"Jewish Sex..." 'Chester "Unc" Lau' (Source)


Dakinetalks favorite Uncle (Chester Lau)
Unc talks  about  his favorite subject, sex!
"Unc" is a retired cinematographer currently living 
on the Hawai'ian Island of Oahu & giving the politicians a bad time...

The Italian man said, 'Last week my wife and I had great sex when I rubbed her body all over with olive oil and we made passionate love and she screamed for five full minutes at the end."

The Frenchman boasted, 'Last week when my wife and I had sex, I rubbed her body all over with butter and made passionate love and she screamed for fifteen minutes.'

The Jewish man said, well last week my wife and I also had sex and I rubbed her body all over with schmaltz (chicken fat) and we made love and she screamed for over six hours.

The other two were stunned and the amazed Frenchman asked, 'What could you have possibly done to make your wife scream for six hours?'

The Jewish man said, 'I wiped my hands on the bedspread.


"Stop wars, Jews to love Arabs,Protestants to love Catholics.Hindus to love Muslims & WAR  MACHINES WILL GO BELLY UP !!! WE HOPE!!!!"   Chester "Unc" Lau

"Eating organic really is not that healthy after all..." 'James "Kimo" Rosen'

What really aids longevity? Some say happiness, some say diet, some say genetics?
The answer is different with everyone.

Eating organic really is not that healthy after all

If carbonated beverages, french fries and fried chicken also known as comfort foods were known as healthy alternative foods would you eat them more often?

Costco recently sold a batch of organic berries from Oregon where 87 people nationwide including  5 people in Hawai'i  contacted the  Hepatitis A virus.
http://www.komonews.com/news/health/Hepatitis-A-linked-to-frozen-berries-sickens-Washington-211038151.html

Sometimes eating organic really is not that healthy after all.

Did you know that the french fries at Burger King  are cooked in trans fat-free vegetable oil and do not contain animal products,while the side salad ranch dressing alone has 240 calories, making the value sized  french fries with 200 calories a more healthy alternative to a side salad and dressing.

My brother in laws brother a strict vegetarian for many years and the poster child for eating healthy died a young man at age 55 from Leukemia, an obese friend  of mine who ate whatever she wanted her whole life lived into her mid 80's.

What really aids longevity? Some say happiness, some say diet, some say genetics?

The answer seems  different with everyone.

Is it possible many things we know are wrong concerning health? Remember one mans meat is another mans poison.




Just in 06-16-13 6:45 P.M. I am sorry to report that Dakinetalk's good friend  Shrili Green  lost her battle with cancer today. Shrili shared her blog about living with cancer during Thanksgiving 2011...
I am re-posting the blog for anyone who wants to read about a special person. My heartfelt condolences to all friends and family of Shirili Green.

"Happy Fathers day...!" 'Judith Whitehead' (Inspiration Sunday)

Judith Whitehead lives in Amherst New York and has worked in the
ophthalmology field of medicine  for over 30 years.
Today she talks about  Dads getting the short end of the stick on Father's Day

compared to Mothers on Mother's day...Enjoy

Happy Fathers Day

It’s time to  fire up those  grills, gather the family and get ready for that all important day to honor dad, Fathers Day.  

We need to spend as much time celebrating our Dads’ special day as  we do for Mothers Day. 

 For some reason Dads’ get the short end of the stick on this holiday  and we need to recognize them for the value they bring to the table as well.  So this year forget the” shirt and tie” boring thing, be inventive, be creative and surprise DAD with a well thought out gift and not just the after- thought he usually gets. 

Dads’ are special guys too and deserve the recognition; so make Sunday June 16th  all about  dad and celebrate!!

"A window to the world or a tangled web..?" 'Deborah Morel'


Guest-blogger Deborah Morel  is a Human and Judicial rights advocate. One of her favorite quotes close
to heart is, "The dead cannot cry out for justice; it is a duty of the living to do this for them."
Lois McMaster Bujold

Today Deborah talks about the new modern world of Facebook, 
Twitter,Comment Boards, Blogging and Big Brother... Enjoy!


A Window To The World Or A Tangled Web?

We Skype, Facebook, email, and Tweet.  We can reach out to loved ones on the other side of the world with the double click of a mouse. We can spend time in electronic communication to those who live only blocks away. My questions are, "Why not telephone, instead? Why not meet for coffee, lunch, or dinner, instead?" My resistance is a lost cause; progress has marched on. We can gain rich, instant global  information that can save lives and, too, in some cases prove a double edged sword. The nature of  anonymity that the "world wide web" provides can spring board into a very different world; at its worst, this is a dark underworld of exploitation and abuse. Where are the complex lines to be drawn?

