My sons have had many parties here and nobody seems to mind the huge fire and sleeping in tents Nothing quite like a wood pallet fire with the occasional tire thrown on No, the tire part is always a threat I make to my wife But we do get some big hot "burning man" type fires going.

Maybe next summer we will do something for a few days where everyone will be welcome. Now if we could only put Greenies new bar on wheels, we would be all set.

Speaking of Greenies bar...I kicked ass on his bowling game. I took all the high scores that the good Dr Bizarro worked so hard to get
Sounds cool, Jim. Not sure if I will be here though as I plan to move to Thailand. That's where my fiancee' is. Spent the month of September there.

This is a big reason why I'm trying to get my own revenue generating websites up. Adult and non adult.

One can live exceptionally well there- for even $1k/mo. The apartment we have now is $65/mo inlcuding utilities.

An average house in a gated community can be rented for appx $125/mo.

I can buy a new house (well built) for $20k. This is in Northern Thaiand- ChiangMai. For $60k well- you can live large:

My buddy who makes a good chunk of change in large part thanks to the website I made for him and the SEO I did for him has just gone though the looking for a house deal here on Long Island.

Bottom line is he'll need to move to Suffolk and even then drop $394k for a decent place. Condo. What is messed up is that he can be mobile. He loves DisneyWorld and goes there 3x/year.

He can buy a house outright in cash there. But his partner has a locked in City job and doesn't want to give that up.

Over the next 20 years or so, he'll end up spending 100's of thousands more just to stay with the guy between taxes and general living costs between NY and Florida.

Actually, I think i will tease him again with my house pics in Thailand. It makes Florida look expensive. LOL!!!!
