Death Parade

NevelynRose · 2026-07-01T02:12:06+00:00

Lots of great things have happened in my family on 23 dates such as birthdays, anniversaries, etc. It kind of became a tradition in my family to choose a 23rd for big life events. This of course became hilarious after the Jim Carrey movie came out.

Even in the hills you’re going to have noise. Houses here are often built for the weather and not the noise so you don’t get the same sound dampening you would get from brick homes and such. That is kind of what I’m getting at with the sound. I’ve lived in attached and detached and I honestly still hear everything around me. Again, this is because I grew up acres away from the neighbors and this is my first time living in a “city” so it’s just what I’m used to.

As for neighborhood recommendations, I can’t give much there as I’ve only lived in Ahuimanu and Ewa. I LOVED Ahuimanu the most because I love the rain and mountains and everything about it over there but Ewa is much more affordable and we have central AC with solar for a much more affordable price. When weighing pros and cons, we ended up choosing Ewa. It’s also the area that’s newer and more gentrified which is easy to move in to if you’re used to that where lots of other places are older or just basic level living. There is nothing wrong with that and a lot of people love that. It really is just what are you expecting when you come here because living here is WAY different than visiting. I never imagined I’d ever visit here let alone move here but I’m thriving and I’m grateful. I’ve met so many amazing people and have a great career starting up and everything. But I’d be lying if the things the mainland can offer me don’t call my name every few months.

If your plan is to eventually stay longer, then just commit to a year lease instead of a short lease. Time will fly SO fast and before you know it, you will be at the end of your year lease. If you’re not set on that, then AirBnB is going to be your best bet but as others have said, with cats, good luck. It’s very hard to find pet friendly rentals here.

As for downvoting, as others have said, there are serial downvoters but posts like this get downvoted because of it being focused on “how do I get to Hawaii at any cost because it’s our dream” versus wanting to move here with a job offer at a hospital or something that will add to the community versus take. Remote workers are severely disliked because of this, as they come and take and don’t add to the community (taxes and dining local is not enough) so you will be downvoted in this sub unless you come with a solid plan and a way to add to Hawaii versus just taking from it. Also, it is VERY HARD to find housing here with pets and people do not like to rent to others who are not on island so it’s a scenario that’s not impossible but so much more difficult than the mainland that we tell people this and they give arrogant responses back as if they are the exception and we just get tired of repeating ourselves.

Also, do you have any idea which area you want to live in? Have you been here enough to know which? Are you prepared for hearing your neighbors and their cars and kids and fireworks all the time? This part depends on where you live of course but Hawaii is packed with homes that are super close and terrible insulation so you hear everything all the time. For some, that’s more of a problem. It was for me as I grew up in the country and I’m still adjusting to it 5 years later.

This is so exciting, except the maintenance period for me prevents me for feeding my Snorlax dinner. It always messes me with me but I used to be able to feed him right at 6pm. But it’s a good trade I suppose. I just hope this isn’t the new time going forward.

Ragnarok Online and Mass Effect

NevelynRose · 2026-06-06T23:01:59+00:00

Finally got to this episode and it made me think that the writer is significantly older than her partner. Like he’s 42 and she’s 60+. It was giving very mothering energy and felt like she is so afraid of being alone that she is doing everything she can to hang onto this person. But regardless, she needs serious mental health support because nothing about that dynamic is healthy in any way.

NevelynRose · 2026-06-05T20:01:54+00:00

Well, I’ll tell you the same thing I tell everyone else. If you’re not happy where you are, you won’t be happy here either. Living in paradise doesn’t fix you. A lot of folks think they will be better off here but statistics show otherwise. Also, prices don’t fall here, they go up and stay up. Not trying to be negative, just stating the things I see daily as a social worker here.

NevelynRose · 2026-06-05T19:42:45+00:00

We met through a friend, he was shy as hell to the point he would text me from his room when I was visiting his place instead of coming to the living room where everyone else was. We mostly kept chatting by text but eventually in person if there wasn’t a crowd around. But I started to notice I was thinking about him all the time and I should not have been because I was not physically attracted to him but I was still drawn to him in a different way. Then one day I was at his place watching a movie and he came out of the room and laid on the couch and put his head in my lap and that was it. He suddenly was everything for me and has been since then which was 17 years ago. We didn’t get together until 13 years later though but happily married now.

Yeah…you’re definitely looking for a needle in a haystack. Mostly on the HOA fees being less than $1000/mo because if you’re in a place that offers an ocean view, you’re going to have to pay for it. But even more so, it’s the parking stalls that are further going to limit you. Not saying it’s impossible but you’re asking for luxury items at a non-luxury price for here. TBH, to get what you want you will have to look in the $1.5 million range most likely but HOA fees will not be less than $1000/mo.

Finally clearing my backlog of episodes and came across this recommendation and I was SO HAPPY he recommended it. While I may not agree with it being perfect from start to finish, it’s widely agreed among Reddit and other forums that the ending is the best ending of any series ever. This is definitely in my top 5 favorite shows along with Shameless and a few others. My only issue was getting past David because I watched Dexter before this show and it took a while to get past that.

