    Aloha from Massachusetts

    Yah, I know haole's from Massachusettes don't have the best history in the islands. Hopefully I can do a very small bit to change that. Frequent visitor, trying to learn more about a place that I love more each time I visit so that I can hold on to a bit of the feeling while I'm away. Looking to hopefully make some friends, listen to some stories and occasionally tell a few.

    Anyway, Hi, I'm Bob.

Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."

    Hi, Bob! Welcome to HT. You live there, but can't spell "Massachusetts" correctly? Better move to Iowa.



    Oh - and aloha kakahiaka, Lynn!

        Skill at spelling is inversly proportional to intelligence - or at least that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

        Thanks for the welcome!

            Hi Bob:
            How are things in Taxachusetts these days? I lived in Beantown (Beacon Hill, Jamaica Plain & Brighton) for about 10 years. Sure do miss the Fall (but not the Winters) there!

                Thanks for all of the welcomes!

                We get the label Taxachusetts but you folk pay more in taxes then we do I was shocked talking to people on my last trip.

                Trees are turning and it's looking pretty but that just means hunker-down because winter's comin'.

                      Aloha Bob,

                      E komo mai! (Welcome!) I'm probably one of the very few people from Maine who loves Hawai'i Nei. It's great to see a Massachusetts haole on here! Please contact me. Would love to get to know you!

                      Do you know any Hawaiian? Random question, I know, but whatever! Hahaha!

                        Hi back ya little Maine-iac! lol

                        I know a dozen or so Hawaiian words - which makes me fluent compared to the average haole - but that's it. I'm learning more.
