What a magnificent job she has done! *applause* We hate to see Lois step down as Editor, but we understand she is ready for a well earned, well deserved rest from these duties. Those stepping up to bat in her stead have huge shoes to fill and will no doubt be bothering her to pieces for help in the coming days! Lois, you are one of the brightest stars in our little slice of cyber space, and we appreciate you! Chattie

Aloha from BEING & Blu_Star on the Big Island of Hawaii!!! We would like to take this opportunity to inform our friends on StarLink-IRC what we've been doing, and why we are not here like we used to be. We should soon be in a more stable situation where we will be on line more often than not. Just like before! *smiles* (we can hardly wait!) As most of our friends know, we moved to Hawaii together about 1 1/2 years ago. All is well, and going pretty good here. BEING had my daughter get down on one knee and ask me to marry him. Gotta do what ya gotta do when you don't have knee's of your own - Right?! Anyway we don't have any dates set other than the 19th, and we have no ideas or plans on how, when or where....so any ideas - suggestions are welcome! We want to be unique and creative! BEING and I went for a boat ride in Kohala, Hawaii (North) to see the hump back whales, they come here to Hawaii every year to give birth and mate, now they are on their way to Alaska to spend the summer. Our whale season here is from January and April. They were really active! It was awesome to see them jump out of the water. They are HUGE!!!! I put together a few pictures from that day, and a couple others near that time frame.... http://www.yourhawaiiandreams.com/Pics/index.html We have a view of the ocean from the lanai (deck) , for the time being, because our friend has this house for sale. Since our condo got sold out from underneath us, we decided to rent this house until it sold, perhaps by then we may be ready to buy our own house! *fingers crossed* The real estate agent is pretty nice, he even put our pictures in there.. LOL Its really an awesome place if anyone is interested! (She will take less, there still needs to be a little work done) BEING had a small victory with the VA this week, they finally found him to be 100% unemployable! Now the tough fight - we get them to admit that there was NO way he could have passed their physical and went through boot camp with crushed knee caps and follow the remand he received years ago! =) But we wont give up! This is where we fight every day http://www.veteranshelp.com. This is his personal site for now http://www.bigislandweb.com/vet/ I'm so glad that they are starting to treat the new Veterans A LOT better than they did the older ones! I (Blu_Star) started a couple businesses. Its been slow going, but I am starting to get some pretty serious clients. Watching Fauna go from a little girl to a teenager certainly has been "fun" She is active in Volley ball and Basket Ball, so she has adjusted to the move well. I don't really have a web site up yet, but its coming. I have a link on BEING's favorite links, but its just something I was working on that I had to put on the back burner. But I have a few things up my sleeve, and maybe next month surprise everyone with a more personal site. But for now my project has been http://www.BigIslandWeb.com, and most of it isn't even up there yet. I don't like to put things up until they are done, or at least close to done. If anyone wants to check out BEING's favorite links, he has them at http://www.BEINGnHawaii.com He has lots, and will probably add more in the near future. So this is where we are at, and what we are doing, and why we are not on as much as we used to be. Time differences has killed us for some things, and starting over has been quite an adventure for all of us. Hawaii is a wonderful place, and we are all really glad that we have had the opportunity to live here, and experience the things we have. There is nothing like swimming with giant sea turtles, and schools of fish that are just as curious about you, as you are about them! Aloha!!! BEING & Blu_Star.
Here we are again, in the first of the girl months (april, may, june, and julie) .. [ On the bad news side, those who follow the antics of Chuck (my cat) will be sad to hear that he passed away (euthanasia) after a heart attack on Apr 17th at the age of 14. His sister (Weasel) is still around though, so that helps. ] On the lighter side its really tough topping the Iraqi Information Minister .. or the Dixie Chicks .. or hollywood in general. Hmm... maybe he has a great future in hollywood where being disconnected from reality is a job requirement. That or maybe IMI product sales manager.. but I digresss.... Back in Feb, scorp was sleeping in walmart parking lots throughout the southeast US and even went to visit our favorite florida dragon creature. Don't ask. I did. I was sorry. So just don't. If you ask these people 'why' they tell you and then your head hurts. Speaking of .. Amazing is done recarpeting and rewallpapering the house... and no major damage to the extremities. This, if you have followed the follies regularly, is obviously a miracle. Have a springy spring and see you next issue ! All profits go to .. hey, wait.. they go to cafepress. We dont't get a dime! Who set THIS deal up??? Oh. Wait. That was me. n/m ^H^H^H^H^H^

Heaven On-Line There's a land where I go when I need to share. A land without faces. A curious place There's all sorts of people with cute little names Some are just snobs and some are real fun. But both good and bad they all play a role. We talk and laugh and wonder why We can't be heard and can't be seen. But all in all the most curious part To share with a stranger those things we've concealed.
