Online ODDballs...
August 21st, 2009 by ShaunaWith the popularity of blogs and social media sites, you really see a wide range of users. Some are new to technology and others lack cyber etiquette. You see wit and humor or can be turned off by disrespectful comments or embarrassing information.
There really is no rule book on how to navigate your way through these online forums. This was my first-ever blog... I never even read any blogs before! I always wondered why one person's opinion should matter so much that they need to blog about it daily. So in that sense, I sincerely thank you all for reading O&E and responding to what I have to say or share about these ODD stories.
What I do like about these social networks is how fast information is posted and passed on. This CNN story was making the rounds on Facebook and was the most popular story on the CNN site yesterday morning...
The 12 most annoying types of Facebookers
CNN
Facebook, for better or worse, is like being at a big party with all your friends, family, acquaintances and co-workers.
Facebook can be a great tool, and an occasional annoyance. What kind of Facebooker are you?
There are lots of fun, interesting people you're happy to talk to when they stroll up. Then there are the other people, the ones who make you cringe when you see them coming. This article is about those people.
Sure, Facebook can be a great tool for keeping up with folks who are important to you. Take the status update, the 160-character message that users post in response to the question, "What's on your mind?" An artful, witty or newsy status update is a pleasure — a real-time, tiny window into a friend's life.
But far more posts read like naval-gazing diary entries, or worse, spam. A recent study categorized 40 percent of Twitter tweets as "pointless babble," and it wouldn't be surprising if updates on Facebook, still a fast-growing social network, break down in a similar way.
Combine dull status updates with shameless self-promoters, "friend-padders" and that friend of a friend who sends you quizzes every day, and Facebook becomes a daily reminder of why some people can get on your nerves.
Here are 12 of the most annoying types of Facebook users:
The Let-Me-Tell-You-Every-Detail-of-My-Day Bore. "I'm waking up." "I had Wheaties for breakfast." "I'm bored at work." "I'm stuck in traffic." You're kidding! How fascinating! No moment is too mundane for some people to broadcast unsolicited to the world. Just because you have 432 Facebook friends doesn't mean we all want to know when you're waiting for the bus.
The Self-Promoter. OK, so we've probably all posted at least once about some achievement. And sure, maybe your friends really do want to read the fascinating article you wrote about beet farming. But when almost EVERY update is a link to your blog, your poetry reading, your 10k results or your art show, you sound like a bragger or a self-centered careerist.
The Friend-Padder. The average Facebook user has 120 friends on the site. Schmoozers and social butterflies — you know, the ones who make lifelong pals on the subway — might reasonably have 300 or 400. But 1,000 "friends?" Unless you're George Clooney or just won the lottery, no one has that many. That's just showing off.
The Town Crier. "Michael Jackson is dead!!!" You heard it from me first! Me, and the 213,000 other people who all saw it on TMZ. These Matt Drudge wannabes are the reason many of us learn of breaking news not from TV or news sites but from online social networks. In their rush to trumpet the news, these people also spread rumors, half-truths and innuendo. No, Jeff Goldblum did not plunge to his death from a New Zealand cliff.
The TMIer. "Brad is heading to Walgreens to buy something for these pesky hemorrhoids." Boundaries of privacy and decorum don't seem to exist for these too-much-information updaters, who unabashedly offer up details about their sex lives, marital troubles and bodily functions. Thanks for sharing.
The Bad Grammarian. "So sad about Fara Fauset but Im so gladd its friday yippe". Yes, I know the punctuation rules are different in the digital world. And, no, no one likes a spelling-Nazi schoolmarm. But you sound like a moron.
The Sympathy-Baiter. "Barbara is feeling sad today." "Man, am I glad that's over." "Jim could really use some good news about now." Like anglers hunting for fish, these sad sacks cast out their hooks — baited with vague tales of woe — in the hopes of landing concerned responses. Genuine bad news is one thing, but these manipulative posts are just pleas for attention.
The Lurker. The Peeping Toms of Facebook, these voyeurs are too cautious, or maybe too lazy, to update their status or write on your wall. But once in a while, you'll be talking to them and they'll mention something you posted, so you know they're on your page, hiding in the shadows. It's just a little creepy.
The Crank. These curmudgeons, like the trolls who spew hate in blog comments, never met something they couldn't complain about. "Carl isn't really that impressed with idiots who don't realize how idiotic they are." [Actual status update.] Keep spreading the love.
The Paparazzo. Ever visit your Facebook page and discover that someone's posted a photo of you from last weekend's party — a photo you didn't authorize and haven't even seen? You'd really rather not have to explain to your mom why you were leering like a drunken hyena and French-kissing a bottle of Jagermeister.
The Maddening Obscurist. "If not now then when?" "You'll see..." "Grist for the mill." "John is, small world." "Dave thought he was immune, but no. No, he is not." [Actual status updates, all.] Sorry, but you're not being mysterious — just nonsensical.
The Chronic Inviter. "Support my cause. Sign my petition. Play Mafia Wars with me. Which 'Star Trek' character are you? Here are the 'Top 5 cars I have personally owned.' Here are '25 Things About Me.' Here's a drink. What drink are you? We're related! I took the 'What President Are You?' quiz and found out I'm Millard Fillmore! What president are you?"
-----
Time to confess! Which one are you? I signed up for Twitter mainly to promote O&E and potentially reach out to new readers. I don’t think it’s made much of a difference so far.
Then like most tweets, I did a few of those “awesome meals” at some fancy restaurants and some random photos of my social life. I pretty much stopped that though and went back to O&E updates.
And speaking of this blog, which kind of commenter are you?
What pet peeves do you have about bloggers or those who comment on blogs?
Do people lack cyber etiquette nowadays? Is there a polite way to let people know their comments are rude or offensive without attacking someone or ruining the atmosphere of the blog?
I've always credited the success of O&E to you, the readers. That's why it's critical we respect one another and have fun. And there's nothing wrong with agreeing to disagree. The variety of opinions and experiences we all have is what makes for such interesting, and ODD, conversations!

online ODDballs.. you mean DA HIVE???? hee hee...
August 21st, 2009 at 1:01 am
dang, HNL2LAS! it thought you said something else!
ha ha!
August 21st, 2009 at 1:36 am
aaaghhh... what kind of commentor am i? a honeyBEE vampiress commentator who like to have fun but sometimes BEE serious. most of the time, though... i make comments to go along with what the other BEEs are talking about (sometimes even on topic! woo hoo!). and if i don't understand, no biggie! most of the time though, our comments aren't on topic and, to the general observer, might not make a lot of sense. but that's the fun of it... i'm sure we've all got jobs, we've all got responsibilities that we can't be joking around at all the time. this blog is a release... sometimes from reality! it's crazy! it's fun! it's ODD, for heaven's sake!
BUT, and it's a BEEg BUT, even with all the craziness and joking that goes around, it's done with respect. i say, if you make a comment that no one understands and that others have pointed out as being pointless or offensive towards someone else, back off and apologize. no harm in apologizing, right? sometimes you can't remember who said what by the time you get to commenting and comment to the wrong person - it's totally understandable, especially when there are hundreds of posts - but it's always nice to clarify it later if you realize that you screwed up!
we all screw up from time to time but we can certainly BEE nice about it!
i realize this is a public blog and anyone can say pretty much what they want. however, as a "HIVE" we have to BEE aware of others as well. if others don't comment back to you or you notice that most of the "HIVE" doesn't comment after you do... maybe you gotta think twice about what you're posting. is this the appropriate place for it? most blogs and forums have a certain "tone." if you read previous ones, you can get a feel for it... and sometimes, it's the reason why you started posting in the first place! do you post to enhance the blog as it was? or do you post to make the blog how you want it to BEE, just BEEcause you're here, now?
if you don't care about what everyone else thinks... mayBEE you should. BEEcause, that's what makes this blog - and the other triad blogs - different from other run of the mill blogs. we've fostered a lot of friendships here and we'd like to keep it that way. i'm not saying we're not open to making new friends and HIVE members... i'm saying that we've come this far BEEcause we genuinely care about each other.
of course, everything naturally evolves and i don't expect anything, this blog included, to stay the exactly the same, stuck in time. i just wouldn't want it to BEE taken over by africanized BEEs!
kidding, kidding! kinda...
maybe just varroa mites!
*stepping off soapbox now! you may return to your regular programming...

