There are a few ways to save money and make cheap calls to and from the Philippines. Using the long distance service provided by your regular residential telephone service may be convenient, but it isn't the cheapest route to take even if you manage to get a "preferred country" deal.
I have no idea how I came across this little piece of information, but the word "U.S." with periods is rarely ever searched for. I checked my blog and I used it like that more than a thousand times. Over the past several hours, I've been changing it to "US" in every article on this blog. But wait, there's more:
Online referrals from other websites and search engines are the usual ways of getting website traffic. Getting website traffic from offline sources is also possible if you associate with the people who control those sources.
At the end of my rant, I'll explain the reference to "Filipinos make me puke", which Art Bell never said or wrote anywhere.
Look closely at the little picture I've placed to your left. US Representative William Delahunt committed an act of treason against the country of the United States of America on June 26, 2008. The American Heritage dictionary defines treason as the "Violation of allegiance toward one's country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one's country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies." Even if treason can't be proven, Delahunt has still committed a crime.
Over the past week or so, I've purposely avoided writing about news items and other things that have kept me in a perpetual state of "pissed off".
Back in January of 2007, I wrote about how Lance Corporal Daniel Smith was convicted of rape here in the Philippines. A few days later I wrote "Daniel Smith Versus the Attorneys of Suzette Nicolas". Daniel Smith is serving with the US Marine Corps, the branch of the military I retired from.
The Kentucky Derby is not only a sports event, it's big business. It involves horses, jockeys, trainers, owners, television networks, Internet websites and videos, gamblers and consumers. The latest race occurred on May 3, 2008. Stay tuned until the end and I'll tell you why I'm writing about this. If you don't care for the sport, feel free to skip straight to the end.
God only knows, God makes his plan.
The information's unavailable to the mortal man.
…Slip Slidin' Away
About a year ago, I mentioned how I was giving until it hurts by supporting one brother-in-law and his family here in the Philippines. Soon after that, I started supporting ANOTHER brother-in-law and his family. Charity never ends.
Dealing with life in general can be frustrating in itself. Dealing with someone else's life can be even more frustrating. I and my wife are extremely close, more so than the average couple in my opinion. Despite our language differences, and I won't get into that right now, we've had no serious relationship problems in almost 25 years (more than 23 of that as a married couple). Still, the events of the last few years have been taxing on both of us.
I'd like to give you a rundown of these events so that you can see where I'm coming from. This will probably end up being one of my longest posts.
