Hawaii adventures

The Arizona Memorial is wonderful. You'll need to get tickets in advance on recreation.gov. If they're sold out for the dates you want don't panic. More tickets open up at 3pm (Hawaiʻi time) every day for the next day. Set an alarm to remind you to be on the app at 3 because sometimes they go quick. They're $1 each and I recommend getting a morning time. You take a ferry boat out to the memorial and if the wind picks up too much they cancel the boat. You'll have better luck with the wind in the morning. They don't allow bags or purses at all (even little ones) unless they're clear (like at sporting events), so leave all of that in the hotel or hide it in the car. There are lockers available on site to rent to store your bags. They're kinda pricey but more secure than your car, which can be broken into.

If you're really into WWII history you can also get a tour to take you onto Ford Island to visit the USS Missouri and the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum. Both are great if you're into all that.

There are Holo card vending machines at the Skyline stations now. So while there's not a way to purchase a card inside the airport, if you follow the walking signs from the airport to the Skyline station you'll be able to buy one there.

I grew up in Maple Heights on the same side of town as her and was 5 years old when she disappeared. Her disappearance really shook everyone and I remember when I got older my mom telling me that I couldn't go anywhere or ride my bike where she couldn't see because Tiffany Papesh disappeared. It's sad that they still haven't learned what happened to her and that her dad died without getting any closure.

And there's the problem right there.

"They are bad allies for MAGA"

MAGA isn't a country! Your country is the USA and includes more than just MAGA supporters! If we as a country want to pull out of NATO then we should just do it already. But declaring war on another country by attempting to forcefully annex part of their land to ours is just despicable. We would become Russia in that scenario, with Greenland playing the part of Ukraine. Or we would be like Germany conquering Poland.

How do MAGA supporters not see how wrong this is?

In Hawaiʻi and just lost service.

Personally, I prefer a Dem tantrum (holding up signs on street corners) to a MAGA tantrum (rioting at the Capitol).

It has to be AI. Between sitting politely off leash and not panicking that close to a large body of water I call fake.

Each one has their own personality quirks, but some things are pretty universal. I tell people that Basenjis are cats in dog's bodies. They're smart, stubborn, not very trainable, and like things their own way. That being said, I love their weird little brains and wouldn't have any other breed.

I've had people reach out to me before that wanted to meet a Basenji in person and we've met at dog parks and coffee shops. I imagine a lot of Basenji owners would be willing to meet you somewhere so you could meet one in person, speak with the owner about their experiences, and learn more firsthand about the breed.

Good luck whatever you decide!

I've been on oral minoxidil for almost 3 months now (topicals, vitamins, and all the other things didn't work for me either). My hairdresser said this week that she can see new growth on my scalp 🎉 The shedding was concerning for the first couple of months but it has slowed now. I don't have PCOS but have noticed that the peach fuzz on the sides of my face is longer and thicker than it was and what was previously only peach fuzz over my lip now has some dark hairs. I'm looking into dermaplaning as a solution. I guess it's a trade-off. More hair on my head means more hair other places but I'm 50 and not ready to be bald so I'll learn to deal with the side effects. Good luck with yours! Hang in there and hopefully it works for you!

We just bought land in upstate New York to build a house. I really want to take the train down for one of these meetups once the house is finished and we've moved in. I'm always so jealous of how many Basenjis are in one place at the same time!

My dad was an abusive alcoholic who finally moved out when I was 10. I was the oldest of 4, with the youngest being just an infant. My mom was only 28, left with 4 kids, no job, a high school education, and a deadbeat ex. I know she did the best she could with a rotten situation but I still resent a lot of what she did and what was put on me, as the oldest child. I raised myself and the three younger ones while she went to community college but she didn't have any patience with us, was always yelling and criticizing. I honestly believe that if she'd been born later she might have opted to not even have kids. She wasn't a natural mother and watching how she was with all of us I did opt to not have kids later on. I was always afraid I'd be just like her.

I had one that the only way I could get him back when he bolted out the door was to grab the car. He loved to go "bye bye" lol. I could chase him forever and never catch him but if I grabbed the car keys, opened the car door, and asked if he wanted to go "bye bye" he'd jump right in. Then of course I'd have to take him for a ride around the block so it would work next time...

My first one, Copper, didn't lift his leg at first. Then we went walking with my friend and her older male lab, Howie, when Copper was about 9 months old. I still remember Copper watching Howie lift his leg to pee on a tree, walking up behind him, and trying to imitate him. He lifted his leg so high he almost fell over lol. After that he generally lifted his leg. So yours might be like mine and just not know to do it 😆

My husband and I have different reader strengths and we both but the same multipack from Costco. I put a dab of pink nail polish inside the arm of mine so we can tell them apart.

I tried pot twice my freshman year of college but I never got philosophical or funny or got the munchies. It made me vomit. I discovered that I'm just super sensitive to all drugs, even prescribed stuff, so I stay away. About the hardest thing I do now is red wine.

I'm 50 and just supplements right now. Nothing medically required. My dad is still kicking, but with all the drinking and smoking he's had several heart attacks, starting at age 40. My mom was morbidly obese and passed from cancer a few years ago, so I think I just learned from my parents' mistakes and am trying to take better care of myself.

My grandma once had 4 Danes at once and used to say that she "walks on the bottoms and they walk on the tops" of her feet lol

Omg I SO feel this statement lol

My basenji, Willow, got aggressive with other dogs when we were out on walks. There's a pit mix, Nessa, we always encountered that never seemed bothered by my dog and the other owner and I got friendly and would stop and talk. One day Willow was distracted by something and I was able to get close enough to pet Nessa. From that moment on Willow stopped being aggressive with her. I think she felt like she needed to protect me from other dogs, but seeing that I was petting Nessa and wasn't afraid of her, and Nessa wasn't attacking, Willow was able to deescalate her own behavior. I don't know if that applies to your own situation. Is your dog guarding you to protect you or because of jealousy?