There have been several recent letters published by The Kaua'i Garden Island News (TGI) to the issues of rights, privacy, and national security. Hawai'i newspaper fresh headlines announce, "ISLE RESIDENT WAS LEAK." This national story relates to a government contract employee detailing top-secret National Security Agency programs, and who leaked intel. 

My friend's computers have been corrupted; another's inbox mail scrambled. For me? I have had an "in-box" full of various experiences when it comes to engaging in writing, and being a part of this "www." In one electronic communication to a journalist, it was asked of me that my email be published in this on-line newspaper as a letter to the editor.

I agreed; however, I asked to double check some details to make certain all the information was correct prior to publishing. I am of the opinion that anyone, who generates any information whatsoever to be published, has great responsibility. Codes of conduct are expected of all journalists; this stands to reason. Incorrect information can impact innocent people greatly; incorrect information will cause readers to loose confidence in a writer's words. 

My email went to press without corrections. I left a voice mail message and sent a second email communication, "Stop the press! Correct these two errors as follow!" No response. The news was hot; this particular story received 1,587 hits. I felt I was left to begin making phone calls, and sending emails of explanation and apology. In tandem, several people communicated the errors to me. This is understandable. What became of this story? Corrections were never published--which troubles me to this day, and for several different reasons. The damage was done.

Recently, I received phone calls that a journalist with a blog referenced my name, writing--to the effect--that this blogger was deleting my comments because the journalist was "tired of these comments on this site, and why wasn't I getting this?"

In the words of Clint Eastwood, "What?" I don't read this blog; I don't contribute comments. 

However, I reside in a lovely home that wraps its "arms" around about 14 people, and "opens its arms" to visitors coming and going. I affectionately call this home "The Waltons." We cook and share meals together, sit outside for hours--and into the late night-- at two shared picnic tables under the stars--sharing stories, laughing, breaking bread, while Christmas lights strung on the umbrellas twinkle, trade winds blow, music and ukulele are played, and computers are lined-up, plugged into an electrical pad and operating. This is a place and time in which fond memories are made.

With a household full of people, who generously share the same computers, were comments left on this blog under "Anonymous?"  Had I set-up an account way-back-when on this blog, on a computer which I no longer use, and forgot about this fact, then, someone, or more than one person, came behind these days, and placed comments on this site under "Anonymous?"

Anonymous or not, this blog's Big Brother came a knocking on our happy home's door, in the blog's publisher overreaching--policing some contributions to this public forum. But, in these days, who's to say? I've made my own mistakes. Perhaps in this fresh case of the journalist with a blog, these violations of confidentiality, and leaking of erroneous information, were morally and ethically motivated, or  matters of national security! This, though, is hard to determine; it seems the blogger has gone silent, or fallen into the Black Hole of the I.T. world.

"Too Much Talk Story..." 'Obama Da Dog'





Sometimes you just want to be invisible and avoid people
while riding a bike or in the grocery store....


Too Much Talk Story

Talk story is what people on a small island like to do, some call it shooting the breeze, Jewish people call it kibbutzing, In Hawaii we call it talking story.

I ride a bike as my primary means of transportation. I  always pass people walking that feel the urge to stop me and tell me all their problems. First of all I am not a  bicycle riding  psychiatrist and by the time you ride 3 miles and pass five people you may know, all wanting to talk story, it get's tiring.

Then it's onto the grocery store where I try avoiding people I know  in the isles because they are going to tell me about their new sickness,  or how their neighbors are bothering them, or how their gardener just ripped them off, to hundreds of stupid jokes I laugh at only to be polite.

I know understand why the majority of people in my community drive large pick-up trucks with tinted windshields. They can avoid all the riffraff of being a sitting duck while riding a bicycle.  

There's no denying anyone running into people in the grocery store you just don't want to talk story with. 
When this happens, I always say I have viral pneumonia and I am still contagious, and when they want to shake hands I tell them that the  rash on my hand is the herpes virus, if all else fails I place fake cold sores on my lips and ask if it's OK if I kiss them!  Works every time!

Oy, the problems of living in a small community.

