Hey Steve

Ahh, but is it a feast these days, Tim. I think your discipline over the last few months says otherwise-which speaks well to your younger slimmer look-great job on the diet!

Count me in as well....

The choice between debit and credit (where credit cards are accepted) when making a purchase. I'm sure that's a looong way off.

Add me to that list as well (DIA)...It's where I met my wife as well-couldn't be happier

K-1 Visas to the US from the PI is about 8,500 per year. (Second most world wide is China at about 2,500). Almost all of these unions are the result of internet dating at the start. Through FB groups and those we know personally-there are countless couples so willing to share their lives as a happy Phil-AM couple. Where is there any evidence that these unions resulting in scams, etc. Common sense should weed out those who are potential scammers or players.

It seems that given the current political climate under Duterte that leniency in his case would be most unpopular and that might mean he's going to be paying some dues-as this goes through appeals. Unfortunate timing for this man for sure.

I suppose it would depend on the type of friend HE is and how well I know him as far as matching him up with a gal from a certain culture-that's a tough one-and yet guys open to starting relationships with women overseas are so few and far between-at least in my area of the US.

I also sent the details of what you show here to a friend in Puerta Princessa-he's got a decent amount of friends, they get out quite a bit and have linked this post so he can check it out-just another set of eyes, I guess-I hope he gets tracked down

I wonder if this guy can heal a hang over too

It's also a good way to roughly guage the size of the family you will encounter before walking in a home for the first time...

(not sure if this is a cryptic way of saying things are on a turn for the worst or....) but anyway my wife was just yesterday playing with a new app on her cell phone that displays a whole host of facial adjustments...some funny, some scary, some cute...etc

All the best to you JGF...Ha ha...a Mexican theme restaurant, ran by an Australian with Filipino employees likely with American & British patrons...my what a cross cultural menagerie to say the least!! G'dAy Mate!, Hiya!, Hello, Ola! Maayon Buntag!! Por favor, try our famous Beef Burritos, palihog-It's ang Sarap, sarap. Pay in Mex pesos, Phl Peso, American Dollars, Pounds or Aussie Dollar!!

Mr ""Newtlug""...In dealing with law enforcement myself, it's relatively easy these days to get the name of the prospective "tourist" who shares these types of intentions on line-connecting one's name to a passport number and then conveying that to the country one may be visiting can mark that person. Surveillance usually is the next step. Also note that even developing nations have a "code" in their jails-I'll let you figure out the rest.-just food for thought-that's all.

Well Dave, that would be one way to keep things on the lighter side for sure! All 3 together may share internet dating stories (yea as if that's their source ha ha) Putin/Weng... Duterte/Zimmerman...Trump/Melanie Knauss What is it with these guys meeting/dating/marrying women from other countries anyway? Good, bad, or indifferent great minds think alike

If not more in 'round about ways. It seems on the surface that Duterte's war on drugs is being fought on the street level and yet nothing regarding syndicates. The term drug lord is very loosly used in the Philippines IMO. The real ones are out of reach.
