I am looking for a shady park to let my kids play. We often go to the park by the South Shore Market in Ward because it is shady in the morning, but we are getting tired of the same places ….

Everywhere is under the hot sun in the morning ….

Please let me know if you know of any good parks in the shade for children to play.

I was thinking of moving and looking at condo listings in central Waikiki.

When I came to Hawaii, I didn't know about it and lived there, but
along the way, a friend told me about it and informed me of the dangers of popcorn sealing.
They said it was a ceiling treatment that contained asbestos, and that if you touched it in any way, or on a dry day, the powder would fly around and if you inhaled it, you would get lung cancer.

The room we looked at this time had a popcorn ceiling, but
the owner was trying to rent it without explaining that at all, so we are not going to rent it.

Many of the condos in Waikiki have popcorn ceilings, so if you are going to rent a condo, I would recommend that you find a place with a clean ceiling and sign a contract to avoid health hazards.

I was looking for a long term rental in Royal Kuhio and asked a lot of questions to a private owner who advertises property rentals on Vivinavi.

I told him about the asbestos in the ceiling and suddenly he stopped responding.

Many people rent without telling me about the asbestos.

It's true that asbestos drifts
through the air in invisible fine powder, so before you know it, it's drifting through the air from the ceiling
and making the floor rough.

Families with children should
definitely not have a popcorn ceiling.

Or you should tell your landlord and ask him to remove the popcorn ceiling.

I am also very concerned.

The collapsed condo in Florida seems to have used materials and cost savings in cutting corners.

Condos over 40 years old are a concern.

The fact that the land was swampy probably had an impact.

I have heard that in Honolulu, the land in Waikiki and Kakaako is reclaimed land, but I wonder if it is safe ?

Real estate will make it harder to sell older condos.

There was a time in the 1970s when Japanese general contractors were rushing to Hawaii.
At that time, condos in Waikiki managed by Japanese companies had well-constructed piles and foundations
and the columns were well calculated structurally, so there were no problems.
Condos built by an American construction company have strength problems.

The percentage of popcorn ceilings containing asbestos ranges from 1% to 10%.
I used to work for a law firm specializing in asbestos litigation.
However, the lung cancer rate is high only for long-term exposures, especially for smokers, who are five to ten times more likely to develop lung cancer than nonsmokers.
Unless you break a ceiling, the amount of asbestos in the air will be next to none.
The chance of getting lung cancer after a few EXPOSURE of asbestos is close to zero.
Vigilance is of course necessary, but there is no need to be more vigilant than necessary.

I think it totally depends on the size, roofing materials, etc.
Most places will give you an estimate for free, so I think it's best to get
estimates from a few companies to be sure.
You can also read reviews on Yelp and other websites
so I think that would also be a good reference.

Regardless of race, I feel that too many people from Japan, with a few exceptions, are Grumpy and have bad personalities.
If they were in Japan, they would be buried because everyone is like that, but if they were in Hawaii, everyone would hate them.
People from Japan are "nervous", "only think about using others to their own advantage", "don't accept opinions that deny them even a little", "can't discuss", "always expressionless", "no love for others"
When they are hated for that, they say "Hawaii is no good" or "Hawaii is not good". I'll start saying.
Your personality is causing pain to those around you, so please realize it as soon as possible.
Please abandon modern Japanese values.

hmmm, that's a narrow view. I'm a guy myself, but wanting to do it is rather secondary.
There are many other things I want to do, such as discussing and exchanging information.
I think it's a very small percentage of people who only think about doing things ?
I think it's stupid to take a few prominent opinions and say "all men are like that !".

She is a relatively new friend whom I met after moving to Hawaii, but whenever I have a question ( I want to ask her, such as how to write in English or how to do something ), she asks me a lot of questions at all hours. I try to help her by texting her questions, but she never reads my questions about her specialty. When I helped her with school procedures for her relatives, it took a long time for no reason even though I asked for a report on the results.

I understand that I am an idiot for responding so earnestly, and I know I shouldn't have high expectations, but I feel like I'm not doing enough. I don't think I'm doing anything to make people hate me, but I'm feeling ashamed that I'm being taken advantage of. I would like to know if you have had similar experiences and still continue to be friends ? I would like to know how to casually keep my distance from them even if they ask me questions.

August,

Thank you for your first post and message. I hope you will continue to share with those close to you the kindness that many of you have shared information with us on the numerous unemployment insurance topics.

I know it has been a difficult year with the Corona disaster, adding not only the stress of social distance and unemployment stress, but also the stress of the unemployment insurance process, which is not well maintained. And I think the hardest of all was for the Essential Workers who were forced to come to work at a time when they did not have such generous benefits as unemployment insurance and were not sure what Corona was or how to deal with it.