"AGREE TO DISAGREE..." 'Bettejo Dux' (Classic Wednesday)

Bettejo  has lived on Kaua'i over 30 years and is a people lover,
animal lover, lover of life and strikes a dashing yoga pose...
Bettejo and I don't always agree however that's the beauty of America. 
Today she talks about  one of her favorite people on the Cosmic Garden Island
of Kauai, I wonder she she is speaking of?   ;D)
All I can say is God Bless you Bettejo, or better yet may Darwin bless you! 
Enjoy...

AGREE TO DISAGREE

This entire column is dedicated to one of my favorite people on Kaua'i. Hawai'i? The country?

A silver-haired bloke who has a darling dog, a wonderful blog, always finds some way to haul Darwin into the gig and feeds me consecrated chicken soup on occasion. Two member of his ancient  family feed me matzoh during Passover and make me an honorary Jewess for the day. But not this guy. Next year, during Passover, I’m going to feed him a ham sandwich  at Costco and make him an honorary atheist.

This guy, whose name I will not mention, also tries to teach me how to use a computer. He’s kind of patient, I am a pitifully slow learner. A computer to me is nothing more than a glorified typewriter and typewriters can’t cut and paste, send pictures through cyberspace and perform other incredible feats.

He even bought me a telephone once,  but I’m still Peggy Evans, a character too dumb to dial.  I played her in Neil Simon’s first play, Come Blow Your Horn, in the Magic Ring Theater at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki. That could certainly be part of  my When the World was Young column in the Garden Island Newspaper.  We’ll wait and see. Sometimes I think I have too many editors.

But I digress.

Anyhoo, my favorite person in all the world has to rest for four weeks after one pizza  session with me-at Costco- before he’s strong enough to  have another.

Also, come to find out, he was a leader in the pro Super Ferry fiasco in which I was a noisy-who me?-anti protester. Further, he liked Linda Lingle-EEEEKKK-and insists atheism is a religion. We  disagree about GMOs and WalMart. More EEEEKKKS. He’s also constantly on my back about what to write about. Viagra?

GRRRR.

But I did it.

Almost got booted off another site-’cause that Editor thought it too frisky risky for his readership. His readers, by the way, are mostly made up of no-namers, silly namers and name callers. Many of whom hate me. I’m their favorite kig-me-doll. Good for me.

On ‘blanks’ site, some of the best writers in the state, I think-MIT pictures and real names-speak their minds. They’re  head and shoulders  above the crowd.

More than that, what I see is a group of independent  thinkers who express themselves well and who, if it came right down to it, could picket, protest, shout to the sky, wave signs on the street on opposite sides of any situation and remain friends. Cross over -verbally, physically-take a breath, share a drink and a wink and a smile , then pick up their signs, brush off their pants and get back to work.

When it’s all over, and one side has won and one side has lost, we remember we’re all in this together. Humans breathing the same air, drinking the same water, eating the same food (?).  Living on the same planet. In paradise. Lucky us.  Knowing how dull it would be if we all agreed.

"The new cool is to be gay..." 'Obama Da Dog'

Obama Da Dog is one Gay ( Happy and Giddy) creature, not
that there's anything wrong with that...

Everything seems centered around the gays. It has become highly accepted and the new cool is to be gay.

Every evening newscast usually has  something about gay marriage, civil unions or gay pride parades.

A recent cover of Sports Illustrated magazine featured Jason Collins a gay NBA basketball player. The story had nothing to do with any sports achievement but just the fact he was a gay and came out of the closet. Maybe the front cover of Cosmopolitan but Sports Illustrated?

My dictionary still defines gay as  light hearted,giddy and brightly coloured and when two men are having sexual relations it's anything but gay, but just a homosexual act.

I think most people agree with me, however it has become politically correct to accept gay anything and everything. People are afraid to speak their minds in fear of being labeled old fashioned, homophobic or even a bigot. 

I am opposed to gay marriage, however at the same time I do not believe in heterosexual marriage either.  Marriage is defined as  a union between a man and woman, therefore  marriage cannot be a homosexual thing.

Gay people need to  have their own platform with all the same rules of marriage and divorce.

If  homosexuals and lesbians want to marry they need to come up with a new word, I have suggested in the past, "Garriage," the 'G' is from Gay and when you combing the 'G' from Gay and take out the 'M' in Marriage it becomes "Garriage."  

It's gotten to be that one feels left out if your not  a homosexual or lesbian or should I say gay? Not  that there's anything wrong with it.

OK, you still with me?
