    Pictures 02/2013 - Festy turns 50 at the beach.

    My 50th is on Feb 23rd. Will probably spend the afternoon at/near Big D's BBQ on the beach. Stop by and say hello if you are in Sosua on that day. Cheers.

    Like WSJ3 said to me, there are MORE yesterdays than tomorrows. At least I sandwiched it between my Boca and Medellin trips.

    Re: Festy turns 50 at the beach.

    I'll definitely stop by, Festy, if I remember ... memory can be a problem for an old geezer of fifty-nine.

    Seņor JDR, I wouldn't say 'the best is behind us' after fifty. In my case, the best was yet to come ... I didn't get into sailing till after I was fifty. (Likewise with mongering.) And I didn't get into the life of leisure I now live as a retired old fart until after my fifty-fifth birthday.

    Never married, no children, and every bit of my pension (after taxes) is under my exclusive control ... Schweeeeeet.

    (On the other hand, there are the twice-a-week visits to Dear Auntie, in Alzheimer's care. Oh well.)
    I'm still "Just A Lurker."

    The Chinese virus infected the Western world with Chinese-style totalitarian politics. ​- Gladiator

    The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. – H. L. Mencken

    Well since you didn't start this path at age 24, you don't know what you missed.

    Jeezus Christ on a rubber cross, I should say I don't!

    Let's see ... at 24, I was going on-and-off with a girl aged 28, who had 'given it up' to me but who was striving to persuade herself that she would still be a virgin if she disavowed the act. She was still living with her parents ... I was somewhere in the process between 'living with my mother' and 'my mother is living with me' (because in the latter case I was paying more than Mom was) ...

    Jeezy-peezy, when I look at my own past, I was SO fucked-up! It explains why I'm still so fucked-up as an AARP-eligible seasoned citizen.

    Is that worth joining? Do they have a monger rate?

    It was January 1990 and a man handed me a card for cheap suites which was located on a second floor. I knew it was something else and it was, a chica house. Well in 1990 there were dozens just on Roosevelt Avenue alone in Queens.


    There were Colombians and Dominicans. There were flaccas and everything else. Some casas had 18 -20 chicas. It was $21 for 15 minutes.

    I went everyday and twice on Friday and Saturday from 1990-1993.

    Then it was the streetwalkers. BJs were $20 and I was out every night.


    A dick that recharged for 2 or 3 sessions a day everyday is "LONG" gone.

    There was never a day where I didn't have $21.

    Don't get me wrong, the final act will be great. Now I can walk into HR and ask for 3 months off and they will say, sure, knock yourself out.

    Fuck no to both. I said AARP-eligible.
    Paid membership here is worth more to me than being a card-carrying old fart.

    Re: Festy turns 50 at the beach.

    I turned 30 on Fat Tuesday in Rio for Carnaval with a fiesta at the Red/Black Ball. Stayed on Copacabana beach. Nuf said.

    I turned 40 in Cienfuegos, Cuba in 2003...several of us landed there in the late 90's when Varadero, Guanabo and Havana were under siege by the Black Baret "Special" Police and snaggin the chicas. Owner of the casa I stayed at drove his small motorcycle out into the country about 40km at 5am to get a live, baby goat...strapped to his handlebars to bring back for the party. His wife prepared the goat stew in a large cast-iron, granny clampet kettle in the back yard. awesome fiesta.

    Now turning 50 and looking forward being surround by bikini beach bunnies, beer and bbq. Maybe a nap...

    I wanted to spend my Big Five-O at Kitty Hawk NC - the centennial of flight. (Yeah, the same day.) But no ... the guy who was going to get me a place to stay, let it slide; and I ended up at work (teaching something aviation-related; if I told you, I'd have to kill you.)

    After reading the PSRiches and WSJ3 Philippines thread, and of course Robert13213's Asian adventure, I'm starting to think South East Asia for my big Six-Oh. But dayamm - Philippines or Thailand? Angeles or Pattaya? Decisions, decisions ... Maybe I oughta just do both?

    We may need a poll? I suggest you do both.
