I will be transferring from UHM to ASU (online). Obviously I can’t stay in the dorms anymore. Kalo Terrace is a wreck. Don’t even get me started on Hale Mahana (been there, done that, hated it, was lucky to get out of my lease 6 months in). And the YMCA is crazy expensive.

To be honest with you, Ive been living with my aunt and cousin (who moved in with us after finishing college in Oregon) the past few years since I moved from LA in Kaimuki. I’d preferrably would like to live nearby in Diamond Head, Wilhemenia Rise, Kapahulu, or even Kahala (though I hear housing tends to a bit more pricier down there) so I can check up on them every now and then (if there’s an emergency id be nearby) I could continue living with my Aunt and cousin but the house I’m currently living in isn’t that big, there’s only two bedrooms and I sleep on the couch most of the time (which I don’t necessarily have a problem with, just that it’s small and it sometimes hurts my back). I’ve been posting and asking on Facebook but every time I do I either get spam or get messages from suspicious people (I know what a scam looks like). Are there like any other outlets I go to (and that aren’t outdated by like 5 years and say that they’re in Waikiki)? Max I’m willing to pay in rent is somewhere around $1100, I’ll probably house with roommates.

I’m sitting outside of C&C Caninets where, on the advice of this sub and my drywall guy, I’ve ordered a new bathroom cabinet. Now, where do I look for a faucet? I want some style and quality. There’s a plumbing supplies store somewhere. Is that where I should go or somewhere else? Also, I have to renovate another bathroom in the near future. I wanted to have some pizzaz! I painted the kitchen cabinets in a really old (like, 1930s) kitchen in Kaimuki and they look great. I don’t have any 95 year old cabinets available in my current home. Where could I get quality unfinished cabinets?

Anyone know where in the world the get their “Korean” sauce?

Beautiful solid koa wood 5 drawer dresser, curious as to the value before I decide if I want to part with it.

Anyone know? Or is it just coincidence? Looks like they both shut down around the same time. Not sure about the other locations

Another attempt of a federal nationwide abortion ban has been introduced in congress again (last one was 2015 and it didnt pass) How would Hawaii react to it. I’m scared of a federal nationwide abortion ban overwriting state law.

Aloha, I am nearing retirement, and I would love to own and store a car on the mainland (ideally Oregon or Washington). How do I register the car on the mainland? Is this even possible? I would be willing to travel to any state that would allow this. I do not want to ship a car over. I would have to ship it back to renew the registration in order to do the safety check here in Hawaii. My dream is to have a car I own stored on the mainland so I can visit often and do some serious road trips. Mahalo for your advice.

Anyone know why traffic is so bad heading from Pearl City to town tonight?? Taking 40 minutes to go 4 miles outside of rush hour is crazy (it’s 10 pm at the time of posting this)

I’ve been buying geek bars for a while now and I’ve realized they have been harder to find recently. I’ve heard from a few people that they’re getting banned. Is this true? If so does this count towards all disposables?

Anyone have any intel on the new construction at the old Waipio Outback Steakhouse? I'm curious to know what restaurant (if any) is going in and when we can expect it to open. I can't find anything online about this.

Does anyone know if Iolani and Mid-Pac have any supports in place, such as special ICT classes or executive functioning classes for teens in high school with learning differences, such as ADHD? And if so, would you mind sharing your experiences? Are they the type of schools who try to counsel our these types of students or are they supportive? Are there any private schools in Hawaii that anyone would recommend that are not schools specifically for kids with learning differences like Assets, but just are "regular" schools that have strong supports in place? Any insight would be much appreciated.

I don’t know if any of you have heard this song or would even know why it’s gone, but I just went to go listen to it today and I saw that it wasn’t in my playlist so I searched it on Spotify and yup, it’s gone.

When I tried to see if it was just Spotify, I saw that this song is also not available if you click the sound on tiktok videos.

This song was soooo good, from Hawaiian Soljah’s voice to Mark’s chants so I’m curious as to why it might’ve been deleted

I know a common mistake people make is using an apostrophe instead of an ʻokina, but I’ve noticed different characters being used on websites.

Which one is correct?

• Hawaiʻi
• Hawai'i
• Hawai`i

Or are all of these acceptable?

Depending on what University of Hawaiʻi associated webpage you're looking at, some sites use (ʻ), while others use (').

These are the most commonly used ones—I rarely see (`), but I still come across it from time to time.

Also, just to clear things up before I get downvoted into oblivion—I’m not some haole or a journalist from the mainland trying to write an article. I’ve just seen the ʻokina typed in different ways and wanted to know if all three are valid or if some are incorrect. Mahalos!

We keep hearing loud unusual rumble noises in Kalama Valley but hard to tell where they are coming. Bunch of neigbors also heard these noises. Anyone know what's causing this. I would normally think its airplanes but they last for several minutes and we are pretty far from the airport.

Aloha, I am searching for a civil rights lawyer who might be interested in taking on a case involving the insurance company and the local government here. This has to do with both of these entities violating the healthcare and human rights of the mothers and babies in the Hawaiian island chain. Myself, and my colleagues collectively have quite a bit of evidence to show the medical harm, pain and suffering that this has caused, we have plenty of evidence. Then there is the Porter issue of the harm and permanent damage that is done to the communities by withholding this vital healthcare. This has been going on for a few years now, They have been actively breaking the law by not providing certain services that they are legally obligated to provide under multiple different pieces of legislation at this point.

Please let me know if you have any leads, we are all getting very desperate at this point, and I think a lawsuit would be the best option moving forward. Mahalo for your time and consideration!

Aloha all,

It's hard to make new friends once you're all grown up. And it's even harder when you're busy bringing home the bacon, taking the kiddos to soccer practice and keeping the house fixed up, etc, etc.

So I was thinking about starting a once a month meet-up for busy dads to make new friends and share stories, etc.

Let me know your thoughts or if that is something you might be interested in joining. Also feel free to just shoot me a DM if you want to stay informed.

Hoping this find you all well and not fighting a leaking roof!

Peace,

Joe

P.S. I'm on Oahu but if anyone on another island wants to start a group that would be fun. We could all get together sometime.

I’m trying to find more info on this, bc I’m not sure who the protest coordinators are. Please list any info you know and let’s get a good turn out and put our voice out there.

I am a student, and there has been a sickness spreading around similar to the common cold. Stay safe

Hi friends, any recommendations for a bank with branches both in HI and mainland (esp in MA, CA, and/or NC)?

Hey all, I recently moved out here to be closer to my ohana, and just got hit by another driver. He acknowledged it was his fault. Thankfully, it was a minor accident. We both have State Farm and exchanged insurance info…but how does this work in Hawaii? We both pay our deductibles even though I wasn’t at fault? And then BOTH of our premiums go up?

Play TLC

You know how I know it's really rainy?
I saw a guy wearing a rain jacket!!

One thing that keeps me from totally blending in is my tendency to dress for rain like I'm still in the Bay Area. Why am I the only one at Manoa Marketplace walking in the rain in a parka and umbrella? Why am I the only one not in Hokas, a rash shirt and running shorts?

I should go outside in the rain w/ my mainland-style rain gear.

Consumer tip: Wind resistant umbrellas have one major flaw: The prolly may not flip inside out, but the rain hits you from the side and you get wet anyway. But the umbrella stays pretty.
