So the bar’s name is Hideaway, but judging by the signage, the name really ought to be Sports Bar.

On his radio show, G. Gordon Liddy used to say, “I don’t own any guns, but Mrs. Liddy has a rather impressive gun collection.”
Uh-huh.
Call the situation whatever you like, I guess, but it doesn’t change the reality of what’s going on. Again: would any of this happen without money to grease the wheels?
If you’re avoiding the “p” word so you don’t end up on some sort of list, then I apologize for my comment, and you’re free to delete it to make yourself a bit less searchable (although I’m pretty sure I’ve made comments to this effect before, so you may have to comb through your blog and delete several of my comments). I certainly don’t want to “out” or “doxx” you.

…trying to create a win-win situation that doesn’t equate to prostitution
Dude. Just call it what it is. If she’s being paid for sex, she’s a prostitute. To be clear, I don’t judge the use of prostitutes at all (in fact, I’d like to see prostitution widely legalized), but I sense you have a hang-up about labels, and I’m here to tell you that the labels don’t change the reality, so you may as well use accurate labels. No need to engage in legalistic hair-splitting. She’s a ho, you want sex, she wants money (does any of this work without money?), and it’s really that simple. And dignity? Well, if she’s willing to rent her body for sex, the issue of dignity is, at best, an open question. So just own it, I say. You’re bangin’ hos, and that’s fine as long as no one’s getting hurt.

It’d be nice if you could just stop being so horny (imagine the money you could save!), but that’s not gonna work. Heh. Remember how Tyrion Lannister said he wanted to die?
“In my own bed, at the age of 80, with a belly full of wine and a girl’s mouth around my cock.”

Looks to have been a good walk. That descent will wake you up, though!

Just stare at that a while.

Bars of Barretto: Queen Victoria
A nice darts setup, the only downside being the CR is in the corner on the left.
I must’ve missed something. What’s a CR? A bathroom?
Yeah, I’m not a fan of live bands if that means you have to shout to be heard, and that’s usually the case with live bands.

Those pancakes or crêpes?
A little titty-butter never hurt anyone, right?
Good (belated) luck with the Hash. Walk hard.

Redz sounds like a loser place. I can see why you don’t frequent it.

Within the bar universe, you have what I call regular bars. Just a place to go and have a drink, chat with friends, listen to music, or whatever else eases your mind, including the attentions of a lovely bar girl.
I assume the lovely bar girl doesn’t offer her attention for free.
Is there any sort of bar where you can just go and have a drink without any sort of pressure to help a lady out, or is parasitism just part and parcel of bar life in the PI? It sounds as if even the so-called “regular” bars feature (paid?) female companionship. For the guy who wants to just drink and be left the hell alone, is there nothing?

I’m chiming in a bit late, but yes, I’d be interested in learning more about the local bars. It rounds out my mental picture of your life in the PI.
Good to know you’re feeling better.

“touch myself/have a stroke”
I’m reminded of the old joke:
“Mr. Mouse, you can’t divorce your wife Minnie just because you suspect she’s stupid.”
“Your Honor, I didn’t say she was stupid; I said she was fucking Goofy!”That I have no compunction to inhale nicotine seems bizarre.
I assume you mean “compulsion.” A compunction is a sense of hesitancy, usually rooted in one’s conscience. A synonym is qualm(s).
Jack had no compunctions about shooting his mother.
Sorry to hear about the relapse. Good luck as you make the effort to quit vaping!

Nice pics. I can relate to the fishing villages.

Symptoms of COVID are dry cough, fever, and for some people, an inability to taste food. I’m not seeing any of those complaints in your post, and though I’m not a doctor, I’d guess this isn’t COVID. A runny nose isn’t a corona symptom—quite the opposite.
Well, rest up, keep drinking those fluids, and don’t catch any venereal diseases. Here’s to your health!

Never a boring moment! Good to know you seem to be doing better. Rock on!

I think that’s my first time seeing that cartoon. Nice.
Steak looks a lot better than past efforts. A lot better. Keep doing whatever you’re doing.

Still dancing as fast as I can
In the two-part episode “The Menagerie,” a wheelchair-bound Captain Pike is reduced to a life of giving yes/no answers to questions. Ultimately, he is taken to a planet run by aliens who can create realistic illusions, and thus he is given the illusion of health so he can live out his life happy instead of trapped in the actual reality of his existence.
Pike’s character has been rehabilitated of late in the new Star Trek TV shows, perhaps inspired by his appearance in the JJ Abrams movies.

Well, good luck figuring out what may be ailing you. It never even occurred to me to associate lethargy with bars; if there are older guys than you who are still holding their own at those bars, then you can probably rule out bar-hopping as a cause of lethargy.
As for faux companionship… it’s not for me, but whatever floats your boat. As long as you’ve got cash, you can maintain the illusion. Plead empty pockets, though, and these ladies will show their true colors, so keep the money-spigot cranked up to 10.
Later, Captain Pike.

At least your day sounds better than an ice pick in the brain.
I don’t know. Some assholes may indeed deserve death. Too many oxygen thieves in the world (as an Aussie coworker of mine used to say).

Looks to have been a nice hike. I appreciate the photos!

But that doesn’t mean I can’t play along and enjoy the fantasy. I didn’t mean to imply that pretending is better than the real thing, just that it beats being alone all the time.
I think that’s where you and I differ fundamentally. I’d rather be alone than have a fake companion. That would just feel hollow.
Get a dog. Dogs are sincere. And they really love you. That was kind of my point: for you, insincerity (the Matrix) is better than nothing. Cypher was aware of what the Matrix was, and he wanted to be plugged back into it, anyway. Some people want the blue pill even after taking the red pill.

“So, when you spend enough time and money with a gal it’s possible she’ll get cuddly, laugh at your jokes, and have you believing you are something special. Hey, in the long run it is cheaper and less dangerous than having a real girlfriend. At least that’s been my experience.”
In other words, settling for the fake version, when the real version isn’t working out, is just fine. I think you’re all ready to be plugged into the Matrix. Are those real wings you’re eating or just the illusion of wings created by a computer mastermind? Does it even matter?

“The situation did make for some interesting situations.”
Situationally speaking.
Congrats on second place, at least.
That sliced-open carrot cake looks like a murder scene, but I bet it does indeed taste awesome. And one of these days, I’ll have to have a bowl of your famous chili.

With so many people praising the trail, there must have been a lot of butts on ice. Let no good deed (or word) go unpunished!

While I can never relate to the randiness and will doubtless fade into a pretty sexless retirement, I’d say you’re way better off where you are now than you would be in any retirement home. In a home, you’d be dealing with staffers who would treat you like a petulant child for wanting to assert your independence. And as I discovered during my recent stint at a hospital, the very ambience of places that purport to care for you can lead you to convince yourself that you’re really sick and deserve to be there. No, you’re definitely better off living this life. If I had to choose between retirement in the PI and life in a nursing home, waiting for death, I’d choose the PI, too. At least whatever mistakes you make are your own.

So if you leave ingredients to make an awesome hamburger at the Kitchenette, will the ladies make you one? Are they that versatile?

May the route prove to be enjoyable for everyone!
Did I see expanded seating at the Kitchenette?

Is it always better to give than receive?
It’s not an ethical question that’s going to be resolved to everyone’s satisfaction anytime soon. Is it somehow wrong that helping others might make one feel good or provide other rewards? I don’t see how.
