I don't know if there is an official name for it, but I'm looking for one of those things where people in need put wishes on a tree and you can take one and fulfill it. Has anyone seen something like on Oahu around the holidays?

Can't actually believe it. But, sad. Make sure to visit it before the end of the year.

I’m a 21 yr old guy with a job, going to college. I’ve got tattoos got big plans for the future. Hell I even ride motorcycles as a hobby and love exercising but it feels like finding an amazing girl to spend time with is pretty tough, especially here on Oahu. How does one meet new ppl without getting hammered at a bar or going to raves doing drugs and shit unless I’m doing something wrong?

So without telling da internet my life story, basically someone made cos report, and kept telling me it won't list me as da one who made da report but won't explain what's on the report???? They said they one "mandated reporter" and I'm so confused and lost, I wanna know if there gonna be some fucker knocking on my door.

This is interesting, https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/09/t-magazine/lei-makers-flower-design.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Are there any rescue shelters available to take in a domesticated boar? He is currently on the big island , it's owners are willing to transport it anywhere . Mahalo in advance for any info

I've been having some trouble with my landlord (the company we pay rent to).

Besides having to hand deliver a cashier check each month on or before the 1st down in Honolulu which is super annoying.. we have been submitting trouble ticket emails, texts, and phone calls and our issues have not been getting addressed or repaired.

1. Washer and Dryer were old and stopped working. We were told they would not be replacing it. This was in the rental agreement. We bought our own, but the washer and dryer have been left in the garage for weeks while they 'figure out what to do with it', while it takes up a car spot..

2. Our master bathroom sink faucet broke. Not only does it not turn off, the handle is completely broken. So we had to turn off the hot water to the sink. This means I have to shave in the guest bathroom.

3. Our downstairs toilet was "ghost flushing" a couple times a day. The handyman 'fixed' it, but now it ghost flushes 2 or 3 times an hour and leaks everywhere. We were told to just turn the water off to the toilet and not use it. It's been over a month.

4. The roof was leaking during all the rain. So we report and and my wife crawls into the attic and puts my car wash bucket down to catch the water. So now I can't wash my car.

5. Some smaller issues like a ceiling fan not working correctly.

I normally let me wife handle most of the conversations since I am a bit rough around the edges. I submit a formal notification of the above issues and the response was, "We have to find someone else as our handyman is too busy."

Too busy???

None of these seem to be "emergent" so I don't think we can hire outside repair and deduct $500 from rent.. but we'd like to ask if there is anything else we can do? Not having a downstairs bathroom and not having a working master bathroom sink is quite frustrating..

I can’t find any information on when permits will be available again other than from August campgrounds being closed for the storm

/tropical

Looking forward to spotting humpbacks soon...is there a local sort of facebook group or app that tracks recent sightings so I could get a heads up if they happen to be in my area?

On another sub, reading some comments about the Aleutian Islands chain, there is some good bar trivia type of facts about these islands.

• Aleutian Islands stretch to make Alaska the northernmost, westernmost AND easternmost state in the U.S.
• Alaska was invaded by Japan during the war, occupying one of these islands. The battle of Attu was one of the bloodiest, 2nd to Iwo Jima, but lesser-known battles in WWII Pacific.
• The Hawai'ian Islands stretch toward (almost to?) the Aleutians, so while Alaska is the northernmost state, and Hawai'i the southernmost, Alaska is the closest state to Hawai'i.

So that got me onto Google Earth looking again at the northern part of the island chain, the "Northwestern Hawaiian Islands." These islands, not including Midway, a separate territory, are apparently part of Honolulu County.

It's a fun read about all these Islands and I'm curious to know more, as they're rarely talked about (in what I see, at least), being pretty far off the population center island group.

So who goes to these islands and how? I assume sailors visit them, scientists and fisherman. From what I'm finding, there are no permanent residents and it's a nature preserve.

Have you or anyone you've talked to visited or spent time there?

Hey all, anyone recommended a place that serves pasta with a wheel of cheese?

Hey everyone just found out that Rella is back!

Download the app Live365 and search for Rella on the Radio.

I remember Rella saying she was thinking of doing a podcast. Can’t wait to listen next week…..

Anyone else experiencing an internet outage Spectrum? According to their site, it’ll be resolved by 10:30pm tonight.

I am looking for a tarot reader on Oahu. Any recommendations. TIA.

Does anyone follow any local Youtubers? (any category) I'm trying to find new things to have on in the background while I translate (besides music and the news)

Specifically to make nigiri/sushi at home

I don’t know if only one year is enough, I hope so. Thank you in advance.

Hello, I have been working on the genealogy of King Kamehameha. on one line through the wife of Kanipahu of the big island, a chief named Paunui'ikeanaina shows up as the 21st generational ancestor. on the Main line of the Maui kings there is a discrepancy between who are in the generations between paukei and Mauiloa. on https://www.mauiculture.net/mookuauhau/ there are 7 generations inbetween this and because of that, on the Main lineage of the Maui kings which Kamehameha descends, Paunui'ikeanaina comes up as the 32nd generational ancestor. in other accounts there are just 3. this is because of a man named Alo. I was wondering what was true or not, but now I have figured out what was wrong. looking at generations, I disappointingly must say Mauiculture net may be mistaken. King Alo was also known as Alau. his name was the same as another (most likely) and I think that is where the discrepancy started from.

I can also now confirm that the genealogy of the Maui kings on wikipedia is correct

Hoping this wonderful rainy season will nurture yummy mushrooms. Do we even have wild mushrooms on Oahu?

My girlfriend and i just caught a Malnourished kitten thats been in front of her job alone for at least 5 days.

We’re gonna give him some wet food and water but after that we have no idea what to do. We need some advice/help

Edit: we cannot keep him ourselves, we will be traveling later this month back and forth. looking to find him a home where is he safe.

Edit: We found someone who responsible and knowledgeable who took it thanks to one of the comments. Thanks you everyone for the help.

A family member of mine is looking to buy one for their part time job as parking is a bit of a hassle, but can't seem to find anywhere on the island that will sell.

Does anyone have any recommendations on a good Model and company that will also ship to Kauai?

Thanks!

I keep looking at the suburban sprawl of Ewa Beach and Kapolei and wonder why are there no tall buildings like in Honolulu? Getting ready to move back to the islands and it’s just one of those things I keep seeing in housing. No 30 story apartment outside of Honolulu? Is the land not good for it? With the light earlier out there I can believe developers are only building sprawling community.
