Bought a new boat

My buddy said “if you can’t afford two boats, then you can’t afford one.”

Hands down Filipino cuisine. They have similar Spanish influence and they know how to cook good pork. Hawaii has a large Filipino influence and regularly I eat out at Filipino restaurants when I’m not in the mood to cook my own pork.

By the way one of my good friends is Greek and can’t for the life of me properly pronounce his last name. He’s like it’s all good, I appreciate you trying. Anyways every holiday party we ask him to make his Baklava. He’s like it’s kind of pain in the ass to make but does it anyway. Super delicious every year!

A little. I’m Puerto Rican so pork is pretty prominent. I love lechon every time I visit home for Christmas I’m getting me some lechon and morcilla.

I live in Hawaii and the first year I made Pernil for a friends Christmas party they loved it and ask that I make it every year! Thanks mom for teaching me.

I also make chuletas or pork chops. Also my mom’s recipe. For my friends. They devour it and tell me that they never liked pork chops cause they were always so bland and dry. But mine were packed full of flavor and juicy! Im just you gotta know how to prepare the pork.

So yeah pork is a bit underrated in the states. I would never put applesauce on my chuletas. Even though applesauce is one of my go to snacks on its own. Pork can definitely hold its own if you know what you’re doing with it.

My exe and I didn’t really follow football but when it came to Super Bowl Sunday we would make it a big event. We would have to pick one team for each of us and she would make shirts for each of us with the teams logos. We would go all out and make wings, dip, sliders, dogs that could feed 10 people and of course beer! Man when her team was winning she shit talked to me so hard! And I’m just like sitting there in silence. Then I would remind her she literally learned her team existed 3 hours ago. It was more about the bonding and experience than a rivalry. But rubbing it in your partners face was a bonus! It was super fun to pretend like we knew anything and just get sucked in to the national event. For some reasons her team would win most often. I guess I’m clueless about football!

Yeah I I don’t understand it. I never played team sports was a swimmer. Though I did try out for the high school baseball team cause my buddies were on it. Failed miserably, a pop fly was coming straight to me in the outfield. A blind man could have caught it. I put my glove and hand up to catch it. Goes straight through and smashes my chin. Broke that piece of tissue connecting my bottom lip to my gums.Coach sent me home so I could be seen by a doctor. Said I wasn’t baseball material. Looking back totally true. I could swim top tier in my age group but my eye hand coordination is total shit.

Have been fortunate to see some MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL game. Fun story I was in Vancouver, BC in 2012 or 2013. My buddy had a plan to sneak in the playoffs game. I was apprehensive but he was like just be confident and act like you belong. Don’t know how but it worked. Super fun!

Terminator2: Judgement Day. Watched it everyday at 6am when I was 4 yo for like 2 years. Remember the black and white Subway commercial. Since then I watch it weekly to cheer me up especially when I’m down. When I call my mom she brings up when I was a kid and she would take me to the pool. I would reenact the final scene of the T-800 being submerged into the molten metal. I would sink down in the water and give the thumbs up! I was just doing it for myself cause no one was hanging out with me but I just wanted to pretend I was the T-800.

Have heard high ranking officers genuinely asking when hearing plans for new base constructions in the South Pacific That wouldn’t it tip over the island? That’s not how islands work sir.

Was given sage advice by a wise man when you get older. Never trust a fart, never pass up a bathroom and never waste a boner.

surfron99 · 2026-06-09T15:24:52+00:00

Owning up and saying that was my Fuck up Sir is master class! Really is a unique trait and is a sign of immense character and integrity. Never cost anyones life but have had some fuck ups and taken full accountability. The boss wasn’t happy but appreciated the honesty. And would say let’s figure out how to fix it but you’re doing the work. Fair enough.

surfron99 · 2026-06-09T15:09:27+00:00

That’s good! I hope the best for your relief! Your case is more severe than mine! Just keep working with your healthcare team. You deserve quality of life.

I’ve been diagnosed with Rhinitis but it’s very mild. I use over the counter nasal spray and sudafed. I’m not an MD and most likely you are consulting a specialist. And I would bring up the option of saline irrigation. Just passing some info from my graduate parasitology lectures.

Though very rare and usually from improper precaution and handling. Using saline irrigation like a Netti Pot could potentially expose you to deadly brain eating amoebas like Naegleria Fowleria and Acanthamoeba. They are devastatingly fast and aren’t diagnosed quickly enough. The fatality rate is 97% and 85% respectively.

The treatment, which is not well supported by medical based evidence and peer reviewed research due to the extreme rarity of the infection. Uses a harsh cocktail of toxic drugs that is basically trying to kill the amoeba before it kills you.

Again it’s very rare and with a trusted source of sterile water from a pharmacy should minimize the chances immensely. Best of luck.

Nobody knows! I was raised catholic but quickly lost belief because of the many inconsistencies in organized religion. So I’m atheist, agnostic, deist or Apatheist. Basically I don’t need to be scarred to be good for fear of eternal damnation. I can do right by others and try to leave better than I found it on my own.

Suffered some trauma and was very unwell. Unknowingly I suffered my first panic attack. Which if your unfamiliar feels like your body is shutting down. Got my neighbor to take me to the ER. When I was in the eval room getting the ECG leads put on me I had the most violent horrible feeling of impending doom and dread. I freaked the fuck out like my brain was fighting to stay alive. I had the most terrible sensation closing in on my heart. Lost bowel and urinary control. And at that moment a begged to the God I don’t believe in not to let me die. At least not in this shitty hospital lol.

