I'm sorry but this man is insane to move to Philippines at this point in his life. As you know I'm 50 now and can't dance. How am I supposed to compete with a man of this caliber lol. Yeah he will do fine and as for me, maybe I can take some of those free dance lessons he's talking about.

Dear friend and members,
I did give you the subject of Tom's (not his real name) post to me: "Moving
to Manila."
He was not asking but telling. I get a lot of these. This guy is coming no
mater what. I told him I share this on topic post with a stranger with my
friends. There may be a couple here.
Tom write;
I am sorry I was not clear enough.
[look how cool Tom is. He did not say, "You don't understand!" He took the
blame. He will do fine I do believe.]
But I have had too many "pros" and not enough "cons," so I was glad to hear
yours. I neglected to tell you that I am 80 years young, not 80 years old.
In fact I am getting ready to go to the dance tonight. Wait till you see me
do a fast Cha Cha Cha. I may have a chance to teach dancing (for free of
course.) Anyway, I met a person from the Philippines and he told me he pays
his office help P12000 per month. And they may have dependents.
[this implies he has dependents or will be getting some. The plot thickens!"
My money is translated to P28000 per month.
[We tell him but he got it figured.
I should be able to exist on that, since my tastes are quite simple. and I
intend to look for a place in Pasay City, near the VA. Since I ride a bike
everywhere here, I intend to do the same over there. I don't need a car.
All indications are that I can get a Studio Apartment for less than P7000
per month. Class? of course not but good enough for me. I may not need to
save that much in money by doing my own cooking and I will eat out.
All indications are that I will not be eating steak and lobster. From there
I want to look up the Senior Centers and find out where all the dancing is.
Maybe teach dancing. I had an uncle and aunt who passed a couple years back
and both were ninety nine. I may have a few years left too.
So the only thing I am waiting for is the latest rulings on the VA. Just
sent them an e-mail. Anything other help will be appreciated. Thanks Tom

I will keep you advised. I am very serious, if he come I will be there to
greet him, maybe rip. I doubt if they will be lined up to rip him off. I bet
he bring a suitcase.
Again, I will send you comments. Remember everyone in the States is telling
him he is insane to come here at all, just like the did or do us.
Very best always,
Don
