The Rant

[SAT 9,609]

Good luck finding a way to get your dog back. It had always been my wife and I's plan to bring our dog with when we return to the Philippines. Although that is far enough away, I doubt our current dog would still be around. I notice she's on the list as being a snub nosed breed to.

Calling someone fat is totally OK in the Philippines to. I had to explain to my wife that she shouldn't do that in the USA. Amongst her Filipina friends though, its totally acceptable. And she also affectionately calls me tambok (fat) as a nickname. I was actually considered thin before she got here, but that has really changed as she was determined to fatten me up.

I never could find anything but instant coffee in her country to. Some places had what they called brewed coffee, but its really bad tasting but does have a good kick to it. Last time I was there, I actually started finding some ok tasting real coffee. Doesn't help that they severely limit imported coffee to support their local coffee farmers, who do not grow the best coffee really.

OK now the rant

To the flipping idiots that still haven't learned to drive in the snow yet this year. Its almost March in Minnesota, if you haven't figured it out by now, stay home when it snows!

So I was in Subic Bay as a young Marine.....for about a month.....I remember some of the best friggin coffee I ever had in the Phils.....

(May be it was because I came off the USS Iwo Jima after drinking 5 months of sludge?)

She fattened you up for slaughter bro........

We once drove to Peru... That was enough adventure to last a while. No more South American border crossing in a car for me.

Oh #######, did you drive the "death road"?

That's seriously what I imagine! If you've ever seen that show "ice road truckers" (or whatever it's called in English, the Spanish title is different), there was a South American version where they had to go through Bolivia and that's what it was like. Totally ruined any sense of adventure I might've had before.

I'm warning you. I'm back.....

That is HILARIOUS.

I did state that the cat barfs on the wood floor.

She TRIES to barf on the carpet, but never succeeds because we pick her up and move her.

She also tries to stand on my husband and barf on him while he sleeps but she always gets launched.

For my rant: I hate when people try and make me follow the rules of the thread.

Your cat sounds awesome.

My rant: BLIZZARD.

Get your snowmobile ready so you can use it to go to the laundromat.

I saw the show on several occasions. It's good. I also saw another show that featured the road, I think it was modern marvels.......

It was Marsh Mokhtari, 2006 Death Road. Nat Geo

That show looks interesting too.........How would you like to live there? Everyday is an adventure......

In-re back. um....perhaps your husband don't know his own ox-like strength?

When you put it that way, we make a pretty sad group.
