Sathorn road
I have been broke the last week, after the new iMac and the eye operation were charged to my account. My backup credit card didn’t work. I could not get any money out of it.
Never mind. I entered low-cost mode. That meant no spending and no trips to Silom road to eat. I stayed home and used the restaurants in the soi. This also meant I didn’t have much to blog about. I haven’t seen a taxi driver or a shopping centre moneyboy in quite a while.
The last few days I lived off Chalerm’s money. He asked me every morning if I had enough to eat. It was nice to see he cared.
The cash flow crisis ended on Monday. I have money again and I have paid Chalerm back.

The Mac repair guy called and said they had tested my old computer. Supposedly the only problem is the broken power supply. I said they could fix it.
Everything takes two weeks with these people. To check the computer took two weeks, to answer my follow-up question also took two weeks, and now I expect the repair to take two weeks. So much for “tomorrow”.
The Mac guy speaks such rapid and unclear English I have to stop him and tell him to slow down. I think he is from Hong Kong. Everything is hyper-fast with him and I noticed he counts money aloud in Chinese.
Chalerm can use the old Mac. I have wireless broadband for it.

The flirty gay waiter in the restaurant in the soi has asked me very darn day if I want to go have “fun”. I always say no. I have told him I have a boyfriend but this doesn’t seem to make any difference.
On Saturday this waiter said he was going to a go-go bar after finishing work in the restaurant. I presume he is not there to watch, but to dance. A part time job! This guy is more professional than I thought.
The rest of the waiters know about this, and they cooperate so the go-go waiter has some excuse to come over to my table and ask me (once again) if I want any “fun”.
He should give up soon. If he doesn’t I will tell him to stop.

You would make the gay waiter very happy, and increase his standing among his peers if you said: I will have fun with you tomorrow.” That would give you two weeks to deliver, right?

You know SF, you have a responsibilty to spread joy and happiness wherever you go….
You need to stop being such a heartbreaker!

The waiter sounds fun, but probably you cannot fool
around being a married man, though this doesn’t
stop the Thai’s at all, I would expect it would upset
Chalerm if you did, so…maybe you better no, no matter
how tempting, or not tempting…better not….it is fun
to flirt though, and I will say about Thailand, it is the
only place any cut boy has flirted w/me in over 20 years!!!! Even if you don’t do anything, it is nice to be
wanted. (Maybe they only want your pocket book/ATM?)… R

Wherever I go I spread joy, happiness and 500 baht bills.

SF,
Did you ever stop to think that maybe why all these flirts mob you is because they know you won’t agree?
Next time why not say, “I want FUN, I want it right now and right here!”
Then report back to us what happens!
