      "Island time"... if you have ever lived on one, you know this to be true.


      You can book the electrician for Monday and he may show up on Friday, if you are lucky and the weather is bad.

          Nene, I like the Colorado Rockies and Staten Island ferry suggestions! I'm in Colorado and forgot about the Rockies! Thanks

          PS: are you in Hawaii? I note that the nene is Hawaii's endangered state bird...

          No mermaid, i'm not in Hawaii. But it's interesting about nene being state bird. I am in Mesquite, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. My nephew(when he was little)could not say Nita(my name is Anita). So, he called me Nene.

                  Very hard to do if you dont think of all the answers at the same time.Does a Questioner get notified if an answer is amended? (Serious question.)

                  You can just go back and edit your answer... add a new idea then hit the tool bar. Presto Chango.
                  They don't get notified everytime you edit. You just have to hope they read your answer.
