hi Cakes

 

yes they are!

 

Thanks,Ellen.

 

Indeed times are difficult. In Hawaii things are very expensive. And I know elsewhere things are rough. I feel for you all.

I have plenty of Kombucha Scobys/Mothers/Mushrooms/Starters if anyone would like me to mail you some.

I've been making & selling Kombucha as a drink but mostly as a vinegar. I use different types of teas, honey, white, brown and raw sugar, molassas, etc for different flavors. One of the most popular drinks and vinegar kombucha is edible hibiscus and lemongrass kombucha, the tea which I grow myself (very easy to grow both). I also use the actual mothers in fruit salad for my catering business.

Selling kombucha products, herbal vinegars, oil in decorated bottles helps supplements our income in these tough economic times as does my little genealogy business and freelance writing. I also make jewelry that sells well. Business really picks up for the edibles, jewelry and genealogy around October to December when folks are buying stuff for gifts and getting family pedigrees for family members' presents.

Just an idea that might help you make your way in these difficult times.

My husband and I will be moving to the Philippines in November-the economy and politics are part of the reason. His cancer is incurable but he's pretty strong and it is at bay and stable due to the physiology of belief and his strong mind. So we are going where we can have our life the way we wish.

Once we are in the peacefulness of the province, with a view of the mystical Mount Banahaw, I plan to edit and proof the books I've been writing for the past few years for publication. Already have a small publisher for one so that will be good for a little more income or a lot if it sells well. Will also continue my work for the US government doing genealogical research on soldiers of all wars who were POWs, KIAs or MIAs. I will be the first one doing it from the Philippines and they are anxiously awaiting my being there as I can do a better job of finding family members of these soldiers to obtain DNA for the database. Very exciting and rewarding work. We have a small farm and will raise pigs, goats and rabbits. Our house has a small store in the front where I will sell my kombucha products, herbs, lettuce and specialty baked goods. There is good foot traffic as there are 3 churches nearby and hopefully the congregation members will buy stuff.

Just offering ideas that might help some of you gain some additional livelihood. Unfortunately the climate in Texas these days is not good for raising many animals. In the Philippines it is better because it's not dry at all.

Cakes, according to those who have access to the stories you wrote, you are very prolific, why not write for the tabloids! I make $700 per little dinky story I write.

I'm also trying to get my house turned inside out and have a garage sale. Huge task. I worked eight hours straight yesterday from 5AM to 1PM and still only put a small dent in the accumulation of stuff I have picked up over the 8 years I've been in Hawaii. My hubby says I am a pack rat. I think he is right!

Cheers.

Hi Saro,
Thanks for all the ideas you have put forth. We seem to have a lot in common. I make Kambuchu also. I have Jewelry that I make and am about to create a masterpiece necklace for my sisterfriend Ellen.

I would be interested in writing for tabloids or any publisher for that matter It seems to be that I should be writing bc when I write it comes flowing out like a river to the sea. It would be simply marvelous if I could get paid for what is in my head.

I hope your move to Japan will bring you happiness and what you desire.

Good to see Saro here.

Hi Cakes. Just got your latest story. Cool.
Been too busy working to breath. Where does the time go.

Will get back on stories and editing when I can.

Love All

 

Saro Where in Hawaii do you live?

Do You do Hawaiiain Geneology???? That is a special science/Geneological Chanting is what my neighbor does for his family only but he can go back like 50 generations or some CRAZY number of Ancestrial forefathers. He is the Cultural Kumu of the Ahupuaha of Halawa and also one of Moloka'i Hawaiian Culture Folks used to get paid for doing his thing. Still Chants almost daily. VERY wild and amazing hearing the puu blow and then chanting when folks come into where we live!

