“That would give her more time for a relaxing solar tanning session while enjoying a glass of sun tea.”

I do not think you understand the mindset or culture of a Filipina. Washing clothes seems to be their favorite exercise. I have often told her that she is going to wear them out from so much washing. You never see mechanical washing machines here. Most women would never use one.
I think she has bought our child so many clothes, only to have more to wash and wear to church !
My landlady, also married to an American from PA, is always on her porch scrubbing clothes. Frankly, I do not understand it.
My other point, tanning sessions on the beach is something you would never see here. All Filipinas have a natural tan.
Since the country consist of 7107 islands, going to the beach is like walking out the front door.
Last, but not least, you have witnessed the “dog in a manger” club, consisting of a few sad individuals that hate those of us who can enjoy our retirement by exploring other countries. As you saw, one or two of them are just filled with vile hate. If I did not love my home country, I would not be a 15 year member of FR, would I?
By the way, a group of us are having a FReeper gathering on the beach here within the next week or two. I am not the only FReeper in the Philippines.
God bless.
Yeah...that's our ol' buddy Alex the Chickenhearted. Once again, he's intentionally lying about why we in the "manger dog pound" always call him out. We couldn't care less about his happiness -- if playing with a toaster in the bathtub made him happy, more power to him...pun intended. He and anyone else is free to pack up and head off to the Philippines, Uruguay, or wherever else...I don't agree with it, but it's their business. I can't speak for my fellow dawgs, but what pi**es me off about Alex is he bashes America on every thread he pollutes with his presence. He admits to not having paid his expat taxes in years, yet feels he still has the right to criticize the nation that gave him everything he has...including the Social Security he brags about being able to live off in the Philippines. He calls America the "USSA" while reaping the fruits of a Socialist system he helped create in his lifetime.
But wait...there's more! No only does he trash his former nation and his former countrymen, but he encourages other FReepers to turn chicken-a** and desert our country, just when conservatives and patriots are needed most. We brought this to Kim Rob's attention back over the summer, and Alex got the smackdown for it. Lately, he's been trying to start the recruiting machine back up, though not so blatantly. But he's not nearly as smart as he seems to think he is, 'cause we're watching him.
So you see, not only is Alex a piece of sh...uh, I mean work, he's a coward, a tax cheat, a hypocrite, a bald-faced liar, and apparently revels in treating his wife like a maid. Once again, that's probably why he had to go abroad to find a wife...no American woman would have his sorry carcass.
Don't believe his bullshiiiite. We wish him all the happiness in the world...over there. We don't want him back.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Alex we don’t hate “those who spend their retirement exploring other countries”.
A few months ago, after a ferry sank in the Phillipines, one Freeper posted that it had sunk only a few miles from where he lived.
But, he doesn’t keep posting about how wise he is to be living there, and constantly trying to justify it.
As a result, we don’t say squat to him.
You’ve got no evidence to back-up your claim that we hate you because you live in the Phillipines; that’s a bald-faced lie.
