Didja miss me ?
as of late I've been finding myself posting a little more for the first time in years .
it's been a long strange crazy trip but I seem to be back .
I'm living in Hawaii now on a Kona Coffee farm . It's a huge change from the hustle and bustle
of the Bay Area . HUGE .. I guess I'm a country girl at heart because I love my new life here .
The very slow life here suits me .
Yes I was one of the people who got the fake "Incoming missile Launch" alert .. here there are no basements and the
nearest bomb shelter is 45 minutes away . so My family just stood in a hug for what seemed like forever.
I live on the big island so we've had some excitement with big quakes and a volcanic eruption for 6 months . It really affected
all people on the island as tourism dropped companies went under. The air was just awful causing lifelong residents
to move off island ..
I know DU has many new faces and I'm eager to get to know you .. to all my friends here it's been too long I know
but the healing I needed I got ..
so howsit DU ?
= new reply since forum marked as read
picked an interesting time to move there i guess....
i guess the cost of living isn't much of a shock if you're coming from sf, lol....
the cost of living in some items was still a shock
bread milk eggs outside off Costco is crazy ... I saw a gallon of milk as high as $9.99 
Thank goodness for costco
well if you ever get over here .. we'll do coffee my treat 
it's good to see a familiar face
It's been so long!
way too long I hope you are well
Be honest, now: you really just came back to get your post-count up to 100,000, right? 
Stay safe from the hot molten spaghetti sauce stuff.
it feels good to be back It's great to see you here!
Yeah, there's a lot of new folks but that's the nature of message boards. Like life, people come and go.
I want to see you get to 100,000!
I think can I think I can
of course if he's a member of the Kona Coffee Growers Association I may run into him at functions.
if you do get back here the Coffee is on me we are slowly growing but still the quaint
place of your memory.
about an hr drive south of Kona .
My Dad is a musician playing here all over and is also approaching 80 .
I'll ask him about Jesse Colin Young. He probably knows him <3
I agree Leo Kottke is God
We do have a music studio and very humble guest quarters , PM me if you are
planning a trip here.. 
as REAL as Real Gets .. let me know if you have questions I'll do my best to help
You would have known me as socialdemocrat1981 back in the day, then I changed my name to RFKHumphreyObama but then persistent computer and email problems forced me to open a new account altogether. But yes, I remember you and what fun we had moderating together and hanging out in the Lounge during those early years of DU (can't believe it's been almost 17 years!). I have thought about you from time to time and missed you and wondered what had happened to you! I remember hanging out with you at that get-together in 2003 in SF! Those were good times, despite all the madness going on with the Bush Administration (which, sadly, seems mild in comparison to what we have now)
Anyway, great to see you back!
those were the good old days it seems now .. waving at ashcroft's helicopters flying over the park LOL .
Glad to be back
It's great to see you too
Great to see you again! It's good to be back
Great memories!!! Glad you dropped this note!
Never been to Hawaii, will get there eventually.
Well you can stay here when you come , save ya some money .. :loveya

...as usual.
calling reps and debating everyone on the right who crosses me .. as always .
now it's time to win a presidential electiion 
for godess and Country
You never change.