August 21st, 2009 at 1:37 am
holy SMOKE! that was long... sorry for the noveletta!
August 21st, 2009 at 3:33 am
The bloggers here on the Advertiser (at least the ones I read) are polite and friendly. I've posted on othe blogs on newspaper sites where the people are rude, disrespectful, hateful....I could go on but you all know what I'm talking about.
Must be because we all have connections to Hawaii and that common bond makes it more "ohana".
I've always been a respectful blogger, even back in my AOL days. Show respect get respect....most times anyway.
August 21st, 2009 at 5:03 am
Morning all!!!!!!!!!
August 21st, 2009 at 5:20 am
OL wakes up and BOWS to SNOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
"You go GIRL!" Gawd how I hate that phrase, but HOW APPROPRIATE it BEE.
OL.........SNOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW''s his buddy
August 21st, 2009 at 5:33 am
Good morning jaydee, teejay and Ocean Lover! We beat anklebiters on this fine statehood day...
August 21st, 2009 at 5:34 am
facebook's good for playing farmtown and bejeweled. it's ok for keeping up with friends across the country (I worked for a large airline before my current job, so I have a handful of friends around the country and the world who I like but who I probably wouldn't stay in touch with too much if left on my own). for the most part, though, if we fell out of touch after high school graduation, there's probably a reason. between alumni stuff and friends of friends, there's probably been ample opportunity for me to reach you...I just haven't.
jeez, I sound like a grizzled hillbilly, no?
I signed up for twitter to follow a couple of companies. United Airlines posts two hour "twares" every week. Haven't found one to purchase, yet, but the prices are pretty good on them. Past Pomodoro (good, decent Italian chain in california) posts specials on there sometimes. some street food vendors post their locations and specials on twitter as well. for the personal posts? not really interested what some particular celeb or friend is eating for breakfast today.
August 21st, 2009 at 5:40 am
Good morning and happy friday!!
Happy Statehood Day over there.
August 21st, 2009 at 5:44 am
Hey Queenie...........hurry up and get "sweet".
No BEE so lazy!
OL............"can lead da BEE to watah.................."
August 21st, 2009 at 6:00 am
Good Morning!
Good job snow! Might have been long but me thinks you put it into perfect words.
It's funny how some personalities come out even without us meeting IRL. And other personalities are alter egos. hahaha it's ALL good and it's ALL fun.
I don't tweet, it would be useless for me as I don't even access personal computer time while at work and I don't have anything that would give me portable access. I don't think you all would be excited to know that I was in the dairy aisle at Safeway ... stuff like that.
Now... FB.... interesting topic since I'm very new to it and still figuring out the ins and outs. Overall, its a lot of fun, like talking stories with plenny people at one time. I esp like meeting up w/ people I haven't seen for a long time but are still special to me.
Now here's the annoying one: the MLM recruiter. I accepted a friend invite from someone I know socially, see once in awhile, knew each other from clubbing days. The ONLY things he posts are generic "Hey, get on this phone call today!" or "I have 5000 people in my downline now!" Don't get me wrong. I am a believer in MLM, it works if done the right way. This is not the right way.
August 21st, 2009 at 6:07 am
One thing about FB is that you have diff circles of friends on it and some things you post may not relate to all. My recent one is a perfect example if you all (on my FB) have been seeing me write and post pics and vids of my friend. Long story short, he was in a coma last month, we prepared for the worst. To watch his progress has been nothing short of amazing and now to see him up and playing music again is a miracle. He's a man who has touched so many people through music and he's one of my best friends. So yah, a lot of musicians are on my FB and we go back and forth.
Then I make references to "da hive" and those peeps are all like "who dat?"
My niece in Calif thinks I'm nuts.
August 21st, 2009 at 6:14 am
I no moa FB or Twitta or watevah. No moa time and sked let out TMI. I blog hea cuz you folks crack me up. Too funny! But still respectful and serious wen called for.
August 21st, 2009 at 6:18 am
The Friend Padder: now why would someone send a friend invite when I don't even know who that is? I think they see me on a mutual friend's list and just click, which is great if I knew them but I don't.
So the first two I clicked ignore and everyone did what you all are doing now... drop jaw and said "noooo, you did NOT just do that". I didn't realize it was offensive. I mean, why should they BEE offended if they don't know me?
Lesson learned.
So now I have 3 friend requests that I don't know how to make disappear from my page. I guess they'll just stay there.
August 21st, 2009 at 6:21 am
...and annuda thing! (whoo, you unleashed a monster Shauna)
People who put screen names and/or not their real pics for profile. Sorry, I know lots of us in da hive do this but no matter cuz I know who's who... pretty much.
But when I'm searching for a long lost friend and there's 8 with the same name and two are in the same state with each other... how do I know how to find them?
August 21st, 2009 at 6:23 am
One more thing: does FB have a tutorial link? Everything is hit or miss and I don't know what I'm doing sometimes.
Okay, I reeeeaaaallllly need to get ready for work.
Have a wonderful day everyone! I'll catch up on posts when I get home.
Bye!
August 21st, 2009 at 6:36 am
Good morning everyone!!!
Snow: AMEN...
August 21st, 2009 at 6:59 am
Good morning.
Who else is working today?
I'm not on facebook but I'm guilty of most of that stuff on this blog site. Gotta stop posting now.
Have a good one.
August 21st, 2009 at 7:34 am
Good Morning Hive!
August 21st, 2009 at 7:40 am
Thank you sista snow! *fist bump* !!! Look at the thoughtful insight that happens AFTER MIDNITE, my fellow Vampiress! bahahaha...
August 21st, 2009 at 7:50 am
This is a brand new world for me. I am not on any social network and I don't want to be on any social network, but I have a Twitter account on which I have posted only three times...to get information about cat behavior. I just follow (lurk?) Since I started posting, I do worry about whether I am breaking any kind of cyber etiquette. Last thing I want to do is to offend. This is a new experience for me.
August 21st, 2009 at 7:51 am
I'm a lurker....someone has been using this name for dastardly deeds.
I am innocent.
Shauna:
2day iz my dyoff...let's see, I woke up, waited for the cleaning lady, got my car emissioned, had breakfast at J-N-Box.
Come and visit me on FB...watch me break 50K on BJ. Oh, I just saw Elvis leaving the building. Time to go BD shopping.
L8rs...
Kirsten
August 21st, 2009 at 7:51 am
I don't have Twitter or Facebook.
For this blog I would still consider myself a lurker. After my first post in the morning, I usually just end up reading the comments for the rest of the day. Unless I find an ODD story
or try to reply to a comment.
August 21st, 2009 at 7:52 am
Yeah, Mafia Wars and Farkle are like a disease on FB. I just wanna go one, see what my friends are up to, and "talk" to the ones I don't see often enough, or are far away. After a while, the requests become annoying.
August 21st, 2009 at 7:52 am
Oh, sorry, forgot. Morning everyone.
August 21st, 2009 at 7:53 am
The only reason I started posting is because when Shauna found me lurking she invited me to post and she said, "Don't be intimidated." Coming from Kalihi, anything that smacks of, "You scared?" becomes a challenge!
August 21st, 2009 at 7:58 am
GAH! I fit a few of those unfavorable FB peeps! Ohhhh I'm sorry I share stuff in my day.. or TMI...... or that I'm BEEtching.. or, or... I have to tell you about a great deal going on, SHEEEZ! hehe... I'll just shaddup and go sit in my corner of boring, quietness...and sulk... sigh....
August 21st, 2009 at 8:02 am
snow and HNL2LAS: Did you remember to flick the light BEEfore bed last night?
I won't ask snow to expand on what she thought HNL2LAS said. Would that BEE considered TMI?
snow: Thanks for sharing! I think what's important, as you said, is to get a feel for the tone of the blog. You likely wouldn't joke around about ODD stuff on a business/political blog or curse on a religious one... I think sometimes we forget, me included, that this is a very public blog. Imagine you went to a public library and clicked on this and read the comments. Would you cringe at what you wrote? Luckily half the time we're talking in riddles so the average person wouldn't know what is going on... I also loved what you said about the whole Hive concept. Since we're a team and friends, it's cool when conversations can BEE enjoyed by many. But it's important also to not offend anyone (racist, prejudice, etc...). And how scary! Africanized BEES or varroa mites!! Thank YOU for caring so much about O&E to want to make this blog a happy place!
August 21st, 2009 at 8:08 am
jaydee: Yup, Hawaii is our common bond. I also like that a good portion of the regulars are Mainlanders like you! As you can tell, we always love hearing about the food up there or other interesting things that paradise, unfortunately, doesn't have!
teejay: Morning! Are you back at work today? Or is it a holiday for you guys?
Ocean Lover: That's right...bow to the woman!!
What kind of trouble are you going to get yourself into today?
August 21st, 2009 at 8:08 am
So I guess Viagra only works with the lights on?
August 21st, 2009 at 8:26 am
matt: Is farmtown that fun? I actually see quite a lot of folks playing it. I just stick to bejeweled for now! I don't post a status update on my score but I do show off my top medals!
And I haven't kept in touch with any high school friends so Facebook has definitely helped with that... that's also cool to keep in touch with former co-workers. A lot of folks have left the paper over the years and we keep in touch on FB. "Twares" sound cool! I wonder if lots of airlines do that. Would BEE a good way to stay updated on travel deals! And I heard that some lunchwagons do tweets. I think when Twitter went down a couple weeks back BEEcause of that hacker, his business suffered a bit...
Creative: Haha! And I guess Viagra is a bad word...I mean it puts your comment into moderation...
August 21st, 2009 at 8:27 am
Good Morning All!!!
snow - You are so old and wise........ that is why I'm always so nice to you
August 21st, 2009 at 8:36 am
I do my greetings every morning even if I don't had everything else to say.
August 21st, 2009 at 8:51 am
Good morning!
Snow covered it quite nicely in #5. Good job Snow.
Yes, the HA blogs are pretty amazing in the quality of
posts and the respectful tone, even when the topic of
the day is a controversial one.
Happy Statehood day! Celebrate, it is a day for celebration after all.
August 21st, 2009 at 8:53 am
Good Morning all you Hivettes
Shauna Flick It!!!! bwahahahahaha Maybe you HoneyBEEs can do that.
You forgot the phrase, if you can't turn it off after 4 hours, call the .............ERECTRICIAN
August 21st, 2009 at 8:53 am
I didn't need Viagra this morning, it was working fine. hahaha
On FB, everyone just throws pillows at me, squirt me with stuff, give me food, give me Disney rides and and other stuff and I'm so BEEzee just trying the return the favors. No mo time to write comments. hahaha
August 21st, 2009 at 8:55 am
No can comment now. Bee back laters. Honey-Do awaits on my DAY OFF
hee hee just testing Make like Twitter
August 21st, 2009 at 8:56 am
Moderation? what word did I use?
August 21st, 2009 at 8:57 am
Dinner at Kaimuki Grill last night, it was packed!
August 21st, 2009 at 9:16 am
M: Don't use Viagra!!!
I mentioned earlier that you will BEE put into moderation!
August 21st, 2009 at 9:18 am
August 21st, 2009 at 9:29 am
bamboohouse808: Calling snow old?!? tsk tsk...
But speaking of snow and old music, I got a prize today! I'm thinking of awarding it to snow or the person who best addresses today's topic!
Two tickets to tonight's Statehood Celebration concert. From the rockin' '50s — music from The Coasters, The Platters and The Drifters. (Heard of these guys?) Concert is at 7 p.m. at the Hawaii Convention Center.
August 21st, 2009 at 9:34 am
good morning HIVE!! i'm still tired after squeezing my brain cells to write that ultra-long post! thanks all for your positive comments! (at least i didn't wake up to find "what the heck is she talking about?" hee hee...
)
HNL2LAS - you never know what's going to happen after midnight!!
and, don't sulk... just BEE your sweet 'ole self!
bamboohouse808 - eeerrrrr, thanks for your support?????????????
i can always count on you for something... i just haven't figured out what yet!!
qb - in regard to the general public's perception of this blog... if you catch it at the right moment, you might think we were crazy! for example, if they read OL's and BF's exchange regarding ashes and ped egg dust the other day... "wwwwaaaatttt?????" which is exactly what i thought when i started reading O&E... i lurked for a long time BEEcause i couldn't figure out what was going on! ha ha! now, i'm probably guilty of too many nonsensical posts!!
anyway, you're the one who deserves the THANKS! you give us the opportunity and the forum to BEE our crazy selves! so, thank YOU!
August 21st, 2009 at 9:36 am
Thanks Shauna, I must have missed that.
August 21st, 2009 at 9:39 am
qb - thanks for thinking of me regarding the tickets, but just wanted to let you know that i wouldn't BEE able to make use of them anyway. we BEE playing tourist this weekend! yay! so, i hope some other BEE can! sounds like it would BEE fun... even if it's music from BEEfore my time (that was for bamboo! ha ha!)!
August 21st, 2009 at 9:42 am
ynaku - if you can't turn it off after 4 hours... CHICKEN NUT BREAD! sorry...
heh heh.
August 21st, 2009 at 9:57 am
Shauna: Back to work for me. My stitches are starting to itch and the dressing comes off tomorrow. If you hear a loud scream from the east side of Oahu that's just me having the bandage removed by my son.
August 21st, 2009 at 9:58 am
SNOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW..........
Whatchu doin?
Just back from SAM's CLUB and WAL-MART. Da Wife BEE putting EVERYTING away! Bless her...........
Today's post.........."RESPECT" and "HAVE FUN". Only ting, some people have DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS of those two.
OL..............not getting into trouble........
August 21st, 2009 at 10:04 am
snow: Fist bump for #5. Well said.
I guess I'm a Lurker. But not the creepy kind.
FB is new to me too. Haven't really used it much except for a few games. I try to be respectful of other people's time by not bombarding them with a bazillion requests. Usually I just respond in kind to whatever requests I get.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:13 am
Good Morning Hive!
Wow! *MEGA FIST BUMP* for snow!!!!
Well said!
Dang, I picked a bad night to go to sleep early. Sorry!
I couldn't help it ... I've BEEn so tired lately BEEcause I still have this danged cough!
August 21st, 2009 at 10:23 am
For me, I can't stand "The Bad Grammarian" and "The TMIer." Even worse if it's the SAME PERSON!
With the "Bad Grammarian" you have to REALLY take the time to decipher what they are trying to say -- and more often then not, what they have to say is just meaningless. So then you feel like you just wasted your time reading some idiot's nonsense. Great.
It's like trying to eat a lau lau, but there's 134,872 ti leaves wrapping the thing. And then when you FINALLY get all the ti leaves off, all there is in there is a giant piece of fat! GAH!!! IDIOTS!!!
August 21st, 2009 at 10:26 am
BHAHAHAHA don't use Vi-a-ga-ra... it'll put you into moderation! Sounds funny!
August 21st, 2009 at 10:32 am
BF: I said sorry already!
August 21st, 2009 at 10:37 am
teejay - hope that you're healing up nicely!! sounds like it was painful!
OL - i'm not doing anything... yet. i gotta pack for the weekend, though.... maybe meet my nephew who's going back to UNLV tonight!
TDK - thanks!
bananafysh - thanks, too! lau lau thing cracked me up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 21st, 2009 at 10:40 am
@HNL2LAS -- Hey, I wasn't talking about you! (mostly
)
Your rants and stuff amuse me. (When they're not confusing me)
I understand that they're therapeutic for you, so, RANT ON!
Now I gotta go take something for my Broken Brain.
haha! I keed, I KEED!!!
August 21st, 2009 at 10:43 am
HNL2LAS -
ha ha ha...
bananafysh - you caught a cold again?
or just the neverending cough???
August 21st, 2009 at 10:45 am
UNLV what a great schoool! GO REB!
August 21st, 2009 at 10:47 am
hmmm BF got the neverending coff cuz I bachi'd him after making fun of me! bhahaha nahhhhh!!!
August 21st, 2009 at 10:48 am
@teejay -- I dunno why, but your "situation" reminded me of this movie from the 70's -- The Manitou. Did you see that one?
Tony Curtis starred in it --- there was this lady who had this lump growing on her back -- it eventually turned into this Native American shaman! He was an evil shaman, and was up to no good or something. I forget. Hey, it's BEEn years!
Any one else remember The Manitou?
Banana ... hoping teejay doesn't have a evil shaman or kahuna growing from his back
August 21st, 2009 at 10:55 am
I got the neverending cough.
My wife has it too.
I think we need to buy stock in Ricola now.
Gah! Did you jinx me HNL2LAS?
I will never make fun of you on FB again.
Or at least this week.
haha!

