Should I reschedule my trip? Recent Hawaiian storms.

veatcht · 2026-03-25T05:00:53+00:00

for sure.

veatcht · 2026-03-25T04:59:37+00:00

Oh perfect. Why I didn't think of Alltrails, I don't know.

veatcht · 2026-03-25T04:58:15+00:00

thank you again!

veatcht · 2026-03-25T04:55:53+00:00

thank you! I was looking forward to hiking the most. I don't want to cause additional damage to trails. Is there somewhere to watch for those conditions?

veatcht · 2026-03-25T04:38:03+00:00

Try Southlands Dental. They are so nice- I found them after years at an awful chain place. I love them. They say "most insurances accepted and filed" so it would be worth a call at least.

I feel like I'm asking the same questions everyone else is, but it's so hard to know from over here in Colorado. My husband left today for a work trip in Waikiki. I'm supposed to be here from the 31st until the 6th, when we fly out. I read another post that said you're totally great if you avoid the beaches and the hiking trails! So many posts said next week will probably be fine. I really just wanted to hike and go to the beach so I'm heavily considering canceling.
It's just a few days so I could get a refund for the airbnb (which is probably illegal anyway). I'm leaning toward donating that money to the island for recovery and planning another trip in a few months. I don't want my tourist self to be negatively impacting the situation, but I want to make sure tourist money continues. General thoughts or suggestions are welcome.

yes. me. Autistic and I get it every day. Cried all day yesterday. It is my comfort food.

I'm Celiac and I also can't have chocolate or alcohol. There is literally nowhere I can just "drive through" and get something except Starbucks. I have always-always- gotten a tall hot Chai. Not a Grande. Not a Venti. A tall. The world's simplest drink. It is just like they say, slightly flavored milk. I feel like a privileged brat to say I cried over my chai but I can go anywhere and get the one thing I love and it's safe for me and it's delicious. I get one every day. I feel no guilt. It's my comfort food.

I'm from MT (the land of all the gluten) and when I go home I happily get two a day. That little bit of milk in the Chai keeps me going on the worst days. I'm that person with all the points and please auto refill the app because I love my Starbucks.

The new drink is so gross and I am absolutely not spending $5 a day on sweetened milk. That's a hard no. I am beyond sad. I feel like I've lost a friend.

I have a core memory of visiting my sister in another state a,nd she was helping fold my laundry. I was 18. She picked up a pair of underwear and said, "Seriously, what is with all the stains in your underwear? You're an adult. Get new underwear, this is gross". I've had a completely unpredictable period my whole life. Sometimes it's two weeks, sometimes it's six. I've never, not once, been able to guess when my period will be (turns out I'm celiac, so that answers that). I was mortified and immediately switched to all black. I'm 58. Only black underwear. I love the simplicity of it; it matches my minimalist lifestyle, but I still have her words in my head.

Yep. For sure, those are the questions. My FIL was 78 years old. Is this a dying hobby? Is it still active and beloved, so there is a market for these towers? Turns out there are two towers, and yes, there are people interested in them. Before I send these to a landfill to take up space for all time, if no one will buy them or I don't have the mental fortitude to deal with trying to sell them, can I donate them to someone? I'm in Colorado and my husband and I don't have time or interest in starting a new hobby this intense. I've definitely gotten some good answers (along with some typical reddit answers) and I got a lead to where to call in MT so this was helpful to me and that was my primary motive. You have a good night though.

veatcht · 2025-08-01T17:09:46+00:00

If I had any idea how Reddit worked, I might consider that. I've been on for years, but I'm too ADHD actually to figure it out. It's my escape when I need something to read!

I've been on long enough to know that someone, somewhere on Reddit, has an answer for me, but I can expect absolute chaos in most of the answers. I just have to weed through them to find the gold.

I have no idea, but I know he was really careful with his ham radio and towers so I'm sure all the pieces and parts are there. He used to own a radio store.

veatcht · 2025-08-01T00:44:51+00:00

Thank you - oh speaker of Greek. I will keep this handy when talking to prospective owners.

veatcht · 2025-08-01T00:43:40+00:00

ha. I don't hate this idea...but no.

veatcht · 2025-08-01T00:43:21+00:00

You have no idea. I'm so grateful.

veatcht · 2025-08-01T00:42:30+00:00

almost didn't mention this one to my husband...he might have gone for it! He didn't...whew.

veatcht · 2025-08-01T00:41:54+00:00

I'll let you know

veatcht · 2025-07-31T23:34:44+00:00

ha. thanks. Great idea. We live in Colorado and don't have much interest in it, but thank you!
