This is starting to look like an inferior forum where people look for a reason to argue instead of enjoy the comments!

It seems that on every forum there is always one person that wants to pick, pick, pick, but it would be against the forum rules if I was to say something to the like of "GO AND GET BLEEPED"

Now the moral is we make our own forum here, so stick around and improve it or jump off, but no drama, please.  And no blaming other people.  Everyone gets their say and if you don't like that person's opinion then skim over it.

Thanks Dave, but I will change my status to a lurker for the time being.  Been spending too much time on the forum.  Need to resolve other issues like my wife now wants to do the El Camino de Santiago de Compostela (Walk of St. James) in Spain.  The minimum is 100 kilometers with a backpack in the heat.  It's not my idea of fun.  (Apologies since it is not about the Philippines.)

When you stop using conjunctives when talking and say "have not" instead of "haven't" and the like.

You know you have been in the Philippines too long when you prefer using a tabo instead of using a bum gun or toilet paper.

When you stand ready to cross the street and wait for the cars to come before crossing rather than wait for a gap in traffic.

When you always turn right from the leftmost lane and left from the rightmost lane of traffic.

When you flash your headlights or turn on your hazard lights before doing the above.

When you say, "For a while." Rather than....can you wait a sec?

When you prefer Novelino to any other wine.

When you add more milk and sugar to your cup than coffee.

You drink beer with ice in it!

You know you have been in the Philippines too long when you have returned to the US, and now you just can't wait for the new Jollibee to finally open up.
