On days that I'm off from work, getting up at five o'clock in the morning to feed Myrtie her Starkist tuna.

Limited to "Ah ha!" when finding the elusive thingy at the hardware or auto parts store.

Well it's not like I obsess over it.

10. Would you sign up to be a colonist on another planet if it meant you would never be able to return to earth?

Not respecting cultural differences.

Proportionately, Native Alaskans kill far more many whales than Japan. Whale meat is traditional to both groups. And there is a fair chance Native Alaskans are Japanese.

Overstay Road. A YouTube channel by the stupidest person I've ever seen.

Expat living in the Philippines; constantly complains about America. Claims to be an American military veteran but whines about everything. Crybaby.

Forty-five years of age. His new wife is less than half his age. Their son is learning to walk. And he has a toddler daughter by another Filipina. So. He's not going anywhere until he is of retirement age.

Constantly drunk. Blames the Chinese when he runs out of alcohol because of the coronavirus staycation. Prior to coronavirus he blamed his wife.

Thinks wearing a mask is unnecessary. Philippine police think differently. He doesn't understand the mask is to protect me from him. Not himself.

29. If you were your own best friend, what piece of unsolicited advice would you give yourself?

Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country. Feel free to quote me on that.
