The Mrs and I had to go to the LUDO/ TISA area of Cebu.(from Consolacion) I arranged to meet with my BIL At SM Seaside.to guide me in to his workshop.This trip was busy but uneventful using Google maps On departing he said I will show you a better way out..follow me on my scooter...OK....WELL..We travelled directly through CARBON market, dodging electric scooters/Tartanillia,s /onto the full length of Colon St...City Hall....Plaza Indepencia....ALL at 4.0pm....then onto the port road where we parted. Now I know that you city guys may be puzzled with this but it was a learning curve for me ,but in a way interesting. That is even more impressive because for you, that was all done on the "wrong" side of the road! 4 Link to post Share on other sites

My wife knows not to give me a spoon unless I'm eating soup or ice cream. When eating at someone else's place I pick up the spoon and ask, what the hell is this for? Joking of course. 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm Ok with the PSSSST or Joe, but "Daddy!" makes me nervous....... There's also that loud kissing sound (usually from guys) that I don't understand and hope I'm not misinterpreting. Maybe it's the reverse of PSSSST? Edited February 24, 2022 by Chris24 3 Link to post Share on other sites

My parents survived the depression so nothing goes to waste. Funny we are the opposite... I'm not as fussy and can sometimes miss small spots in chicken legs. I thus notice my wife eyeing my plate. She calls it reviewing....We have a laugh......Life's short..... 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites
