I have even managed to impress a Scorpio woman!!!   smile.png
By I knew things in very different  subjects OTHERS in that group of friends had brought up at a party. I dont remember which the other subjects were, but the 4-5th was she had headache but didnt want to go home and I told how that type can be cured/reduced without meds.

While you post a lot of BS and lies post against me claiming I dont know what I am talking about, but you have NEVER managed to correct me... Not odd, because  - except perhaps when I have said "if I remember correct" or such - I have only been corrected once*  and it WASNT by you...   big_smile.png

( * My info in a Visa situation wasnt the latest and I didnt know it was changed.)

And you have NEVER answered any of the posts where I have shown YOU are very much wrong... inspite of I have reminded you.  How come?   big_smile.png

No offense coach53, but I have to say this:

I'm sure you have good ideas and experiences you can share here to which we can relate or from which we can learn. But I'm hesitant to comment or correct your posts because most of the time, I don't fully understand what you're saying. Perhaps it's just me, or perhaps not. But do consider working on improving your English or using a language translation app, such as Google translate.  Though Google translate is not reliable when translating from English to another language (it's improving though), it's not that bad when it comes to translating from a language other than English to English.

Just my 2 cents.

Hello KANO.

I was a member here a while back.  Apparently, memberships expire.


- @The Cold War Kid

How far back have you been a member? I have been a member since 2011. My membership hasn't expired. I don't think memberships expire. Actually, if you want to terminate your account, you have to contact admin to do that, and they'll replace your profile name on past posts with a generic one like "GuestPoster(number)".

For me I have also suffered the same regarding family freeloading with a couple of ex girlfriends in the Philippines but my current girlfriend understands my financial situation much better and we seem to be able to come to a mutual compromise.

Last time I was there in May I rented a two bed condo in Cagayan De Oro and on my request her 2 younger sisters stayed with us to help look after our 2 year old daughter and to give my girlfriend and myself some privacy at night. The arrangement worked well and the eldest of my girlfriends two sisters helped with cooking, cleaning etc and for me, when my girlfriend had to go home to see her two sons from a previous relationship, I had company most of the time and me and the two sisters would go to the Mall or swim in the pool.

In fact I joked on the last night when my girlfriends sister stayed with us that she should go to bed early as my girlfriend and I were going to Cebu the next day and had an early flight. I told her to go to bed because she would need to get up early to clean the condo before we left and guess what, 4.30 am and I heard noises and she was busy cleaning.

I would like to take my nineteen year old daughter over to the Philippines to meet my girlfriend and her half sister and am thinking of going to Palawan and I am considering inviting my girlfriends sister along also because she is also 19 and it would mean my English daughter would have a friend to talk to and hang out with and also give me and my girlfriend some privacy.

I think it would be unfair to take my English daughter along on her own and taking my girlfriends sister is cheaper for me than flying my English daughter and her boyfriend over to the Philippines when I would still need to book two rooms.

@FilAmericanMom  Trust me it is not just you who struggles to understand the points that Coach is trying to get across. The problem I have with his comments is reading through all the drivel that goes with it. I mean who cares if he once impressed someone with the star sign of Scorpio, what does that have to do with anything.

@coach53 I appreciate that you and Lotus Eater do not see eye to eye on most things and to be honest I do not fact check what both of you say, Instead I just read all comments and come to my own conclusion. I would like to know though why you think it is difficult to impress a scorpio rather than, let us say a Capricorn. I myself am not into all that star sign rubbish and simply was pointing out that you saying you impressed a scorpio is irrelevant.

Well. Do you realy believe a translator would write it better?!   Its odd neither American nor English business people have had problem to understand my English speaking, which is much worse than my writing   smile.png  by my typical Swedish accent.

Actualy back in school I did write only one error in all written tests total in a whole year plus a few in an essay.  But after school I dont bother about spelling and grammar as normal among us top bosses.  (When we write something where spelling and grammar is important, we make a draft and let someone else check it.)
Actually around 20 years ago I got a BOOK in English approved by an American-Spanish publisher company...'

Do you find the bullshit and lies from Lotus Eater ok...?  Why havent you complained at him?      (Or BS from his "sidekick" Enzyte Bob, but in difference from the prick Lotus Eater,  Enzyte Bob is funny sometimes,)
- @coach53


As "Philippine Expert" on this forum, it's not my job to referee your squabbles with Lotus Eater, Enzyte Bob or other members. And as a person who has a busy life outside of this forum, if I believe it's not worth my time to comment on a certain post, then I just leave it be.

I've never met or spoken with the people whom you have said have not had a problem with your English. I've only read what your wrote in this forum. Frankly, I don't fully understand what you are saying, especially in your long-winded posts, which is why I often hesitate on commenting on your posts.

Have you ever heared of anyone, who have impressed a Scorpio enough to make a Scorpio say so?   smile.png     Thats the only time I have heared so inspite of we have a very high percentage of female Scorpios among my relatives.  (But the one, who got impressed is NOT a relative to me.) Scorpios have very high demand at both others and themselves, which make them harder to impress.