Oh yeah! THE MANITOU.......gives me the heeBEE jeeBEE's thinking bout it. I think it was a "tumor" yet it was a living, breathing, monster critter!
Anyone ever went to WAL-MART at a "shift change"? Its the STRANGEST THING...........I had my morning cup of coffee then ANOTHER cup of coffee from Starbuck's. "Nature" starts calling something fierce and I'm by the school supplies in the back with Da Wife. I tell her "Can you hold my coffee as I may spring a leak any second".....she rolls her eyes and I head off towards the back restroom by the camping stuff.........I get there and there's 142 Wal-Mart employees doing some kind of skit/cheer????? The strangest thing.....I hoped they'd break up and just scatter but they blocked the restroom. Had to go ALL THE WAY to the front of the store like a lil boy walking CROSS LEGGED.
OL...........hope he no get in trouble talking bout his coffee escapades
August 21st, 2009 at 11:04 am
BF, I see a lot of movies but never heard of Manitou. It doesn't even ring a bell I am not worthy.
Hope you get better.
have a good weekend everybody.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:11 am
@OL -- I get the heeBEE-jeeBEEs thinking about it too!
THat was one of the scariest things I have ever witnessed!
Oh, I get creeped out by the movie as well.
haha!
@che -- I don't remember a whole lot about that movie, but I recall seeing on tv WAAAAAAY back when.
Here's a link to the info:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077904/
August 21st, 2009 at 11:15 am
@snow -- You know what is trippy?
When you can rant about somebody, even RIGHT TO THEIR FACE, and they have absolutely NO CLUE that you are TALKING ABOUT THEM!!!!
I dunno whether I should laugh or cry....
August 21st, 2009 at 11:22 am
As one of the newBEEs here in the Hive, I hope I haven't done or said anything to offend, disgust, or shock any of the BEEs.
As far as the other sites, I can't say anything. I don't have a Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter page. I also don't have any sort of "professional" page listing my job title, company, education, etc.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:35 am
QB,
I wouldn't call Farmtown "fun" exactly...but it is somewhat addicting. the best food truck one I've found is the dessert truck in nyc. they update pretty regularly with their location and menu. now, i just have to get back to nyc to take advantage.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:43 am
@Shauna --
Yes, some people do. For the most part, most of the people who post here are considerate of each other. Not all, but most.
And there really is no polite way to let the few who are rude/offensive that their comments are out of line, because for the most part, they don't know how to take a hint. So sometimes you gotta give them a virtual "head slap" to tell them. As the moderator/Queen Bee, you have every right to do it.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:52 am
snow: It's more of a pain the the back both literally and figuratively. Humbug to take a shower and sleep but not really sore. The good and bad is that the doctor put a bandage that you leave on for four days and bad part I'm thinking is taking that thing off after four days. Gross!!!!!!!
BF/OL: Yes I remember the Manitou. I remember that old lady floating across the upstairs hall and that freaked me out. The seventies had all the great time horror movies like the Excorsit, The Omen, Carrie and Rosemary's Baby.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:52 am
yeah, the Let-Me-Tell-You-Every-Detail-of-My-Day Bores are kinda annoying.
I've already put a couple of those people on hide.
Had one guy ask to be my friend right out of the blue, did not know him at all, and he then proceeds to inundate me with political propaganda. I blew him off my friends list in short order.
August 21st, 2009 at 1:06 pm
@theDman -- Ooh, that's annoying. I had a few peeps like that -- I added them and just rant about all kinds of political stuff. I hide their feeds.
The other annoying one is people who want to add you as a friend, and you barely know them or they are a mutual friend. And then they bug and nag you to BEE their friend!
Sheesh, if you gotta ask more then once, just drop it! Take a hint: not wanted as a friend! And if you get added, it was probably because you were so annoying, that I just wanted you to shut up already.
August 21st, 2009 at 1:18 pm
So busy for me at work!
Does anyone else want those concert tickets?
August 21st, 2009 at 1:30 pm
@Shauna -- Fly me over and I'll take those tickets!
Or should I swim over again?
HA!
August 21st, 2009 at 2:53 pm
BananaFysh: Then you gotta swim back with the tickets in your mouth so they don't get wet! Seal those lips!
August 21st, 2009 at 3:15 pm
@Shauna -- Why would I take the tickets home? Isn't the concert tonight?
Very confused now...
August 21st, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Good thing is you can swim straight to Aloha tower so no need rent car
August 21st, 2009 at 4:10 pm
@Ukuhead -- As long as I no need swim through a sewage spill like how Lance did the other day, or up the Ala Wai, it should BEE okay.
August 21st, 2009 at 4:29 pm
Going back to FB, I've BEEn getting these notifications like "Someone has sent you a XXXXXXX --- Do you want to see who or send one back?"
And then you gotta send it to 16 friends just to see who sent it to you in the first place! Forget that!
August 21st, 2009 at 4:30 pm
So, first thing I did when I got up was.....
Then, you'll never guess what happened.....
I was like, OMG........!
Na, just kidding. Just back from a beautiful day at Kualoa
beach park. We watch that Cheap Eats on channel 5 every tuesday
and this week they featured a place in Waimanalo. I'd say about half
of Waimanalo was there! It's amazing what good publicity can
do around here!
Anyway, with regard to the topic, yeah, sometimes I slap my head at folks, but I'm sure I've beeen sent a virtual head slap once or twice! It's all good in the Hive! Great people and great blog host!
August 21st, 2009 at 4:36 pm
...plus, if the buzz in the Hive isn't to your liking, you can always close the computer, turn to your spouse, gf/bf and utter those dreaded words....
SO HONEY, HOW WAS YOUR DAY TODAY?
(it's never gotten that bad for me)
August 21st, 2009 at 4:42 pm
scott - ha ha ha! what a novel idea!
only thing is, by the time i get on the computer at home, everyone is sleeping! "rascal (my dog), how was your day today??" hee hee...
August 21st, 2009 at 4:43 pm
teejay - ewww... yeah, after four days? ick, ick, ick!!!
August 21st, 2009 at 4:44 pm
scott - forgot to ask you, how was that place in waimanalo? the one with the barBEEque?
August 21st, 2009 at 4:45 pm
bananafysh - sometimes, you just gotta laugh!!
August 21st, 2009 at 4:46 pm
@Scott -- You haven't had to "shut it down early" yet?
You musta BEEn drunk outta your skull.
HA!
August 21st, 2009 at 4:48 pm
@snow -- I guess if you don't laugh, you cry, huh?
Or get blown away by that "Whoosh"ing sound.
August 21st, 2009 at 4:51 pm
I mind my own business.....I got better things to do than judge people.
August 21st, 2009 at 4:54 pm
BF: I saw the same notifications and found they were coming from applications named like "Send your friend a XXXX". Strange thing is that I never installed those applications at all.
But I did install an app called "Send your friend a ZZZ" because someone sent me a "gift" of ZZZ. I suspect that might have been some sort of viral app that installs those other apps once you give it permission. I deleted the whole lot of them and haven't seen any more of those messages.
August 21st, 2009 at 5:00 pm
Snow, yeah, it's called Sweet Home Waimanalo. Though, it wasn't exactly Cheap Eats. The plate lunches were $8.50-$9.50. It was definately a quality over quantity place. The choices were small, but it was very good. I'd go again.
Banana, yeah, when I imbib the fermented stuff, I try to keep my posts civil. It works 95% of the time!
August 21st, 2009 at 5:10 pm
@TDK -- Hm, good idea. I'd better go and clear out some apps.
I hope it's not that "Send a scone to your friend" app though.
hee hee hee
August 21st, 2009 at 5:17 pm
@Scott -- I think I'm the opposite from you. If I partake in that stuff, it'll loosen my tongue a little too much, and then I get a lot "freer" with my opinions.
I don't think you wanna see that.
August 21st, 2009 at 5:18 pm
OMG! OMG!
Took the wife to Macy's today for their "One Day Sale" even though today's is the "preview" and tomorrow's the sale yet you can buy stuff today so how can it BEE a "One Day Sale" when its two days............but I digress.
I figured I'd let my wife go shopping and make her smile so I sat out on the chairs in Windward Mall outside of Macy's and waited a while. When I got antsy I walked into Macy's and found her......then we walked towards the Men's Aloha Wear section.
I found a REYN's aloha shirt.........the regular (outrageous) price of $79.......and got it for $19.35!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once again I got reminded of WHY WOMEN LOVE SHOPPING! Sure it wasn't a "current" shirt as they put these on sale after they've BEEn on the rack for like 6 months.........but WHO CARES????????
THEN..........we went upstairs to the kitchen gadgets section and found this CUISINART 4-cup coffee maker with a STAINLESS STEEL carafe....regular $40 on sale for $24!!!!!!!!!!
Got that puppy also........well, not a "puppy" but that coffee maker.
I feel so SATISFIED.................
OL..................MR. SHOPPER today
August 21st, 2009 at 5:20 pm
This is what I did:
I just set up a different 'friend list' for just my personal friends, another for the TRIADS and restricted access to who can see what on each list. If you've got trouble makers and you don't want to remove them, put em in a 'ignore' list.
August 21st, 2009 at 5:25 pm
OL:
Good bargins
Kohl's is the equivalent of Macy's here, even though we have them, and now is there summer clothes sale. They are getting ready for the fall clothing, peeps in Hawaii do not have to worry about when it's summer all year round there
Our Hawaiian shirts is nothing like the ones in Hawaii, but I still find nice Hawaiian shirts at greatly reduced prices. It seems like there is a sale every day at Kohl's or 15% off every weekend.
August 21st, 2009 at 5:29 pm
Hellooooo Hive!
My boss' friend is a Pfizer rep so I asked him if the switchplate was real cuz I would really want one but he said it's not. shucks.
BananaFysh: Manitou! oh yah man that was a cool show. To this day my friend and I, every time we see a lump on anything, we say ooooh look, manitou. hahaha Do you know it is a fo' real kine Indian lore?
teejay: hope you're healing well
So I'm on FB yesterday and I see my friend's friend list. I see a name I recognize. OMG, my friend's cousin is married to my ex BF from high school. hahaha too funny
The coolest thing is getting back in touch with old friends. I reconnected with a gal last night, we used to work in the same bldg and haven't seen each other since I left 4yrs ago. We chatted and it was so fun. My other friend who flies for Hawn but lives on mainland reconnected too. Haven't seen them in yeaaarrrs.
And me, the photographer wannabe, I love sharing and getting pictures. A friend takes BEEEEEyootiful photos, I spend a lot of time looking thru them
I think social sites are great for people like me... live alone but got choke friends and here's a way to talk to all of them at the same time.
...and I've BEEfriended a certain group of really cool people too. : )
August 21st, 2009 at 5:29 pm
Hey Ankles...........yeah, I'm amazed that the "regular" price of a REYN's shirt is $79 yet wait 6 months and then the "sales" on them starts.
Only had ONE so I guess I got "lucky". I didn't intend on buying anything. My plan was just to BEE a chauffeur and then let my wife enjoy.
OL..........still happy at his bargains
August 21st, 2009 at 5:34 pm
@OL -- Rodney would BEE so proud of you and your finds today!
Shopping is all about finding bargains!
August 21st, 2009 at 5:37 pm
Howzit Banana! Yeah.....there were 2 racks with $5.99 shirts till 1 p.m. but they looked like the kind you find in the GOODWILL STORE....not that there's anything wrong with that......yet wasn't "my style".
I finally got the stainless steel carafe so that my MIL CAN'T BREAK IT. I betchu I'll find DENTS in it though.
OL..............thought he saw a zombie mynah bird
August 21st, 2009 at 5:38 pm
@OL -- You hear that "WHOOOSH" just now?
August 21st, 2009 at 5:44 pm
@ Banana.............yeap. Time to close up and get moving again.
OL...........good weekend BEES!
August 21st, 2009 at 5:56 pm
sally: You sound like somebody who would keep up with classmates but I know what you mean on keeping in contact. So hard, especially when you have kids and they become more important.
August 21st, 2009 at 6:08 pm
Crap, I'm typing this from my mom's house and don't know my admin URL...so I'm commenting as a regular reader. Then I say a bad word that puts me into moderation! Haha!
So here's the repost:
BananaFysh: Oops, why would you swim back with the tickets when the concert is indeed on Oahu? That's what happens when you do a 10-hour shift to cap a long week! Heh heh!!
Ocean Lover: Wow, what a deal! Wow, what a deal! (Sounds like some c@sino game voice!) Did you have to bump or elbow other men to fight to get that shirt? I hate shopping when got tons of people around me. You swoosh the hangers one way and someone else does it the opposite way. Grr. I usually walk away and find my own rack!
August 21st, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Shauna: I'm glad you find your own rack, but what does that have to do with shopping?
August 21st, 2009 at 6:16 pm
The Dork Knight: What kind of XXX friends are you making on FB?:lol: Kidding! You are no longer a lurker! We even got half your elbow in a Hive photo, remember?
And we credit you for BEEing the #1 sniper! Remember all the conspiracy theories that emerged on you way back then? I'll never forget that!
HNL2LAS: Some rants/ramblings what have you are actually interesting! I love hearing what's on your mind (then again I'm biased cause you're like my unknown sister and we think alike!). Plus, everyone loves hearing about a good discount or deal! So ramble away! So...are you still a lurker on Twitter? Naughty naughty!
August 21st, 2009 at 6:22 pm
@Shauna -- So, you had a "brain tart fart?" haha!
Are you using Firefox as your browser? If you are, there's a plug in called "Xmarks" that lets you synchronize your bookmarks over different computers.
But then your mom would see whatever you have bookmarked at home, and I'm guessing you wouldn't want her to see that.
August 21st, 2009 at 6:23 pm
teejay: It's easier to shop without people next to you or possibly trying to steal the item you want... does that make sense?
Dinnertime! Saimin and mayBEE popcorn!
August 21st, 2009 at 6:25 pm
BananaFysh: I use Firefox but she uses Safari for whatever reason. I need to write down the URL and just type it in here the next time I come. I gotta keep my bookmarks secret!! Haha!!
tart fart tart fart tart fart!!
August 21st, 2009 at 6:31 pm
Shauna; Just use Firefox Portable on flashdrive and you don't have to worry about leaving any cookies on your mom's computer. Everything should run off that flashdrive. You can keep it in your purse or pocket and you don't have to remember all your favorites.
August 21st, 2009 at 6:31 pm
@Shauna -- Or you could just just email the URL to yourself and get it from your webmail at your mom's.
Hm, what would happen if your mom logged on as you and started posting on your blog?
Hilarity would ensue!
tart fart back atcha!
August 21st, 2009 at 6:32 pm
I like teejay's solution even better!
August 21st, 2009 at 6:40 pm
Hi Shauna! Saimin and popcorn, I went thru that phase.
@teejay: even when my daugher was little, she came with me all over the place... even karaoke. We used to sing in the car full blast (windows up) and crack up. We had many potlucks and she'd come tagging along. Other keiki would be there too so it was all fun.
Was funny cuz she goes karaoke too and her friend sang Pili Mau Me Oe and she said "I used to sing that with my mom!"
Fun Fun Fun
August 21st, 2009 at 6:45 pm
as for the topic, i dont think about it i tell ya what though you got all kinds in these blogs. some ppl are cool have a sense of humor and some are just too uptight. some lurk and some speak alot, but whatever spins your wheel is fine by me. to complain and moan about this or that is kind of annoying like a hall monitor in elementary school "no running".
as for grammer hey man how can you fault someone for poor grammer when they are contributing an input (whether you agree w/ it or not) vs the lurker who only reads and says nothing. maybe the lurker who be more likely to share a point of view if that person felt they wouldnt be judged; think about it.
the way i see it is nobody is gonna get along w/ everybody and life is too short worrying about things that you have no control over. i would bet anybody in here that if you ask other posters in the hive to label that individual based on the topic you would get atleast 3 different labels from 6 different ppl lol. that said why bother think of it like a party everybody is talking in groups to those indiv that they like or know or have similar interest.
if i was to ask my opinion on any poster in here my answer would always be the same. i dont judge but am glad to see they offered their opinion (regardless if i agree or disagree). i go by brother love but i am not looking for everybody to love me lol, all you can do is be yourself no matter what happens after that atleast no one can call you a faker.