RE; Garage sale, If you have any stuff related to off grid power in your pack rat stuff or utensils I may be interested. I head back to Moloka'i next month. I will be on Maui for a few Hours and if you are on Maui i can maybe stop by to see if I could use in Halawa?? Even Pots and Pans as I am intending to build a small bunkhouse for workers to camp in and pots, pans, forks knives spoons BOWLS, are way expensive on Moloka'i. OR even camp stove related stuff or Coleman stuff. Stuff I can pack up and put on Mokulele Air or Pacific Wings as they are good at interisland stuff for locals. Let me know can maybe put some pennies in the pot if you know what I mean. Get your Husband on Taheebo too!!! Sounds like he has the CORRECTLY mind set to fight the beast!!

peace and love

Hi Chris, I live on Oahu-Liliha near the old 1841 Oahu cemetery.

I have no power stuff cause my hhusband does everything by hand. But I will have some plates, silverware, pots & pans, etc in early November. Let me know if you want them and I will just give them to you.

About the Taheebo, we have used this for years. Long story but my husband's first wife was a channeler for 14 ancient doctors and healed many people through natural methods. So he knows about that. That's another reason to return to the Philippines. Thanks for suggesting that though. Noli was supposed to die in 2008 from liver failure caused by chemo. So far he is the only person to survive this. I attribute it to prayer and the Taheebo.

Cakes, Yep it seems we do have things in common. I so far as writing for bucks, just contact the tabloids online and ask them how to submit stories. It is easy if you have interesting topics and I am sure you do.

 

dont feel bad Kenny, I hardly come here cuz of the bs,,, but I am walkin a humble path, so I dont give money to be "here". just look at my 'LOVE" thread on the Rainbow thread,, this guy Tikoo always comes on to my threads and wants to play weird word games. So he just slammed me on my own thread,,, Cakes baby,,, he called me a crude loud mouthed wingnut,,,, he must only see me when I'm workin on the exterior of the gathering,,, fuck yeah i have a mouth,,, geez,, like it's a bad thing,,, everything in it's time and place I say.... ; ) lovin ya'll,
Peace

 

Where's everyone at.. Ranger, Rita, Mouseman, Ellen, Cheryl, Darel, Dan, Ace... Roll Call...lol

We can not Rock with out the Roll

 

Hi Saro
Maybe I can send you some of the USPS Postal Service Cardboard boxes, the "If it fits it ships" that are already PRE PAID and PRE ADDRESSED and you could put the pots pans, bowls etc. in, and you could just tape them up and take them to the Post Office at your town on Oahu (Like Wahiwa/Pearl City, Kialuia), or where ever your post office is. That way they can get to my P.O. in Kaunakakai. IF you do not mind as that is a bit of a hassel. THANK YOU for the offer for the free stuff!! I wish I was flying into Oahu but alas this time I land on Maui then go to Moloka'i

peace and love
wickwah/Chris

 

Hi all. Been under the weather out of it for 3 or 4 daze. 100% couch, sleep, zone on TV, sleep, Zone on TV, repeat for 3 1/2 days. Not at home.

shameless_heifer, Where's you and everyone??? "Ranger, Rita, Mouseman, Ellen, Cheryl, Darel, Dan, Ace... Roll Call...lol

We can not Rock with out the Roll " LOL.

KNEW NEWS. Ranger and Rita were getting free wireless connect off of some neighbor's wifi receiver. Not any longer. Evidently the guy security locked it, and they can't get online any more. They're F__ed.

They call me and My Lady two nights ago to ask us for tech solutions options. We're researching options. Whatever these are, do wonder if they could afford them. We will see them here online if and when this gets resolved. Wish them luck.

Mean time call them in stead. The only way, right now.

Cakes I mellowed on the squabble. It's all Kool Kenny by now.

Let's rock 'n' roll.

eace:
K in a basket.


Oh, was in touch with Mouseman the other night.

 

Hi Kenny,
Welcome Home, glad you are feeling better. I have been out of pocket, dealing with SuperBad tenats and family squables. I want to go live in a cave.

