(...stepping enthusiastically up to the mic..)<P>"From the beautiful rainforests of the Hamakua coast and snow-covered peaks of Mauna Kea, to the black sand beaches of Kau, I'm Mrs. O from the Orchid Isle. The largest in the Hawaiian Island chain, the Big Island is a tropical paradise, sprinkled with rural plantation towns and world-class beaches. Although other islands seek the title....the Big Island is "no ka oi!" (the best)."<P>(...big, toothy smile as I exit, stage left...)<p>[This message has been edited by Mrs.O (edited October 02, 2000).]

hello i am pretty new here but already feel like part of the group everyone has been very helpful i am from Southern New Jersey .<P>words i live by<P> Every day counts <P>Every day is an opportunity to make your life the way you want it to be. Anything is possible when you work toward it, one day at a time. Skip a day, and you lose momentum. Try to do it all at once, and you burn out.<P>Steadily, consistently work, making every day count, and you will reach your goals. Today is a chance to grow -- to do a little bit more than you did yesterday, a little bit better, a little bit more effectively. Anyone can do a little more, learn a little more, and grow a little more each day. Soon, with consistent effort, those "little bits" add up to major accomplishments.<P>Is there something you want to change? Today is the day to start changing it. Do you want the happiness you deserve? Today is the day to start making it happen. Do you need to lose weight? Today is the day to start doing it. Not next Monday or next month -- today. You deserve to reach your goals as soon as possible. Control today and you control your life. <P><BR>**actions speak louder then words**<P>^..^<BR> \/ everyday be greatful for what is good in your life ! <P> peace , love ,and happiness . IMBC
