What Is A Menehune?

mercredi 27 février 2019

I have heard different answers ranging from a sort of Hawaiian leprechaun to it being a term used for laborers. What do the people here say a Menehune is? I'd be interested in your answers.

Does Anone Remember Lucky's Luau?

mardi 26 février 2019

I found this on youtube. I actually remember watching this - a Hawaiian version of The Twelve Days Of Christmas.

Does Anyone Remember The Movie Theater In Waialua ?

When I lived on Oahu as a child '63 - ' 67 there was a movie theater in Waialua where I sometimes went on Saturdays. Across the street was a park with an old steam locomotive sitting on it. People said that it was once used to haul sugar cane from the fields. I remember playing on it with my siblings. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone?

Does Anyone Else Remember "Skipper Al"?

lundi 18 février 2019

As a kid in Hawaii, I would watch a show called "Skipper Al". He would have adventures with his two puppet friends, Jasper & Gramps. I cannot find anything on Skipper Al, but a Google search for Jasper & Gramps turns up a character called "Captain Bob" Cottle. It's the same guy, along with his puppet friends. Why is he called "Captain Bob" when I knew him as "Skipper Al? This one confuses me.

I still remember the other kid's shows that we would watch: Beany & Cecil, Hercules, The Funny Company, and Captain Honolulu. Those were good old days.

Howdy!

I currently live in Tennessee, but spent some childhood years in Oahu. My father spent 30 years in the military and was stationed at Schofield barracks 1963 - 1967. I have many memories of living there and would like to talk to others about those times.
Howdy!

My name is Candace (pronounced can-day-see). I know it's pretty quiet here but I still want to introduce myself in case there are some folks still around looking to connect.

I am originally from St. Louis, Missouri but Hawaii feels like home more than St. Louis ever did. I moved to O'ahu in 2013. I feel deeply grateful to be here.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this community.
Aloha!

unknown #s of kids missing

beyond the trumpuke's destruction of our Nation's Democracy and the end of the Nation it'self we have the sKKKandal of all-time in the purposefully planned disappearing of thousands of brown children by this fraudulent admin. (and their Goebbels mirror in Steven Miller) who now busted are claiming they don't have the $$ to even try to locate these stolen babies. and it's nothing new, these inhuman KKKultists have been doing this for decades with impunity to the point where they are now openly murdering as we watch and expecting us to get over it and support them as the MAGAts they are.
to make it worse we see the media en mass taking a powder on the human crisis of right wing infanticide to focus instead of the BS in Virginia, if the tables were reversed the never right would be screeching til the last child was returned by the Dems or resurrected from their graves. anybody thinking labeling these trump scum as NAZIS is wrong are just as willing to enjoy the innocent blood on their hands as trump and his sycophant evangelical death dealers.

Really dead

lundi 4 février 2019

This place is really dead.

but it's a good place to vent.
Really dead

Taxi vs ride share????

Both collect money for a ride.
So what is the difference between the two????
Why do taxis need to follow rules, the ride shares don't????
Do ride shares have the same insurance that taxis have????
Do ride shares need a PUC license like taxis do???

Seems to me ride shares have an unfair advantage over taxis.
Taxi vs ride share????

minimum wage????

So the stupid government wants to raise the minimum wage.
It will get the lots of votes from the stupid people.

But who is going to pay for it????
Business is not going to take the hit.

Most are just getting by a it is.
They will just cut hours, fire workers, and raise prices.

So now you have more people out of work, or working less hours, and things will cost more.
If things cost more, people will spend less.

When people spend less, business make less.

Many will just close, putting more people out of a job.
What about those who have worked hard for many years, so they could get more get paid more than minimum wage????
Won't they expect a raise too.
They worked for it, so they deserve it.
government wants everyone to get paid a living wage.
Hotel workers went on strike to get a living raise.
They got it.
Their pay is $28 an hour, for the lower workers.
How is the government $15 a living wage, when hotel workers living wage is $28??????
Minimum wage is suppose to be the base, starting pay.

Not something to live on.

If you are to stupid, or to lazy, to improve yourself, who's fault is that????

They should lower the minimum wage. Eliminate the tax on food and health care.
Make it a requirements you have to work to get welfare.

Take away "lifetime" welfare.
minimum wage????

homeless

How many homeless really want to work to get off the streets????
How many of them have fried their brains, and will never be able to work?????
How many are just happy living in the parks, and getting free hand outs from everyone?????
How many are from out of state that came here just for the free ride????
How many are "chronics" that just don't care????

Why should these "people" be helped????

Why is it taxpayers problem?????
I'm all for helping those who are will to work to help themselves, but majority of the homeless are just free loaders, chronics, and lost causes.

our government spends more on homeless, chronics, and prisons, than education.

Doesn't anyone see something wrong with that??????
homeless

Tourist money????

We've had a record number of tourist coming here.

Clogging up the roads.
Messing up the trails and beaches.
Trespassing because they want to.
Just making everything a mess.

So where is all the money they are bringing in??????
government wants to raise taxes again, but if we're having a record number of tourist, we should be getting a record amount of money coming in.
Where is that money??????
Tourist money????

Stupid voters

We have the most stupid voters in the nation.
Dams have been in power forever, and things are only getting worse.
Highest cost of living.
Highest taxes.
Taxes on everything.
Monopoly on power, water, fuel.

Worse roads in the country.
Poor education and classrooms.
Poor teachers.

Highest homeless population.
government controlled by the unions.

Major drug problem, that government doesn't talk about.
Major Sex trafficking ,that government doesn't talk about.

High crime rate, that government hides from the people.

They tell us tourism is way up, but still want to raise taxes.
Where is all the tourist money going????
Rail that will never be self sufficient, is double the cost so far, and majority of the high positions are from out of state.

How is that helping our people????
Less than half on the politicians were born here.

dams trying to turn Hawaii into another kakafonia.

Stupid people here just keep on voting in the same party.

How do they expect any change when one party is in control????
And they wonder why locals are leaving the state.

When are people going to wake up and vote for a change???

Instead of putting the same "followers" in office.
Stupid voters

Scottish Bangers

I think they were sold be Redondo's.

Haven't seen them around for a while.

Last time I had them was at Hungry Lions.

Last time I bought them at a store was from Marukai.
Anyone know if you can still get them?????

why did the RAMS get out of bed?

dimanche 3 février 2019

lol they could have done as well asleep under the sheets for Super Bowl bust Lll, what an embarrassment to both teams, they just stunk. in the 4th qtr. I finally saw a bit of blood on a uniform, maybe a bad hang nail... it's been 20yrs since I really watched an NFL ball game cos of the massive devolution from old school gritty excitement, no class to be found on the field or in the booth, all the racist owners, showboating players minus a lick of unique physical personality, and the last ever I'll waste my time with unless I find an electric football game to play lol
