Know anyone hiring immediately?

I moved into a nice house and have made it work for 3 months. I want to keep going. I have income from making websites but it is inconsistent. Some months are fat, others are lean.

I am open to work in a restaurant, a resort, a shop, clean houses, wash cars. Anything really. I have been looking and applying on CraigsList, Indeed. Need to try LinkedIn next. The thought of Reddit popped in my head. “You never know until you try.”

I’ve had to navigate a lot of obstacles since the Maui fires but I’m not giving up now, I feel at home out here.

Please and thank you.

Zuck's new guard tower and security harassing beachgoers at Pila'a

So the other day I went down Pila'a to the right to cruise and fish etc and Zuckerberg has a new guard tower by the Marvins old house and is paying some young boy to harass anyone down there.

Guy comes over and starts asking me what I'm doing down there, do I live here etc.

Told him mind his own business and go tell his boss to f**k off. Figured the dogs and the fishing gear might be a giveaway about what I was doing at the beach?

Talked to a friend who had the same thing happen to her, aggro vibes and kinda creepy for a girl on her own who's trying to get some exercise on a public beach.

Anyone like go party down there and camp for a few days? Maybe burn some old tires when it's blowing north wind?

Kaua'i Based Weekly Show! Ever wanted to hear the upcoming events and important information for Kaua'i in a video/podcast format? Our nonprofit is doing just that.

You ever feel like larger news corporations only cover Oahu based news? Like we're all left out?

Or even, there are so many different accounts to follow it can be impossible to keep track of all of the events?

Watch our show that we produce! Available at the links below :)

Island hopping (11/2-11/3)

E Aloha neighbors! I live O’ahu and was planning to hop over to Kauai this weekend to do some hikes but I am kinda second guessing bc of the rain we’ve been getting here on O’ahu. How’s it over on Kauai right now? Is it flooding at all? Would hiking still be do-able this weekend?

We specifically wanted to do some waterfalls and some of the Kalalau trail (not camping) just to get an idea of the terrain before eventually planning a camping trip. However, if it’s been getting drenched I might have to pass for now. I just have ants in my pants bc it’s been 6 years since I’ve been to the beautiful garden isle 😅

Edit 1: also, if anyone can has good recc’s for longboard surf spots it’d be much appreciated

Edit 2: We decided not to go! Thanks for the info everyone (:

PROTESTS IN HAENA TODAY

Today in Hā’ena a septic system was attempted to be installed over sacred iwi in the area, A group of Hawaiians tried to stop the construction from being under way but where subsequently told to vacate the area and where even arrested. Should the culture and a sacred burial ground be disregarded for a vacation rental home, most definitely not, HEWA. What should the next step be and should this project move forward even with strong objection from the Hawaiian community. When is enough enough and when will the Hawaiian culture will stop being disrespected, and our ancestors can lay to rest peacefully.

Aloha all, can anyone help me find the name of the pastor on the radio who preaches in pidgin?

About a year ago I was on the radio and came across this very lively pastor, giving his sermon in full on pidgin. He was speaking so passionately I could not stop listing. Anyways, just thought I could use some of his message right now, and was hoping someone could help me find out where to tune in. Mahalo Much.

Another Amazon post... everything I look at buying is 3-4 weeks out even with Prime. Anyone else experiencing this?

Most items I am looking at now are projecting an ETA of November 5.

I know the main Hawaii subreddit has had a number of Amazon complaint posts recently but I am not sure how relevant they are to Kauai, since most people there are in O'ahu/Honolulu.

I live in Kapahi and for about the past month Amazon has become unpalatable with how long the projected delivery times are. I have essentially stopped ordering (going from ordering nearly every day, so I'm saving a lot of money I guess).

Is anyone else experiencing this? It makes me wonder if my account/address has been shadowbanned. I need some validation.

Place to donate a non-op car on island?

Hello! I am trying to help my dad move off the island. He has a car with a dead battery that has been sitting for a couple years. We would like to donate the car somewhere or have someone come pick it up and take it. We can't locate the title yet.

Does anyone know someone who would come and take the car? We would love it to be donated if possible but if not any option will work. Thank you so much.
