by Turtle
So a recent blog got me to thinking……watch out as that can be somewhat scary.
I have had the pleasure of meeting many of you in person, and have grown to know who is calling me when I answer and hear some of the following….Turtle? Heya HO or what ya doin? But even for those that I think I know somewhat well, there’s always something that comes out in our postings that makes me go REALLY?
So I thought howz about a game of Truth~ Pick 5 of the following questions and answer them as truthfully as you can. There are more than 5, and if you care to answer all as I am about to that is entirely up to you~
1.) Your real name Susan
2.) Current Location Honolulu
3.) Ethnicity Scottish, Irish, English and Welch
4.) Most cherished possession (inanimate object) My father’s wedding band that I wear on my right hand.
5.) College Graduate? (If so what kind of degree) Nope
6.) Three jobs you have had in your life. Technical Chemist, Graphic Artist, Purchasing Manager. Still don’t know what I wanna be when I grow up.
7.) Marital Status? Currently Single, but looking~
8.) How would you describe yourself? Hmmm Loyal, intelligent, sometimes introverted, strong, adventurous, giving, sarcastic all wrapped in a Pillsbury doughboy façade.
9.) What does your screen name mean. Kahonu means The Turtle. It is derived from the Hawaiian name that was given to me. Kahonupaalani. I have many nicknames, but that is the one that is most commonly used.
10.) Do you remember your dreams? Yes and VIVIDLY. If I concentrate well enough I can usually either replay the dream or continue it the next evening. Comes in kinda handy sometimes. ;-)
11.) Do you collect anything? I seem to have acquired a lot of Turtles, not by my own purchase. People give them to me. I used to collect Ice Hockey Cards, and somewhere in my Mom’s house is a box that I am sure is worth a mint, as it has 5 Wayne Gretzky rookie cards, and two Michael Jordan rookie cards in it.
12.) Do Roman paramedics refer to IV’s as 4’s? ok I am just seeing if you are paying attention…lol
13.) What is the one thing you want me to know about you?
Ok Hooters…….have a stab at it. Feel free to ask me any question you like, you all get one freebie random question.

Iteach - here's the report.
pebbletech is all complete - it was a very interesting process - of which, I did not film - there were over 10 workers and I didn't want to violate their privacy - they take the pebble stuff and mix it up in some sort of concrete stuff and blow it into the hole - then smooth it all over the place - I thought we had gotten a different color - but it still has the film of the concrete stuff - that is why they will come and acid spray it today and we start filling it with water!!
:-)
so - there's the update!!
OH - and we had a MASSIVE storm last night - I happened to be walking around the yard trying to pick up after the dogs and i literaly got sucked into the ground - the scariest feeling every - I guess there was an air pocket from where they filled the trenches.......... it was like quicksand....... SO - i'll have to be letting them know about that..
:-)

Damn Tina!!! You beat me!!
I was gonna try and be first 5 day's in row...my own fault tho, I wasn't paying attention to the time!
Congrat's!
MEK, scary! glad you're ok!
Turtle...Very fun blog! I can't wait to read the responses. For some reason, you do not seem like a "Susan" to me, more like a "Suzanna" or something more complex and exotic. Maybe because I picture your life as being filled with wonderful people and meeting new ones all the time, all whilst (for Bonucci) listening to wonderful music in smokey (ok, that's probably not true) clubs.
Question 11...I seem to collect antique (or just old) unusual, catch your eye kind of stuff, but I have no favorite inanimate possession (#4). I don't have one because of a situation I found myself in several years ago. I had applied for SS Disability and they were making me jump through many, many hoops. It took two years to get approved. I had gone through all my savings and was becoming afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep up the house payments. So....I started selling stuff. The first thing I sold was a hand carved Grandmother clock that I purchased in Germany. I would never be able to replace it. I must admit that I shed a tear or two while packaging it, but it paid for the house for a couple of months. There were a few more things that were very difficult to part with, but after that those "things" that I had considered so dear to me just became "stuff". There wasn't anything that I wouldn't part with to survive.
Whew all that for 2 questions...

real name....Joan
Current Location..Indiana

How would you describe yourself?... Controlling, Kind, Fair, Honest, Chatty, Gassy, Spifffy, Caffeine and Nicotine addict, and my heart is the biggest thing that I own.. :O)
What does your screen name mean. cpgem8.. cp are my initials, gem is the first three letters of my business's name, 8 is my fav number.. night.owls.sb.. The original nesters seemed to love to blog at night.. hence night owls.. sb is for sac barb, as she thought of night owls.
Do you remember your dreams? Sometimes I do... they usually have do with what occurred within the last few days.. I love picking apart dreams and trying to figure out why someone dreamt what they did.. I do not have recurring dreams.
Do you collect anything?... I used to collect beanie babies.. I actually still have all of them.. I still buy one every now and again, and I love getting them as gifts, I think they are so cute..
Do Roman paramedics refer to IV’s as 4’s?... yes I think they do, this was something I learned in kindergarten and have never forgotten, thank goodness for
Catholic School.. lol
What is the one thing you want me to know about you? I am stumbling with this question, for some reason I can't figure out a answer. I will have to ponder it some more..
Good Morning Hooters!

