Good morning girls,
I received a lot of email( ahulagril@earthlink.net ) since I announced my no cussing campaign that is going on in my head right now. Therefore, I thought I would answer the more popular questions asked via email here if you girls don't mind. So go get your energizer drinks and find a hammock to kick back in because this is going to be a real long one girls... ha ha ha. And please Ladies turn your laugh mode on when reading this post so what I say does not offend you.
Translation = Do not try to read some thing into this post which is not right in front of you face in black in white. I am not a complicated person to understand. I say what I mean and I am blunt and to the point! So please try to look at life through my eyes and lighten up...because life is fun... and enjoy the post... and laugh with me because I did when I received some of these emails.. They were a crack up. And just in case one of these were yours please do not take offence!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
First, people want to know if this transformation is due to the fact that "I found Jesus". My response to this is "Do bears poop in the woods!" Aaaahhhhh.. Duh! I never knew there was a missing person's report filed on him!!!! ha ha ha! I know I am so funny!
Translation = I never knew there was a missing person's report filed on Jesus! Some one forgot to tell me we lost him! .... period that is all this means it was meant for you to laugh not scowl at me...
translation to "ha ha ha!" = The person who asked me this question had no idea that I believe in the cockroach theory.I truly did not know you had to find some one who was never lost in order to bring about change in your life. So I thought the question was strange! = duh! And I wanted you to laugh with me... because I believe in reincarnation and do not believe I will go to hell or heaven. I think if I am good kind and loving to people I will become a beautiful white dove in my next life. If I am mean then I will become a cockroach in my next life. I hate bugs so to be a bug would be my worst nightmare or your hell. Understand? I am free spirit who believes all of us have the power to change without any outside help. Also I believe that if you pray to the statue of Liberty you would get the same results like you would by praying to a God what ever you conceive her to be. Sorry but this is what I believe. Who is to say who is right and who is wrong? Now read the question again but this time read it in the light that you are me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second, people have asked me not to fix something that was never broken! Now isn't that cute. I never knew I was broken either Ha! Ha! Ha! I am not fixing any thing I am just improving on the foundation on which my morals, principals, and values stand on.
Translation = I agree why would any one go out of there way to fix something that does not need repairing. I don't even have the energy to walk out the door right now so I sure as heck not going to use up my life force by doing some thing that I don't need to do right now. More importantly, even if I was not ill I still would not repair an unbroken object. Plus I do not think just because you cuss means your a bad person or broken and this person thinks the same way I do. So I totally agreed with this person which cracked me up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Third, people want to know what caused this metamorphosis or sudden drastic change in my writing technique in posts. Well girls I will tell ya that no one called me on my choice of words. Moreover, I did not receive death threats or any thing like that which has made this turn around in me.
Translation = I think people wanted to know if ivillage had any thing to do with this change. And the answer is no I want to change so I will not be a cockroach in my next life.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fourth, my new and improved writing skills did not come into being because of peer pressure or someone from the outside world like ivillage asked me to change my choice of words. If you have read one or two of my posts ya would know I do not react well to peer pressure in cyberspace via responses or emails which that in it's self equals no change in my choice of words. Ha! Ha! Ha! Me girls that who wanted me to change.
Translation.= Call me stupid or some thing but I had no idea what people were trying to get at. And I could not figure out who people were giving all the credit to with me changing. So that is why I wrote this paragraph. Believe me I did not know until you told me that any one outside my body had any thing to do with any thing. I have short term memory lost and don't even know who she is. So I never even gave her a second thought that they were talking about her telling me to quit using the "hell" word. As a matter of fact I don't remember her name. So what ever any one said couldn't have been that life threatening to me or I would have remembered her name and emailed her. I did not want any one to take credit for this change in me I am selfish and I want all the credit.. I want people to laugh with me and enjoy my posts so I am just making it so you all can by me not cussing any more.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fifth, people are afraid that I will loose the essence or fundamental qualities in my writings that make them unique if cussing is not part of them. Cyber sisters do not worry, I am still going to say weird stuff and share with you all the thoughts that are bouncing around in my brain that want to be heard by you! Ha! Ha! Ha!