August 21st, 2009 at 6:57 pm
sally: That's a cute story. I'm sure you both tested the temper strength of those windows but you had a great time with your daughter and that's all that matters. I can sing up a storm by myself but get all shame when it comes to singing karaoke and that's the gist of it. If you can put all your apprehensions aside you can belt them out. Oh, it will be far from great but more natural.
Shauna: You gotta get choi sum and bak choi along with char sui and add that to your saimin. Roast duck would be good too and some shrimp with the heads on. The best thing to do is add 'fresh' ingredients to a packaged dinner.
August 21st, 2009 at 7:05 pm
sally saimin & popcorn? kind of a weird combination i dunno i like saimin i will eat a lil popcorn but not a big fan of it though. how about saimin & teriyaki lol. my ol lady likes that colorful popcorn, i rather have mochi crunch, but i only like the hot canoe shaped ones lol..
August 21st, 2009 at 7:27 pm
hey david this one is for you dude..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4HhFY3ljZc&feature=related
August 21st, 2009 at 7:27 pm
teejay, sally and Brother Love: Added wakame, green onions and vienna sausage... not exactly fresh ingredients.
I haven't eaten colorful popcorn in a while... I heard the hot mochi crunch goes well with an Icee...
August 21st, 2009 at 7:28 pm
Brother Love: never heard them described as hot canoe shapes. I always called them the hot dog kakimochi. They're actually I think kakidane. All's I know is the real ones... they's HOT!
Back to topic: funny how people will hit me up to chat, why don't they just call? hahaha a couple of times I called them in the middle of them typing an entry. Mo' easy to talk.
teejay: karaoke is about fun. No shame. Friends will scream "you suck" then you can scream back "I know" hahahaha that's what I do
August 21st, 2009 at 7:30 pm
teejay and BananaFysh: All that work just to get a URL?? I just write it down on a piece of paper and type it in. Usually the browser recognizes an address and if you use it frequently, it should pop up the next time I start typing in the BEEginning of the address.
So full, tired and lazy.
What a waste of those concert tickets...
Wonder if that kind of music would put me to sleep? Do you know I can even sleep through a rock concert with blinding lights on the stage? Trust me, it's BEEn done!
August 21st, 2009 at 7:33 pm
sally: I also found it ODD that Brother Love called the kaki mochi the hot canoe kind. Never heard that phrase either! But regarding your last post, I think some people chat or text cause they would rather NOT call. That's me. Unless it's so difficult to write your message, I'd rather avoid the call... Then again, ending a message in words gets kinda cumbersome...as both people are trying to sound polite. In that case I can see why phone calls are easier...
August 21st, 2009 at 7:44 pm
midori-mm: I am glad you came out of Lurkerville! And it took a challenge from me! Glad those Kalihi roots came in handy!
Twitter can BEE amusing and helpful at times as a lot of information gets passed on. Don't feel bad about lurking. It's only bad if you lurk on O&E!! Trust me!!
David In Oregon: For someone who doesn't use a lot of other social-networking sites, you definitely have amazing etiquette! You're great with compliments (don't ever feel you need to stop!
) and you respond well to the other posters! Plus zomBEES do wonder for my online hits! Thanks!
August 21st, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Shauna: I hear you on the Firefox but set up that and that Odd and ends thingy you have going maybe a hit. You might even be more popular!
I notice that you don't eat that many 'greens'. Is that cuz you don't like them or they sometimes can be expensive? Wakame is great but vienna sausage? At least put kamaboko or Spam.
August 21st, 2009 at 7:48 pm
theDman: Yeah, most folks don't have exciting enough lives to share every detail about it. Only celebrities can get away with that as fans seem to BEE fascinated with every detail of their day... Sucks when you take a chance on a "new" friend and it turns out to BEE anything but.
anklebiters: I didn't know you could divide up your friends list like that to restrict access...And you know what's so ODD? There's a Kohl's ad on the bottom of this page. Too funny!
August 21st, 2009 at 7:50 pm
teejay: I do eat a lot of greens. Just finished off one of those three-pound bags of lettuce from Sam's Club. BEEn eating that all week. And that's right. I also had kamaboko in my saimin. So what did you have for dinner?
August 21st, 2009 at 7:51 pm
I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaack (kinda)
snow, that's why I lurve you XOXOXO You really have the feel for this blog. For several of us, we've been here from the beginning and helped Shauna build this place to the point we have become friends virtually and IRL. I am so fortunate, even though I live on another island, have had a chance to meet up, share a meal, a drink and most importantly, to build our friendship.
I share your sentiments. We have seen bloggers come in and not show the respect for the "family". If we stop and think, how would we feel when someone comes to a family gathering,becomes boisterous, belligerent and darn right rude? I'm sure many would avoid them. Then it would be up the the host or family head to ask them nicely to leave.
This being a public blog, they have every right to post. But that doesn't mean the rest of us needs to associate with them.
The key is RESPECT.
thanks for listening. ok snow, please help me off this box.
August 21st, 2009 at 7:53 pm
EMM386: What kind of requests do you find annoying? Those that ask you take quizzes or accepting all those virtual gifts?
Eli: You definitely can't lurk after one post. I enjoy reading what you have to say and you tend to find the ODDest stories. Your input on other people's comments are always welcome!
M: How come you guys went dinner last night? Isn't tonight the date night? And also, thanks for always BEEing there without fail to say good morning. Even if you don't have time to leave a comment, it's nice to see you checking in.
August 21st, 2009 at 7:57 pm
lol
never knew the real name but thats what i call em.
i dont mind chats in blogs or pms but i hate texts, in fact i never respond to em. ppl ask me sometimes if i got the text or whatever and i just tell em i dont look at text i just delete em. i figger if they really got something to tell me that would just call me, phone is always on..
August 21st, 2009 at 7:57 pm
Ynaku: Hiya!! Gotta head out now so will BEE back later!!
I still got lots more comments to add!
August 21st, 2009 at 8:08 pm
Shauna: Never ate yet and I'm thinking Lung Fung. Good for you on the greens but that three pound salad mix is asking for extra toilet paper. I know you try to eat healthy. Why bust your butt at the gym if you suck up pig fat through a straw. Doesn't suck that eating healthy cost more? With all we pay in health insurance don't you think we can lower the cost of great tasting healthy alternatives? nah, that wouldn't make any money.
August 21st, 2009 at 8:09 pm
Oh Shauna, my life is so exciting. Don't you just wait everyday to hear how I went to WalMart BEE4 work and Regal Diner in the morning to grab manapua for lunch and then how the grapes I bought at Safeway were not as sweet as I wanted but the milk was cheap and tomatoes were $1.49/lb....
Yah, I thought not.
bahahahahaha
August 21st, 2009 at 8:09 pm
Hey Brother Love: I heard that one before. Looking at it now, I think that Pee Wee Herman movie copied this and did a scene like this in the movie. Some trucker stops, picks Pee Wee up, and drops him off at a coffee shop. He walks in, says something similar to what this recording does, and everything goes silent. Just like this recording, someone goes and explains the story about the trucker, and he realizes it was the trucker's ghost that drove him to the coffee shop.
August 21st, 2009 at 8:12 pm
i like green onion and different kinds of fishcake in my saimin, but i dont like vienna sausage at all lol. if i am gonna put meat in it jus give me some char siu or spam thats fine w/ me. oh yah i also like da chinese cabbage chopped up in saimin too but i dont like da seaweed hahahha..
August 21st, 2009 at 8:13 pm
lol
yah DIO i remember that movie hahahhaha "tell em large marge sent ya" hahahhahhahaha
August 21st, 2009 at 8:20 pm
btw, david i gotta buy 2 new tires on monday i didnt have a blowout and they are'nt flat or anything but the thread depth is bad. the wheel alignment is good though so just gotta replace tires but thats gonna be about $800 right there dang it (could be worse i guess)..
August 21st, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Brother Love: ouch! Thankfully it is only 2 tires. I hate to think what it would be like doing an entire set.
August 21st, 2009 at 8:37 pm
OMG a couple of months ago I went to Jiffy Lube for an oil change. The guy showed me one of my tires and I almost fainted! The inside of one tire was totally ready to blow, the steel belting was all showing and everything! I went straight to Sam's Club praying the whole way there to get me there safely.
I freaked thinking of all the times I drove on the freeway and even just around town not knowing.
August 21st, 2009 at 8:49 pm
i hear ya DIO, i always do pre & post inspection checks so i catch em when things break down and not wait till it is like a list of things to do lol. i just put on new wood on my flatbed trailer cuz the previous wood was really damaged. changed bulbs and fixed a couple of electrical connections for lights..
sally- you gotta check em every now & then so they dont get that bad. sounds like you got lucky though that could've been a disaster..

