    Why don,t you help her to submit her application to the department of tourism in how to promote tourism in the Philippines. looks like she is fully qualified and the good minister of tourism would love to have her onboard.

    I think the same can be said for being on a Forum - the vast majority of people use it to benefit from other members' knowledge or share opinions. But some get wound up and start being a bit verbally aggressive.

    I note (please correct me if I perceived this wrongly) that if some are negative to you then you ignore the comments and just carry on, rather than engaging them in a cycle of self-defense - a policy I try to adopt. After all (and I have no idea what expression you use in the US) in the UK we say 'Today's news is tomorrow's fish 'n chip paper' (as in the USED newspapers which were used to wrap f&c before health and safety laws stopped it). When I check my alerts on the Forum and find somebody gave me a 'rating' for a particular posting, it is very rare I have a clue what I had written a short time ago (fading memory has its benefits!).

    So, even though I very much admire this Forum and the majority of people who post on it, it is not really life and death.

    That is what most people now use the New York Times for, wrapping fish and also lining bird cages.

    I'm curious, why did you read that post and decide to make it political?

    Ditto. But I preferred the Mirror as it looked like I had twice as much. :smile:

    I think as a child I also used newspapers cut into sheets for dealing with the fish 'n chips and other 'delicacies' when my body had processed them!

    Hahahaha! Yup, both mum and dad were working so we had a few bob extra and it helped pay for my school dinners. Strangely though, I cant remember what was hanging in the school toilets.