Good Morning All - Be back in ten minutes.
iteach~
I came here for the 2nd time on vacation in 93. I met my ex partner on the 2nd day of my 5 week trip (it was also a business trip). I was actually pondering the thought of moving to England at the time as the company I worked for at that time was British owned. That 5 week trip turned into an almost 7 week trip and when I returned to Chicago I quit my job, sold all of my stuff, and was back here in Hawaii within 3 months.
Goldie:
Not a damn thing~
1. Audrey
2. Victoria
3. Irish, English, Scottish
4. A china jug that was my fathers when he was a little boy. They had hot cocoa in it every morning. It was one of the few possessions of his family that survived the Halifax explosion in 1912. To me it is priceless.
5. University graduate - B.Ed majoring in English and Early Childhood education.
6. First job was with the horse drawn carriages. We would take pictures of them every hour, develop the pictures then jump on the rigs and sell them for $1:00 each. I loved that job. The second job I had was working in a drug store and hated every minute of it. Then I was a teacher for almost 40 years, a job I adored.
7. I think on Facebook it's called 'complicated'. I am once more with the father of our children, loving every minute of it.
8. loyal, intelligent, empathetic, kind. Oh God, I don't know what else. Childlike I guess.
9. Tinka comes from the movie "Raising Helen". Remember the line "Tinka, everyone knows Tinka"? I loved it. Tia is my youngest dog's name.
10. I rarely remember my dreams. If I do they are usually upsetting. I am happy not to remember them.
11. I collect dolls, bears, Elvis paraphernalia, Hummels, spoons from different places.
12. No they don't. LOL
13. Why you were never a teacher. You give such good assignments. I am glad mine is finished.
I am rushing off shopping. Then a nap and then going to my daughter's for her birthday party. I will be back tomorrow. Have a great day everyone. Love, Tinka
Good afternoon everyone!
Tina congrats on 1st! I can't believe you were up this morning!
Mary/Mich~ a two-fer, My name is Mary and I live in Michigan, right in the middle of the state.
I am Mexican American, born in Mich. As all of my 6 siblings.
I am married to Mr Mary lol!
I describe myself as once terribly shy and feelings of inadequacy. I have blossomed into a kookie,happy, mostly glass full,short,chunky,& happily retired gal!
My fave possession would be a large hand painted sign of a wing-back shoe that my Father had hanging in his store window. I have the pick on myspace.
Turtle~ Question...Do you see yourself at your currant job 10 yrs from now?
You can ask me one too :)
mary:
If I had my way no (I would love to play cards for a living)....but the more accurate answer would be probably yes. I don't hate my job, but I don't love it either. I see it as a way to pay my bills and allow me to live here in the islands that I love.
Mary good idea, I didn't even think of that one.
Ms. Turtle you can ask me a question too.
Kgirl, when I win my Lottery millions or I can cash that check from my Nigerian friend I will gladly back your Poker endeavors :)

