    I am white and my wife is from the Philippines. The confusion that arises when people try to distinguish nationalities is not limited to white people trying to tell the nationalities of different Asians. My wife is constantly approached by Mexicans who attempt to speak to her in Spanish. This is not cause to be offended, but when she tries to explain to them she doesn't speak Spanish they usually become offended. This behavior is offensive to her and I. I can usually spot a person from the Philippines a mile away (curiously better than my wife most of the time) and I find it ridiculous that the Mexicans cannot tell that she is not one of them. Something that struck me as kind of funny is that when we visited the Philippines last time we went to a restaurant/bar frequented by several expatriates from the U.S.,U.K.,Australia,New Zealand, Canada,Switzerland, etc. We were invited to join the group in a few drinks. My wife's uncle whom I deeply respect and whom I generally consider well educated continually referred to the group as Americans even thought I explained they were not all American. If I recall only 1 or 2 of them were American. I found this kind of funny but after correcting him at least twice that they were not in fact all Americans out of respect I quit correcting him. I think the vast majority of the time people mean no harm when they mistake a person's nationality. They simply do not know any better.

    I don't work with death but I can tell you with absolute certainty that ghosts do exist. I work in a jail that has had at least 3 suicides, 2 of them since I started working there, and I and most of my co-workers have seen things that have no scientific explanation. Most of us have seen things walk down the hall with our periferal vision. One night I was sitting at my desk and I saw someone or something walk down the hallway I had to get up and investigate. This was about 2 am and all the inmates were locked up. I quickly got up and walked over to the corner where I thought I saw someone which was only a few feet away but there was nothing to see. On several occasions the shower in one of the cells came on by itself. At first I thought someone was playing a joke but the very last time I was standing only 3 or 4 feet away from the cell. The inmates were locked in the inner cell and could not have done it. To be absolutely sure of this I stayed where I was and called for another officer to come to the hallway. When he arrived I went into the cell and checked the inner doors. They were both locked with the inmates inside. There is no possible way they could have turned the shower on and then went back into their bunks without me hearing the door shut. I have tried to close the doors myself without making a loud racket but it's impossible. On another occasion a dark transparent figure was caught on surveillance camera following an officer around in the kitchen. The latest thing I experienced was when I opened a cell to move a couple of inmates and as I looked over at the empty shower stall something hit the inside of the shower curtain! It kind of freaked me out and scared me for a while. I had to reassure myself that whatever presence is in the jail has never hurt anyone and hopefully never will!

    Personally when I go down on my wife I love burying my face in her pubic hair. As long as it is not an extreme amount I would take hairy over shaved anytime.

    MY WIFE WHO IS A PILIPINA (FROM THE PHILIPPINES) AND I BOTH LOVE CHINESE BUFFETS. WE LIKE TO BE ABLE TO PICK AND CHOOSE AND HAVE ALL WE WANT OF CERTAIN ITEMS. WE HAVE EATEN AT MANY DIFFERENT CHINESE BUFFETS AND SEE ALL SORTS OF PEOPLE SUCH AS WHITES, BLACKS, HISPANICS, ETC. FROM MY OBSERVATION BLACK CUSTOMERS ARE NO MORE FREQUENT AT CHINESE BUFFETS THAN ANY OTHER GROUP OF PEOPLE.
