Resolved Question: Wedding in Hawaii, Oahu?

will be getting married in Hawaii this year on 10/10 and we will be at the Waialae Beach for our wedding ceremony. I need to pick a time for our cerremony, two options are 10am and 4pm. The photographer said that those are the best time for photo shooting because of the lighting. I am not too sure about that but since he is professional I should trust him on that?? I wonder how much different do the picture look between those 2 time. I want natural light so pictures wil turn out good. But I also worried if I take the 10am , I won't have enough time for hair, make up, dress, getting ready etc etc...what is your opinion? more

Resolved Question: Is this a good beginning for my story?

Excuse spelling mistakes. :D Move. Dodge. Duck. Swerve. Weave. My school felt like a jungle. I moved through the crowded halls trying to make my way to my locker. Jocks body slammed, populars giggled and flipped their hair, nerds waited to be attacked, teachers waited for the day to end. Me? I waited for my life to end. My world came crashing down a few weeks before when we moved from my wonderful home in Hawaii, to a little town in New Hampshire. I had friends and family in Hawaii. My hoa and ohana. But my parents took it away from me. So, I was stuck in thst town. No palm trees, no beaches, it was cold because it was fall. I hated it there. And I hated it even more as I passed the populars, on my way to my locker, and they started laughing and whispering even more. I blushed in embarrassment and picked up the pace. I finally reached my locker and opened it. Setting my books inside I scanned the door. Pictures of me and my friends, Kai and Halua. I smiled. We hall signed the back of the picture. Malia, Kai, Holua. I sighed, remembering the day we did it. Other then the picture, I had stickers, other pictures and a mirror on my door. I looked in the mirror. My tan skin and dark hair didn't exactly blend in with the other kids. I mean, some of the kids had tans, and some had dark hair, but not like me. I wasn't just a white girl with a tan. I was a Hawaiian girl. There wasn't really anyone like me in the school. And no one had a name like mine. Malia Koli Onakapu. Everyone else was Emily Jonston and Jacob White and Hannah Smith. No one had a name like me. I slipped my books into my locker and closed it again. No one could remember my name, either. It was Malika or Halia or Alina. I mean, what's so hard about Malia? It's only three syllables! Ma-Li-A. That's it. I understand not remember Onakapu. But Malia? I turned and started down the hall, ready to make my journey home. "Later, Kalika." I heard. I rolled my eyes, not bothering to correct the person. I had a death grip on the straps of my backpack. I don't know why. My nuckles were turning white, though. I held my breath as I came up on the last few feet to the door. Pushing it open I felt a rush of cool air strike my face. I looked around curiously. I think it was snowing. I had never seen snow before. I walked outside and watched as the little dots hit the ground, speckling it with white. I held out my hand, waiting for it to accumulate there, but it didn't. "It wont build up on your bare hand." I heard. I turned to see a young girl standing there. She had short brown hair and was wearing guy clothes. "It's partially frozen ice. It'll melt on you hand. Body heat." I lowered my hand. "Right." I said. "I've never seen snow before. Other then on TV." She took a few steps closer to me with a curious look. "Where are you from?" she asked. "Hawaii." She smiled. She started walking, so I followed. "That's cool." she said. "I vacationed there once. It's a really nice island." I nodded, looking around the small town. "It really is." I said.I ment partially frozen water, not ice. :) more

Resolved Question: Looking to elope to Hawaii, any recommendations?

So yeah, our dream is to elope to Hawaii and I am just wondering if anyone has any suggestions? I dont need a super fancy wedding or anything, here is a run down of how I want it to go: Would like to get married on the beach, have a skilled photographer and get a large variety of pictures on CD, toast the union with champange, and have a limo take us to dinner. I dont have a preference of which island to go to, but I would like to try to keep it as cheap as possible so if you know which island has the best wedding packages/accommodations that would be so helpful. Also, I have a few family members coming to watch the ceremony, my Grama is one of them and it sounds like she would prefer to not go to Oahu, BUT its my wedding and I am not basing my decisions on her wishes. If Oahu is the cheapest, that is where we will go. After the ceremony, my fiancee and I would like to leave the hotel we stay at and rent some sort of beach villa or bungalo. It doesnt have to be fancy... we are going for PRIVATE. So if anyone has any suggestions for that, also very helpful. Thanks in advance more

Resolved Question: My husband had an affair with a borderline psychopath?

