Gaybutton

I don't know if I am a sex addict or not, but if I have to be addicted to something, I'll take it!

I'm not surprised. It's fine when it's somebody else's post disappearing, but when one's own post disappears, now you would think you committed a crime that should merit you a death by slow torture penalty. I've lost count of how many times I was accused of deleting posts because "I disagreed with GB." That, actually, was never the reason. Not even once. But try to convince those people they had written an inappropriate post, which always was the actual reason. Good luck. As far as I'm concerned, there's only one way to deal with the kinds of responses I know you received. It's not giving a good goddam whether they like it or not.

Whether the restaurant is open . . .

I certainly did not vote for Gaybutton. I wouldn't want to eat with him.

You're going to be a busy man. If nothing else, my experience has taught me that getting people to stick to the topic is one of the most difficult things to do. An awful lot of people seem to think rules and requests apply to everyone except themselves.

If you do open a bar you have to do one little thing. Consult me to make sure it is staffed entirely with my type. To hell with the rest . . .

Those would be the rare exceptions I'm talking about. The rest is useless.

Actually I don't see much point in holding onto posts that are older than a year. Who is going to read them? While I realize that some people do searches that might include posts that were submitted shorty after the Big Bang, but I would think with rare exceptions all very old posts are doing is taking up drive space.

This is where the waiters fail to think. If it was me, I would have made you wait 15 minutes, then given you the bill, waited another 20 minutes before coming to collect the money, and then taken at least 15 more minutes to return the change. Of course, if I was really out to have a good time, once I brought the change, I would have made sure to have short-changed you. That would have been good for another half hour at least . . .

I certainly enjoyed it and for me it was also nice to put to rest the absurd rumor that's been going around that there is some sort of animosity between GT and me. I like Pattayamale's idea of meet-and-greets elsewhere in Thailand. He's right. No law says it always has to be Pattaya. All it takes is for someone in other areas of Thailand to take the initiative to say let's have a meet-and-greet and here's when and where we'll have it. It doesn't take a sponsor. Everyone can pay his own way.

At the moment I'm a "definite maybe." I'm planning to be there if I can, but I do have a conflicting commitment. If I can get things changed around, I plan to be there.

I have to admit, this is a first. I had to use Google Translate to read GT's post. Usually I have to do that for his English . . . Of course, oddly enough, even when you use Google Translate it still doesn't tell you which soi it's on. And I also have to admit, a map that doesn't even show where the place is, definitely is a big help. Turn at the McDonald's near Big-C. Would that be a right or left turn? But we're narrowing it down. Now we know it's somewhere near Big-C. There are, of course, two Big-Cs in Pattaya and there is a McDonald's approximately the same distance from both, but we're getting there . . .

You know what might be a good idea? Posting where NAB is. I haven't seen a post yet, including their own web site and the Thai Visa site, where anyone thinks to at least mention its location. It's in Pattaya. Now go and find it. How about someone telling us where it is . . .

Did you know there is one right here in Pattaya at Central Festival, called Zico's? It's about 900 baht or so, but it's very good and the quality is comparable to ones I have been to to in Brazil. If you do a Google search for "Churrascaria Pattaya" several reviews will come up.

I can't think of the name of it off the top of my head, but that Japanese restaurant with the food coming around on a conveyor belt is also timed. There's one on the 6th floor of Central and another branch at the Lotus on Sukhumvit and Thepprasit. I hate to tell you this, but as for learning something new every day, that is not true. Yesterday I didn't learn anything new . . .

Merci. I don't know how I managed to miss that, but I did. Ok, I do know where the Kitchen shop is, so they're about to sell a springform pan.

Thank you very much. I can't wait to try both of them. I have two questions: 1. Do you know where I can buy a springform pan? 2. In both recipes you say to bake in a preheated oven. I have no idea what the temperature should be. What is your recommendation?

Perfect! I'm looking forward to trying them both.

No, I actually paid $2.99 for that. I'm also using $90 as a round figure. It actually cost me a few dollars less. It would cost me the same amount if I also included a web site. I wasn't asking about hiring photographers and writing articles. I was asking about the actual cost of registering your domain name and web hosting service.

Villa Market carries castor sugar. What are "nips" of Bailey's? New term to me. And, probably most important, lvdkeyes, what do you think of this recipe? While we're at it, lvdkeyes, do you have a recipe for real New York cheesecake, like you would find in a deli?

I agree. What does your ex do for you when it's your birthday? As a matter of fact, what did he do for you before he became an "ex"?

That's difficult to answer because as far as remaining logged into the message board I never know when it's going to happen. I close off the tab for this board when I am finished, but whether I return before closing the browser itself, or return later after I close and reopen my browser, or when I restart my computer, clean out the cache, or whatever I do, I never know of I'll still be logged in when I return to this board. Sometimes I am and sometimes I'm not. It appears to be an intermittent problem. The first thing I would look at is if your end of the cookies is working the way it should. Whether I find myself still logged in or not when I return to this board sounds like it's probably a cookies problem.

Why? How much does it cost you to operate this web site? I'm paying a grand total of $90 per year for everything involved in operating my board. There is an easy way to get rid of those ads. I think it only works if you use the Firefox browser. If you go to http://adblockplus.org/en and install their free software, you can right click on those images and prevent those ads from appearing at all. It blocks the source of the ads.

Ok, then here's another one. I think it's a glitch. Usually I go directly to the message board. Sometimes I find myself already logged in and sometimes not. I always choose the option to keep myself logged in at all times. Sometimes it holds and sometimes it doesn't. If I am on the message board and click the HOME button to go to the main web site, I have to log in all over again. The log in doesn't hold. Then, when I return to the message board, I still have to log in again. In other words, there is some sort of a software problem with the log in. If it helps, I always use the Firefox browser.

I have a couple suggestions for improving the profiles on the main web page. Obviously many of the people who posted profiles want to be contacted. If it's not already done that way, I suggest contact messages be sent by both PM and Email. Also, if there is a way to browse through the all the profiles, I've never found it. If there is a way, it needs to be made clear. If there is no way currently to do that, now you have a new project to work on.
