I'm on TF now and can't believe what I see.
I started exploring the revamped site and pressed "Who's Online"
21 People? Is that all?
I thought that I was in the minority kicking and screaming about the changes.
Apparently the silent majority is speaking with their keyboards and mobile devices.
I had an announcement, but nobody is here to read it.
I hereby announce that I have not given up on TF!
I will still come to the site a few times a month.
..... But mostly with a morbid fascinati
Did Obama Have an Affair with Vera Baker?
"The rumors are swirling, but I never heard them. The first I heard of them was in this preemptive defense calling them smears. Larry Johnson is talking this up, but he isn’t the most reliable source…however when Jammie Wearing Fool has info and predicts this will be a scoop I listen.
From Sharon Churcher’s preemptive defense piece:
The woman was purportedly sidelined from her duties after Senator Obama’s wife, Michelle, became convinced that he had
Just wanna write this to get it off my chest as a kind of therapy.
I was just ripped off! (My opinion)
Last night I brought in a chunk of money to buy some properties here in Thailand. I transferred the money from my bank in USA to my Bangkok Bank Limited Account as I've done many times in the past. But this time.. the rate of exchange WAS BLATANTLY FALSE. (my opinion)
Let's just say that money which arrived in Thailand less tha
Anybody around the sports authority in Bangkapi TOMORROW is invited to come over to the track to watch the fifth annual 31 legged race sponsored by Honda.From about 9am to 3pm, 23 January 2010, many teams of 30 school children representing every far flung corner of Thailand will be competing in a freakish competition modeled after a 3 legged race.The distance is short, only 50 meters, and each team gets to "run" the distance two times. The winning team will probably cover the distance in about 8
This is a real and actual chat dialogue between a Thai gal who recently graduated from university and myself. It is completely unedited, absolutely word for word, except for the removal of her name. * says:

This is my first journal entry about Thai Culture. Because I am not Thai, I called in the help of faycyber who has already posted many hundreds of Thai lessons on this very Thailandfriends website. (See faycyber's journal). The topic of today is the "sin sawd" or bride price. It is something that needs to be very carefully negotiated. We were lucky to have a couple who is very much in love and may be tying the knot if we can get through this delicate cultural anomaly of Thailand.... Some say th
I went to bobbyboy's event and I won a free fotobook hahaha......
He was giving out 25 free fotobook
Thanks to Bobby and Rob
It's always great to meet old friends and then to meet a few new ones!
This is about a friend. He is a doctor from the west on holiday in Thailand. He met a Thai female through a popular social networking site.
They were flirting a bit online and then decided to meet when he came to visit Thailand.Upon meeting he noticed that she was acting erratically/abnormally. She was showing classic symptoms of schizophrenia. My friend essentially wants to know what are the mental health options in Thailand? Are they affordable to common people? Where can he refer this woman
Thanks to everyone for the votes over the past 4+ years!I am ecstatic to announce that I have met my goal.....Now I can finally go back to watching sports, studying Thai language and being an exotic dancer. The "Winner" is olympos, my good friend from Turkey. Because he is a dude, and not readily available in Thailand the "prize" will be split between him and vote 100001 which is OMG.That will be all for now....
Yes... you can win!!!... For vote number 100,000Lunch or Dinner at Fuji with me... And Swensen Ice Cream for dessert!Regular voter only... not some fly by night first time voter! This meal and dessert can be substituted with somtam for any winner who doesn't like Japanese food and/or cannot handle the calories in ice cream. Disclaimer: I have the right to withdraw this offer or substitute anything at my whim.
I just bought a cute little Acer Aspire with a Linux system. Whenever I try to add any program that isn't already on the computer I keep getting a pop up that says:You are attempting to run "system_install_packages" which requires administrative privileges., but more information is needed to do so. Authenticating as "root"Password: ____________________I own the computer... what on earth is the Password? Vote, please!
I'm almost done with the vote thing.
If Jimmie stays put, I'm projected to be the second person to reach 100K sometime soon.
In my 4+ years on TF, I never sent cut and paste individual vote whoring messages to anyone.
When other people did it to me, initially I was shocked at both the brazenness and the effectiveness of that tactic.
The most whoreish thing I've done is to put a note at the end of some of my journal entries appealing for votes from readers.
I was number one in vote rat
I found a great dating website and I love reading what the girls write. I almost pity them because I think their odds of finding a good guy on that site are lower than Admin's odds of winning the world poker championship in Las Vegas. (But probably higher than finding a good guy on TF)

I won't try to sway anyone's opinion here, but I avoid the "celebrations" like the plague. Usually I leave the country or stay in my room for three days. These days this **** has gotten out of hand.Why?, you may ask..... Ohh maybe it's because I don't like to have piss or dirty klong water thrown on me. Maybe it's because I don't want to be targeted because of my ethnicity. Maybe because I like to b
In getting wet:
Choice 1: Take a bath or shower.
Choice 2: Get rained on.
Choice 3: Get a golden shower from some hot chick.
Choice 4-1000: Other ways of getting wet.
Last choice in the world: Have some drunk Thai punk or farang a**hole throw water on me during Songkran festival.
Traditional Sonkgran was nice in the past. Now it's just an excuse to be a thug or molester.Ummmm... ohh yeah... Don't forget to vote for me!!
Each passing year when I travel through the Philippines, I see more and more poverty and desperation due to the rampant government corruption and very unequal distribution of wealth. Yet, I am truly surprised by the face of kindness and cheerful spirit put forth by the natives who cross my path. Please feel free to share one of these moments with me from 11 FEB 2009.
Is this you? It's me!!

SEX AND TECHNOLOGY
Bangkok Post Mar 26, 2009
When a user turns into an addict
As Thai society has increasingly embraced high technology for the sake of convenience in many aspects of life, it has sometimes been misused and misplaced. It has even been used to provide sexual gratification.
Sex and love have become such a big part of the cyber world. Online chat channels have increasingly become a popular means of finding lovers and parti
Here are a random group of pics from the TF event last night. Do you recognize anyone in the photos? My apologies go to anyone who wanted to be seen, but wasn't.... And to those who didn't want to be seen, but are.
Kudos go to Admin for snapping most of the shots above.Now please give me my vote so I can reach 100K by the end of August.

The Nation Mar 9, 2009
Police have arrested a 64-year-old German man for having allegedly set fire to 11 telephone booths and three bus stops in Thonglor area.
Metropolitan Police commissioner Pol Lt Gen Worapong Chiewpreecha held a press conference Monday to announce the arrest of Heutsch Dieter Beckers.
Worapong said Beckers burned the phone booths and bus stops late March 3 and early March 4.
He said footages
I'm back and voting every day, so feel free to vote for me as well.Where was I? I do confess, for the past three years, I've been traveling to the Philippines in the month of February to forget about my ex gf's birthday, valentines day, and my birthday.This year, while flying from Cebu City on Cebu Island to Bacolod City on Negros Island, I came across a flight attendant that reminded me of someone who many of us know.What do you think?
Spike, my good friend, the DJ, landed a gig in Singapore over Valentine's day. Anyone who has attended one of his events has to admit that he really puts his heart into his work.
Let's all wish him the best.
