Be safe in all of that.


Of course it snows in Hawaii - you do know there is at least one ski club...

Last time I was in Hawaii, was 31 years ago (suddenly I feel old!). The few things I remember had nothing to do with snow. I do remember this kind Japanese couple giving me and my folks the first taste of sake. That was an experience at 6.



Do you still drink it to this day?

Thanks, Aloha. Don't have to adjust the meds after all. smile



Only adjust them if you want to.

Yeah, I believe the Governor declared a state of emergency and I think we (the state) will be getting Federal aid. I wonder if I can apply for an $800 billion bail out. For that kind of money, I will find water to bail out.

" I wonder if I can apply for an $800 billion bail out."

Thus far it seems that applicants have to have made incredibly bad decisions with far-reaching disastrous consequences. You'll never qualify.

Hell NO. That stuff BURNED ! ! !

If I had been older (maybe even 8 or 9) I might have done better, but at 6 it was a shock! I guess I thought it would be like warm soda pop when they handed it to me, and shot it down.

It is just easier for me not to drink much, less to worry about. I have some phenomenal alcoholics in the family and don't want to risk it.


Stay safe man, water is the most powerful force mother nature can throw at ya' and all that.

I would love to sign up for the package, but wouldn't be able to hurt someone in the process to get it. You think they'd give me the $800 billion or even the seven digit severance pay if I just slapped myself around a little bit?

Hey, I have a great idea...how about if the money comes from all these people enriching themselves at our expense? That I could do. Kind of Robin Hoodish.