About a year ago my husband came to me and told me that he had a fling with this woman. He traveled a lot, and apparently it happened on a business trip. He said he was sorry, and wanted a second chance and that it would never happen again. I initially kicked him out. I was hurt, confused and upset, we had 2 year old twins and I just couldn't believe that it had happened, but we eventually went to marriage counseling and worked it out and things have been great. Yesterday, I returned to my office and there was a envelope with my name on it sitting on my desk. There were four pictures in it, two of a woman with my husband at a beach, one of a necklace (on the back of the photo it said "your husband bought this for me", and one of the woman completely nude! There was a letter in it as well, she said that he loved her and that I should let him go... among other things. I asked my secretary who left it, she said it was a blond woman wearing a flower print dress, which is exactly what the woman was wearing in the picture with my husband. I'm kind of shaken.. The only thing I know about her is that she lives in Hawaii. I never questioned who she was, I didn't know her and at the time I considered it to be irrelevant, but now I'm not quite sure what I'm dealing with. This woman knows who I am, and where I work and is left me nude picture of herself! She's an attractive woman, but then again so am I so I don't see why she did that. About a week ago someone called our house line 10 times throughout the day and kept hanging up. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but I'm now about 90% sure it was this woman. Sane people do not do things like this. It's creepy. I'm now thinking that maybe the "fling" as my husband called it, was more than likely an affair that lasted longer than the week he was in Hawaii. I've even considered that it may still be happening. Why else would she show up nearly a year later and cause trouble? Before I said anything about this to my husband I decided to check his credit card transactions and our phone bills..no irregular activity, no calls to Hawaii. So, maybe this woman is just really crazy. I don't want to be played for a fool and I surely don't want to deal with some loony fatal attraction type woman. What can I do about her? Am I stupid for staying with him in the first place? more

Resolved Question: More funny jokes for you all?

Crossing The River crossing the river One day, three men were hiking and unexpectedly came upon a large raging, violent river. They needed to get to the other side, but had no idea of how to do so.     The first man prayed to God, saying, "Please God, give me the strength to cross this river." Poof! God gave him big arms and strong legs, and he was able to swim across the river in about two hours, after almost drowning a couple of times.     Seeing this, the second man prayed to God, saying, "Please God, give me the strength ..and the tools to cross this river."     Poof! God gave him a rowboat and he was able to row across the river in about an hour, after almost capsizing t he boat a couple of times.     The third man had seen how this worked out for the other two, so he also prayed to God saying, "Please God, give me the strength and the tools...and the intelligence... to cross this river."     And poof! God turned him into a woman. She looked at the map, hiked upstream a couple of hundred yards, then walked across the bridge. ---- Comedians Best Lines "I just broke up with someone and the last thing she said to me was, 'You'll never find anyone like me again!' I'm thinking, 'I should hope not! If I don't want you, why would I want someone like you?'   --Larry Miller     "A woman broke up with me and sent me pictures of her and her new boyfriend in bed together. Solution? I sent them to her dad."   --Christopher Case     "Relationships are hard. It's like a full-time job, and we should treat it like one. If your boyfriend or girlfriend wants to leave you, they should give you two weeks' notice. There should be severance pay, and before they leave you, they should have to find you a temp."   --Bob Ettinger     "I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it's such a beautiful animal. There you go.

Think of the logistics of that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of another wish, a wish you think would honor and glorify me."     The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I have been married and divorced four times. All of my wives said that I am uncaring and insensitive. I wish that I could understand women, I want to know how they feel inside, what they are thinking when they give me the silent treatment, why they cry, what they mean when they say 'nothing' and how I can make a woman truly happy"     After a few minutes God said, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?" ---- Homework father was scolding his young son for not doing his homework.     "If I had a computer, it would be so much easier," said the son.     "You don't need a computer," replied the fatedit- Homework joke last two paragraphs cut off. sorry."

I'm going to be in Hawaii the week before school starts, so I'm gonna get really tan, and I was thinking maybe a white dress that would help excentuate that.

Resolved Question: Beach-themed parties and weddings - tacky or not?

