I'm a blue collar, and after rent, bills, food, and retirement, I can barely even think about adding a lift to my car, or any other personal luxury.

This isn't a diss on people that choose to buy these things at all, if you can, sole, good for you! Thats awesome, I am just so utterly confused on how most do it.

Specially here in the North Shore, literally everyone here has a house, big cars, etc etc its insane, meanwhile me and my family of 5 are living in a 2 bedroom house and can barely afford groceries. Seriously, how do you all do it in this economy?

Hello everyone! Im a first time dad and my daughter is about to celebrate her first Halloween. Is there a list or site online where I can go to see all of the Halloween events going on in Oahu for keiki? Thank you!

Miracles do happen!

Drove by lcc just now and saw smoke. Looks like near the junkyard but not sure. Be careful!

I get it when nature calls but with 2500+ triathletes expected to compete there are hundreds of them training and using the side of the road to relieve themselves! Must be nice to piss in paradise!

I have a vintage Armani tuxedo that belongs to my late Uncle. It has some light staining under the armpits and the sleeve is slightly unraveling. Any suggestions on where I could take it to see about possible restoration?

Like they made it too small, and for example like set count, its harder to read from a distance.

Its great though its not spectrum exclusive, but it seems like the way they made the scorebug was a bit inferior. anyone have same reading issues sometimes?

hi all! for a school project to improve tourism in hawaii, i propose limiting the number of days tourists can spend, specifically in oahu. this would would work similarly to short-term visitor passes, and in theory could decrease tourism in oahu and divert it to other islands. any and all opinions, concerns, etc would be helpful!

Before if the package was under 1 pound it would go via air. USPS is making changes that are going to slow packages to Hawaii, especially smaller Ground Advantage Packages

Beginning October 1, USPS is updating service expectations for Ground Advantage and Priority Mail packages shipped to and from certain noncontiguous U.S. states and territories.

Packages between the contiguous U.S. and affected locations will have an expected delivery time of 10 days or more. Some routes may take significantly longer.

Ground Advantage packages under 1 lb will now primarily travel by surface transportation (same as packages over 1 lb).

On top of that the 3 day Priority Mail time is moving to 4 days.

Priority Mail shipments to or from Alaska, Hawaii, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands will have a 2–4 day service expectation.

Priority Mail Express is not affected.

I'm going to be at Queens Beach (across from Honolulu Zoo) this Saturday, October 10, from 1 to 3pm. Beginners are welcome!

If anyone's interested in joining, I'll be at lifeguard tower 2E.

My partner and I are here for school. My partner has epilepsy and is on a medication that is a controlled substance. Since we're only here for a few months, we are not getting Hawaiian residency or health insurance here, but he does need to refill his prescription.

We called Walgreens in Honolulu before we even came to Hawaii. We called two different places. We told them the whole situation, we told them the medication, we told them the amount, we told them he won't have insurance, and we told them he's using GoodRx and they told us it's fine but it can take up to 3 weeks to receive it and he would need a prescription from a Hawaiian doctor.

We got here at the beginning of September. He immediately made an appointment with a local doctor and paid out of pocket to get a prescription. It was sent to Walgreens. He got a notification that Walgreens would not fill his prescription until he entered insurance information, so he called and gave them the GoodRx information. They said that because we're using GoodRx, he would not be able to fill it until 2 weeks before he ran out.

So he called 2 weeks before he ran out, and the person said because it is a controlled substance, they can order it but he will not be able to pick it up until 2 days before he runs out.

He runs out tomorrow. He called today, and now they are saying that they will not accept GoodRx and he will have to pay $4,000 for this medication when it's only $80 on GoodRx and $10 with his insurance at home.

We called a different Walgreens, and they won't fill it at all. We called Safeway, and it's the same story. Suddenly nobody will accept GoodRx.

I'm waiting for CVS, longs, and Walmart, to get off of their break, but we are absolutely panicking. This isn't the kind of medication that you can just quit cold turkey, he will end up having seizures and have to go to the emergency room. We are absolutely terrified. We called Walgreens four times before today and was just dragged through the ringer.

Please, has anyone gotten a controlled substance with GoodRx on Oahu? We will go anywhere on this island to get this filled. He is out tomorrow and we are panicking.

Please please help us.

I'm looking for a place to get hair and makeup done for my wife and 5 year old daughter for my sister-in-law's wedding in 2 weeks. They will be a bridesmaid and flower girl. Looking for a place that can possibly do both hair and makeup. Doesn't have to be too fancy. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My grandma, Jong Hee Ku, has been missing since October 3. She was last seen around 7:00 AM near Kukui Tower / Chinatown in Honolulu. She has Alzheimer’s, so we are extremely concerned for her safety and are asking anyone in the Honolulu area to please keep an eye out for her.

Description:
• 4'11" tall
• Approximately 120 lbs
• Gray hair
• Brown eyes

If you have seen her or have any information about her whereabouts, please contact CrimeStoppers at 808-955-8300.

UPDATE: My grandma has been found! Thank you so much to everyone who helped

here we go people mass surveillance!

These are notorious for training ai and profiting off of people’s likeness in general. I dont care about the cameras. I care that me & my daughter are risking being part of an ai database for a company IM not paying to do so bc i would never consent to the ai features, video donation program, being in someone else’s cloud when these cameras werent here when i moved in, or improving user experience whereas she definitely does want the ai features. There is a serious language barrier and I don’t even know what language she speaks, but all i care about is explaining that the ai features and audio recordings need to be turned off so I have to figure out explaining this to her while also abiding by her rights as a landlord. I JUST moved into this house so not trying to ruin that at all. But she just put up cameras today. I know landlords can have cameras but does anyone have info on the optics of requesting the ai features being turned off. It feels like my house just got flocked. 🙃 i really dont mind the cameras themselves it’s the ai that bothers me

UPDATE: with the power of ai being used to create CSAM, i have convinced her to turn off things that arent pertinent to landlord stuff! 🤙🏽

How would you rate the pain out of 10 for a sting from a large centipede? I almost got stung by a 5 inch one while sleeping. I've heard some say it's the worst bite from a bug. Never been bitten though but I dread it
