I would also be concerned about the public school system here. Some schools are better than others, and if you are going to go the public school route, I would pay attention to where you live and what school district you are in. As I mentioned previously, there are district exemptions...

I've also got to say that I'm very impressed by the response from Diamond Head Divers.

Since you know what to expect re the cost of living and living on an island, it sounds like the main thing is to figure out where to live and where your kids are going to school. You'll need to decide whether you want your kids to go to private or public school. Where you live decides which...

Thinking off the top of my head, I can't easily identify a lot of parking lots that I frequent that have angled spaces and one way aisles. Actually, I just noticed a couple weeks ago that the spaces at one of the shopping malls that used to have angled spaces redid the striping, so now the...

That's ridiculous. As someone having been born, raised and spent about half of my adult life here, I guess I qualify as a local. I haven't really noticed a disparate amount of Hawaii drivers backing into parking spaces. If I had to quantify a percentage, I'd say I see not even 50% of...

Brian was really a character and he will be missed. I'm glad to have spent some time with him and know what a great guy he was. Aloha, Brian. Peace be with you.

I am in complete shock - this is awful. Brian was a great guy and I'm glad to have been able to spend some time with him. Catherine, Kathy doesn't post here anymore? I don't think I still have her contact information.

Not sure if you're being serious or sarcastic. Granted, it's been a LONG time since I've been to any clubs - I think I partied myself out in the late 80s, early 90s - the Pink Cadillac/Limelight/Wave era. Last I knew, Hula's was still a gay nightclub. I've been there many times in the...

Just got back yesterday from vacation, been gone 2 weeks. Went to fill gas this morning and the price per gallon has risen $0.20 since the last time I filled gas, which was about 5 days before I left. Should have gotten gas before I went on vacation. :shakehead:

I'm currently waiting on a voucher to arrive in the mail from United - I had purchased my ticket to Florida back in January, and the fare dropped over $200 for a short time in April. I was lucky enough to catch it (I'm not signed up for any alerts) and I called in and was given a voucher for...

I would say you need to find some dive buddies. When I first got certified, none of my friends were divers, either. It was a little tough for me to find a regular dive buddy for a while - Scubaboard was still pretty new and there were maybe only a couple thousand members, very few that were...

High school sugar mama? I must be old, I have no idea what that means, but it sounds cute. :) Congratulations!

hmmm . . . ditto to Lisa's question. What do you mean by "providers"? Are you talking about substance abuse counseling providers . . . or the other kind of providers?

I imagine that living in either Wahiawa or Millilani would be more convenient overall than living on the North Shore. It's a 2 lane highway in/out of the North Shore and I'm not sure how bad traffic congestion gets, at least from a daily commuting standpoint. I do know that on weekends...

Yes, they used confidential financial information obtained from Hawaiian and Aloha under the guise of becoming a potential investor in either. Then they analyzed the information and entered the market with the intention of driving out one of the existing airlines. Evidence presented in the...

I'll respond from the perspective of a local person (born and raised here, though I did live on the mainland for about 8 years in my 20s). If your wife would be working at the Federal building downtown, then Becky's (sea nmf) recommendation about the reverse commute for you is a good one...

Swimming is my main form of exercise. I love to swim, it's almost like it's not exercise. I can be completely stressed at the end of the day with a killer tension headache - I can zone out while swimming and my headache will disappear. I swim laps 5 or 6 days a week, 1.5 miles each day. I...

Sounds like Tim took you on a couple of great dives - mantas, scooters and whales - what's not to like? The scooters sound especially fun.

Sounds positively toasty! ;) Not that I dive a whole lot anyway during the winter months, but I've been nursing a fractured foot. Cut short a dive several weeks ago because of said foot, am hoping that it will be ok to dive this coming weekend.

I'll chime in that I can't imagine not being able to hear the subs - you might want to get your hearing checked. I mean this seriously and not in a snarky way. The only way I can think that you got hit without hearing it is maybe they turned off their engines or something - but I don't...
