hahaha! All this time . . . I didn't know they had dogs on Hawaii . . . go figure eh?

Glad your daughter is getting smarter and hope she does better with the snot thing.

Was trying to explain to my wife just now about how I met you . . . but then I realized . . . I don't have a wife. That was kind of embarrassing. The roommate will have fun with that one for a while.

Response from Kimiyo:

And now, I've heard it all. No dogs in Hawaii. Hmm... did you know that Filipino's (natives of the Philippines) eat dog stew? For real. Actually, we used to have a very strict policy about bringing dogs into Hawaii because Rabies do not exist in Hawaii . . . yet. They have just approved a policy for dogs to just pass certain medical tests and quarantine is lessened to 3 - 5 days from the original 30 - 90 days.

Btw, my grass shack has a bad leak from all the recent rain we've had. My hula skirt however, is bright and green, and starbucks coffee only charges us $9.49 for each cup of coffee now. What an improvement! Oh and I better send my hubby back to the sea to catch more fish so we have food on our rocks, i mean plates, and I'll go climb the coconut tree in the back for fruity nutrition. I had to stand in this long line today to get the use of this computer -- the chief said we all have to take turns and have an equal amount of time on the village computer. I've only got three minutes left, and the guy behind me is starting to chant his raindance song again.

Now for the long hike home -- it's too bad we don't have enough space on this island for cars!