My husband's neice has been renting from us for 7 yrs.. her husband died a few yrs back and she hooked up with a lowlife meth head who has litterly ruined our property, turning it in a skitzers, tweek haven, you know, they ones with all the trash and junk scattered everywhere.

I have been trying to get them out for about 6 months, the law is NO help, seems if you rent out your property to someone it somehow belongs to them and they can do what they want and there is nothing you can do about it. Even if you file legal evition on them they can stay six months without paying rent. Really?!?

The skitzer is rude and biligerent to me and calls me filthy names. I have been hard pressed not to do something against my nature and compound my own bad karma. It has torn me into two seeing our neice hit this low level of conciouness, someone to whom I was extreamly close to.

The eviction has caused a rift in the family unit of my hub's family and me, there-by causing friction between me n hub. I can feel his disaproval boring holes in me. Even tho he knows I am right to evict them. I guess Blood is Blood and I am not. I am just married into it.

He's dis-pleased bc I had to get the law involved.. but there was no other way to handle it bc of biligerant asshat methhead mofoker.

They moved, they had another place and taken all their crap out of the house but left all the horrible mess for us to deal with. The "law" says we cant make them move the nastiness untill we get a court order. They agree it is hidious and unimaginable how ppl could be so filthy. It seems that renters have more rights then the owners and it costs thousands of dollers to get them out, like roaches.. how is that possible.

My stance on meth is. If you're on it, stay away from me and stay the hell off my property, take your bad karma someplace else. I say it out loud, EVERYBODY knows how I feel about, it's no secret.

Our neice knew as we were once the best of friends and spent lots of time together planting flowers and beautifyling our yards.. We were very close untill she hooked up with this lowlife. I tried to council her about this person, no one liked him in our circle.

She was blind to his evil, the devil had veiled her eyes from his wickedness. He got her on the meth and she slid down into the depts of hell with him arm in arm, replacing the love and sweetness that once filled her heart.

I have been torn intwo over this. No one seems to notice the toll it is taking on me. My DIL had to drive me around to JP's office and sheriffs bc I could not drive, I was shaking so bad and my head was overwhelmed I almost ran into the side of the hardware store when I went to get new locks for the doors.

I cannot eat or sleep as my stomach is in knots and my mind will not turn off so it can rest. It hurts me to know that hub does not defend me against his family. I think the reason is bc he has to pay the payments on the trailor out of his pocket, the 350 from the rent paid the payments. The 350 a month he has to pay out of pocket is our food money. So I do understand why he is not happy.

I have been doing for his family for 26 yrs, bending over backwards to help them and believe me they have needed my help plenty and I am always there to provide whatever assistance I can, in triplicate. You know I dont do anything halfass, I take it to the extream, esp love.

I feel betrayed by the ones I spent half my life loving, over a fucking methhead.

I know I will get through this and I know what's is wrong. I have lost my faith, well not really lost it but for some reason I am denying it or putting it on hold.. maybe it's bc of my sister's death. I have not had time to grieve bc of all the turmoil here.

Whichever, I know I still have it bc it knaws at me for reconisation. I dont have time for myself. I cannot meditate or medicate bc I have resposibilities getting my pregnant grand daughter to and from high school doctors appointment, baby stuff gathering. I have house work piling up and my car needs washed and detailed and so do I. There is no Calgon to take me away.

Nailcakes needs a hug.

 

Cakes,

Whichever, buy a box of Calgon. You deserve it, totally. Take a a moment.

Better yet. Just go on strike. If yer hub is not on your side then go and visit a relative for a month until he apologizes to you. Book out of there. Let him do his own cooking and cleaning and all the other stuff for a month. You need to go stay with someone for a month and to help out someone for a month. Some imaginary sick and dying friend or someone in dire need. Who? You? Just don't bother to tell him who. Get it?

I think that it's pretty shitty that he would chose a methhead over his Love. You should call him on his shit. Regardless of his family.

