All boys and coach are now free!

Tip lipped and no one has actually seen who came out. Everything is very closely guarded. Not sure why.

That is the opposite of the reports I have seen here in Thailand. My understanding is that there are 4 boys and 1 coach left in the cave. Perhaps I am wrong. But, that is what I see.

I am saying pick a side and stay there. Under this administration, we have decided to control the rules but not help financially. China is willing to fill that void. If that continues, we will have less and less control over any situation. Years ago, I did feel that we were a moral nation and were in the right in many areas. Now, I feel the opposite. We have ZERO moral authority and we are no longer the leader of the free world. It is reality.

4 more out today. That leaves 4 boys and 1 coach.

Unfortunately, it looks like China is stepping up to the plate. That is not a good thing for the world. But, a very smart move for China. Lets face it, the USA is headed downhill and Trump just make that slide faster. China is deeply investing in other countries. On my recent trip to Saudi, the major businesses there were Chinese as they are building the high-speed rail. What the world once depended on the USA for, including technology, we are now being surpassed by other countries. I hope you are right Mr. Smith and that the next executive will be able to clean up all the shit, but I am not so sure that will be possible. And, I also don't see Trump only being in office for 4 years. If that scenario, you can take your ebb/flow and flush it. IMHO

Personally, I am OK with not paying anything. But, then I would expect us to stay the fuck out of everyone's business! We will never do that as we and Trump, feel superior and the rulers of the world.

Sure. But, if you want to be the ones calling the shots, you have to put the ante in the pot (poker analogy). With the USA now withdrawing from leadership, does it expect to continue calling the shots without anteing up?

I have yet to discover what makes the USA the country who decides who has nukes and who doesn't?

Nice!

Never any doubt in my mind which team he played for. But, still a bit sad. He is adorable. Still!

A fifth boy has been rescued. That leaves 8 to go!

I have always had a thing for Patrick and he is hung! Josh never really did it for me. Not sure why.

This week's episode was so moving. I was in tears.

I agree with you. I need to try new places recommended by DivineMadman. But, old habits are hard to break and I spent years at My Hero and it is hard not to start out there. I find I get pickier in my old age. You are right, the cost of the Grab Taxi was 159 baht. I gave him 200 baht as I always tip. I know it is not required and I'm not supposed to but I even tip regular taxis. That is my New Yorker coming out. There were tons of regular taxis available and honestly I have done TukTuks on the same route in the past. But, I like Grab as I don't have to deal with directions or conversations. It is usually less than a 5-10 minute wait and I have to do zero explaining and The Prince is not easy to find if the driver doesn't know the way.

I have never had a white boyfriend as an adult for much longer than one year. When I was a kid, my BF's were mostly white as I was in he deep south and that is all I could find. When I got older, I always preferred darker skin. For those that lasted longer than one year, all have been dark skin and many black with the exception on one really white Frenchman. When I was in both Rio and Sao Paulo, I loved darker skinned guys. In Salvador, I liked dark skin and black as can be. When in Porto, I like white guys with a hit of tan skin. When in Thailand, I prefer the ones that are more Southern Thai and darker skin to those with Chinese decent and lighter skin. When in Prague, I love those blond boys. When in Dubai, I love Arab men. But, in no place do I think that someone is not attractive based on skin color. I like all of God's creatures and in every shade. I also hate people telling me they don't want to visit Thailand because they don't like Asians. Until you try it, don't know it. Likewise, don't tell me you can't visit Mexico because you don't like sex with Mexicans. Unless you have tried it at least 20 times and it never worked for you, keep trying diversity. It adds to your life and to the number of potential partners.

I was feeling a bit adventurous yesterday so I wanted a massage. I went to My Hero and there were around 22 guys there and the average age was 30. They had nothing I wanted to pay for so I left. But, there was one cute guy but when I asked the manager, about him (less than 2 minutes upon walking in) he was taken by someone else. I booked a Grab Taxi to The Prince (200 baht) and wanted to see their offerings. Again, less than 20 guys and the average age was 30. And, if I think the average age was 30, it must have been higher. That was one cute little twink I liked with a cute smile but no ass at all and he walked more like Rue Paul than I do so that was a no go as well. However, I left both places content in that I had given them a try. If I were going for massage only, I would have had plenty of sexy men with great bodies. Just none of the cranked my tractor for a happy ending. So, Hornet won out again!

I have never changed into a towel in any sauna in Brazil and have been to most over the years. For Porto Alegre, I like the Sheraton. For Sao Paulo, I like the Renaissance. Have you been to Salvador?

I have read about this study now on a few sites and I think of interest to see the testing results in further trials. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-44738642

Side note: I may get like Daddy and just have a meltdown with all the pissy comments. In the last 2 weeks, this site has taken up too much of my time. And, there are a few options to relieve that stress. But, as much as I try to be fair to everyone, shit like this really pisses me off. So, in the end, perhaps I need to be more like Daddy. That way, the two different groups that just keep going at each other can all fucking take a time out and the good threads like this started out to be won't be detailed by petty bullshit. So, just so we are clear. I'll start deleting any post which I consider only for adults. Who is the judge of that? I am. Period. When I try to give latitude, it doesn't work. So, if need be, I'll fucking be a hard ass MF. That seems to be the only language some people understand.

Gain's new commercial is causing a lot of distress. Your thoughts? https://www.ispot.tv/ad/dt3G/gain-flings-the-sweet-smell-of-defeat

Well, good suggestion to get back to the original post. For everyone. Now, I did remove any posts in this thread with porn in them. Also, I did not split it as I could not figure out where the fuck to split anything. There are good comments here and some people just post to hear themselves at times. No Sandbox either. Everyone has different life experiences. Having had a gaggle of guys with me on multiple occasions, I know how easy it is. I once took an entire bar of boys (over 40) to bowling and disco and then to my home. They were there for the money. But, I told them in advance the rate (less than a normal night) and the plans. Not one choose not to go. Guys like to have fun as well and if they get fun and food and good company, they are then happier than they were earlier in that day. Regardless of what anyone says, their life is not easy, it is not glorious and it is a hard life. When they have someone who is kind to them, treats them with respect and appreciates them, they do more for less. The first picture in this thread told me all I needed to know. These guys were having fun and enjoying a good time. It was easy for me to understand. But, I'm a simple man.

This is the question on social media in Thailand. First, Thai law requires one adult per every 10 kids for trips. But, this was just an after practice excursion. Just remember the coach is only 25 and a kid himself and this was part of an initiation that previous teams had done. The Thai media is all over this day and night and constant updates. But, this is a tough situation and I don't know the end result. I am surprised they found them alive as many had assumed that would not be the case. Now, they need to find another miracle and get them all out safely. However, as one experienced Navy Seal diver died yesterday coming out of the cave, it is not going to be an easy task.

Not every Muslim is intolerant. I know many that are amazing, lovely and kind and more Christian than any Christian I have met. There are extremes in every religion.