12. LOL.....WTC!!!
13. What is your favorite flavor of Jolly Ranchers?
*feel free to ask me anything!!!
My favorite Jolly Rancher flavor is the clear one, which I think is pineapple. They don't have a rasberry flavor...bwahahahaha
Oh and Jodi #13 was supposed to be the one thing that you want me to know about you.....lol.
Come on now, we all know your not shy~
TURTLE - I think the clear one you're thinking about is Lifesavers....ijs!!!
13. I'm really a shy, but loyal broad that has a great rack!!
Actually now that you said that, I was thinking of "Charms", at least I think that is what they are called. So I guess my favorite Jolly Rancher would be watermelon.
I am gonna post a funny craigslist "BestOf" that I saw a while back on Jolly Ranchers. It still makes me laugh~
Dear Makers of Jolly Ranchers,
I just thought you should know that nobody (NOBODY) ever eats any of the blue raspberry flavored Jolly Ranchers from the candy dish on our reception counter in our office. EVER. When it's time to re-fill the candy dish, there are always those ugly nonappetizing blue raspberry fuckers all abandoned at the bottom of the dish.
I have my opinions on why this phenomenon occurs. For one, that color should not be associated with food. It was really a bad idea. That flavor just screws up the whole assorted flavors bag and I was just wondering if perhaps there is a group of blue raspberry advocates somewhere that have convinced you to continue to make these?
I have been the candy bitch here for going on two years and I am just at a loss. What do I do with all these neglected, disgusting, blue raspberry Jolly Ranchers? I almost want to send them back to you, so that you can send them on to the blue raspberry fan club. I used to gather them up sadly from the bottom of the dish and put them aside in this other cup. I don't like to be wasteful. Now I simply throw them away as soon as they come tumbling out of the bag into the candy dish.
Quite frankly, I have never even tasted one of these things. They could taste awesome! Aside from the fact that nobody has ever HEARD of a blue raspberry, I'm sure they taste quite good. I just can't bring myself to put that radioactive nuclear flourescent unnatural color into my mouth. I'm pretty sure my teeth and gums would probably be stained blue.
I think at the very least, you should consider changing the color of the blue raspberry Jolly Rancher. Maybe just eliminate the blue part altogether. By the way, what's wrong with good ole plain raspberry? Now that's a good flavor. I know you already have cherry and watermelon flavors hogging up the red category, but surely you could come up with something.
To be honest, the bright neon blue color really fucks up the feng shui of my candy dish, with its appetizing array of purple, green, red and red Jolly Ranchers, co-mingling with the ever-popular Reese's PB cups, Hershey's miniatures and Hershey's Nut Lovers miniatures. The Twix and the M&Ms hardly ever stay in the dish long enough to look pretty, but that is to be expected. Fed Ex delivery folks and office visitors of all ilk pounce on those like they are hundred dollar bills. On a completely unrelated note, perhaps it's time for me to start looking for a more exciting job.
Thank you for your time. And remember, nobody wants to eat flourescent blue candy.
Sincerely,
The Receptionist
TURTLE - Luv the letter!! That receptionist could send all those blue jolly ranchers to my house....the boys LOVE them!!
My favorite is GRAPE!!!
Send me the blue ones! LOL at the letter. I am the candy bitch at this office, and only stuff I don't like makes it in the dish. :)
Hey you with the great rack- i don't have my cell on, the answering machine is turned off at home and I am going to get my 12 hairs cut. Call me tomorrow at work and let me know what you decide. :)

Did you see this morning on Good Morning America, Robin was interviewing Jillian and ED from the Bachelorette. Supposedly he was seeing 2 other women during and after filming of the show (and after the engagement).
Of course Jillian laughed it off and said they (the 2 women)were just making it all up. Even when there were pictures showing him with these 2 women.
EBJ that is a good question for Turtle.

I must admit, I am over the moon excited for you... The pool is going to be fab and I am quite sure you and Mr Mek will get plenty of use out of it.. It was certainly a good decision, I can't wait to see it when its all done..
Kudos!
iteach..
What a catchy name.. Octopus Car Wash!
I am very glad the two journalists were pardoned.. I am also glad Bill Clinton was the person to be there for there release. He presents himself very well.. and I remember in the Bill Clinton days, our lives seemed easier less stressful.. so I commend him for stepping up..
I did not like that Lisa Ling was allowed on the plane when others were waiting for the plane to pull into the hanger. I don't quite understand why she was the only family member to do so.. Lee's husband and daughter were there, but they had to wait.. So I can only think it was done because of her celebrity status, which makes me furious.. Celebrities are given way to much.. it gets my goat..
I'm a little late to this party, but I want to play along....
1) Real name Tracy.
2) Current location, California
3) Ethnicity, mutt
4) Most cherished posession, a worry stone my grandfather gave me when I was 11.
5) College Degree? Yes.Computer Science/minor Mechanical Eng.
6) Three jobs: Burger King, Model/Actress (yes, one of those) and aerospace engineer.
7) Marital status: Married in So. America but not recognized in thr States, Common law, I guess.
8) Describe myself? Sarcastic, good sense of humor, prefer to spend time alone because it happens so rarely. Kind-hearted and non-judgemental. Straight, but open-minded.
9)My screen name is for Leonardo Pisano Fibonacci.
10) & 11) I don't remember my dreams and I don't collect anything.
12) I'm paying attention... IV is the roman numeral for 4. Romans, as well as all Italians call IV's either "IV", "EV", or the proper name, "endovenoso".
13) The one thing I want you to know about me is that I think you're one hell of a lady and I hold a high degree of respect for you.
Now I'll go read what other's have to say....
In upstate NY..there was a terrible accident last week.. a woman driving a mini van with her children and her nieces was driving the wrong way on a major highway.. She slammed into a car killing all three in that car and only one of her children survived...
At first everyone was confused as what happen.. did she have a stroke? did she black out? etc, etc, etc..
Today the toxicology (sp) reports showed she was way over the legal limit for alcohol and she also had pot in her system.. both of these were "fresh" (not sure what other word to use) in her system.. And they released today that there was a empty bottle of vodka in the car..
This story broke my heart.. This woman killed 7 ppl plus herself because of her addiction.. She had no regard for human life. I can't even imagine what the surviving
families are going thru..
Sad!

