yah Dave still saying "it's a dry heat" these days???

or are ya getting any of this god - awful humidity we are?
today was 101 and the humidity was so high it took my freshly showered body all of 7 steps out the door to soak my blouse completely - not kidding - I did not make it to my car before my mascara was running down my face! even the die-hard Sacramentens stayed away from the State Fair!!!

ALOHA PEKA!

Ted did not mean you. I wrote to him about someone who was making post after post in ALL the threads - sometimes 3 or 4 consecutive posts in each thread with nothing but a smiley in them or nonsensical stuff - especially the old threads. All of sudden my email was inundated with post notifications - one in particular was the MUSTDO Boards are Down! Really gave me a scare - but eventually I heard from Steve H. saying it wasn't true and these annoying "empty posts" were being made all over" all week long.... no wonder I got 22 emails from here! this person was a member for about 8 months or so then all of a sudden starts posting like crazy - yet saying nothing! It looked like SPAM - either that or someone trying to rack up points..... others agreed that it was annoying, spiteful and wrong to mislead the members - so I wrote to Ted and he took care of it - swiftly! He had already sort of noticed it himself - that could be why they said they were going to stop giving points out on threads like this one. But
as you can see that hasn't happened yet. So from now on just make sure you are coming in this thread to say something.

The travel agent sounds like FUN.

Joni, you got it correct.

[msutton8]

Hola Peka: It's going good, kids are back in school. My fridays are mine again

Joni: It's 103 today but a chance of low 90's with rain this coming weekend

[mystical pippin]

Thanks Melissa! I've always had a thing for dolphins - when I was six my parents took me to the set where they filmed "Flipper". In Islamorada, Fl. I got to pet the "flipper" they had there at the time. (I think there were only two but not sure)
My dream would be to swim with wild dolphins in Greece. Hey - maybe when I win the lottery you can book my trip!

[VegasKawika]

It will happen!

[mystical pippin]

Ok Cool! I believe you Dave because the last time you said that to me it actually DID happen!!

Hola Peka! Tourist numbers are down but they deals from casinos for not only tourist but also us locals is great.

[VegasKawika]

Peka, you need to add a "Countdown" icon to your pages

[Steve]

How neat. My wifes broher lives at Cape Canaveral and they throw a party on the roof of their building when there is a space shot. I think it is really super that you are going to see it, and the last one, too. Right on

[VegasKawika]

That will truly be a historic launch

[VegasKawika]

An ex-coworker of mine had some really cool video of a previous launch. I couldn't believe how loud it was and he was a couple miles across from the launch.

[msutton8]

WOW - finally over 10,000 points - time to do some shopping!!

Melissa

[msutton8]

What do any of you spend your points on? There dont seem to be many things other than logo wear that you can actually get with points unless you're going to HI and can purchase dining & such. I'm not going back to HI any time soon (unfortunately) and want to know what I can spend my points on?

Melissa

[Steve]

You said it Melissa=What the store has and then what is available in the drawings. Coffee, nuts, those you can win. I usually have a few chances on coffee, tote bags, ets.

[msutton8]

Well I'm having a luau in January for my birthday, maybe I'll get a bunch of logo stuff to have as party favors?

Doubt hawaii.com will let me save up my points for 4 years so I can get dinners and such on my next trip? right?

Melissa

[brisgae1]

We need something good to spend them on.