There are two profuse situations that pushed me to make this change at this time. A week or so ago I had a mind altering experience or a narrow escape with death. As a result, of this experience I decided to change my way of speaking. I will always be very blunt and boisterous in my writings but not to the extent whereby people get the wrong idea of who I am and am not because I cuss. I think there is some middle ground some where in my brain that I can live with instead of selling my soul to the dark side in life. I will never become quiet nor will I ever give up my power and be submissive to the pious people in the world. Nevertheless, I think I will take a stab at not cussing and being more thoughtful in my speech... but not necessarily polite! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Translation = this paragraph means exactly what I said. As a matter of fact the rest of this post has no translation. So if you do not understand it then just move on to the next post and forget about it.

The other notion, which started to pour fourth liberally, was the thought that time was running out to write my books. You see even if I live to be 130 years old I still would not have enough time to share all my thoughts with the world. I have started on writing two books. One is "When Positive Thinking Does Not Work", which consists of a whole lot of collections of thoughts I have had while living here on planet earth. In addition, and at the same time I am writing another book titled "The Rule Book Ya Should of Gotten When You Were Born" according to Hula Girl. I have been working on both books for years but the fear of failure has kept me from completing them. Both books are based on silliness instead of the seriousness aspects of living on planet earth. In my opinion, I think we have way too many serious self-help books on the shelves now and one more from me would be information over load to some people. However, how many self-help books teach you by example on how to laugh when ya want to cry.
My last reason for the change is that I am trying to turn my negative health problems in to a positive situation by chilling out, kicking back and writing to my hearts content. You see Ladies I have nothing planned for the rest of my life compliments of the free loading friggen Lupus dude who has set up house keeping in my body without my knowledge or consent! So I might as well use my down time to accomplish a goal or two while I am down here... ha ha ha..
I know in order for me to succeed as a writer that I am going to have to clean up my mouth a little tiny bit. Okay don't freak on me... it will not be a lot but just enough to smooth out the roughness in my writings. I am willing to do this in hopes that my silly self-help books will be a pleasure to read for all the pious people in the world! Ha! Ha! Ha!
So that is my story Ladies and I am sticking to it for today! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Now I think I will get back to making my life interesting so you girls will have some thing funny to read and enjoy in my books! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Aloha oye Ladies!

Okay I am confused girls because to me my post up above was to the point and not lashing out at any thing or any one. The whole deal here is that I use the word "hell" and "friggen" again on this one board.
Here are some of the Responces I received from my post that I do not understand can some one please translate for me. I do say doggie from hell alot but how bad is the word "hell" when used like I use it I say wife from hell all the time does that offend any of you girls on this board to? I am almost in tears here and you girls have known me the longest so I value you opinions..... Now do I still cuss a lot after I said I wouldn't? And how am I doing now except for a damn or hell or friggen here or there in my post. I am really trying to clean up my act now. I figure the past is the past I will just have to use other words to get my meaning across in my post.I thought I was doing great these pass few weeks but people still do not like my use of words. Do you girls think I should stop writing all together and go back to pillow making.... because to me the following emails are stupid. But let me know what you girls think about these emails I received after I posted the above post. or email me at ahulagirl@earthlink.net My opininon is I think these girls who wrote the emails below
need some prozac in the worst way.... but maybe I am wrong...

"Leilani,"
"Your extremly long post and the 'translation' of it did sound a bit like you
were lashing out at not only me but iVillage and many others who have spoken
with you in the past about your penchant for swearing!"
"I was not concerned that you had used the word 'hell' but that it seemed
it was going to become a frequently used word - and that is a 'no-no' at
iVillage! I cuss at times too, but I try to not do it on the boards! As to
your 'chick from hell' and my comment after that post - I *was* reminding
you that you had said you wouldn't cuss!!!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dear Leilani,"
"I read, with great shock, your post on the board today. I would suggest that you be careful because it may be a violation of the Terms of Service of iVillage. If sensitivity is not your thing, then there are boards where offensive jokes and controversy are acceptable."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hi Leilani,"
"I've read your post on the board about your wanting to quit cussing. It sounds to me like your "joking" is a coverup for hositlity or anger and I'm wondering what the real problem is."
"Is there something I can do to help you?"
"I read where some one had mentioned to you to please stop using cuss "hell"words on the board. Did that bother you more than you let on?"
"You will see swearing on the board by others occasionally too, but very seldom. It's when someone uses it often that it becomes offensive to some, is against iVillage TOS, and needs to stop. That's the only reason why some one said some thing to you about "hell" I'm sure."
Are you really okay with this? Please tell me what I can do to help.
