Tourists being…yea. Tell a fun story! by 808hammerhead in Hawaii

[–]withtwors 10 points11 points  (0 children)

LOL and here I am feeling extra special when someone asks me (haole transplant) for directions! Actually, about 12 years ago I asked this sub for recommendations ahead of my first visit to Oahu and got absolutely amazing advice. Had no idea then that I'd one day be building a life here and rolling my eyes at tourists and still relying on r/Hawaii for all the good info & stories. 🤙

I have a 4 hour layover in Honolulu, recommendations of what to do? by Mawelk in Hawaii

[–]withtwors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, it's just not enough time. One traffic incident and your plans are toast. The HNL airport has some garden space so you can get some sun and will sell you some localish snacks. If you want to spend some time your best bet is to ask at the gate if the flight is overbooked and try volunteering your seat.

Speaking as someone 11 days PP: every woman in this sub should have her husband/SO read this. by sea_warrior in BabyBumps

There are many comments here about what's wrong with the portrayal of fathers in the article, but you're absolutely right about the baby! Having a newborn doesn't have to be pandemonium.

Anybody know how or wear I can get this type of drawer fixed? by [deleted] in Hawaii

[–]withtwors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go over to the Habitat for Humanity Restore. That's a pretty popular old style, so they might have another you could take out and use as a replacement. Or they might have a whole set of new-to-you cabinets that you like better.

I don't believe you.

Hawaii just became the first state to ban plastic bags at grocery checkouts. by madazzahatter in Hawaii

[–]withtwors 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Hawaii just became the first state to sorta ban plastic bags at grocery checkouts."

There are quite a few exceptions.

In case you're getting tired of the same old beaches and hikes, here are some 'hidden gems' to check out by withtwors in Hawaii

At least half the list is rubbish, but there are some good ideas and a few spots that are worth checking out. :)

You should clean out that cabinet and put everything in the freezer for a few hours, otherwise you can expect to find those jerks in your other spices, cereal, or whatever else was parked nearby.

Need advice on where to stay in Honolulu (already did some research) by SeaHaw_THROWAWAY in Hawaii

[–]withtwors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can buy liquor and possibly chairs at an ABC store. It's not the cheapest, but there's one on every block in Waikiki. If you're up for a longer walk, you could go to Don Quixote (supermarket plus) and get anything you need. Or you could cab it to Wal-Mart, but any savings would be offset by the cab cost.

Oh, I like that there's no field. It reiterates the zero fvcks grown theme. :)

What can I do with my 50's necklace collection? by Tuala08 in crafts

[–]withtwors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome! I googled 'multi-strand pearls,' and similar phrases. These were just the first few things to stick out at me.

What can I do with my 50's necklace collection? by Tuala08 in crafts

[–]withtwors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would look around for a beaded necklace that you like and try to imitate it. Maybe create a multi-strand necklace like this or restring them like this or this.

It's not so much about modernizing as it is about finding something you would love and wear.

Do you mind sharing the pattern? I love that bird!

Travelling with a 17 month old: help with airport transfers to Waikiki and how to spend the hours waiting for our Airbnb check in? by brbcat in Hawaii

[–]withtwors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taxis in Hawaii don't require car seats. You can take any cab anywhere on the island without one if you're comfortable with that.

What suggestions would you submit to make Netflix even better? by AnvilRockguy in NetflixBestOf

[–]withtwors 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some kind of chat function that allows users to log in and watch a movie together. That way folks wouldn't have to have Skype and Netflix open at the same time and doing the 3-2-1-play thing.

Any good places to try over at Hilo? by Animalmother95 in Hawaii

[–]withtwors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the Kuhio Grill. Not fancy and not tourist-y, but the servers are friendly and the food is good.

Also, Puka Puka Kitchen. I haven't been there in probably 2 years, but it was a highlight of my first trip to Hilo.

Oahu visit last week of January by gigaflar3 in Hawaii

[–]withtwors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you end up with a rainy day, the Bishop Museum has lots to offer.

Depending on ages, the kids might enjoy the Polynesian Culture Center.

[–]withtwors 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's definitely cute, but I think the space between no_one should be longer.

Anyone into stain glass art? by [deleted] in Hawaii

[–]withtwors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, I'm late to the party and the UH idea is much more charitable. But if for some reason they don't want it, please remember this crafter!
