Lili's Quick Polynesian Summary

The group of islanders that we will be visiting are collectively known as
Polynesians. Many believe that the Polynesians first came to their respective
islands from Southeast Asia. Also, many historians believe that there is a
distinct possibility that Native Americans and Polynesians are related.
One group, Native Americans, traveled by land through the
Bering Strait. The Polynesians set course on the high seas. Both groups
are thought to have originated from the same place. The Polynesian
people comprise six groups: Maori, Samoan, Fijian (some do not consider
them an actual member of the group), Tahitians, Tongans, and Hawaiians.
Throughout their storied history, Polynesians have kept the traditions of
the "old island" with the blend of modern living. Their ability to blend
both lifestyles has allowed for more opportunities and holding on
to traditions that have been passed down through the generations.
Please join us today in learning more about them. Also, come with us
to enjoy the many activities and locations that they have shared with the
world. Enjoy yourself!

hey, bro. . .i just got this from a friend and had to email it to you for your humor bag. . .

_________


A little son of a Baptist minister was in church one morning when he saw for the first time the rite of baptism by immersion. He was greatly interested in it, and the next morning proceeded to baptize his three cats in the bathtub. The first kitten bore it very well, and so did the young cat, but the old family cat rebelled. It struggled with him, clawed and tore him, and got away. With considerable effort he caught it again and proceeded with the ceremony. But she acted worse than ever, clawed at him, spit, and scratched his hands and face. Finally, after barely getting her splattered with water, he dropped her on the floor in disgust and said: "Fine, be a Methodist." ____________________________________________________

Kathy here is a link of the 293 Infantry press release dated March 18, my son Karl is a Delta Dog and left for Iraq last Tuesday which was March 25.

The Delta Dogs also provide security for anyone needing added firepower during their movements around the country. They are routinely used by finance to assist in transporting money from post to post. They also assist in the transport of ammunition to camps through out the region.

Thank you!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Nonie 2 seems to be out of step. LOL! Oh well, no one cares. Today is a fun day for our troops that have a chance to check into the Canteen.

I'm sorry your flowers aren't getting the sun they need. Maybe Mr Sun can help out for a day or two.

I'm sure Kalolina won't mind sharing for a day or two.

[BeAllYouCanBe]

Actually the soldier in the picture does look a whole lot like my son Karl but he is not identified as the subject.

Aloha, Kaki!!!

Great Monday, we had a blast at our Support the Troops Rally yesterday. I'll be getting pics up tonight if my 'puter cooperates...it decided to quit loading sometime last week, and I've been Internet-deprived at home since then.

I think I really needed Liberty Call today!!!

[snippy_about_it]

No one has posted in over an hour. Hellllooo.

Jinxy, I guess since you've had 'puter problems you are behind in your project?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Aloha, Ioe! Computer problems at the Canteen are threatening to become an epidemic! This is not a good thing. Can't wait for pics. Support Our Troops Rally's are sure fun.

DIVA, wonderful thread! I LOVE HAWAII! So many wonderful memories. My friends and I were always mistaken as locals, obviously. LOL! A lot of Ilocanos (Filipinos from the Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur region). How can I forget "Pearly Shells" from Hawaiian dance lessons. So laid back and relaxing - SIGH! I miss tropical fruits especialy manggoes, my favorite. Time to make a trip - maybe Tahiti.....
