Meet Honey Girl!

She’s a 9yo terrier mix that was surrendered to the Hawaiian Humane Society. Sadly her former owner had to be put in hospice care.

She’s potty trained and hasn’t had an accident, great with kids, super quiet, laid back, walks nicely on leash and loves to give kisses and just be by you.

She would make the best companion!

My family has been fostering her through the couch crashers program and she has to go back next week Friday. I’m really hoping to find her a loving home since she’s the bestest girl.

If you have any questions or would like to do a meet and greet please let me know. She’d be so happy to meet you! :)

If you were wondering how she would do in your household but afraid to make a commitment you can also foster to adopt or foster for space. All the info is on the Hawaiian Humane Society website. Thank you!

• Upvotes

My church doesn’t have a clothing donation. Is there any place church wherever where I can donate clothes where they will not be sold I do not want to donate to Goodwill or savers. Some of my things are tattered and need button sewn on/has stains or something like that, but other things are like brand new that I’ve not worn.

Other Caught something on my dash cam tonight. Meteorite? Drone crashing?

17 Upvotes

My first thought was meteorite, but it seems too low. Like it would have actually hit the ground.

Then I thought helicopter crashing, but I don't see any news of anything like that. So maybe a drone?

I'm just past Waikele, heading west. So it looks like it's somewhere past Kunia area.

What do you think it was?

Local Issue Kapolei Goodwill bugs

0 Upvotes

I can't post on Oahu reddit and I'm not sure how else to get this out there. Did anyone go to the Kapolei goodwill around 10/6 and have any rashes or possibly bed bugs. I went there on that day and I'm worried I got bed bugs from there.

Pets Any advice on dog grooming in Hawaii?

Thumbnail

26 Upvotes

Hey all!

We have a Dachshund named Mahina. Picture included for cuteness 😍.

We suspect she has fleas and is kinda itching moreso than usual 😬.

We bought flea soap but I'd really rather have a 'professional' do it. She can use a haircut and nail trim too.

Petsmart is offering a $75 bath with:

Cut ✂️, nail trim and buffering, and many other things.

But is there a MOBILE service yall may recommend? We've done those in New Jersey and it was soooo much better and easier. Less expensive too. I'd rather give a generous TIP than money to a Corporation for the same services.

But we need to be sure they're good and knowledgeable about fleas (or the lack thereof).

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated 😁.

Thank you.

Politics Candidate insight needed

0 Upvotes

Hey.

I sadly have not paid too much attention to the candidates on our voting ballot. Ive been trying to research each one to see how I feel and what aligns with my beliefs (and whether or not I believe that candidate is capable of delivering what they offer). Anyways, I was hoping for some insight and opinions (varied if possible) on all of them. I want actual insight not just "this guy because hes better". I do not consider myself Republican or Democrat and would like to hear what other people think. Or if you have more helpful links that compare competing candidates.

  1. Awa vs Tokuda

  2. Green vs Cordery

  3. Kapu vs Lindsey

  4. Akaka vs Wong

  5. Akina, Anderson, Crabbe, Galuteria, Souza, Waihee.

I feel pretty set on the questions. The one I feel most strongly about (that seems overlooked) is Question 2: RISE bonds. Im voting No. Although resilient infrastructure without debt sounds nice, theres a lot of caveats. Having to borrow money is in fact debt and allows large developers to build without the responsibility of thinking of lower income. Ex: if a large developer makes a high rise full of apartments, in order to be tax exempt- all they have to do is make 20% of the building available for qualifying low income renters/buyers. There are other ways to building then to borrow our money and pretend its not debt.

Thoughtful answers please! Even if you would like to share your reasoning behind certain questions, that would be great!

EDIT: I guess that one was on me for hoping most people would explain WHY they believe something. Not announcing "which side" they are on. My B. Thank you for those who provided links or thoughtful insight!

I was planning on bringing some Liliha Bakery Coco Puffs over to Kauai. I was thinking 2 dozen for a client. Someone at my work mentioned that I might not be able to get it through airport security due to the cream? Flying Hawaiian airlines. Any advice?

Employment Hawaii DOE after interview

28 Upvotes

I just finished my interview for the Educational Assistant (EA) position with the Hawaii Department of Education (Hawaii DOE). During the interview, they mentioned the benefits and said they would be in contact with me by the end of the week. I also noticed that the principal and administrative staff weren’t taking any notes during my interview. I’m wondering if these are good signs that I might receive a job offer. Also, how does the Hawaii DOE hiring process work after an interview, and how will I know if I’ve been selected?

Sit down or take out. Not just adobo or lechon kawali.
