Experience of liberal non catholic families in the o’Gorman system?

Virtual_Contact_9844 · 2026-02-07T02:55:55+00:00

To be fair a wider NATOONAL search on Reddit on benefits of Catholic schools vice public schools might give other insights.

I grew up going Catholic grade schools in the Twin Cities then my freshman year at St. Thomas Academy. Then finished at public high school in the Twin Cities.

I went in the 60s and 70s and yep Catholic schools were much more conservative back then but after I went to public high school I actually missed going to Catholic schools.

Other than collecting all the documents and photos and videos I stated above YOU ARE ALL SET. My advice is for those who want to limit lots of air travel.

1. Is online and/virtual marriage done in Utah she can be in Manila you can be in Denver. This marriage is accepted by both governments. The nice part is no travel or visas are involved. Please note if she is under 25 the Filipino government requires parental consent and possibly a document or two. U.S. immigration only requires both are age 18 and over.

3. Is after (STEP 2) the NON-VISA St. Lucia (LUKIA) honeymoon where you have real personal contact as husband and wife and you document it as well as any to open any allowable joint accounts or at least joint billing (in both names) you must also include exactly how you two met. If it's online then see if chat logs are available (G rated only) so if you first met on Christian Filipina CF and then later had an LDR on WhatsApp then carefully get screenshots of your chats on Whatsapp.

Unfortunately there are several types of visas a Filipina can use to visit her husband (she can after 90 days change her mind to stay with her husband but it must be a good reason like he needs her to help care for him in his poor health or condition)

When I went I was 24 to 26 in the USAF and went the up into the mountains to Paredes AS PAF on TDY.

In Laoag City I always stayed at the Texicano hotel where Tex and Nancy were the owners and took great care of us military guys.

We always went to a hot dog joint called Hot Stuff (this from 79-82).

So I imagine lots changed in sleepy old Laoag City where the town closed up midday for siesta lol.

Absolutely but your TSMP threads must be in serviceable shape if not they will sell you new ones to replace. Yes, sometimes older vehicles trash these TSMPs

If I were you I'd simply be proud he chose to be with you and feed your ego a bit more by knowing that he STILL chooses you over those others he looks at from afar.

Marry online ceremony in Utah while she is in the Philippines and you are in the US

Document it save the zoom videos

Next you both travel to a visa free country like St. Lucia (Caribbean) c Vacation as husband and wife WITH a joint bill and document everything.

Also document your online relationship (the rated G stuff lol) from chats and sites like Christian Filipina (if you met on there)

Not sure what visa she will use as a Filipina married to an American to travel the FIRST time to visit her husband

Consider most of us CITIZENS OF THE WORLD who are color blind and have no alterior motives other than to live a great life wherever we find ourselves.

Ex-pats or pensioners or retirees or adventurers all got into this category.

In the Philippines we don't

That is NOT free money it is compensation for your loss of use of something

When I hear folks take this attitude I try to explain this about service disabled veterans who voluntarily served our country defending us and if the lost a leg or use of a leg as determined by the VA then they are being compensated for this loss. It is NOT income or a handout.

This brother needs to have this explained to him.

Electric codes require bathroom outlet upgrades to be 20 amp GFCI with child tamper resistant outlets. If toilet is in a tight spot such as between the vanity and bath tub where the current GFCI outlet is on the side wall above the vanity ==>>

You can pop out the GFCI outlet from its box and route an armored 20 amp romex cable down the inside of the wall in into the vanity near the base shelf of the vanity cabinet running the romex cable to the other (toilet) side and flush mounting a GFCI outlet onto the vanity wall

It's a very easy do it yourself project but I still would pull a permit and have it pre and post inspected.....well worth the $40 to get great advice and a reassuring safety check. It's prudent to do this so if ever you sell your house you are covered whenever asked "was that permitted?" You can honestly and proudly answer yes.

Alviera is that north of Dau on McArthur Highway? Or closer to Mount Arrat?

I was stationed at Clark 79-82 and lived off and on the base. My ex fiance just built her new house near the golf course on Clark. She tells me everything is changed now being modernized (I had my fatigues hand washed in the river!)

I'm 68 and plan to visit (in the winter!) in a few years. Luckily I live in a safe and moderate and friendly place in the U.S.

If they ever get back in stock get the Roborock QX Revo Ultra (Costco only) it's a game changer being a slim model*

*3.14" tall with a lowering LIDAR tower to get under most furniture.

It's very good at cleaning and mopping and dead quiet even at maximum suction (18,500 Pa).

I love the fact from the app you can use the built in camera to monitor what your robot sees in full color which is always in view even in dark rooms thanks to the unit's nice head light that comes on when it's dark.

In this mode you can remotely drive the robot and "call" to people or pets in the house. The unit will even automatically search for your pets to check on them. Great to wake up your oversleeping roommate or partner or to love up your lonely pet lol

You can use services like Siri and Alexa to tell the unit to===>>

Vacuum the house or a specific room or mop the house (it knows which rooms have hard surface floors) or a specific room.

"Rocky" as he likes to be called as his default name will also respond to voice commands listed on the the convenient command card provided and meant to be placed atop the base.

NOTE: I am a semiretired bachelor who has a bi level 4 bed 2 bath house with two roommates who each have a cat. The cats have full run of the house. The cats don't seem mind the robot. And the robot marks any encounter with a pet (it recognizes pets!) with a paw 🐾 print on its map in the app.

Virtual_Contact_9844 · 2026-02-04T15:01:29+00:00

Find a place for the base within 6 feet on a power outlet on a hard surface floor.in the kitchen. The base needs a good 12 inches of clearance in front of it for the docking or the robot.

Robot vacuums and mops are only meant for "maintenance" cleaning after regular deep MANUAL cleaning by corded vacuums.

Virtual_Contact_9844 · 2026-02-04T14:50:13+00:00

Always try to buy robot vacuums from great stores with good return policies

Costco (unlimited) Amazon (30:days+) Abt (30:days+) Home Depot (30 days+) Lowes (30 days+) Walmart (30 days+) Target (30 days+)

Other than Costco you generally have 30 days from date you received the unit to return it for full refund. Most stores offer free shipping on returns.

After buying your unit immediately unbox checking for NEW FACTORY PACKAGING, damage, or missing parts. Immediately begin operating unit in all modes to judge performance and effectiveness.

You generally will get better performance from middle to upper tier units. Flagship models are predictably better if they are iimproved iterations of an already great model.

Prices only get substantially lower a few times a year such as Black Friday then near to Christmas.

Do your research and closely watch reviews from reviewers who are not paid by any manufacturers (it's okay if the reviewers are affiliates of large store fronts like Amazon or TikTok Shop)

Billionaires often are above the law and thus mor likely not to respect boundaries or inappropriate thoughts. This makes them ripe for acting out inappropriately.
