The guest that I have been hosting for the past 11 days boarded a plane early this morning and is now flying back to America. While my TF activities have been limited for the past days, now I am back and quite frankly, am ready for a few beers!
So watch out, TF! I'm back and more dangerous than ever!
After today I won't be spending as much time on TF as usual and most likely will not be able to vote every day. A friend from the USA is arriving tonight and so I'll be playing tour guide, nanny, translator, shopping expert, and drinking buddy for the next eleven days. And that's why my name is conspicuously missing from TF events for the coming days. But I'll be back soon!
Cheers!!!
They're back! Those tiny black ants that are always present in my apartment. About every 2-3 months they come and do a mass rally around my computer! Today they're running all over the desk, all over the keyboard, the mouse, even the monitor! And they have a nasty bite too! I don't give them food or water...there is NO REASON for them to rally around my computer but they do! And it's soooooo damned annoying!
Aside from a fast thumb or forefinger, does anyone have a cure for ants? If so, what i
I took a break to go chase nursies over Sunday and Monday but I could not persuade any of them help me to finish my sperm count test. Finally this afternoon I yelled, "Can't any of you help me to discharge???" And they sent me home. I think they misunderstood.
Absolutely NO ONE signed up for my event starting at The Office (Sukhumvit 33) last night! But as it turned out, ten people actually joined and we had lots of laughs (and drinks) as usual!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Everyone hard at work at The Office!
I wonder what he's thinking!
Ghee had just arrived from Belgium and looks a bit sleepy! lol

I had already decided a couple of days ago not to go out and fight the crowds on new year's eve and just stay at home.
About 6:35 I got a call from Aommy (Aomerica) telling me that a taxi driver said there had been two explosions, one at Saphan Kwai and another at Victory Monument. I told Aommy that I hadn't heard anything except that I had seen many police cars and fire trucks racing north on Phaholyothin Road. I dismissed the thought of anything major happening except perhaps a fire, but I t
If you've never read this poem, please take the time to read it. Even though it was written almost 200 years ago, it manages to capture the spirit which embodies Christmas.
The Night Before Christmas
Clement C. Moore, 1822, New York
‘Twas The Night Before Christmas, when all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their be
Two Weeks Before Christmas!
T'was two weeks before Christmas, And all through Iraq,
The people still worried that Saddam would be back.
The soldiers went out on their nightly patrols,
Capturing the bad guys was always their goal!
With raids seeming endless in the triangle Sunni,
We hoped that not all of Iraq was so looney!
We gathered the tribe of Saddam, in Tikrit,
And suddenly now they all started to snitch!
They told of a farm where Hussein just might be
Odierno then calle
Well, Soi 8 Pub was pretty lively last night and turned out to be a good venue to kick Idar's ass out of Thailand! There were no tears, but there were more than a few funny faces!
Enjoy!
Well, the Monday night parties are back! This time held at Admiral's Pub, a Danish pub with very good food and reasonable prices. The grand finale was moved to Gulliver's Soi 5 though I opted not to join the late night group.
Viva Monday nights!!!
John and his bf! Well, no actually, it's thomaswd's son if you can believe it!
I have very few Western friends in Thailand, but my friend Joe is one of them. Joe and I met when we both lived in southern California about 15 years ago and he decided to move to Thailand. I had already spent 8 months in Thailand and studied Thai at AUA Chiang Mai and so I was kind of Joe's mentor.
A little about Joe: Never married, comes from a good Jewish family and grew up in New York City, and earned an early living as a sports writer. When he moved to Thailand he set up his own consultin
