I'm pretty sure I caught the tiki virus (like many others) from the visits to Disneyland and the relatives in Hawaii as a little squirt. The virus is chronic now, and I'm glad to know that so many others suffer the same affliction. As a kid I had a placemat with my Hawaiian name on it, "KAHAKA," hence the reason why I chose it as my username. Apparently it means "CHAD." My younger brother still insists that the middle syllable of my Hawaiian name is silent, and that the name is pronounced "KA-KA." I still tell him "NO... that's the word for something else." I'm now a 2nd grade teacher (believe it or not) so I don't exactly have the $ to go tiki-bananas, but I've done what I can with my house thus far. Like I've read in some of the posts "it's a work in progress." I made a bar (yes, teachers need an occasional Mai Tai or 5), some hanging lamps, and some other stuff for the place that I won't bore you with. I'm happy, but never fully satisfied. I figure "the itch" is part of the symptoms. Thanks to all that have helped with my posts so far. I appreciate it. Kahaka [ Edited by: KAHAKA on 2003-03-10 20:37 ]