My step-daughter is flying in for the summer and our 7 year anniversary will happen while she is here. On I whim I thought it would be a great idea to have a beach renewal ceremony (we eloped) and the reception at the beach park and then take all the kids camping. I don't really want anything big and I am in the military so my family and friends are far from Hawaii and can't afford to come on a whim (timeline is in a few weeks). I want to dress all the little girls up in flower girl dresses and be a bride for a day and take lots of pictures. My wedding party is made up of children. And the only guests that will be there are my mother and my son's god parents. And since it will be in a few weeks I can't really do very much budget-wise. Would it be terribly tacky to line the aisle with beach balls, seat the guests in beach chairs and umbrellas and have a totally beach themed party and maybe coming to shore on a kayak. The wedding dress and flower girl dresses will be short in length and light (the weather will be around 90 degrees and it is on the beach in Hawaii). The groom and my 13 month old son (the ring bearer) will be wearing light khaki pants or shorts and a white short sleeved button down. Shoes are optional and no formal dress code. Then have the reception at the beach park and rent a bounce house and have a BBQ. Afterwards, let my mom have the beach cabin and take the kids camping at the beach? After buying one of those brides magazines it sounded cheap and tacky but I thought at first it sounded cute, simple, family oriented and outdoorsy (and a little romantic). Which is exactly how we are...what do you think? more

Resolved Question: Does this first section of my story grab your attention?

I roamed around downtown watching my feet. I pasted a large bulletin board hanging on the side of a building “Wish you were here?” It said. It was a picture of an unfamiliar beach. At the bottom it said “Visit Hawaii today,” I looked up and noticed it was advertising a Traveling Agency inside. I looked through the blue tinted window. A man and woman were talking; their fingers gently laced together. The woman flashed her pearly white teeth as the man pulled her closer. I turned away, I just can’t look. It was disgusted. It was killing me. I continued walking, swerving around the crowd of people. Unfortunately, I had no where to go. There was nobody waiting for me and my friends were happily taken by love. I spent my Friday nights walking around the city until my feet were sore. My name is Allyson, and I try to stay optimistic. I don’t exactly love my job, I neglected to sign up for more classes, and my weekends are typically romantic comedies I find on TV. I’m not living the best life but I don’t have it bad either. I wish I could scream my lungs out. I sat down on a bench in the state park. I closed my eyes and tried to think. I was unsure what to think about. I’m so alone, alone with heartache, waiting for someone to pass by and ask me what is wrong. I need to stop fantasizing. That’s what I need to do. The sun started to go down. I felt like I had no reason to go home. I slipped my shoes off, and stepped on the ledge of the bridge. I turned around to face the world that has been ignoring my cries. I let the cool breeze caress face and run through my hair. I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I inhaled deeply and slowly pulled my weight to the tip of my heals. “You have to be kidding me” a voice said in front of me. I opened my eye and saw Brandon holding his guitar. “What are you doing here?” I asked. “That water is disgusting. It’s full of bugs, allege, and animal feces,” He sat the guitar case down and reached out for my hand. At first I hesitated but it was the only friendly offer I was going to get. I took it and he helped me down of the ledge. “Thanks,” I mumbled. I slipped my shoes back with a long drawn out sigh. “Most people choose a higher bridge,” He said. “Shut up, I wasn’t going to do it.” “Typical teenage angst,” he took off his sweat shirt and handed it to me. “Let’s go home,” he said. The city was lit up on this Friday night, the weather was perfect for any downtown event, but the air was still cool. I'm open for any postaive or negative answers. I need input. Because this will be the 3rd first chapter I wrote today.I realized I sort of jump and describe her walking to the state park and bridge.

Resolved Question: I'm a beginner photographer. What wide angle lens should I take to Hawaii?

I bought a Canon Rebel XSi in December and have learned the very basics about it. My husband and I are going to December in a few weeks and I would like to rent a good wide angle lens to take beautiful landscape pictures while we're there. Do you have any recommendations of which I should take? I've been looking at the Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 and the Canon 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5. Like I said, we don't have a whole lot of experience with wide angle lenses. We own the Canon17-55mm (the one the camera came with) and we also have a Canon 50 1.8. Do you have any recommendations or advice for us on which lens we should take? I'd love to get nice photos of my husband and I and also all of the beautiful beaches and sunsets. more

Resolved Question: What should I do to prevent creeps from taking photos of my girlfriend when we go to the beach?

I am going to Hawaii in a few months, and I am concerned because I am worried that creeps might take photos of my girlfriend when we are at the beach. Is there anything I can do to stop them from doing this, or make it harder for them to do this? She will be wearing a bikini, so she will not be naked, but I still do not want people to take pictures of her when we go to the public beaches, because she doesn't want those kinds of pictures of her to be popping up on the internet. Thanks! more

Resolved Question: My father is getting married again... should I give him a gift? Is this okay for a gift?

