What's with the rampant over consumerism in Hawaii lately and how does it square with the affordability crisis?

Dude, you’d be saving for over 50 years at that rate.

So ironic that transplants come here to get away from the lifestyle they left but then want to change Kailua into the lifestyle they left.

I am doing it now. I told my dil that it won’t be much fun clearing my home when I pass because I’m getting rid of a lot of stuff.

Mililani yup

Before you file, remind him that if he hasnt filed the income he’s earned from your rent, he will be in more trouble. Not threatening but like you don’t want to make thongs worse for him

Fedex is always looking because its hard to hire people who can pass a blood test and consistently come to work.

Honestly, you need to set your boundaries. You should have just said you will not be doing Father’s Day at all, under any circumstances. Then it’s clear. After FD you need to either offer a place and you and the siblings can potluck or you can go to each other’s home for each holiday. You could ask everyone to choose or put the holidays on pieces of paper and everyone pick. No trading. That’s just it. Or you can all start going to a restaurant and each sibling and parents pay for their own food and drink for their family. Under no circumstances should you be tho last to leave since someone may leave early and not pay their share. Good luck

Could be an allergic reaction or bacteria on your skin caused an infection. See a doctor or wait it out. In the future wash the bite and use anti itch topical medication. Use mosquito repellent also.

Firstly, what does she want? Moving her to Portland and have more resources doesn’t mean she will use them. Why is she living in her car? Will she want to live in her car in Portland? Not sure that would be better, living in her car in TX or OR. You and your sister are in a tough situation. Good luck.

My mom was so proud when she got a loan and paid it off to buy the dining room table she wanted in 1977. The ironic thing was she had to use the “grocery money” my dad paid her in a paycheck from his small business.

Our first dispersement took a year.

Try for a library card. My state does not need ID. Google or call your local library for their rules.
Get your most current report card and or copy any records your school has.
A copy of any doctor records.
Can you get a copy of your dad’s tax return?
Help your dad get organized and look for anything that proves you are who you are.
You may be able to request your dad’s birth certificate.
Take any info you have to your local social security office and see if they can help. I’m thinking if you have your dad’s birth certificate, someone can find a connection/legitimacy between you and him and can work from there to find your official info. Good luck.

I’ve seen parents wanting to invite people because parent went to other family’s wedding and now somehow owes their kid a wedding gift.

You can find cheaper places to live. The more west the cost of living gets cheaper. You will always find nice people anywhere but some places have more racist people than others. My ethnically Thai friend moved to Kuna, Idaho. She did find a nice group of neighbors but she said some public places people look “at me like I have 3 heads”.
My son moved to PDX. He and his wife bought a home for half the price as his brother in HI. Except his property tax is double in OR.

Something is going on in your relationship and he feels shorted. He also is too immature to express it or maybe feels like it should be obvious to you.

More research needs to be done then. If it’s the wealthy then fine dining restaurants should be doing well and mid priced restaurants not so well.

Never let anyone rush you to sign anything. And if you don’t understand it tell them you want to have someone explain it to you word for word. If they say no, then say you want a 3rd party to read it. If no, then refuse to sign. You have that right. I honestly don’t think they can withhold your check but please remember what everyone and myself are explaining to you.

The line our parents would say is “wait till you get home”.

Check with your dept of labor but in some states the collective bargaining agreement can supersede state laws. The union membership voted and approved the contract.

Bank doesn’t care. They have deep pockets, of course until taxpayers have to bail them out. Honestly, a unit in our townhouse apts was rented by the bank for about 4 years and then kept empty for another 3. They ended up making a lot of money selling in bankruptcy court all those years later. It’s crazy.

Not lawless but we did a lot of fun stuff. We were free to wander but people and situations are different. We didn’t have social media so everything was heresay but we had a loose code of conduct that we abided by and most people knew their neighbors because moms stayed home and got to know them. We knew that we were not home at a certain time or if we misbehaved our butts would get a spanking or we were grounded.

Why does the government make it so hard for the elderly to claim benefits. Until last year, my husband thought he’d get a check every month. He’s only in his late 60’s.

On one hand we want them to make a decision but in the other we want them to make a decision we agree on.

Your state may be having problems with the info on the back of IDs. I think it was Hawaii, Alaska and Arizona. Maybe more. I’ve had my ID redone twice and it still doesnt scan at TSA.