2.) Current Location Louisville, Flash Flood, Kentucky

10.) Do you remember your dreams? Sometimes
11.) Do you collect anything? I collect poetry books..small ones that are all the same....very cute.
12.) Do Roman paramedics refer to IV’s as 4’s?I believe I do not know the answer to that question.
13.) What is the one thing you want me to know about you? That I am determined.
K-girl: How long have you lived in Hawaii? Do you ever get island fever?
Oh, cool..111 I am going to make a wish!
Scrish; Thanks for the "whilst"! It's appreciated!
HA! I think bonacci got number 12 right.. very impressive..
:O)
Carol: Really sad. I read that today too. Also, about the guy that shot up the people in the gym. I go to the Y all the time, and actually, I have thought of that when I was out in the gym working out. I am paranoid like that.
Bebbi.. I did not know that about your screen name.. Fun!
scrishy: your post is so true. Those things mean a lot to me but you have to do what you have to do. Hugs.
Yes Bebbi.. I saw that too.. and read the guys blog.. all the internet news channel have it on their sites.. you can tell from every word he wrote that he was def not wrapped to tight.. So very scary..
Yep, sometimes he calls me Bebberlee too. But he has always written Bebbi in cards and stuff.
Tina.. I forgot.. Happy 1
Carol: I found it extremely scary that he looked so "normal"..and he was really very handsome. Why couldn't he get a girlfriend? How could he work a job and that not show? Why do they always call those types of people "loners"? Who isn't a loner sometimes? I noticed most of the women were my age. Hank said that his ex-girlfriend was in the class..did you read that? How could he have "chickened out" and been posting all that stuff on the internet and no one even noticed! Omg.
I just got home from Cara's birthday party. It was a great success. I am tired and heading for bed. I enjoyed reading everyone's comments today.
Carol - That is so sad.
K-girl - Great blog. Thanks
Zona - Call me in the morning.
Love to all. Tinka

♥♥♥
J/L: LOL at Tina-in-Utero..too funny!
Tina in Utero: Congrats on Numero Uno.
Tinkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk...sleep well! Glad you are on FB! and glad the party was a success. HUGS!
Bebbi..
Lots of sick killers look normal.. Scott Peterson for one, and he certainly is a killer..
Nite Tinka.. sleep well...
Tinka..
Oh yes, I forgot.. glad the party
went well..
True, Carol, very true. It just makes me wonder, what goes wrong? Why do they turn into that? They say there were NO CLUES?? whhatt...he wrote a blog on the internet...why couldn't have someone spoke up..if they read it. Someone had to have an idea. or something.
Bebbi...
Its on niteline now..
Kgrl; I have 2 questions.... When did you realize you preferred women over men, and are you a native Hawaiian, or are you an import? I guess this is #3: If you're an import, how did you go about relocating?
Bonacci..
The 2nd and 3rd part of your question can be found in a comment from Turtle to iteach @ 12:29p..
Bebbi..
The niteline is just saying what everyone has said to today.. he was a reclusive, and angry at woman as he never meant the right one, so he blamed all women.. Sick and Scary...
I hope I didn't miss it or that Mr. Bebbi will let me change the channel..haha
going to the living room to watch tv. Talk to you all tomorrow. HUGS!
You all are watching the real world unfold.....and I'm watching "shark week" on the Discovery channel~ hmmmmmm~
Bonacci~ You have ms mail~
Goodnight Bebbi~
Carol, I hadn't heard that about the Woman in the van. I was hoping that wasn't the reason. It just drives me crazy to think so many died for such a stupid reason!!! Why why why????
Bonacci:
I have always "known". As far back as I can remember. To be honest I fought it thru Jr. High and HS, but I was never physically attracted to men. I tried to please my parents and family by dating men, but it felt so so so not right to me.
So to answer you question I think I fully understood it for myself at about the age of 7 or 8.
Born and raised in Illinois just outside of Chicago.
My ex partner was Hawaiian. Does that count?
Mary My hair was curled using rags, too. : )
I know Mary.. senseless and stupid..
I am off to bed..
Tired..
:O)
Nite sweet Carol!
Tina; I replied in MS mail. Feel free to share with others!
Carol, I responded to the blog before reading the comments. My apologies for being redundant. Chalk it up to the drugs which by the way, have been very helpful.
Kgrl; There is a method to my madness... I suspect that my daughter is a lesbian, but she cannot or will not come to terms with it. She doesn't date, and her "church" forbids homosexuality, so I can only imagine the turmoil she's feeling. Any advice you have in terms of letting her know it's okay without being abrupt about the whole subject? I really want her to be happy and proud of who she is.
hmmm.... do you want to have this discussion in an open forum or would you rather do it over myspace?
