Down to five days till I'll be free.

Last week I fired myself so I am job less, next week I sell the house
so
I'll be homeless.

I'll stay in the motor home until the check clears then I'll buy a
ticket
to the Philippines.

I have shipped 31 boxes of "stuff" and should ship maybe 10 more next
week.

Looks like I am out of here.

Hi Burr

My cousin has lived there on and off. He says he likes it. Money goes far
and the girls are just very sweet and are very loyal to their men and
treat
them very nice. Personally I think it's still a dangerous place for
Americans to live in this time and age.

Not necessarily. As long as you stay out of the Muslim areas you should
be relatively safe. Christian Filipinos are still relatively friendly to
Americans, despite their experiences with Marcos. The Philippines had 50
soldiers in Iraq until they decided that the heat was too much to bear
staying in the kitchen. Filipino troops are trained by American soldiers
on how to fight their own Muslim insurgents. If you want to be literal,
any place outside of the US is dangerous for Americans to be nowadays.
But I'd rather be in the Philippines or Thailand than some places in
Europe.

Hi

I tend to disagree. The longer you live there, the better known you will
get. When these guys go looking for an American to get even with for
something that happens in Iraq or to the Muslim world, they will go with the
simpliest path in their brain which is the first American they can think of.
That well known American. They will already know his routine and it will
easy to capture him.

Once these guys get a hold of you, you are pretty much finished. All for
what? Good cheap living and fun that might end badly one day. I think it's
best to stay in this country for now unless you're going somewhere more safe
and cultured.

Even Europe isn't safe for Americans these days. I would be scared all the
time all alone in a foreign country. Most people feel they will be protected
like they are in America, only to find out the hard way no one's give a ****
about your rights outside this country. Stay home for now till things get
better politically unless again it's a well cultured country.

I would tend to agree that most of the rest of the world hates
Americans, and Muslims especially do. Note that I said *Christian*
Filipinos are usually friendly towards Americans. *Muslim* Filipinos
tend to hate our guts, and they're fighting a guerrilla war against the
Christian govt in Manila. AFAIK it all depends where you are in the
Philippines. I would NOT want to be on Mindanao, which is predominantly
Muslim, for example. And yes, Europeans hate us too, although less so in
places like Poland and Ukraine than in say Germany or France. Thank Bush
for most of this. (Although Muslims hate everybody who isn't just like
them.)

Not so. Really fat people are hard to kidnap. Try it sometime.

They can be beaten up easily, however, since they tend not to run very
fast. Since we're talking about thugs, they'll likely take the easy
route and just conk him over the head with a pipe.
