Well I can tell from your comments that you are not locals by any stretch of the imagination. Only "Wannabees". Or you are so disconnected by your jobs that you cant slow down and enjoy the company of many local wahines that I have been blessed to talk to. There are older wise women too that I have met around Big Island, under "magical" circumstances. ( and Not paki. ) They have shared this wisdom and no they were not under paki, either. And contrary to any popular belief " I dont smoke anything and never have because I know from watching others, what "grand" things it does to their minds.

Yeah, I'm retired (not disconnected by my job) and have lived here nearly three years. While that makes me a newcomer, I'm NOT a "Wannabee".

Can't we have have a discussion without getting into name calling? A fine "Administrator" you'd make!

Maybe MD meant "Pake"? Like, the magical circumstance of being broke?

Anyway, it is now confirmed, we have someone in our midst who is either (1) constantly under the influence of a magical circumstance, or (2) a troll. Maybe both.

I'm not sure about #1, but most DEFINITELY #2. The person has added nothing of value to this forum since joining it.