My father is getting married to a woman he has been with for less than 6 months. He met her around the same time he broke up with his girlfriend/fiance of 10+ years and around the time his mother passed away. I do not think he should marry, but it is his life. I am already quite bitter at this moment, for I found out he tried to cash in my life insurance policy (what he has paid into it), on Friday. He was upset when he found out the money went to me since I had passed the age of 21, even though he was the one who paid into it when I was a child. He wanted spending money for his honeymoon in Hawaii. I am still quite angry, but glad that I found out. Anyway, I bought him and his wife to be (who lives only 15 minutes away, yet I have only met her twice) a card, a $50 gift card to Kohl's, a picture frame (Mr. and Mrs.) and a Yankee candle in the scent of Beach Walk (to remind them of their honeymoon). Right now, I am thinking that is simply too much. It is his second marriage, it is not even a formal affair. Invitations were not sent out. Currently, I believe I will be one of three guests. My brother is not coming, his father is not going. My husband is overseas. Her daughter (who had previously said she was flying from Arizona to WV for this weekend, which is why they planned the wedding for this date), is no longer coming in because her two year-old has a stomach flu. I feel as if I should be nice anf give all that I got, but at the same time, part of me says I am just 23 and the extra $50 from the gift card could go to a savings account for a future house or heck, a charity for animals. My father has never been very kind with his money and stopped paying child support for me the month I turned 18. We have tried to have a relationship on and off, but it seems as if I am never his top priority. What would you do? Thanks. more

Resolved Question: what about these jokes do you find them funny?

When I asked my girlfriend if I could see her home she handed me a picture of it. My girlfriend just saved me a lot of money - she married someone else. If my girlfriend said what she thought she'd be completely speechless. One day a man was walking along the beach and found a bottle. He looked around and didn't see anyone so he opened it. A genie appeared and thanked the man for letting him out. The genie said, "For your kindness I will grant you a wish, but only one." The man thought for a minute and said, "I have always wanted to visit Hawaii but have never been able to because I'm afraid of flying and ships make me seasick. So I wish for a road to be built from here to Hawaii." The genie thought for a minute and said, "No, I don't think I can do that. Just think of all the work involved: the pilings needed to hold up the highway, how deep they would have to be to reach the bottom of the ocean. Think of all the pavement that would be needed. No, that is just too much to ask." The man thought for a minute and then told the genie, "Well, there is one other thing that I have always wanted. I would like to be able to understand my girlfriend. What makes her laugh and cry, why is she temperamental, why is she so difficult to get along with? Basically, what makes her tick?" The genie considered for a few minutes and said, "So, do you want two lanes or four?" Fred: My girlfriend loves nature. Dave: That's very generous of her, considering what nature has done to her. Boyfriend: Is that a new perfume I smell? Girlfriend: It is, and you do! My girlfriend phoned me and said.. "Come on over there's nobody home." I went over. Nobody was home! more

Resolved Question: If I don't get into a university, should i just move to Hawaii instead?

Well I finish my AA in arts and sciences this spring, so i need to find a university to go to. I went threw a bit of a rough patch a while back and my grades aren't the best so getting into the Universities in the area isn't a sure thing. So that got me thinking, Perhaps i'm just not cut out for the whole "higher learning" thing. Now I've visited Hawaii on several occasions and i loved the big island. I can picture my self living there happily with a simple job in the community near the beach. What do you yahoo people think about my back up plan? more

Voting Question: How to make streaming video computer wallpaper.?

Hey there thank you for your time. Basically, I would like to have live streaming video of the ocean or beach somewhere nice like maybe Hawaii or Florida or anywhere warm with the ocean and a beach. I know that there has to be a way to set it as my wallpaper. I have Windows Vista and memory is not a problem. I know how to put video as wallpaper, but I want a live stream like I said before. I downloaded VLC to try that and couldn't exactly figure out how to get a live stream yet. If anyone knows how I could do this, or maybe where to find some good sites for live streaming video of somewhere nice like a Hawaiian beach/ocean or Florida or what not. I guess New York City downtown would be cool too. I DO NOT want a "live stream" that is just a picture that reloads every few seconds, I want a live streaming video.

Resolved Question: Doesn't this explain why the media loves Obama?

Many Republicans already believe President-elect Barack Obama has gotten a free ride from the national media, so they may not be happy to learn the incoming Commander-in-Chief offered to buy a round of drinks for reporters covering his working vacation on the sands of Hawaii's beaches and the greens of its lush golf courses. Halfway through a round of golf on Sunday afternoon, Obama rolled up to the snack bar in his golf cart to find a small pool of reporters waiting to get more pictures of him enjoying a leisurely day. No doubt realizing these might not be the best images at a time of recession, Obama suggested the reporters seek some other recreation to pass the time — rather than snapping so many pics. "Obama then told us we should be in the clubhouse at the bar having some beers," according to a pool report by Jamie Farnsworth of CBS News. "Someone asked if he would pick up the tab and he agreed before driving off to the next hole. more

Resolved Question: Are you happy, no more fighting between red and blue states?

