Y'know it's funny you should happen to mention nail-trimming, Steve.

As you've already found out, Filipinas are
very particular about their fingernails ... and, indeed, their toenails, too!! When I was in the Phils, a manicurist used to come along on a weekly basis to
do the
"needful" for the elderly relatives of Myrna's that we stayed with while awaiting her spouse visa. And with
me being regarded as part of the household,
mine were done as well ... all for just a few peso. Talk about being pampered! Up until
then ... all
I ever polished properly, were my "halo"

and, of course, my shoes!!