sally: lucky is right. You don't realize how dangerous it can get. On a slow drive through town, it might not be a big issue if you have a blowout. On the freeway, at speed, that could be very, very bad.
August 21st, 2009 at 8:58 pm
I know, and I do check when I wash he car but this was way inside. He had the car up on the pole and had to turn the wheel allllll the way to expose the inside. That's how he showed it to me. Really, I almost fainted. I looked at the guy, my eyeballs like a deer in headlights, mouth all dropped jaw and said "oh $h*t!" then got embarassed. LOL
This is when a man comes in handy, I'm not real good at getting greasy and dirty and lifting heavy stuff. That's where the *head tilt* comes in real handy.
August 21st, 2009 at 9:01 pm
sally: in some cases, head tilt no work. If your Honda is like mine, head tilt all you like, I no can help you. My car is so low to the ground, I have to dig a imu if I want to crawl under my car
August 21st, 2009 at 9:02 pm
Brother Love: Yup, good to do inspections. Ain't nothing worse than someone else doing them for you, then handing you a fine, and yanking you off the road.
August 21st, 2009 at 9:04 pm
sally: not only that, the way my car is, I can't even tell you where the oil filter is to change the oil. Cars these days are not mechanic-friendly. You practically have to disassemble your car down to the nuts and bolts to fix or replace anything.
August 21st, 2009 at 9:05 pm
Let's see.... Me. Me. Me. Me. Me. Me. Me. Me again. Me. Me. Me. Whoa! I'm really close on this 12th one.
August 21st, 2009 at 9:05 pm
Do you guys know if Shauna ever read last night's posts about the tarantula story? Ya know, when you think about it, it's a really cute thing, the little pink bow and the little jingle bell, he BEE scooting around the apt *jingle jingle jingle*
August 21st, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Shauna, last night was parents night at my sons high school so after it was done we went to dinner. So since we went out last night, we stayed home for dinner tonight. Masako made pork chops.
August 21st, 2009 at 9:06 pm
and let's not forget the BEE stripes
August 21st, 2009 at 9:07 pm
I hope they only make male novelty light switches, cause if they make female ones, I could get a nasty shock
August 21st, 2009 at 9:10 pm
turk: I don't know if I want to see a female light switch. After all, how do you explain switch settings where one is up, and one is down?
August 21st, 2009 at 9:11 pm
sally what you do is turn the wheels to one sid and then check em do the same going the other way so you can really see the threading all the way across, you can get somebody to look for you while you move a lil and turn the wheel the back tires are a lil harder cuz you gotta bend down and check em from behind. you right though i guess men come in handy for this kind of stuff especially if you hate to get a lil dirty.
your fan & altenator belts w/ car off look for cuts, cracks, fraying, the belt should have no more that 1/2-3/4" play when you press on it w/ your finger. while looking under the hood look for an cracked, bare, loose hanging wires. your radiator hoses should not cracked bubbled or bulging and have no leaks. oil should be above the add line and not have any signs of burning, metal fragments or water (if its black time to change, if it is white you got water mixing w/ it). windsheild wiper arms should be tightly secured and move together, wiper blades should be soft rubber w/ no cracks, tearing, and should wipe evenly.
if you just do these checks 2x/month you will be way ahead of the game than most..
August 21st, 2009 at 9:12 pm
My switch is on....
August 21st, 2009 at 9:14 pm
sally: Don't forget to check air pressure in your tires, and just as important, check the spare tire too. There's nothing worse than getting a flat, getting out the spare tire, and finding that the spare is flat too.
August 21st, 2009 at 9:14 pm
M: bahahahahaha!!! I almost spit my coffee! Oh Masaaaaaako? Where arrrrrrrre you?
August 21st, 2009 at 9:14 pm
M: Is that an Altoids light switch ?
August 21st, 2009 at 9:15 pm
M i see you post on here some of the stuff masako cooks, she sounds like a really good cook. does she do all the cooking or do cook as well..
August 21st, 2009 at 9:16 pm
M - Bravo and touche! No off position on the genius swiitch. Less is more.
August 21st, 2009 at 9:17 pm
good point david..
August 21st, 2009 at 9:20 pm
Brother Love & David in Oregon: Thank you for the lessons. I will write this info down and keep it in my car.
August 21st, 2009 at 9:21 pm
turk fontaine: Me me me me me me me!!!!!
I was going to fist bump you on that nasty shock comment until it got shot down!
August 21st, 2009 at 9:24 pm
We have chocolate syrup and whip cream, no altoids. hahahaha
BL, masako is a great cook, she went to culinary school. So she's the chef and I assist.
August 21st, 2009 at 9:25 pm
Gotta go....
August 21st, 2009 at 9:38 pm
sally: I speak from experience on the spare tire one.
I went to my car one day, planning to drive to a friend's house. Driving out of the lot, I noticed the steering was really funny. Checked everything, no apparent signs of steering problems. Finally, I looked down and found one of the front tires was flat. I turned the car around and parked it back in the garage. I managed to get the wheel with the flat tire off the car, and cleared out the trunk to get the spare out. Put the spare tire on the car, lower the car to the ground and....fffffffffffffffft...Spare tire flat. It was so funny, sounded like a bad whoopee cushion going off. Of course, that totally messed me up, since I had no other spares. I ended up going to the auto parts store and bought a little mini air compressor that plugs into the cigarette lighter of my car, so now I can inflate the tires myself. That's especially good since all the gas stations around me charge either 75¢ or $1 to use their air compressor.
August 21st, 2009 at 9:39 pm
sally this will give you some idea of what an inspection is, sorry i couldnt find any for a car so this one is much more exensive than you will need but it should give some idea..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX85hkA_jd0&feature=fvw
August 21st, 2009 at 9:41 pm
M: That's cool. I would like to go to culinary school; however, it is so expensive out here. It's over $20k for the schooling. I'm not sure how much the public community colleges charge; however, I can't help but think it won't be much cheaper.
Good night M
August 21st, 2009 at 9:49 pm
Me thinks it would BEE easier to get a man. LOL
August 21st, 2009 at 9:50 pm