Dear Red States... We've decided we're leaving. We intend to form our own country, and we're taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren't aware, that includes Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people of the new country of New California. To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood. We get Intel, Apple and Microsoft. You get WorldCom. We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss.We get 85 percent of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama . We get two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to make the red states pay their fair share. Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single moms. Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and anti-war, and we're going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at once. If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They have kids they're apparently willing to send to their deaths for no purpose, and they don't care if you don't show pictures of their children's caskets coming home. We do wish you success in Iraq , and hope that the WMDs turn up, but we're not willing to spend our resources in Bush's Quagmire. With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80 percent of the country's fresh water, more than 90 percent of the pineapple and lettuce, 92 percent of the nation's fresh fruit, 95 percent of America's quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners) 90 percent of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools, plus Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT. With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88 percent of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs), 92 percent of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100 percent of the tornadoes, 90 percent of the hurricanes, 99 percent of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100 percent of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia. We get Hollywood and Yosemite , thank you. Additionally, 38 percent of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62 percent believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44 percent say that evolution is only a theory, 53 percent that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61 percent of you crazy b ** ***ds believe you are people with higher morals then we lefties.

Resolved Question: ALERT...MUST READ...NEED YOUR OPINION....?

Dear Red States…” A Letter From The Blue! Dear Red States… We’ve decided we’re leaving. We intend to form our own country, and we’re taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren’t aware, that includes Hawaii, Oregon,Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people of the new country of New California. To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get Elliot Spitzer. You get Ken Lay. We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood. We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom. We get Harvard. You get Ole’ Miss. We get 85 percent of America’s venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama. We get two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to make the red states pay their fair share. Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the Christian Coalition’s, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single moms. Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and anti-war, and we’re going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at once. If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They have kids they’re apparently willing to send to their deaths for no purpose, and they don’t care if you don’t show pictures of their children’s caskets coming home. We do wish you success in Iraq, and hope that the WMDs turn up, but we’re not willing to spend our resources in Bush’s Quagmire. With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80 percent of the country’s fresh water, more than 90 percent of the pineapple and lettuce, 92 percent of the nation’s fresh fruit, 95 percent of America’s quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners) 90 percent of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools, plus Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT. With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88 percent of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs), 92 percent of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100 percent of the tornadoes, 90 percent of the hurricanes, 99 percent of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100 percent of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia. We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you. Additionally, 38 percent of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62 percent believe life is sacred unless we’re discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44 percent say that evolution is only a theory, 53 percent that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61 percent of you crazy b*****ds believe you are people with higher morals then we lefties. By the way, we’re taking the good pot, too. You can have that dirt weed they grow in Mexico. Peace out, Blue States By the way I agree with this Letter. Most republican states need a wake up call. Go Obama, we love you!!!!! more

Resolved Question: Is this as funny and apropos as I think it is? ?

Dear Red States: We regret to inform you that we have decided to leave. We intend to form our own country and we are taking the other Blue States with us. In case cannot follow this line of logic, just know that these include California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and the entire Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to both new nations, especially to the people of the new country of New California. To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We get stem cell research, the best beaches, and the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood. We get Intel and Microsoft. You get Enron and WorldCom. We get Harvard. You get Ole' Miss. We get 85 percent of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama. We get two-thirds of the tax revenue which means you get to make the red states pay their fair share. Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single moms. Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and anti-war. Accordingly, we expect all our citizens to return from Iraq at once. If you still need people to fight, just go ask your evangelicals. They seem to be willing to send to their kids to their deaths for no purpose, and they do not care if you refuse to show pictures of the caskets coming home. We do wish you success in Iraq, and we do hope that the WMDs turn up, but we are no longer willing to spend our resources in Bush's Quagmire. With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80 percent of the country's fresh water, more than 90 percent of the pineapple and lettuce, 92 percent of the nation's fresh fruit, 95 percent of America's quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners), 90 percent of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools plus Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT. With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88 percent of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs), 92 percent of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100 percent of the tornadoes, 90 percent of the hurricanes, 99 percent of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100 percent of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of Georgia.

Please take them with our compliments. Peace out, The Blue States By the way...I did not write it. I just wanted to pass it along. I think it is the funniest think I have read in the past month. more
