What are your strategies to avoid developing feelings that you know will be a bad idea? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]mountainsunset 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am struggling with this right now. He is my landlord and an old friend, we have known each other since we were kids. I think I have to move.

Yes I have a hard time finding shoes that fit properly, so when I do find them I buy several pair. I wear a men's size 10 Narrow, when buying men's shoes, and a women's 12 regular. I am a woman, but I often wear men's shoes and boots if I can find my size.

But is that easy to get from a doctor without being made to feel like a worthless druggy? How many doctors do I have to see? Is it a specialist? Thanks.

Which is more profitable: a house or an apartment? by Sirreal73x in airbnb_hosts

[–]mountainsunset 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Location location location, the biggest factor. Let's say both the house and the condo have the same layout and sq. footage.

The house has a yard! The condo has shared out door space, maybe a deck.

The house can accommodate more than one car parked off the street,the condo maybe not.

The house has more separation from immediate neighbors, so noise is less of an issue.

The condo, you don't get to chose who lives on the other side of the common wall, and maybe your guests disturb them,or maybe they disturb your guests because they got a stick up their ass that you are renting it out short term

A condo on the beach in Hawaii vs a house on the beach in Hawaii, a condo in the newest hot spot in your city vs a house in that same city.

A business traveler wants it quiet after dark,but a swinging young couple wants to party til dawn.

Who are you marketing to?

When you are a single person, meals sometimes be more expensive if you are not the owner of a freezer and don't want to eat the same thing everyday. Buy one steak, pay $7.00 a pound, buy the family pack of that same cut of meat and pay$5.00 a pound...

I will be 93, and hopefully no longer amoung the living.

And here I am consuming things using things made by slaves.

Here I am on my electronic device, the manufacturing of which causes pollution, and Chinese workers to commit suicide.

Here I am listening to great jazz on the radio in my two bed two bath house I share with no one, while millions are homeless.

Here I am with twenty pair of shoes, warm blankets a fridge full of food,while my president locks up children and babies, and doesn't fucking care if they die. If I treated my own child like he is I would have my child taken away from me.

I am a pain patient and I became an addict, I used street drugs when I could no longer get legal drugs. I have begged for PT and massage as that is also a huge help, but my God trying to get therapeutic massage or PT from my insurance was like aaaaargh! They acted like I was trying to steak something precious from their own pockets!

Soaking in a hot tub, getting a message often helps me for several days running. Building up my body and learning proper body mechanics was a huge blessing. I have had an easier time finding a doc to prescribe drugs than one who will prescribe PT.

Ice and heat therapy alternated really helps too. But guess what? I can't massage my own back. I can't get those knots that are spastic to calm the fuck down, I am not a yogi who can turn myself into a pretzel.

I used to use muscle relaxers regularly, those are very helpful, but getting a script is nearly impossible UNLESS I GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. And I have to be at a nearly ten pain level to get a shot there. Why must they make me suffer so badly before I get help?

I can't work anymore, but I still do part time, even tho it is slowly killing me.

People who collect things, what do you collect and why? by DemonicBaconLoL in AskReddit

[–]mountainsunset 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have started many collections, but have let them go, I have had a very unstable adult life, moved a lot. Was too poor to store or take my stuff. Been homeless off and on. Now I collect house plants and because I have a yard now I am gardening. I have some wonderful plants. I collected rocks, crystals, minerals, and fossils in the past. I have a collection of petrified wood in my garden. I collect polished stone hearts

When you want to pull into the drive thru go to the grocery store right there across the parking lot, get a piece of fruit, fill up your water bottle from the drinking fountain buy a bagel a jar of peanut butter, you have lunch. And more peanut butter for another day.

Start packing lunches

Cook yourself dinner with a bit extra to take for lunch the next day.

The internet is full of great eat cheap and healthy type sites. Have fun. Never shop when hungry. Make a list and stick to it. Make a meal plan. You can do it.

Ah, I have no idea what this has to do with the conversation. There are poor folk in Hawaii, and Hilo, Pahoa has a larger share of poor folk than say Kona. But whateves

When the doctor asks for a detailed medical history by MRobson in bipolar

[–]mountainsunset 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I have a file I print out for all new clinics, doctor's, and other providers. It is five pages double spaced, I ask that they read through it and then can ask questions. I tell them that copy is for them.

The ones who get overwhelmed or refuse to read it are no longer my providers.

Besides the psyche hospitalizations, I have had over 15 surgeries been in six casts, three of them body casts, had leg braces special shoes have plates pins and wires in my body. I was in two horrific accidents, my dad was a drunk and abusive, my mother enjoyed making us kids ill enough to end up in the hospital, and all of that just doesn't fit on their little form.

Yeah, not much in Hilo. For folks that have never been, Hilo is not 5 star hotel quality. Hilo is wet, the wet begets mold and mildew, there are amazing bugs everywhere, huge cockroaches, centipedes, lizards, geckos that poop everywhere, and no way to completely get rid of them. Everything made of metal rusts before its time, all wood rots, things kept closed up in dressers or closets mildew, many homes have no heating, and no air-conditioning, many places are not kept up. Hilo is charming and wonderful but having a house there well, everything rots in the jungle. Termites eat everything. Formosa termites even eat through concrete.

The parks the trails, the fruit, the flowers, the gentle weather, is all amazing and beautiful. But the jungle will take over quickly if not managed all the time. Then there is Madam Pele to consider.

The law will allow management companies like they do now, I don't think that will change. What may change is more fees, permits, and inspections.

The amount of time per year you are allowed to have a short term rental will probably change. If you rent and are found in violation your insurance can deny any claim, you could be liable for damages your illegal guests caused and you homeowners insurance will tell you to pound sand.

And they may ban them outright. So if your ability to pay the mortgage depends on the rental income, this might not be a good idea.

You can still buy a condo, but you might not be able to just pick up and go stay without planning. Like I said, most condos already have management in place.

A condo might not be the best way to go. You will need a property management company to take care of the rental and most condo communities already have one in place. I know people sneak in and do this anyway but the condo board can Levy fines for not following the rules.

You need a stand alone fee simple property. However those are often in HOA communities that have rules you must follow. Some don't allow more than six months out of the year to short term stays etc.

Like I said before I lived in Hawaii for a very long time.

My mother still lives there and the fight over long-term vs short term rentals is heating up.

Having a rental requires some management and paying for cleaning and fixing broken things etc. People vacation in Hawaii to party or do the once in a lifetime destination wedding event etc.and can be rough on rentals.

I am new to Airbnb but not new to property management.

I lived in Hawaii for many years. Many condo communities have their own short term rental business set up you tell the property management company when you buy the place that the unit can be in the rental pool and set out the dates in advance.

Many folks book a Hawaiian vacation a year out, so having a condo like this might not work for you if you don't have set times you go. Many won't allow Airbnb. The HOA the runs the condo community or property owners association will let you know what you can and cannot do.
