My partner has a relative that I find to be Very Extra, but she almost always brings a big pyrex dish of buffalo chicken dip to parties so she’s great.
Sure, she’s a real person. She’s a real racist, bigoted person who deserves a hell of a lot more than just water thrown at her. If this were the 1930s, she’d be the head of the BDM (girls’ wing of the Hitler Youth). She’s human garbage. I don’t feel sorry for her, and whatever terrible shit comes her way, she will…

I had a very similar experience. It was obnoxious.
I took pictures when I was there. I don’t remember them say not to. I think we were lucking in that we flew in from the Big Island and went straight there and caught the last tour for something. It was quiet though.
I never like eating in house when on vacation. For the frugal vacationer I suppose if you must. But the only meals I would every consider eating in my room is breakfast. Then again I would only bring my wife, so dining out every night would be in the budget. My advice is don’t bring kids so you can afford a real…
While this was 20 years ago, I was there for a few days. Waikiki was meh. Went to the the Arizona Memorial and got to drive around Ford Island which was not open to the public at the time. They had also just put the Missouri there. Like others, we drove up to the North Shore through the Dole Plantation and then spent…
Please note as you read this that my wife and I took 7 of our 8 kids (it’s a Brady Bunch thing) to Oahu and these suggestions reflect that.
Waimea is wonderful for familes in Summer, calm, sunny, though parking is problematic. However the big waves on the North Shore occur during the Winter months. Pipeline, Rocky Point, and Sunset all break on shallow reefs but Waimea has the largest and most powerful waves on that side of the island because its waves…
Completely agree about Waikiki. Definitely don’t attempt to drive a car there if you must stay there. In one of my previous jobs, I was lucky enough to travel to Honolulu quite often, and I used to stay out in Kapolei because it was close to where my work location was. It was usually very quiet and peaceful, and the…
We just came back!
Amazing! my parents always had various raised gardens and fruit trees when I was growing up. Unfortunately I am confined to an apartment now! so space is limited... i do want to try again, the pepper plant was very happy aside from the bugs thing. seeds might be the way to go. I want to try tomatoes too.
If you have enough money to live in a place like that, why not spring for an extra-fancy air purifier and keep your smoking or fish-microwaving or enema-party-having to yourself, ya know?
Well, I can articulate why it appeals to me: it shows this tragic story of an inordinately wealthy, privileged family that not only fell out of riches and relevance, somehow they became deranged squatters/hoarders living in derelict conditions. Their house had no heat, electricity, or running water. They were eating…
Last year my friends threw me a Grey Gardens themed birthday party. We wore our best costumes of the day, drank from Mason jars and played GG Bingo while watching the movie. A friend even borrowed a raccoon pelt for the occasion. I got choked up by how happy I was that my friends so got me. A few friends had no idea…
Oh man, how I wish that were true and we wouldn’t have to deal with the offspring of these morons into the foreseeable future.
Pekgoz says he once identified as a feminist “until he gradually realized that it wasn’t gonna get him laid.”
I love chickens! This little guy is definately a rooster chick, and I fear it’s pretty much impossible to train them not to crow. BUT.. years ago as part of my vet schooling I worked for a huge animal hospital in So Cal and assisted in a surgical de-crowing of a beloved suburbian rooster. It was a total success, quick…
