't be a factor. You can buy small drip coffee makers inexpensively too. I have a four-cup drip coffee maker that I bought at Carrefour. That's what I use and it works just fine. I don't remember exactly how much it cost. I think it was between 50 and 800 baht, something like that. They do have those "little plastic thingies" too, if that's really what you prefer. Personally I think you're better off with a small drip coffee maker.
