Nice Shot Sailfast!!!!!

I came across this information and hope it will help some of you get to LOS and have some extra money to spend on your heart's desire. http://www.smartertravel.com/airfare/fly-t...html?id=2065453

For those that don't know about history...... here is a condensed version. Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter. The two most important events in all of history were: 1. The invention of beer, and 2. The invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups: 1. Liberals 2. Conservatives. Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed. Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to barbeque at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly barbeques and doing the sewing, fetching, and hairdressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement. Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as girlie-men. Some note worthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided. Over the years Conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass. Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat. Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, athletes, Marines, and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living. Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America . They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing. Here ends today's lesson in world history....... It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it. A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to tick them off....

Looks good, what about some pics from the inside of the condo itself? How many square meters is it? Does it have a thai kitchen or a european kitchen, bath tub or separate shower, etc?

Here are instructions from the forum how to do this, hope it helps.....cannonball http://www.pattayatalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10535

Looking GOOD, Pete!!!!! I have over 200 more days till I get there, but will pop in and enjoy when I get the chance. Take care and keep up the good promotions. Reggie

Sure Mate, stop by Iraq and give me a lift will you, I am really homesick for my lady and Thailand in general.....Reggie.....LOL

Well, I don't recall deleting or having any posts deleted, but my post count is down also. I don't recall what it was the last time I posted, but it was over 200. It don't matter to me, just commenting on the ubiquitous nature of the internet. Reggie

Police are warning all men who frequent clubs, parties and local pubs to be alert and stay cautious when offered a drink from any woman. Many females use a date rape drug on the market called 'Beer.' The drug is found in liquid form and is available anywhere. It comes in bottles, cans, or from taps and in large 'kegs'. Beer is used by female sexual predators at parties and bars to persuade their male victims to go home and sleep with them. A woman needs only to get a guy to consume a few units of Beer and then simply ask him home for no strings attached sex. Men are rendered helpless against this approach. After several beers, men will often succumb to the desires to sleep with horrific looking women to whom they would never normally be attracted. After drinking beer, men often awaken with only hazy memories of exactly what happened to them the night before, often with just a vague feeling that 'something bad' occurred. At other times these unfortunate men are swindled out of their life's savings, in a familiar scam known as 'a relationship.' In extreme cases, the female may even be shrewd enough to entrap the unsuspecting male into a longer term form of servitude and punishment referred to as 'marriage.' Men are much more susceptible to this scam after beer is administered and sex is offered by the predatory females. Please! Forward this warning to every male you know. If you fall victim to this 'Beer' scam and the women administering it, there are male support groups where you can discuss the details of your shocking encounter with similarly victimized men. For the support group nearest you, just look up 'Golf Courses' in the phone book. For a video to see how beer works click here: http://www.brackenspub.com/beer.swf

Here is a graph that tells how the dollar has been doing against the baht. http://finance.yahoo.com/currency/convert?...;submit=Convert It seems to be strengthening a bit for the last few days. It is now at 31.715/$1 USD. It can only get better as far as I am concerned, but I am the eternal optimist, so make your own judgement. Reggie

Well Pete, it looks like all your hard work and planning is finally going to pay off. Good Luck to you and your staff. Bye the way, great promotions for the customers and the FL. v I am just sorry I am not there to help you celebrate. Reggie

Hey Pete, it's about time for a progress report from you. Hopefully things are back on track now that Songkran is overwith. When are you going to have your soft opening and what is the planned date for your grand opening? Let us know, everyone is curious.....Reggie

Okay, all very nice and great information. I do have a question though. I see that land is measured by the rai in Thailand. How big is a rai in square feet or compared to an acre? Thanks in advance for your knowledge. Reggie

Welcome to the board. Please share your experiences with us. You have 2 1/2 years of stuff to tell us mongerers. Enjoy!!!!!