i thought you wanted to be an independent woman hahahhahahaha..
August 21st, 2009 at 10:00 pm

August 21st, 2009 at 10:01 pm
Brother Love...#114...you live up to your name. And, today must be the day for "chicken skin" songs because Phantom 309 gave me "chicken skin".
August 21st, 2009 at 10:09 pm
You guys are just too much fun!
Hi midori-mm!
August 21st, 2009 at 10:11 pm
DIO- lmao

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JY4BV14OZzQ
August 21st, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Brother Love: You laughin at my flat tire incident? If so, yeah, was really funny. Thank goodness I got lucky, happened while I was at home, so all I had to do was turn around and park it back in the garage, no big deal.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Hey Brother Love, nice story in that there song. Could BEE a Lifetime Channel Movietime movie.
*sniff*
August 21st, 2009 at 10:29 pm

Hey guys, I grew up with 3 older brothers, mostly boys in the neighborhood, and 2 boy cousins in the house next door. Ain't much so's a boy can say to offend me. Oh, don't get me wrong, you'll know when you do. LOL
Sometimes my guy friends will start talking like a girl ain't in their presence. I say "what?, should I grow a p3ni$ now?"
August 21st, 2009 at 10:42 pm
Brother Love: I forgot about that one. I noticed Red Sovine really did the tear jerker type trucker stuff.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:44 pm
sally: older brothers? Auwe, I feel for you. I bet you must've been picked on a lot.
Seriously though, there's a bunch of stuff you can check yourself on your car. It's not that hard.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:50 pm
Yah, I should. Oh, I'm reminded, nephew needs to do trans flush. Gotta call him tomorrow.
Okay, gang, I'm fading. Good night Brother Love. Good night David in Oregon. Good night midori-mm.
Good night Shauna. Shauna? Shauna you still around?
August 21st, 2009 at 10:50 pm
Brother Love: I was just thinking of a friend of mine, when I thought of the comment for sally. In the kind of work I do, once I've troubleshot and confirmed the problem, I'll pull the appropriate electronic board out of the machine and replace it.
One of my friends came up with a funny saying, that was meant as a cut down to the techs on the floor. When you get stuck, and are not sure which board to replace, "swap your way to glory!" which meant, if you don't know which board to replace, replace them all one by one. Eventually you will find the one that was bad.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:51 pm
yah RS was really good w/ the sad ballads DIO..
sally DIO is right checking your own car is not that hard once you get the hang of it you will breeze right through it. ya dont need a man for that lol..
August 21st, 2009 at 10:52 pm
I'm not sure QB went back to read about the spider with bell and bow.
Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way.......
August 21st, 2009 at 10:53 pm
good night sally.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:55 pm
g-night sally dont let the bed bugs git ya where the good lord split ya
lol yah david thats like troubleshooting your way to being a hero "here i come to save the day"
August 21st, 2009 at 10:58 pm
Brother Love: I think it is more like, "here i come to waste the day"
August 21st, 2009 at 11:01 pm
david sally got me thinking, tomorrow when i take my daughter out for a drive i think a lesson in basic automotive inspection might be a good idea..
August 21st, 2009 at 11:02 pm
yah hahahahhaha.. times a wastin..
August 21st, 2009 at 11:02 pm
that be excellent. nothing worse than stopping a motor permanently due to no oil, or some other foolish thing.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:05 pm
another thing, tell her what all the gauges on the panel are for.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:05 pm
exactly cuz if she did that no head tilt will help cuz i would madder than a wet hen brother lol..
August 21st, 2009 at 11:07 pm
well, that's the thing. she needs to at least learn the basics. check oil, trans. fluid, steering fluid. hoses, belts. tire pressures.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:12 pm
also learn what the gauges on the dash mean. I remember before I moved out here, I was driving home from work one day. Crawling in traffic, just like everyone else, I happened to look down at the dash. Normally, the temp gauge stays about halfway between hot and cold when the engine is at normal operating temp. This time, I started to see it climbing. Thinking it was because I was crawling in traffic, I didn't worry about it, until I noticed that the needle kept climbing. Thankfully, I managed to make it through a break in traffic and turned left into a 7-11 parking lot. I am not sure what broke, but it completely emptied the radiator and reserve bottle of coolant. I'm grateful there wasn't more major damage done.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:13 pm
aint that the truth and she aint gonna be depending on a man to git r done either. did i tell you i caught her talking to some boy yesterday man she aint even 16 yet. i was about to freak out and she say "mom knows" man that only made me even more mad lol.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:13 pm
Brother Love:
daughter: head tilt, head tilt.
Brother Love: boot in okole, boot in okole.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:14 pm
If the kid comes to the house, have him empty his pockets and make sure he does NOT have any Altoids.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:20 pm
that sounds like a radiator hose or water pump went bad or the thermostat got stuck closed DIO..
yah i will be sure to explain the guages to her as well..
August 21st, 2009 at 11:25 pm
lol
i told her i wanna meet this kid and she refused to bring him over so i can check him out. i was kinda upset cuz my wife knew and didnt tell me too ( i mean wassup wit dat ya know).
August 21st, 2009 at 11:27 pm
tell her to pay special attention to that thing called the "fuel gauge"
I heard a bunch of stories of wives and daughters that somehow don't understand what that gauge means. Whether it is selective memory, or truly no idea what the gauge is for, I don't know.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:28 pm
lol yah 1st rule of thumb "E does not mean enough"..
August 21st, 2009 at 11:28 pm
bah, that's usual. A lot of times "mom knows" while dad is clueless.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:41 pm
and remember, you should fill with fuel BEEfore you run out of gas.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:43 pm
lol yah that is a big reminder right there and when on E dont go shopping around for the cheapest gas station too..
August 21st, 2009 at 11:47 pm
yeah, the time for "shopping" is before you need to buy.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:47 pm
yah i am definitely gonna cover all of that stuff believe me hahhahaha. i still got some time before my son can get his driver license thank god. that one makes me a lil nervous..
August 21st, 2009 at 11:50 pm
lol
exactly now is not the time to be saving 50 cents when you running on fumes.
August 21st, 2009 at 11:53 pm
I can just imagine it now..."dad, I know...." "dad, I know..."
August 21st, 2009 at 11:55 pm
and if you are low on fuel, please fill it with more than $2. $2 won't get you much of anything.
August 22nd, 2009 at 12:00 am
lol
no its "no worry dad, no worry" tell ya what you know every time somebody told me not to worry thats when i needed to start worrying..
yah for real gas right now is over $3/gallon out here right now
August 22nd, 2009 at 12:01 am
famous last words:
- no worry dad, no worry
- yeah yeah yeah, i get um already
- watch this
August 22nd, 2009 at 12:05 am
uh huh exactly you see what i am dealin w/ over here man lol. its enough to drive you straight to funny farm i tell you..
August 22nd, 2009 at 12:06 am

