You should have fallen for a Filipina. When my wife makes vegetables, half of any vegetable dish is meat, usually pork. Last night she made barbecued pork on the grill. Served with two vegetables, one was raw cucumber sliced and served with vinegar and soy sauce for dipping, the other opo with pork. And of course the ever present white rice. I put on 20 pounds after she got here and she refuses to let me diet to take even a few of them off.

No. Filipina is the least desirable. I have the means and abilities to get a major babe from other countries luckily.

It's not, but neither is it funny for a woman to make her husband look stupid, but somehow that's widely tolerated (and often encouraged as well).

On this, my 10-year anniversary on VJ, I report that Mrs. T-B. just returned from a trip and said "Ecuador is no longer for me."  Seems like the naturalization has stuck, si man.

Howdy. Been ages since you last done that. Hope all is well and God bless.

Glad it all worked out. Thanks for helping out so many here on the site.

If you have the ability to get a major babe from any country, why did you fall for one where they eat like rabbits? I'll stick with my Filipina who believes if she's not feeding me animal flesh, she's not being a good wife. yes.gif

Oh did I mention Filipinas will take a piece out of your hide if you offend them? laughing.gif

Cause rabbits are good eatin.

Have you already written your love letter to that consulate now that Mrs. T-B is already a USC?
