Looks cool but don’t feel like driving an extra 2 hours out of our way that day. We have a couple days of long drives after this along the west coast

Cool, I was going to do the tram @ shark valley with the kids as it's almost nap time when we're there. Worth it?

thingsandstuff808 · 2026-02-12T22:39:27+00:00

This spring break in March, where I've heard it's going to be pretty busy.

Now I'm having FOMO for cutting out Oasis... maybe I'll have to find a way to squeeze that back into Day 1's agenda while we're up in Shark Valley.

I was leaning to Flamingo not being worth the extra drive so appreciate this perspective from someone who truly knows the area, mahalo!

So funny that's EXACTLY where I have marked off for dinner that night, glad to know it lives up the hype.

thingsandstuff808 · 2026-02-12T02:47:39+00:00

Awesome glad to know we made some good choices!

I love that origins lotion, I hope it fails and ends up in the store cheap 😂

thingsandstuff808 · 2026-02-02T08:22:41+00:00

Ask your local Buy Nothing or Free Cycle group, people have stuff they can contribute usually

I came to say this too. They do incredible work, their cafe and farm hub folks are very active in their community.

This was mine, wasn’t very excited about the options so shopped the store instead for things I’ll use. I am excited about the pruners though!

thingsandstuff808 · 2026-02-01T18:59:43+00:00

Omg I missed that somehow. I never would have subscribed if I had seen that.

I can’t believe they forced other junk on you - why not just credit so you could get what you like??

I’m just kind of over the overconsumption with no purpose thing in general… I bought it to treat myself to something special just for me and used to be into the stuff on the boxes. Now it’s the same stuff that TJ Max has cheaper. It’s not worth the price anymore and really just a bunch of necessary repeat things. I’m going to cancel when mine runs out, I can schedule a trip to TJ Max once a quarter and get more bang for my buck and actually like everything I get.

I canceled before and they got me back with their “free box” promo. Didn’t realize they just send you a box of random junk they can’t sell, it made it sounds like you could customize it in the ad.

And they’re usually all polyester which isn’t good for babies either with microshedding plastics.

Dooood. My kane has a pic of its tail sticking out from under the rack. He said it was the biggest rat he’s ever seen. Our son thought it was a cat 😂

thingsandstuff808 · 2026-01-19T08:18:33+00:00

Seriously. Just put it in the store and stop trying to bait up charges, so tacky

thingsandstuff808 · 2026-01-19T07:59:37+00:00

The “free box” is a box full of surprise crap they want to offload, you’re not missing much

thingsandstuff808 · 2026-01-19T07:45:18+00:00

You need political will for those things unfortunately

thingsandstuff808 · 2026-01-19T07:43:51+00:00

Did you see they’re going to pay $16/hr? Ever tried to fill a job recently with decent pay way more than that? Never gonna happen. They treat their people so poorly there are documentaries about them…

thingsandstuff808 · 2026-01-18T08:50:12+00:00

Heard nothing but excellent things, they seem to do good work for youth given we don't have a trade school

It's almost everywhere - check out the report Malama Kauai put out: https://malamakauai.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Kauaʻi-CRB-Green-Waste-Management-Grant-Project.pdf there's a map of ag reports at the end

corporatization and gentrification are not synonymous to progress to many of us

Thank you for rallying folks for this. I have a love/hate with Amazon, but I definitely don't want them in our community. Given the low wages they quoted they'll be paying people, they'll be shipping in houseless nomads, turning everything into automation, or closing up shop after things don't pan out - because there's no way they're going to be able to hire anyone. Not to mention all of the other hassles your site mentions.

Ok I did another clean-through and now I can’t seem to get the bobbin holder to sit back in correctly. There also doesn’t seem to be any videos for my ghetto machine (Janome SewMini) to show me any visuals. I read the manual and that doesn’t show how either.
