If your only response to me giving you an 'abhorrent' for your 'Smith and wesson' reply when everyone else if trying to help keep this dog alive and understands the kindness of the new owners, is to give me an abhorrent back for my positive suggestions, then I feel sorry for you. I know you often comment on the Forum in a ranting and negative fashion and I am sure many have figured out your personality by now.

I don't care about an 'abhorrent' or 'trollin' - in fact, you went through my previous posting and gave me SIX negative ratings today! One (a dislike) was even for my information on a Comet!! VERY sad man. They are only 'marks on paper' and mean nothing if they come from someone like you. Coming from the decent folks on here would force me to rethink my attitude. In your case, it is a joke. I like jokes.

 

That is the hallmark of we expats... the World is full of people our age that grew up and grew old and eat out at at 5pm for the senior citizen special. Those of us who defied age struck out searching for a second youth.... hats off to my fellow expats who saw age as just a number .... Huzzah !!

 

The Wuhan Institute of Virology lab is located just 20km from the fish market that is the claimed source of the virus. The first 14 reported cases had no contact with the fish market. For the past year the WIV has been using CRISPR technology to modify the corona virus in bats. They actually published several papers on their work. Analysis of the RNA of this new virus shows that it is a bat originated virus, and has a new gene element in the RNA structure that effects the proteins of the spikes on the virus making it extra virulent. The lab that did this analysis says this is not a genetic anomaly that could have happened by spontaneous mutation. The new gene element discovered in the virus is nearly identical to a gene from the HIV virus. A cocktail of HIV medications has so far been found to be the most promising treatment.

Okay, who knows, maybe all of that stuff is just coincidental.

Go see Mike Berovic in Sibulan. You are actually very lucky to be here with his services so close by. Berovic Chiropractic Clinic

He fixed my back and neck problem i had for over 30 years. If he needs X-ray he will send you to Silliman, if he needs you to see a dr he will send you to Silliman or better. But if he can help you he will, and he probably will help you I am sure.

 

I was posting quite a bit some years ago when were building our house, which led to great conversations and some truly good friends that we met along the way.

Not as much to post now, other than a few projects on the house here and there (I do need to update a few previous posts as things were completed).

Really do thank the many posters as we've found some nice restaurants and places to find things we were looking for that would have been more difficult without this forum.

"(if possible)" Since 1970 I sailed with my boat(s) in the sub- and tropics mostly wearing shorts only or nothing at all so getting melanoma was not a surprise to me. But the melanoma on the sole of my foot was. Dec 6 th I'm operated in Chong Hua after extensive/expensive testing a.o. a MIR off the foot what gave a good impression of the cancer spread . They cut out accordingly and removed a big slap 5"x 5"x 5/16".
Biopsy of the slap turned out good, no spreading so now I have to go for regular lymph node controle and try to get my foot back in shape.
Total cost incl previous treatments/tests about P 200,000 whereof Phil Health covered P 36,000.

I leave for the Philippines to live in 10 days so my prospective is from someone going to live there. Last year I was at the end of my marriage and I knew a change was needed. I made the decision to live closer to the ocean. I looked into Florida but the costs are too high for my meager pension. I looked into Mexico, Panama, Ecuador but didn't find anything on the internet that suited me. I've always liked Asian women and wanted to visit Thailand . Thailand's visa situation didn't look good so I looked at Cambodia next, I read somewhere it's the most landmined country in the world so no thank you. Vietnam didn't feel right because of the war even though I joined the military after the war in 1979. When I found out the Philippines had 7,107 islands and spoke English I wanted to try it. Then I found out about the girls being willing to date older men I said bonus. I'm 55 and dating a filipina who is 47. So I'm not interested in 20 year old girls but to each their own. A 3 month test run convinced me to try living in the Philippines. I will take a one month vacation in Japan before heading to Dumaguete. That's my boring story of why I'm moving there.