August 22nd, 2009 at 7:29 am
Don't know. I didn't go out last night so I woke up super early this morning. Was kinda nice, all dark and quiet watching the day unfold. Birds, rubbish truck, newspaper boy (I actually was home to receive the newspaper!)hahaha
August 22nd, 2009 at 7:50 am
Hi Sally...sorry...I should have said good night last night. I just saw your greeting this morning.
Brother Love...that was a touching song along with the Prayer. I never heard them before. Truckers have, for a long time, had the reputations as the "knights of the road". You guys are the good guys. Funny, too.
August 22nd, 2009 at 7:51 am
gotta run..i'll check in later.
August 22nd, 2009 at 7:56 am
M: I'm here. Just got home from dropping off my son.
Morning all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 22nd, 2009 at 7:57 am
Good morning midori-mm.
My friend and her mom (back in the 70's) took a road trip when she was moving back to HNL from Chicago. Two wahines in a car obviously packed with stuff...? They said truckers were their best friends the whole drive west.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:22 am
Morning! Who's making breakfast for The Hive? I'll set the table!
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:27 am
I'll fry some eggs!
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:32 am
ooooooh! I'll do the bacon extra crispy!!!!
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:34 am
how about hash browns? my favorite!! or corn beef hash?
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:40 am
Corn beef hash I can do but hash browns I suck at and did you know they call it something else on the east coast. It's just cut up potatoes. How sucky is that?
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:40 am
BACON! Crispy Crunchy Cremated Bacon!!!
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:50 am
teejay: Corn beef hash works for me!
sally: Cremated bacon!! You're at the wrong breakfast!
And scones for dessert! Mmmmm!
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:49 am
g-morning gang wow all this food in here you all making me hungry lol..

August 22nd, 2009 at 9:59 am

August 22nd, 2009 at 10:05 am
Oh God, not rogue HAIRS! Run Shauna, run!
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:13 am
All I can say is that it's a good thing I plaster my hair strands on the wall when I shower. If not the same thing would happen to the tub!! See, Queenie is smart!
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:17 am
Oh wait, that's TMI — one of the more annoying FB types!
HNL2LAS: Yeah, at least the virtual breakfast saves you on calories!
David In Northwest: Whatcha up to today? Sleep well, you zomBEE?
Brother Love: Honk, honk!
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:18 am

to all those who try to judge me, i drop my drawers so you can kiss me on the HIENEE, so pucker up buttercup hahahahahahhahaha
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:46 am
Brother Love, speaking of "honk honk" the other day, I swear someone must've gone by here with a set of freight train horns, 'cause that thing was so loud, it could wake the dead.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:48 am
Brother Love, no medication, just hibernation.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:49 am
Brother Love: I've got to make and hang the "Do Not Wake Until Spring 2010" sign in another month or two.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:52 am
LOL
i like that one DIO,
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:55 am
Shauna: I used to do same thing, now I use that rubbery plastic strainer thingie you cover your drain and all your hair collects on it, then throw the hair in the trash. Now if someone would invent something for all the hair that falls off my head on the floor. I swear I should be bolo head by now.
Hey Brother Love and David in Oregon! You guys closed the Hive last night.
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:59 am
sally: There already is an invention, it's called the shower cap. Just where the shower cap all day. At the end of the day, carefully remove the shower cap, being careful not to lose any hairs in there. Gather up all the hairs, and glue 'em back on your head.
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:02 am
(shauna) boyz just don't get it do they?

Hey, how come YOU GUYS are not on FB? Its fun. Its addicting. Its private... to the extent you make it.
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:20 am
In all honesty sally, I just never had a reason to be on Facebook, MySpace, or anything else. I always felt like, I was gonna see friends, family, etc. in real life soon, so why setup an account and add those same people onto a Facebook or MySpace page. I did; however, find QB's pages though, even her "Queen Bee of Odds and Ends" MySpace page.
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:31 am
we got the hive sally, lets face it after that why go anywhere else. besides if everyone abandoned the hive then the wasp would come and take over feeding on all the baby BEES & if that would happen then where would we all BEE..

Just that FB got features that enhance da Hive's personalities. Kinda like "I like to go dancing at one place but it's also fun at another". hahaha... my analogy.
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:44 am
ah, so you like to dance at two different "clubs" sally?
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:50 am
Dancing is my easiest thing to relate to.
HEYYYY, whatchu making reference to?
SHAUNA! Where's the BEEhavior guide book?
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:53 am
eh, no make l'dat sally...
I jus sayin "clubs" since it is not a real club in the physical sense, but very much club-like in the computer world.
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:57 am
hahahaha you guys crack me up
sorry, neva mean to scare you
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:59 am
I was reading the title of this blog and it says Online ODDballs. Ain't it the truth? We all BEE ODD... or izzit just me?
August 22nd, 2009 at 12:01 pm
sally: Yes, we are all ODD and that's why the headline is so appropriate!
David In Oregon: Wanted to mention that you cracked me up about having to dig an imu just to look under your car!!
Did you lower your car? Cause Hondas are pretty low to BEEgin with!
August 22nd, 2009 at 12:01 pm
isn't that the requirement to join this club?
August 22nd, 2009 at 12:02 pm
You guys like to go dancing? I luuuurrrve dancing. But I don't do the club scene. Just go where my friends are playing and our gang all shows up, that's why I can just show up by myself and not BEE alone. I only go where it's "safe".
August 22nd, 2009 at 12:02 pm
QB: No, the car is totally stock, never been lowered, raised, or anything. Still, that thing is so low to the ground, I think I have an easier time trying to crawl under my bicycle than my car.
August 22nd, 2009 at 12:04 pm
Who else but someone ODD could think of putting a bell and a little pink ribbon on a tarantula and camo paint it with yellow stripes? bahahaha
August 22nd, 2009 at 12:08 pm
DIO in response to #245, i sometimes stop in @ leeward com coll cuz i got a couple friends over there who teach the truck drivers course over there. anyway when i come over the overpass i always blow my horn at that intersection cuz alot of ppl disregard the stop signs there. about a month ago my friend tells me that the resident manager from the duplex houses over there complained about the airhorn noise so from now on i should blow em twice as much hahhahahha..
the dude really hates me man lol gotta love it

David In Oregon: That is the requirement. Just like the phrase BEE there or BEE square. We need one. BEE ODD or .... BUZZ OFF! Nah, that doesn't rhyme!
August 22nd, 2009 at 12:10 pm
I'm not listening to any jingle!!!
BEE back later! Gonna run away till the jingling stops!!
August 22nd, 2009 at 12:10 pm
eh, while you're there, ease up and let the Jake brake kick on.
August 22nd, 2009 at 12:11 pm
sally: BEE ODD or BUZZ OFF might just work, after all, it is ODD.
August 22nd, 2009 at 12:14 pm
ODD is guud. It's ODD enough it just might stick.
August 22nd, 2009 at 12:17 pm
QB: too funny. When I read that you were gonna run away, I had this image in my head of Rap Reiplinger as Aunty Marialani. The part I am talking about, is at 5:45 into this video "no, no cook me, I goin run away from you."

eh, no joke. That's why I'm always looking ahead. If I don't, I risk bottoming out. Same with turning into driveways. Enter at a slow speed, I'm okay. Try to hang a quick left turn into the driveway to beat traffic, and risk bottoming out.