I just received this email and want to share. I don't know how true it is or it's origin, but I did like what it has to say. I know there are a few on these boards with anti American sentiments, but this, as far as I am concerned overshadows anything they will say. Even if it is made up, it says it like it is. Whether you agree with it or not, flame away, it won't change the message. Reggie "Gentlemen, I am an Australian and my son is an Australian - as far as we are concerned there is no place on God's earth better than Australia, and there are no people better than Australians. That was until the past week or so. My son is in the Australian Army and he is currently on deployment in Iraq. I cannot go into his duties in great depth, but shall we say that he and his fellow army buddies are on a glorified guard duty looking after the Australian Embassy. They don't go out looking for "action", though it is a different story in Afghanistan. There the Aussie troops chase the baddies over the hills and into the valleys. My son and I just ended a long 'phone conversation and here are some of his comments, believe me this is what he said. We have all seen the bullshit emails written by some clown in his lounge room pretending to be at the coal face, but this is what was said: "Before I came over here I thought we (the Australian Army) were pretty shit hot ... was I ever wrong! The Yanks (I hope you don't mind me using that word) are so professional from the top to the bottom that it is almost embarrassing to be in their company, and to call yourself a soldier ... don't get me wrong, we are good at what we do but the Yanks are so much better ... they are complete at what they do, how they do it and their attitude is awesome ... they don't complain they just get on with the job and they do it right ... I carry a Minimi (SAW) so I am not real worried about a confrontation but I tell you I feel safer just knowing that the US Army is close by. If we got into trouble I know that our boys would come running and we could deal with it but they would probably be passed by a load of Hummers. No questions asked, no glory sought, the Americans would just fight with us and for us because that is their nature, to protect those in need of protection. We use the American Mess so you could say that we are fed by the Americans ... they have every right to be pissed at that but they don't bitch about that they just make us feel as welcome as possible ... what gets to me is that the Yanks don't walk around with a "we are better than you attitude" and they could because they are. They treat us as equals and as brothers in arms. If nothing else, coming here has taught me that the Americans are a truly great Nation and a truly great bunch of people. Let's face it they don't HAVE to be here, they could stay in America and beat the shit out of anyone who threatened them, BUT THEY ARE HERE because they believe they should be here, and the Iraqis would be screwed if they weren't here. When I come home, you and I, we are going to the US. We will buy some bikes and we are going riding." The reason why I am sharing this with you is because I realize that you (as a nation) must get pretty pissed with all the criticism you receive by the so-called "know it alls" who are sitting at home - safe. The reality is that they are safe, just as I am, because of America. If the world went arse up tomorrow there is little all we (Australia) could do about it, but I know that the Americans would be there putting themselves on the line for others. That to me is the sign of greatness. The most precious thing in my life is my son. I look at him and I thank God that I am fortunate enough to be able to spend time in his company. We laugh, we discuss, we argue, we dummy spit, we have the same blood. I am not happy that he is where he is but that is his duty. He joined the Army to protect and to defend, not to play games. I mightn't like it but I accept it. My reasons for not liking it are selfish and self centered. I felt assured that he would be safe because he is in a well trained army with an excellent record, BUT NOW, I feel a whole lot better knowing that he is with your sons, daughters, brothers and sisters. Whilst he was growing up, I was always there to look after him. I would not let harm befall him and I would always put myself before him to protect him. I can't do that now. When it comes to looking after him now he and his mates will do the job, but also THANK GOD FOR AMERICA. Gentlemen, I have rambled on for too long, but as I finish I say to you, as a foreigner and outsider, a nation is only a collection of its people and its attitude is the attitude of its people, collectively and as individuals. I am really glad you are here on this Earth and I respect you as a nation and as people. Stand up and feel proud because you deserve it. There is no one else who will do what America does without question. The next time someone howls you down, take some comfort in the fact that America is defending their right to act like an idiot. Finally, thank you for looking after my son. Peter Turner (Forwarded by David H.)"

Yeah, I've got a couple of aunts like that. They are pretty damn funny when they get wasted.

I'd call that 344 lucky souls. I hope they all kissed the ground when they deplaned. I know I damn sure would have. Makes me wonder how many BM's were onboard? Hope they enjoy their mongering considering the alternative.....Reggie

Personally I think the tourist will think every cop in BKK has lost every marble he or she ever had if they see them doing these laughing exercises while out directing traffic. Reggie

Truly classic, I love them. Had a good belly laugh from some of the descriptions. You should share them with the rest of the world.

Couldn't agree with you more. Made me google it to see the rest of the collection. Made me laugh good, which s needed in this godfosaken land of the Middle East.....Reggie

Just wanted to let Greg know that I just checked out Mod's site and everything is working great including the guest book. Great job and I am sure Mod appreciates all your efforts on her behalf. I also want to say that if anybody does play golf with her I hope they do the gentlemanly thing and pay her green fees for her. Remember it is the utmost gentleman's game.

I stayed at RG for 12 days the end of Oct and beginning of Nov and I don't think there is any problem at all crossing the road to the laundry, the massage place or the little family mart. As far as catching a baht bus, I think the longest wait was maybe two minutes. The merging of traffic where the roads converge wasn't a problem in my book, However that might be due to the fact that I live and work in Kuwait, where the drivers are notoriously reckless. (3rd Highest death rate per capita in the world) Anyway, I didn't feel the hassles were out of line and I will probably stay there on my upcoming trip in Feb.....Reggie

Greg, thanks for the information. I will be looking to use her taxi service when I return in Feb and I am so bad at golf that a few lessons from her would help bunches. I watched her golf in the Rideher Cup just a few weeks ago and she has great form, to say the least. I will be saving her website to my favorites so when the time comes I can email her. Thanks again.....Reggie
