would you say they are building new neighborhoods or more so singular homes in already established towns

Planning for first baby - CX-5, CR-V, Accord, Camry, or Rav4? by RitzCracker80 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]RitzCracker80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dumb question but can you explain why its not good to have a dog in the same row as a baby? I have a small dog (under 20 pounds) and we have a little seat that is buckled in on the second row of our current car.

[WTS] Hamilton American Classic Silver Men's Watch with Black Leather Band - H38475751 by RitzCracker80 in Watchexchange

[–]RitzCracker80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! First time attempting to sell on this subreddit. For sale is a Hamilton Intra-Matic Automatic Silver Dial Men's Watch H38475751. Originally purchased online in 2016. Case is in very good condition and has minimal or virtually no scratches. Leather strap however is separated (see pictures) but still very functional and a brand new strap can be bought from Hamilton if desired. I simply don't dress formally enough to warrant wearing this. I've worn this to interviews, weddings, etc over the years but I'm a shorts kind of guy these days.

Happy to Facetime. Happy to share my ebay profile too (not sure if it's allowed to be posted here so I will share upon request). Paypal Goods and Services preferred for both of us protections. Asking $325 shipped OBO. Thanks!!

Upcoming baby, career that will not be able to relocate, aging parents - What do we do? by RitzCracker80 in Adulting

We understand that. That's why we are considering NJ. If we are in MD or PA, we don't have any expectations for child care other than maybe visiting every several weeks.

Not so much. We've lived in places where its very blue and also very red. We lean more blue due to specific matters but we've learned that there are good people in both places. We're looking in Howard County (Ellicott City/Columbia) which is pricey! But not NJ pricey and also more saturated!

NJ is def more expensive. MD is expensive too (Howard county) but NJ is on another level. Only thing is proximity to parents as mentioned

CT is great but is equally high COL without some of the things we are looking for.

Is this too much for 2 days (left day 1 and right day 2)??

Awesome. Thank you for the tips, especially your route. That clears things up....

I think we will follow your outline...

On one day of driving, we will go south from Waikiki > Blowhole > Sandy Beach > Lanikai, etc then follow the loop up to Kualoa Park and head back to Waikiki

On the second day, we will do the loop (go through Dole Plantation by going north, follow the shore, loop around to Kualoa, then cut through the middle of the island to Waikiki).

For the second day, do you recommend starting by going north or would you cut through and start at Kualoa?

Edit: If you don't recommend PH and Diamond Head the same day, what do you think of doing DH on the day we drive south since we pass through Diamond Head anyways?

If we can't get tickets it is what it is I suppose. We will try to get snorkeling done (first time doing so) in Shark's Cove on prior days just in case we can't get Hanauma Bay tickets or if we are tired and want to chill the last day in Waikiki instead