August 22nd, 2009 at 5:20 pm
she drove very well but i figgerd that. lets just say that she is not mechanically inclined so i pointed out everything for the preventive inspection and even answered a couple basic questions. she was'nt happy about pullin out the dipstick lol.
August 22nd, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Brother Love:
jus' tell her to wear gloves.
August 22nd, 2009 at 5:25 pm
Actually, the motor oil dipstick on my car is easily accessible. The one for trans. fluid is a nightmare. I swear I lose a layer of skin trying to get my arm down past everything to get to the dipstick. It's in the kind of location that requires your arm to be as flexible and narrow as an octopus' tentacle.
August 22nd, 2009 at 5:29 pm
lol
actually thats what she said next time she is gonna bring gloves
August 22nd, 2009 at 5:31 pm
sure, why not. I keep a couple of pairs of gloves in the car. I got a pair for mechanical type repairs, and another one for if if have to pull the battery out of the car. Nothing worse than gettin' acid all over the hands.

August 22nd, 2009 at 5:44 pm
no doubt i used gloves too at times.
she getting really good at driving though got a lil freeway in today, paralell parking, ect..
August 22nd, 2009 at 5:45 pm
maybee you were focusing on her BEEhind rather than her face hahhahahhahaha
August 22nd, 2009 at 5:48 pm
thank goodness you're not an ice road trucker. You wear gloves to stay warm, yet, they make it hard to work, so you take them off and work barehanded.

I was just thinking of taking a spin in about an hour just around the neighborhood. I'll let you guys know how it goes.
August 22nd, 2009 at 7:31 pm

Brother Love, we will hear from sally in an hour or so. The question is, what kind of mood will she be in. If she comes on, all happy, you know the car worked. If she comes on all habuts and blamin us, then you know the car died somewhere.
August 22nd, 2009 at 7:45 pm
Then the next message she is gonna post is gonna be blaming us, saying it was our idea she go and drive the car.

I'm not gonna blame you guys! And I don't do the habut thing.

August 22nd, 2009 at 8:15 pm
eh Brother Love, you think that Alice tv show start was bad, I've got one better.
In the year 2000 or so, I was at work. Within the company there are Emergency Response Teams, which respond to onsite emergencies. Because of the lack of any "dangerous" materials or situations, the group that handles our building and our area, rarely gets called. One day, they did get called. When the team finally came back to work, we asked what happened. Apparently some lady was driving down the highway that runs by our workplace. At some point, the vehicle caught on fire. Thankfully for her, she managed to be driving by our workplace, and managed to turn into the long driveway leading into our place before bailing out of the vehicle. Fire dept which was located just down the street, responded to the scene, but the vehicle was a total loss.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:16 pm
I'm back.
Went three blocks, waited at a red light, then it quit. Like the plug got pulled. Started up right away... as usual. Turned the corner and came back home.
How long does it take when you start the engine and warm it up? I sat and waited for about 2 minutes. Not long enough?
Check engine light and maint req lights don't come on.
$h*t man I hate this!
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:21 pm
hey, I remember that other show too, BJ and the Bear. I have to admit though, I'm not fond of cabovers. If it's a KW, I'll take the W900.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:23 pm
wow david that is crazy lol good thing nobody got hurt..
wow sally it died off huh, that could be a number of things bad fuel pump, clogged fuel lines bad injectors, and so on. is this an old car cuz if it is you might want to trade it in for something more reliable warming up the car shouldnt really be necessary in hawaii my dear..
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:24 pm
same here david, i hate cabovers bro. i worked for one company that had a majority of volvo cabovers and quit after a month. i hate em..
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:25 pm
sally: i don't think it should matter much, particularly in Hawaii where it is fairly warm.
Here in Oregon, especially during Winter, I usually just sit in the car listening to the radio for a few minutes while the engine warms up.
In Winter here, if I shift the car into gear before it is really warmed up, I risk stalling. What's worse is trying to restart the car, because the car doesn't always recognize the fact that I've shifted from Drive back to either Park or Neutral. Since it still thinks I'm in Drive, I can't start the engine.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:28 pm
Yes, car is old 1999 but only just now hit 30,000 mi. Yah, old age on the parts but two separate checks showed everything was ok. And because nothing registers on the code reader it cannot be diagnosed.
Okay, don't talk about it already. I'm pi$$ed. I'm gonna let my nephew take it home and keep it till he figures out what it's doing.
Now just gotta figure out how to get it to Waipahu.
#%#$&*!+>$# !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:30 pm
eh sally, a crazy question....have you changed either octane and/or brands of gasoline lately?
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:31 pm
oh, so sorry, thanks for all your concerns and help. Really, I appreciate it. Just forgot to thank you in all my grrrrrrrrrrrrrr-ing.
: ) see? I'm ok now.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:32 pm
sally: dass ok, no need apologize. question still out there though....
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:34 pm
does it ever stall while you're driving (moving) or just when you're stopped?
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:35 pm
D in O: interesting that you ask that. My nephew asked me same question. My other friend too. There was ONE time about month and a half ago that I put Aloha Gas cuz was cheap. BIG mistake. I noticed my car was kind of surging while driving. My nephew said don't ever use Aloha or Costco or Tesoro gas. My interpretation is that it's the Spanada of gasolines.
So, next fill up I went back to my Shell gas. All this started about a month after that. I have not used my car for 3 weeks now.
What gives?
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:40 pm
only when I'm stopped and idling.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:41 pm
I don't know sally. I just speak from experience on the gasoline thing. When I first moved here, I had to fill up my car with gas, since Matson doesn't allow more than 1/4 tank when you ship a car with them. I filled up at a BP gas station, and for reasons I still don't understand, my car started sputtering, surging, and driving really roughly. It was like being in a car with someone learning to drive stick shift.
Initially, I thought it was due to the cold weather, since I moved over in Winter. After some time, I later discovered that my car just doesn't do well with BP gasoline. I can use stuff from 76, Shell, Texaco, and Chevron just fine, but the car just doesn't do well with BP. I had no idea why back then, and I still have no idea why now.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:43 pm
I feel like I poisoned my poor car.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:44 pm
sally to be honest sounds like a few problems but thats what happens when you have an old car, the best thing is go get something reliable get another car. you dont want to keep sinking money into a car that #1 is about to die, #2 is not even listed on the blue book anymore. sorry dont mean to bum you out but just being honest you know. the only thing about the different fuel from certain stations is that some are a lil more dirty than others but shouldnt be giving you this kind of problems this problem you are having is an internal problem. the puter brain which runs everything might be shorting out and that is big bucks to replace..
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:48 pm
Another thing I can think of, try and look at the cables that connect to the battery. Does it look "clean" or do you see anything that looks like corrosion. If you see anything other than clean connector ends, that could be causing electrical connection problems.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:48 pm
I just shot an email to my nephew, just gonna wait for him. Till then I'll keep hoofin' it around town.
August 22nd, 2009 at 8:48 pm

Hi M. No, I'm gonna let my nephew do what needs to be done. He gets parts wholesale and does everything at his house so cost wise, it'll be the best I can get.
Example: He did my brakes (complete... shoes, drum, everything) cost me just under $200. That was my old car (R.I.P.)
D in O: what's the website for OC 16? I don't have TV so I watch everything online, I didn't know they had a site too. I coulda watched M & Masako's TV debut!

Sally, it's possible that there's water in your fuel or a dirty fuel tank that's clogging the fuel pump strainer located in your fuel tank. You could try to purchase a fuel additive that displaces moisture in your fuel, it wouldn't hurt to try and it's not expensive.
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:51 pm
sally: so what, feelin' better now, or feelin' nothin' now?
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:52 pm
And just how much tax dollars and manpower and energy was wasted on this idiot? Sometimes American law is way too courteous.
August 22nd, 2009 at 9:59 pm
sally: the ones that make me mad, are the lolos who get themselves into trouble. I can't tell you the number of times some lolo makes the local news here, 'cause they got lost hiking and weren't prepared with food, shelter, or anything. If I was them I would hide my face, as its embarrassing to be confronted by news cameras.

August 22nd, 2009 at 10:17 pm
speaking of signs: one of the funniest I saw on a truck, was on the driver's door, "Driver carries no cash. His wife and kids took it all."
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:23 pm

August 22nd, 2009 at 10:27 pm

the funniest one gotta be the guy pushin that was truly a good one, that other dude w/ the cops must be on drugs or something though. i couldnt believe he climbed on the sign, he looked like a cat stuck in a tree or something..
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:53 pm
Sheesh sally, you don't just get ranked with a car, you get ranked with a mean one, eh? I think if I played a game like that, it would have an error message. It would say, "you are not a muscle car. your only car is your feet. get walkin'"
August 22nd, 2009 at 10:54 pm
yeah, got to be on drugs. I can't think of any logical reason for it.
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:01 pm
Nah, this was the description that went with the answer: "Everybody likes it, and everybody wants to have one! It's the car for people who like to stand in the middle... Positively..."
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:02 pm
this is 25,000 horses under the hood going a quarter mile in 5 seconds, but it aint no dragster or funny car. this guy raced an airplane & won he got like a jet engine in there or something cuz you can see the afterburner from behind..

Got this email of another ODD story. Wassup with men getting nekkid lately? Here's a portion of it:
"updated 12:15 p.m. HT, Thurs., Aug 20, 2009
OAKLAND, Calif. - Authorities say a St. Louis-bound Southwest Airlines flight was forced to return to Oakland International Airport after a male passenger stripped, hit another passenger and fought with crew members.
Alameda County sheriff's deputies say Flight 947 returned Thursday morning after 21-year-old Darius Chappille of Oakland allegedly exposed himself to the female passenger sitting next to him and punched her in the face.
Lt. Howard Jacobs says flight attendants and other passengers then subdued Chappille, as he disrobed. He was apparently completely naked when sheriff's deputies arrested him."
