I knew they weren't real HOOTER girls for several obvious reasons. Plus I saw their shirts. Also I know a clean cut guy like you wouldn't be caught in a HOOTERS club! Come to think of it I've never been caught in one either!
Black, you'll pull through. I think everyone has been in some of mess where it's almost imposible not to get to the point of snapping because you feel trapped, I sure f******* have! You'll hang in and you and family will be home to a fresh start and all the BS will be behind you. Vent if you need, don't hold it all in.
I feel like I've missed something...you've been cranky??? I got to go see what the heck you've done :confused: It sounds like your life in the Phillippines is awful and you have every right to protect your family. Sometimes it takes going through these types of things to help you understand that the grass isn't always greener. You'll be home before you know it and if your all going to Hooters, I've never been either. I hear the food is really good. Hang in there Scott, please don't go, have you seem some of the mugs on these guys...you little cutie!
Actually the food is good at H(.)(.)TERS......from what I've been told! This is not an indorcement or suggestion to eat or shop there.
How long have you been away from the states? I was in the Army for 10 years and spent 7 in Germany - 4 in Berlin when the wall was up and 3 in Frankfurt. I didn't go back to the states for almost 4 years and it was quite a change from being in Europe. How did you get to the Phillipines?
Funny, Its been a while, I have been to Hooters a few times, but I don't remember food being there. My other memories of the place are crystal clear. I can even remember what our waitress looked like last time I was there. So it will be easier to find later in a search, can the title of this thread be changed to "Hooters"?
We've given Scott enough to read to take his mind off his problems for awhile. It's gotta be rough but we can pull him through this. Jim, we only went there for the hot wings and beer. Were there girls there? I remember lots of TV's and sports. Really good sports! We now live within 150 miles of where the original Hooters was. They recently tore it down to build a museum and bigger restaurant to serve bigger wings and burgers! Seems like old guys like wings and burgers! I'd rather go to Burger King but my wife forces me to eat Hooters wings.
You guys(and our gal) are great, you put a smile on my face and touched my heart with your comments. @Cat, I couldn't agree more, I have many times spent a good long time typing things out and then sit back and read it, then delete. It helps, it really does. But what I have wrote had no place being posted on a public site like this. @Fannie, my dear, I think you need some glasses, calling me little like that, I'm 6 foot 192lbs. As for the cutie, well, what can I say, when you got it flaunt it, I just wish I had it to flaunt! hahahaha. @Jrwscout I have been here since June. My wife is Filipino, I met her here in 2003 on vacation, I was lookin to come here and be a bad boy, but my 2nd day here, i met her working in a cell phone shop, where I stopped to buy a phone to use while here. and was inlove at first site. I asked her to go on a date with me and she smiled and refused. I knew she was a keeper, because 99.9% of them would jump at the chance to be with a foreigner. 4 trips back to the store in the next 4 days and she finally gave in. She is the only filipnio woman I have ever been with. even tho I came with the intentions of being with them all. I came back 2 more times in that year to see her, my last trip here was December 03-January 04 and that is when I proposed to her and we started her paperwork. I left January 27th and she landed in Detroit on August 27th. It took her 2 weeks to realize she did not like living in the states. It was to bi of a change. So we had the chance to move back here, and I admit, our marriage was falling apart ecause she was not happy in the states. So we did. Then our marriage did fall apart while here and this time it was because of me not being happy. So the last couple months, things for us have been shaky. She surprised me a during the holdiays and said she wants to go home. We were visiting her dad for the holidays and were planning to come back to our house that Sunday. I thought she ment to our house, so I replied that we will be home on Sunday, she said no, I want to go home, to New York. I was floored. She was not happy there and she called my home, HOME. Well thats when I realized that even she is not happy here. She says things have gotten really bad here since 04 and this is no place for our kids to grow up. You guys are great, I am honored to call you all friends and family. I do not know most of you well, or some of you at all. But we are still family. Some of you new faces, have fit right into my close family, just by being who you are. Fannie, X, Cat & Dewey, You 4 come to mind the fastest when I think of the closeness of the old gang, you are all my dear friends who have always laughed or commented on my stupidness with a light hearted comment and some humor. I have taken my absences due to life, but i am always drawn right back in again. Bless you all, as much as I am bless with you. Love you guys and thanks! Now, show me some H(.)(.)TERS :banana:
A few hooters of different shapes and sizes. Both of my sons are over 6'2 and one is 200 lber and they will always be my little cuties! But not in the sense of being small.
Scotty....its the rules of the road If you play your stereo tooo loud...im allowed to tell you to turn it down... and versa visa We dont have to see things equal...just as long as we can debate the issue...then were cool now get home so i can send someone to kick yur arse....
I'm comin old man, I am comin. Mid to late March, come on over and have a swing at it yourself. I will bend over, coz I deserve it for being stupid enough to leave in the first place.
Hang in there Scott, this is the place to feel at home and at home you can stomp around the house, yell at the dogs, crank up the tunes and play air guitar in your undies. In the end the dust settles and you sit down with a beer and a cigarette and shoot the sh#t again and no one even remembers what you were mad or sad about to begin with, just glad you're still here.
Two posts I want to see on this site----well three! Xavier owning a hearse or station wagon Scott and his family coming back to the States Me winning the lotto big time and buying every wagon and old car I can dream of. Do I have to buy a lotto ticket to win? Never have yet. Maybe that's why I'm such a big loser!