You say its rubbish, but how come then I can e g identify Aries by how they walk...?   E g once a woman told her son is Aries and I asked which of the Aries walking styles and showed them, which she found very funny I could copy correct without have never seen him. (Most common is they walk as a "plow" with head ahead very fast. Or they walk as a duck  1f923.svg

And such can be used to know if there is a chance a not people can suit as married.  One sister asked me and got a 40+ happy marriage, while some others havent listen...   smile.png

I have NEVER claimed I am "Philippine expert"  - but perhaps expert at everything except movies and snob culture  1f923.svg
I just answer when I know something... 

But I claim Lotus Eater is a liar and BS "expert"   smile.png

E g years ago I studied Philippine laws much, mainly business, business tax and real estate to get to know solution alternatives for myself.  And I joined a Philippine law forum with Filipino lawyers and law students to get answer at some important things I werent sure of, but of the 11 questions I had I got answer at only 4, while when I did read that forum and knew the answers at questions and I answered over 1200   smile.png

((Except names and time I have had very good memory, so e g a Business economy course others study 3 YEARS,  I studied 18 HOURS before I made test for whole direct.  But then I did read chapter headlines and skiped all, which I expected I can figuere out by logic thinking and things aiming at employees in huge companies because I aimed at start own ASAP anyway.  Plus 21 hours at a 1 year acounting course. And social science 1 year I did read only 8 hours before I got highest grade at that test. Back then in general 3- 5 % got highest grade.))

@coach53 Absolute crap, I have never heard so much rubbish in my life apart from when you explained about how you had only made one grammar error during doing your school essays for a year.

@Lotus Eater I think if Coach strapped a couple of frozen meatballs to his head at night and listened to Abba for 30 minutes four times a day, he may make a full recovery.

I have no idea what all you gents are talking about other than it seems to have morphed into a one-sided debate on the communication skills of certain astrological signs....what does that have to do with anything related to how this thread started off ?

One more very ignorant American...
I suppouse you claim embassassing TRUTHS about USA as fake news or such too inspite of its common knowledge in Europe but many Americans seem to not know - or have "forgot"   big_smile.png   and many Americans even deny them!!! 

On top of that you make a FALSE claim of what you say I said. Similar to Lotus eater's actions so not odd you took side with that liar...  big_smile.png    (I did say one error total in the many small tests plus a few in an essay.)

Typical small minded people to complain about my English, when its their own thinking capacity/ignorance which is the main problem   big_smile.png
(But I got suprised FilAmericanMom wrote against me instead of against these pricks, she has allways written good before.)

It isnt the first time some "small in mind" people - with English as first language - complain about language at someone, some of them adding BS and lies. 
It wasnt in this forum, but the worst attack I have seen was against a Spainard with terrible English, but not worse than still understandable  - at least by me smile.png - but a "wolfpack" attacked him including one of the moderators!  NOTHING about the content he wrote, only about his language.   He got sad and left.
While I grew up in the back then toughest suburb in Stockholm, specialist at stoping bullies/idiots by mostly ignore -  but such dont function at internet - or muck them showing how liars/stupid they are...  I suppouse the big mass understand what pricks such people are. At least the majority understood IRL...
Cherryann01
Well congratulations to you because I can honestly say that you are the first person I know of who has managed to go from a few grammatical mistakes a year when you were at school to making more mistakes than a four year old in adult life.
And your completely wrong in your assumption that I am an American so please at least do not assume anything about me.
Remember that when you assume you make an ass out of u and me.

- @Cherryann01
I love ABBA!
Cherryann01

@Jonassantiago Yeh I like them also. I always thought that when listening to or watching programmes playing their greatest songs and ranking them in order of popularity that the song Eagle was always under rated. My favourite Abba song for sure.

@coach53,

Words of advice to you before I make a request to mods to have irrelevant posts removed from this thread:

1. Listen and pay attention. You missed the fact that Cherryann01 is not American. Also, when I mentioned the term "Philippine Expert," I was referring to my designation in this forum, and that I do not referee petty squabbles.

2. Learn to accept criticism. First of all, the reason why I suggested that you either improve your English or use a translator was not to criticize you, but to help you and your posts be understood better. I even said that you probably have good advice and experiences we can relate to or learn from, but if it's difficult to understand what you wrote, then it would be for naught. But then you went on this tirade and insulted people, and mentioned your English aptitude at school on one of your years in school. So, here's an actual criticism about your English: The proof is in the pudding. Again, learn to accept criticism.

3. . You said, "Do you find the bullshit and lies from Lotus Eater ok...?  Why havent you complained at him?"  First of all, you cannot tell me what to do. You are not my boss. Bring your ego down a notch. Also, FYI, I don't take sides especially when it comes to petty squabbles. I comment, share and give advice based on my own experiences and knowledge on certain topics.

4. Back when I was a little girl, one of my relatives would often tease his sister, my cousin and me. His sister would get so worked up, upset and angry. So, my relative would keep on teasing his sister because he gets a kick out of it. But my cousin and I would just laugh at his jokes about us and not get upset, and he would then leave us alone. I do that too on this forum. I just ignore some posts, especially trolls. Not worth my time. You can do that too and not get too worked up with what others say.