Besides, who in his righteous family is taking them in and sheltering them right now? Tell me that one. I mean that they all love her so very much. Right???

Anyhow, Hubiculous, is it? (Ridiculous?) Tell him to get his shit together. He loves the methhead or he loves you. Which is it? Call him on his shit. He married you, he didn't marry his family. Who is he true to? Kenny says, Be a man. Ridiculous

Point out to your math genius that at $350 per month at 6 months, they have ripped him off for $2,100.00. If you figure that half of that should belong to you, than I would ask him to hand you the $1,050.00 that he owes you. Point blank. That should make him shit a brick. Right?

Point out to him that you guys have had to pay out $2,100.00 out of your own pockets that you should not have had to pay out at all. And why the F___ is that supposed to be all your fault? According to him??? Plus according to his family it's all okay with all of them if these two rip the two of you off for $2,100.00. Gee, thanks family. And obviously it is perfectly okay with his family, if the niece just becomes more and more of a lost and gone methhead to the tune of $2,100.00 worth of meth? They all love and support that correct? Her getting six months or more, further into her hard ass addiction. They all support that. And so's yer oldman… LOL Tell his family that truth. And all that meth bought on your husband and your money. What a cool couple they are. What a true family.

Anyhow. You said they are now out. So, its over. Right? Go somewhere and take a vacation. Forget about your responsibilities. Run off. For your head. Be a hippie and thumb out on the road.

Or at least get some Calgon.

Love, K

 

I have thought about running away but I cannot leave my grand daughter alone and pregnant. She truely needs me and my concince wont let me go. Hub Will hear about it this morning. I am not a one to hold things in.

I hate to have to repremand him, he is so sensitive. He Hates confrontation and discord in the family. He hates arguing and he just wont listen to me, he walks away. I know he is troubled about the $ but there is more to live and happiness then money. There is peace of mind.

I'm sure that things will calm down and get back to normal but this has taken it's toll on our relationship as I do not know if I can forget how it's making me feel.

 

"but this has taken it's toll on our relationship as I do not know if I can forget how it's making me feel."

Talk WITH him about this. Just explain to him exactly how this hurts your feeling. The things that he has done hurt your feelings. Explain calmly to him.
Make him see and make him cry. If he chooses not to listen, tell him that you feel that he doesn't love you. Don't get harsh. Be soft like it is all about caring. Say I love you. I feel hurt. Go there. Do Not allow him to not MAN-UP.

I had always thought that Southern Gentlemen stood up for they're Ladies. You have suffered an injury. Bring out the Dueling Pistols and choose your Seconds. I'm just a lowly yankee. What I'm I suppose to know about all of this. And even further, He calls himself a Texan. What the hell kind of a Texan doesn't stand up for a Lady. Any Lady. That's not a Texan. Start calling him a Rhode Island Regular, private first class. (A Yankee insult.)

So, tell me once again exactly which people in his family took her in???? Thanks. Looking forward to that up-date.
And YOU should rub that one in his face big time!

Plus I just sent an "I apologize to you" PM to the MOD in question. No Names. I Guess that He's Okay. Sorry about all all of the BS that I caused. And The Aggravation that I caused him.


"I have thought about running away but I cannot leave my grand daughter alone and pregnant."

So, run to where she is. Nothing wrong with leaving to aid a poor pregnant woman. Right??? Move over there for a week or a month. He can clean his niece's mess while you're away. That's only fair.

Love You,
K

I'm on your side.

He is not a Texan. Nor a Texas gentleman. Must be an Okee. LOL

I would stand up for you in a heartbeat, however, I would choose sabers, As I have done three years of college fencing and am very good. Kind of like cheating. And yet every Scorpio has its sting. LOL Fereal.

 

lol... prego lives here Kenny

 

Que est que c'est prego????

Pardon my French.

 

pregnent grand daughter lives here

 

Then evict her and go move in with pregnant grand daughter. Get on the plan, Sam.
