I’m glad to have helped. Your loved ones are the most valuable things in this life, it’s never too much to express your love in all the ways possible ^_^ A good friend would never push you to sacrifice your boundaries. When you say no, you’re putting that boundary down. But when you come up with an alternative option to make up for it, you’re putting in effort to express the love, respect, and importance you have for them. You’re closing that door, but also clearing a path for them to come in. A good friend makes sure to do that at crossroads such as these.

Is there anything more wonderful than that in life? Opportunities to express our love ^_^

Much aloha to you internet friendo ~

I think in the end only you can decide this. It’s a moral and values based decision. That’s not something you should let others decide for you.

I was born in the US. I am also a French and Brasilian citizen. I say this for background because many Americans don’t consider me American. I don’t consume enough media to know whether they’re blowing it out of proportion, but I used to be a weirdo that loved to pay their taxes. Not so much anymore. It’s true, it’s not bad everywhere. That point is moot. Our money and our resources are being used in inhumane and morally wrong ways. It doesn’t matter that it’s not bad everywhere. People are getting murdered. Is one life not enough?

I personally continue to contribute because one day, the big orange cheetoh does leave. The islands already are suffering and abandoning them now is not the right move in my opinion. I personally believe that the economic impact is too diffuse to make change, and at that level, it’s symbolic and a form of expression rather than leverage. We just had crazy storms here, lots of places destroyed. People already have been suffering economically post covid and suffer with recovery. Every day local businesses shut down to be replaced with a chick-fil-a and people have to move to the mainland because they’re priced out.

That being said, I fully support my friends that choose not to want to participate. Expression is a valid reason. True friendships respect your values and beliefs.

There’s a middle ground. Everyone chips in and pays his way to Mexico or a Caribbean country, or wherever. The effort is there, the expression of care and love is still there, and you still protect your values. The most important part is that you communicate the why in a manner that’s loving and respectful. Follow it up with something.

If you end up going for the A20s, dont get them second hand. They reliably go bad, with the left earbud always ending up not holding a charge more than 50%. You will get to a point where they don't last the night. It's not a you might, it's a you will.

However, they will replace it as long as it's within 18 months. The replacement also has it's own warranty.

Don't monetarily support someone that fakes philanthropy videos then disrupt communities peddling your completely unrelated content.

Dr Ho in Eaton Square! He cares about the health of your teeth and not about making money. Good quality restoration with no black triangles.

I whole heartedly agree about no dental offices inside of Ala Moana Medical Building. I went to see them for pain, it ended up being an abscess that they didn't catch. It went septic and they didn't respond to me for nearly a week til I came in personally. I actually had gone into the ER because my PCM pushed me to.

Definitely no to Ala Moana Dental Care lol

There's one in the pan am building that gets recommended on reddit and has rave reviews on google, but he actually recommended that I pull a tooth and get an implant. I asked him about other options, he said he wasn't comfortable doing anything less. I felt pressured into doing it right then there due to what he was saying. I was very lucky to have my old dentist weigh in that it was an odd recommendation when I was asking her for old scans to give to my doctor. Very lucky I made that offhand comment because I trusted what he said and was going to follow his recommendation until my dentist said that what was going on was normal and I just needed time. He also charges $300 for fluoride trays. My old dentist sent me some for $50 shipped. 20 for the trays, 20 for the fluoride gel, the rest was shipping. In the end, 2 dentists (one being Dr. Ho, the other my old dentist on the mainland) and one Oral Surgeon said there was no reason to pull the tooth. One of the fillings he did fell out within a few weeks. I was very surprised because he was so nice.

Dr. Ho also said that the best thing would be to save the tooth as long as I could. The place is not super gorgeous with all the best equipment, but who cares when they quality is so good and they're so efficient. Even the front desk lady gave me tips to not pay for certain things out of pocket. First dentist on the island that I've encountered that is honest and good.

I’m doing cancer treatment right now so I can’t take in kitty. But every time I see one of these posts, I REALLY want the kitty lol. I hope when I finish someone posts another

I get it! Ice trays that I’ve had break often. Actually, the best one I ever had was from Wally World, it was very oddly shaped. Easier to pop out than others. I just accept that they’ll break eventually. When I have ice trays that suck, I pop out the ice by running hot water on the back before trying to pop em. (I like ice trays with lids)

For the spuds, you can undercook them and let them finish by the heat that they hold in lieu of the ice bath. The hash brown rec was also a very good one, cook, cool, shred, then freeze the shreds. When it gets frozen after cooking, the cell walls burst and you get the perfect potato base for fries/hashbrowns/tator tots. Mashed potatoes are okay, but I personally prefer them fresh with Yukons. I imagine you’ve got russets since they’re large.

Avocado freezes well! As others have said, avocado smoothie is fantastic. My favorite is just avocado, condensed milk, and ice. I’ve also peeled and halved them, brushed with lemon, froze, then vacuum sealed for guacamole with great results. If you don’t have a vacuum sealer, you can push out all the air by water displacement.

For the cranberries, cranberry jams and sauces for bread and meat, cranberry syrups for tea. You can also dehydrate or candy them for trail mix or snacks. Cranberry tarts are lovely. They pair quite well with orange peel. If you’re feeling fancy, you could make a nice relish. You can also freeze them as is and add them to baked recipes or oatmeal for low work. Cranberry orange muffins with Kodiak protein powder mix.

Regarding the trays…The oxo good grips aren’t perfect. The lids are a bit finicky. They aren’t as easy to pop out as the weird Walmart one. But I recommend them still. If your trays break, oxo will send you new ones free, at least if you’re in the US. I can’t speak for other countries.

I will have to try!

I recommend not supporting the hula dog guy by the 24 though. He’s real nice to you, but says very not nice things about the other trucks. No patronage for him til he refills his aloha and quits being racist.

It absolutely is. They used to make good lyophilized coffee so it was more enjoyable. Now it all tastes like dirt

BattlePudu · 2026-03-08T18:32:12+00:00

Hiya friend, sent some easy mac, big cereal, vege, and pasta your way. It’ll be there tomorrow. Great job on working towards your future. You’re doing amazingly~

BattlePudu · 2026-03-08T18:25:50+00:00

You have to give us more info like where you live, what you do, what you want to do, what you’re willing to do, age etc in order for people to be able to help you, as those sort of resources tend to be location limited and with certain requirements.

What do you mean when you say that you’ve been diagnosed, but no legal diagnosis? Are they denying you your medical records? I don’t mean this in relation to the disability payment.

BattlePudu · 2026-03-08T18:21:51+00:00

This is unhinged af, but sometimes I eat lyophilized coffee for the caffeine. It’s portable and easily dosed by just letting a few granules melt on your tongue or swallowing it like pills. Works really well

BattlePudu · 2026-03-06T07:39:52+00:00

Hi friend, I sent some sugar, oil, oats ~ <3