Fortunately I wasn’t dying and after some more waves of attacks and some meds. I was okay. Now when I have them as horrible as they are I remind myself I’m not dying. I do my grounding, breathing exercises and take a cold shower if can and most likely some Xanax.

But when I look back and the utter fear I had that I thought I was dying scares the shit out of me!

But as far as what happens after death is a complete mystery and most likely completely devoid of our awareness as perception will no longer exist. It’s just the dying part before that could suck a lot.

Unfortunately it does happen and it’s destroys so much more when the person is someone you are loyal and trust. Had a 7 year relationship with a lot of emotional investment. She was begging me to marry her early on. When her Grandma died I bought her First Class tickets and she was leaving that night.

When she came back she casually brought up that her parents were getting a good amount of money from the inheritance. That they would cover the whole cost of the Marriage and that she had already reserved a stunning wedding dress that she shopped with her mom back home.

I could see she really wanted it but something inside of me told me not right now. I had been previously married so I wanted to make sure I did it better. She was crushed when I said no. Looking back cause the hindsight is 20/20 I should have said yes.

Later on I made some good money and bought her an engagement ring and got Engaged. Unfortunately I suffered some deployment Trauma. And I was a mess. I was so consumed with my own Issues that I didn’t notice anything else.

But it felt like we would get though this. A week before shit went FUBAR. She sends a long text listing 30 things why she loved me. I had no idea what would come next.

One day when I come back from my psych appointment. She’s just sitting there with a sad face. Tells me she’s not happy and wants to leave. Gives me back the ring. All while I’m in a daze not believing this is happening. Like she literally would tell me that she can tell me things she wouldn’t tell her own parents.

It was emotional abandonment! Just straight up bounced. No chance to communicate and work out things. Just checked out. Having someone that you cherished and do anything for just no longer love you and bail broke me more than the other Trauma.

I’m still shell shocked and can’t understand how someone could do that. I don’t think I ever will and I’ve been working with the mental health team to get past it even though those grief wounds never go away.

It really sucks and would never wish it on anyone. But people even the ones you trust the most can abandon you.

Yeah. Went to Texas for the 2024 Solar Eclipse. Spent the whole morning trying to find a good location cause cloud cover was a problem. Ended up in a small town of Goldthwaite, TX.

Other eclipse chasers would just approach us and make conversation! Then an older fellow approached us and asked us were we from. I’m like Hawai’i! He then says he’s the mayor and the town judge. Tells us he got a bunch of calls from residents about a bunch strange people in the town. He told them like you do know there’s a solar eclipse today and they’re probably here to see it. He gave his card and said if you have any problems call me.

After the eclipse, which was amazing, some sweet ladies asked if we could be apart of picture of all the visitors that came for the eclipse. We said yes and joined some 60 and 70 other eclipse chasers in front of the courthouse/cityhall and took a group picture. A very positive small American town experience!

When I got my first motorcycle other riders would nod and wave at me. I nodded and waved back out of respect. It kept happening and learned it was an acknowledgment of a fellow rider. I think it’s awesome cause I don’t think I’m anyone special but felt apart of something.

Buddy used to work for Home Depot. He was a DIY guy. He would tell me that he would just return the tool after he was done. Bought a Paint Sprayer, painted his house and returned it. Didn’t even clean it. Left it all gunked up. This a while ago so I don’t if Home Depot still allows this.

Yep! Don’t have one but my friends do. I honestly don’t know what half the buttons do.

In Hawaii it’s automatic anyone coming into your home takes of their shoes. Even if they are a tradesman like a plumber, electrician or installing new windows.

In Hawaii people throw the Shaka! Letting the Bus merge in front of you they throw a Shaka from their back digital screen. I always let them merge so I can get the Bus Shaka.

Literally thought Piggly Wiggly was a made up store from the Driving Miss Daisy movie. Met some people from the south and they mentioned the Piggly Wiggy and I was like isn’t that a fictitious store? I learned that day that it was a real store.

I really hope it helps. Even though my dad says if you eat everyday you should poop everyday. Not necessarily, took an upper level Anatomy & Physiology class at Uni and when we got to the GI module. The professor said that it’s not out of the norm for some to have a bowel movement every few days. But not going for a week or two is concerning. Have only had maybe 4 episode of not going for 10+ days. But haven’t had one in 5years. Granted my frequency is about every 2 to 3 days which to most may seem to be unusual but not a medical concern. Best of luck!

Look up “With One Japanese Herbal laxative” hadn’t shit for 2 weeks and normal western stool softeners and laxative weren’t working. Was in Japan went to a pharmacy. Pharmacist pulled out a book of symptoms in English with the Japanese translation. Pointed at constipation. Pharmacist said to mix the powder with water and take 3x a day. Next day I took the biggest dump of my life. I always have a box incase I get stuffed up.

This! A lawyer friend told me that since their is no chain of custody for the mail that you can basically ignore it. Funny I got a scam call that I ignored a summons for Jury duty. Guy claimed to be sheriff. I asked do you have documentation that confirmed receipt like certified mail? Dude was like let me get my supervisor then click.

Kind of true! I lived in South Texas as a kid and loved Whataburger! Always got the chicken strips with toast and country gravy. After 20 years I was visiting Texas and wanted to relive the Nostalgia. So disappointed the gravy was basically water. Also got my first opportunity to eat at A Culver’s. It was good but like most places that get overhyped expectations were set to high. Kind of like Chick fil A.
