  1. I saw this one today:

    Subject: How to clean your toilet

    1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo

    to the water in the bowl.

    2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the

    bathroom.

    3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close

    both lids. You may need to stand on the lid.

    4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the

    noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.

    5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a

    "power-wash" and rinse".

    6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that

    there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.

    7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift

    both lids.

    8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the

    bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off.

    9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.

  2. Been to Maui 2-3 times and the big island 2 times with the third time coming up in November (supplier sends us there along with about 20 other couples from Oregon/ Washington). Maui is beautiful and I enjoyed it (been 6 years since last been there and dont remember a whole lot of what we did). The big islands volcano is a neat place to visit. Take flashlights and water bottles so you can see it at night when the lava glows. As was told above, half the island is arid (lots of old lava fields) and the other half is very green. There is a park in the NW? corner of the island that has a nice waterfall and interesting plants/ flowers. Hilo has a farmers market that we chanced upon that had some delicious foods, will definately hit it again. The green side of the island gets huge amounts of rainfall sometimes that can be pretty amazing to be in. We caught the farmers market during one such rainfall and barely made it out of the city before the main highway started to lift up from the runoff and force it to be closed (30" of rain in 24 hours! but the arid side only got 13").

    The volcano, while a bit of a drive, is a must see. We are taking our young daughters this trip and our 10 year old is psyched to see it.

    If you go, go to the stores (safeway, costco..) in the area and get some food. We got breakfast items and some lunch items for when we didnt want to pay an arm and a leg for meals at the resort.

    Snorkling/ scuba diving is great there and the booze/ snorkle cruises are fun.

    I'd really like to go back to Maui, but for some reason (golf courses) the owner who is sending us has chosen the big island again (3rd time in a row we will go there). Oh well, a free vacation IS a free vacation!

  3. "Listen, these things appeal to what's lowbrow about Americans; the "need for speed", a love of showing-off and noisily and conspicuously displaying "power", and a longing for immediate gratification. Also appealed to is a penchant for laziness and a loutish lack of civility."

    - And probably most all other "modernized" countries (at least as pertaining to your first sentence)

    "Some of the defenders of these craft seem offended that they're tarred with the same brush as the yahoos who use these devices. This betrays a class anxiety common in America. I say if you like the things use them but don't be offended if people think you're a yokel: if you take up behavior popular with bumpkins don't cry when people mistake you for one. Soldier on. "

    - I like Klipsch speakers! 6.gif Also SUV's, PWC's, Guns, and a lot of other stuff that gets bad reps, though not by me 12.gif .

  4. A buddy recently got a 2 seater and a 3 seater. They are a kick! I have gotten the 2 seater to 69mph (at our 4000' elevation) and the 3 seater we use to wakeboard with.

    Definately do want to get a 4-stroke as a lot of lakes are outlawing 2-strokers. Also take a boaters ed. course (required in Oregon). Taught me a lot. It is available online.

    I would definately buy some if my buddy didnt have them but now my wife wants a boat so we can use all 3 together, so it looks like Ima gonna have to get a boat.
