some months back, my half Korean boyfriend calls just when I am in the back yard trying to figure out where one of my dogs is. He asks me what I am doing and I answer that I am looking for my dog. he says "uh-oh, you haven't had any Korean families move into the neighborhood lately, have you?" I don't think he offended himself

thanks Karen, I like you too.
btw, in Hawaii it's the filipinos who are considered the ones who eat dog (they say that black dog is a delicacy), I haven't heard jokes about koreans eating dog although I read that they do. A year or two ago a couple of guys got convicted, a golfer took his dogs to the course and tied the dogs up when he played 9 holes. when he came back the dogs were gone. someone identified one of the filipino people taking the dogs and when he was interrogated he said that he ate em. It is in their culture to eat dogs, although us americans cringe at the thought. Just FYI and sorry for being off track from the primary posting.
thanks indiana for your kind words too. I think many like the hawaiians because of their "aloha" spirit. Most of us are more laid back (hang loose) and have a "whatever" attitude about things. when you do get them mad watch out though, it could get explosive.
Me? I was born in chicago and live there for my first 6 years. Guess I got indoctrinated in the hawaiian culture but some of the less laid back attitudes are still with me (angry american, lol).
Many hawaii people envy the las vegas people. we have no legalized gambling in our state and have to get on the plane to go over 5000 miles to get our gambling fix. No lotteries or any type of gambling functions, heck they are even killing any gambling at bingo. That's why Boyd catered to the hawaii people so much, you have a whole state looking to take their gambling money someplace.
chik, love your new avatar. did you create it yourself or did you find it on another site? I was just wondering, sometimes I want to use that as an avatar, especially when I have a losing trip. Also sorry about ragging on you, I will get off my soap box now, enough was said and nothing else needs to be said.
