With you there, Matapule.

Saying 'My country right or wrong' is like saying 'My mother, drunk or sober.'

The Escape Plan Set in the 50s and 60s.

Mahalo, Kimo!

Sounds like Palehua is open again. It's a fascinating place. We used to trail ride up there, as kids.

Aloha, Kaonohi!

I've just spoken to a friend of Susie's who talked to her on the phone a week ago. He said she is fine, but still without her computer.

Interestingly, he also said he'd...

There's a beautiful trail in the southern Waianae range, going up Palehua to Palikea. The Nature Conservancy used to manage it, but I believe it's been handed over to the state.

There are a...

Oh, thank you, Lynn!

I guess then they don't require any certification that you're free to marry, or any kind like that? She'll come with her birth certificate...she even has a long form one... ...

My daughter is planning to get married in Hawaii this summer.

We live in the UK, and she's been unable to get definite information about what documents she needs to have in order to get a...

Yeah, that was cool. It's really refreshing when might and right line up together!

He was a good and gentle soul as well. A friend of mine testifies that Mosi defended him against homophobic bullying at school - given the culture at the time, that was really something, not many...

Thanks eh, Craig! Chicken of the Sea all the way.

Matapule, TurtleGirl - Aw, gee, thanks (shuffles feet)

It was beautiful this side of the world too - I saw it rising over a hill as I drove home from work, and it looked enormous. And the sky was clear all night. We had a hard frost this morning.

I'll put my vote with Father Damien.

As a Christian, I draw my faith from the Jesus I see in the gospels (the one who preferred tax collectors, prostitutes and other public sinners to the...

I've sent a letter to his relatives, giving them the link to this thread, c/o the funeral services company mentioned. I hope it makes it, as he seems to have travelled under a few nommes de plumes. ...

This is so sad.

As I am in Liverpool, I will see if the undertakers named in the obituary are able to pass on a message to his family, who I'm sure will bevery moved by all your tributes. It...

There's the song 'Sanoe' as well. The Cazimeros translate it as 'mist' - which I think ordinarily would be 'noe'?

T is another letter not often written, but heard in oli.

OK, I'm going on holiday for 3 weeks, so I've packed War and Peace. We'll see...

Barry, are these slim sophisticated English pancakes like my husband makes, not all that far from crepes? Or real American pancakes, pillowy and half an inch thick?

When we're in Ireland, we pick...

The colors in Hawaii are definitely deeper, more saturated. And there's a difference between where we are, in the north of England, and the mediterranean colors Susie enjoys. Somebody pointed out...

Amazing. And riding always seemed such a minority thing, on the island!

This answered some of my questions about why health care is so expensive in the US:

It's an interview with Maggie...

I'm no wiser, but I'm very impressed.;)

Does this mean there are millions of people who are currently NOT getting health care? Or am I missing something here?

That's the most depressing thing I've read in a long time.

I don't understand where the money goes. Does anyone?

The fact that they have this money to throw around shows that the American public are paying WAY over the actual costs for their meds and treatment. The words 'socialised medicine' are used as a...