I can only hope that by next year all the unemployment insurance topics will be gone and all of us will be back to our pre-Corona routine.

Thank you for everything.

In case anyone else is like me, I thought it might be helpful ? so I posted this.

Here's my follow-up report, I emailed UI but it doesn't look like I'll be hearing from them.

I made an INITIAL claim on July 6, called 250 times on July 8, and finally got through.

I haven't worked since last March, but as soon as the call connects, they ask for my social security number, which I have not had since last March.

Next, I was asked if I had ever gone back to work.

When I said no, they asked me ? what was this amount I received last year, and when I said SEVERANCE, they asked me ? what was the amount I received this year, and I said

it was SEVERANCE. I answered "SEVERANCE". I answered, " SEVERANCE.

Then he asked me to email him all my paystubs from last October to this March.

I emailed them all on July 8, but there was no action, and the last two I filed, for June 26 and July 3, are still pending.

Yesterday, the file for July 10 was ready, and when I filed it, it was displayed in a strange place. I am full of anxiety.

I'm so anxious that I called 300 times today and was able to get through, so I emailed them my paycheck stub and told them I wanted my account fixed

on PEUC's extension screen until September.

[When did you send me your paycheck ? ] July 8.

[You're not the only one waiting, so] How long should I wait ?

[I don't know, the sparvisor is taking turns] I'm sorry, let me talk to the sparvisor directly.

[Why, what are you talking about ? ] Because last week I called 250 times and finally got through, and today I called 300 times and finally got through, so I need to know how long I have to wait
and
what to do.

[Actually, it was me you talked to last week. I haven't seen the paycheck you sent me yet, but I'll give it to the supervisor when I have time, so you'll have to wait. I didn't say so, but I thought so in my mind.

I had a very nice person answer the phone before, so I was hoping ? he would answer the phone, but to my surprise, it was the same person as last week.

I hope he is actually a very nice and nice person who is good at his job, even though he talks like a jerk.


[And I'll let you know what to do and what the next step is. He said.

Ahhhh. Another round hair loss, it's going to spread.

My body and mind are already in shambles from job hunting with three companies every week, and unemployment insurance is starting to smell like another long battle. I'm feeling like I'm going to be in it for the long haul.

I am contacting you in the hope that I can be of some help to you.

Thanks for sharing. I still see the trend of requesting copies of pay stubs, and it seems like the UI office is getting more and more detailed as we head into September, when the PEUC is likely to end.

June → September PEUC extension is in the middle of the season and there should be a flood of requests for Examiner Approval, so you will have to wait your turn.

The "Receiving Unemployment Insurance, and Working as a Sole Proprietor" Topic contains some tips, so you might want to look for the Topic and read it.

However, the call center advice seems to be scattered regarding sole proprietorships as well. If there are no advice posts, I would suggest contacting the call center and asking the call center staff to double check with the Examiner and ask how to apply currently. In the future, I think it would be easier to get the attention of people receiving UI unemployment insurance, including sole proprietors, if you post in the "Unemployment Insurance Receiving, Sole Proprietor Jobs" topic instead of this topic.

I think the mainland US and Hawaii are different.

There is a shortage of homes and condos in Hawaii

because people who can work remotely are moving to Hawaii.

As you know, Oahu is a small island and popular properties are selling

quickly.

Homeowners will be getting letters, emails, and phone calls as well.

"Someone wants to buy your house, room.
If you are ready to sell, please contact us immediately." And.

As long as prices are going up, real estate will go up too.

If you are currently renting and plan to live in Hawaii permanently, it would be

better to buy while there is inventory. I have never met anyone who bought a house in Hawaii and lost money.

Typical pattern of losing a lot of money in real estate investment.

It is a large position taken at such a time when everyone is bullish, you are bullish, and real estate prices are near their highest. On the other hand, positions that you take the courage to buy at such a time when everyone is in pain and too afraid to buy will not cause you to lose a lot of money.

If you have a long lasting mouth sore on your gum or other area, you may have something wrong inside the crown
if you have a crown or other treatment in the vicinity of the sore.
If you have a root canal, you may not feel any pain inside the crown
so you need to be careful.
In fact, I just went to the dentist and it looks like I have a cracked tooth with a crown on it
and I have an infection that looks like a mouth ulcer on my gum.
I ended up having to pull it out, so please be careful.
I suspect herpes ? on the lips.

In any case, if it lasts two weeks or something, be careful, I was told.
I don't mean to scare you, but the worst that could happen is oral cancer. Wasn't Hori Chiemi like that? ?
