Life is what it is, and this is how it was yesterday: A Candy Walk, a feeding, a dinner, and some liquid refreshment along the way. And I’ve got the pictures to prove it!
Later in the day, I made my way to Hideaway for the weekly feeding.
Next up was surviving a highway crossing and dining at John’s place.
We finished the day at Green Room, where we enjoyed watching some pool competitors in action. Lady drinks were dispensed, and beer was imbibed. I got a shoulder rub from Sally, but it didn’t get any lower than that.
So, I caught some flack in the comments about my criticism of the guy getting his crotch rubbed on Friday night. Let me try and clarify my objections. To begin with, whatever happens between a customer and a GRO is between them, and it is none of my business. I’ve seen worse than the Friday show. I don’t enjoy seeing guys grabbing tits or gals grabbing dick, but that’s between them. That said, Green Room touts itself as a “sports bar,” not a whore bar. I was there on Friday to watch a dance competition, and I had my girl with me. I saw what was happening at the next table and looked away. Swan got offended. I stand by my belief that it wasn’t the time or place for hands-on behavior, but I’ll concede it doesn’t make the guy a ghastly asshole. It’s a Barretto bar full of girls wanting to make money; I can always go elsewhere if I don’t like it. The fact that I was back at Green Room with my girl last night demonstrates that we are both over it.

Another Facebook memory from my Korea life:
I was looking at pictures from the Anniversary Hash in 2019 and had a chuckle over this one:
Today’s YouTube vlogger advises against opening a business for the family to operate. The examples given are pretty familiar. My direct experience was sponsoring the eatery Marissa wanted. That lasted all of six months. Still, when I thought about that beach bar in Bantay Bayan I wrote about yesterday, I knew it would have to be in Swan’s name, and I felt confident that it would do fine in her capable hands. I’m just not wanting to upend my life with the major changes that would be required. Still, I’m cognizant of the fact that she’ll outlive me, and I’d like to find a way for her to carry on without my support when the end of my days arrives.
I’ll take this as a sign that today’s humor will be punny indeed:
Speaking of the Hash, today is the 31st Anniversary of the Subic Bay Hash House Harriers. The long and medium trails involve transport to Olongapo City, then a climb up to Kalaklan Ridge and down the other side. Departure for those is at noon from VFW. The short trail leaves at one from the VFW and has a climb, but not a Kalaklan-level (steep?) ascent. You know which one I’ll be doing. On-Home is at Subiza Resort on Baloy. I’m a little worried if they are going to be able to accommodate the needs of an anticipated one hundred Hashers, but we are fixin’ to find out. I’ll share how it goes tomorrow.
So you’re there to watch whores dance in your famous whore town then are offended when the whores act like whores? Stop playing dumb; it’s exactly what you wanted.
Please remember that the solicitation of prostitutes is a SIN. I will pray for you, John, but you must pray as well and ask forgiveness for yourself because the cure for being drenched in sin lies in the fires of HELL otherwise.
A great shot of that young lady riding that contraption. She looks like a very enterprising go-getter.
Re: the video. Agree for the most part. You are smart to think of the future. I think a fair amount of your monthly income comes from your pension, which will presumably stop upon your demise. Hate for Swan to go from 60 – 0 income-wise if that happens with no pre planning.
However, I am not sure a business is the way to go. Maybe an annuity or something like that?
The PI seems a bit more liberal in allowing the silent partner (i.e. the foreigner with the money) to actually participate in the running of the business. You have mentioned a couple of times going into Bar X and the “owner” was behind the bar, serving customers.
In Thailand, unless you have a business visa, just being behind the bar is enough to cause some serious problems visa-wise, etc. if the police happen to stop in and see you.
Funny how cuntservatives always call The Left sexual deviants but have no problems exploiting women in developing countries.
Let’s go Kamala!
“Whore” is such an ugly word.
Drain, I’ve been called worse.
Cedric, it’s funny how ignorant lefties can’t make an argument in support of their preferred candidate, so they just disparage people with opposing viewpoints by calling them “cuntservatives.” Thanks for showing us who and what you are.
Brian, yes, I’ve wondered about that myself. Most of the bars have foreigner managers, but I’m not sure what their visa status might be. I’d have to think long and hard before getting involved directly.
Probably the smarter course of action would be to purchase some property for Swan. She could use it to generate rental income or else live there rent free.
We’ll see. Hopefully I’ve still got time to make a plan.
Digory, I met her a couple of years later. She is a widow now raising those kids on her own. I provide her monthly support as my primary charity project here.
Beckerson, Judge Not Lest You Be Judged.