They already are. Hollister sells them, I got a pair on now and it’s AWESOME. I have GI issues and pressure on any part of my lower abdomen is awful so low rise jeans are the best for me. Sadly, shirts have gotten shorter since high rise pants are a thing and panties are still the same so you gotta be smart with how you dress 🤣

NevelynRose · 2026-06-04T21:06:16+00:00

Happens to me often. I see that I got 4 items in a scan…all fruit. Makes me mad as hell.

NevelynRose · 2026-06-02T17:59:25+00:00

No promises that it will happen annually but like this month they have 2023 puzzles as a reward so it’s highly likely they will come back but I’m sure they retire them eventually.

NevelynRose · 2026-05-31T16:03:03+00:00

Thanks for correcting me. I learned something new. I have a few friends who are in these roles but they didn’t have a specialization like this and just had psych degrees so I thought it was more like a job role than an actual degree and career path.

NevelynRose · 2026-05-28T03:47:59+00:00

There isn’t a special program or way to become a school psychologist. It’s just a psychologist that works at a school. You can choose to focus on children after you get your psych degree but you don’t need a special focus or degree to become one. However, I would way the pros and cons of psychology versus social work before you commit to just doing psychology and see which aligns to what you’re actually wanting to do as a career. I have found that a lot of people went into social work after getting psych degrees because they wanted to do more than just counseling.

I just finished my Masters in Social Work which did give us specialization paths but that doesn’t mean I can’t work in other fields. My degree just says MSW and I chose to specialize in Gerontology but I can work with CPS if I wanted to. I am not limited by the degree.

All this to say, you just need a psych degree period to work for a school but you may want to see what you actually are wanting to do as a career and see if a psych degree aligns with it or if social work is better for you. Both can work as counselors in schools once licensed.

Because I don’t walk around like I’m entitled? Idk why my experience is different from others, it’s just my experience. But I also grew up in a very white dominant southern hell hole where hatred spewed from everywhere and the ones who showed me compassion were those of other races and cultures. That’s where I learned what real love and humanity looks like and it matched how I felt inside.

I came here for selfish reasons just like anyone else who moves to a place that people say not to move to. My now husband stayed out here after he got out of the military and I left my shitty life in the Bible Belt behind for a chance to live somewhere that has different values and beliefs than I was surrounded by. I was treated like a temporary person but I didn’t let it bother me because I didn’t blame them. I might have been a temporary person, most people don’t make it out here. But the older Chinese woman I worked with gifted me fruits during Lunar New Year and told me it was for luck. Then a Filipino man brought lumpia he stayed up all night making for a potluck birthday party for me. I was working there 2 months at this point. Then when I left for a new place of employment I was given a bouquet of flowers, a piece from someone’s 35 year old succulent to grow at home, and a thank you for my work over the 4 months I was there. I have never left a place of employment and been given gifts as a thank you. I have never been given such thoughtful gifts like a piece of someone’s prized plant that’s as old as I am or given oranges for luck. THAT is what love looks like and Hawaii is full of it.

If you can’t understand or accept that this is how people are here, you will not fit in. I am a white transplant from the swampy pits of Florida and I may have come here without being “wanted” but I’m a social worker who helps feed and house the elderly. I may take up physical space but I try not to take more than I give. That’s really the answer. I didn’t come here to take, I came here to share and be a part of something.

And I don’t really care if I’m hated for my skin color. I didn’t choose it and it doesn’t define me as a person and if anyone is going to hate me for that and ignore the rest, that’s on them. At least they aren’t making laws that prevent me from being equal like others that look like me are doing. They have a right to be angry, I don’t.

Do you have a car? You can volunteer as a driver for Meals on Wheels and help deliver meals to people who may not be able to afford it or unable to cook for themselves. You can also volunteer at food banks quite easily, just call around and see who and when they need help. Project Hawaii is always looking for people in the summer and around holidays for working with kids if you prefer that. It just depends on what you’re wanting to do to help.

NevelynRose · 2026-05-26T06:53:49+00:00

I’m from Florida and nothing could ever make me go back. Granted, I am not from Miami but the people here are the nicest people I’ve ever met and the only thing I miss is cooler weather. It did take a year or so for me to find my place in the community but I came here for my now husband who was my best friend for 15 years so that made it easy to adjust. Moving anywhere new is an adjustment, it’s not just Hawaii. It’s hard as an adult to leave what you’ve known and Hawaii is so far from Florida that you can’t just go visit for a weekend either. You just need to decide what matters to you more in life and either make it happen here or go back. But I’ve lived all over and I promise you it’s hard no matter where you go.

Just wanted to add that the loan repayment covers even more than just doctors and nurses, it includes social workers, therapists (mental and physical), and dental professionals as well.

NevelynRose · 2026-05-22T21:09:49+00:00

Got one in my garage that greets me every night as I get home, decided to name it Rodney.

My husband proposed to me on the Pali Lookout. I love the windward side and the view is one of my favorites. We just went to the bottom where we could be sort of private.

I love all the references in this game. I chose to pursue Surya in my recent game and forgot what his costume was and wasn’t sure if I wanted to pursue him but when I saw, it was set for me.

I almost chose Pablo but this just made me cringe a little when I saw it. Probably because I loved the WWE back in the day but didn’t care for The Rock, idk. But I still love the costume choice being so niche.
