This is around the time Mango is ready to be picked for the next few months. Right now they are plump and green where you can make things like pickled Mango... mmmMmmmm pickled Mango... I know you guys want some
My birthday cake I got yesterday. I am not a huge fan of cake If you come here fast enough then i'll share it with you lol
I'd love to come by for mangoes. And cake. Which island should I plan my vacation for?
Oahu
I was in Oahu last November, haven't seen any ripe mangoes but I picked some Macademia Nuts 
I got one of those too! Out of season
Papaya anyone?
I has Bananas!
Yes I do grow a lot of my own fruits, flowers, and veggies I have a lot more I could share but then again I have to leave some mystery lol
Are you shipping?
Lol would be pretty expensive to ship.
How many species of plants are native to Hawaii?
Almost 0. A large amount of plant life here are from the Polynesian and the further by the discovery by Cook. Right now to grow native Hawaiian plant life I believe you need a special permit and a few other things. Been a while I thought about growing some endangered species. The law makes it stupid hard to try and help protect the plants.
I took a "nature" tour on one visit to Oahu. The guide said, "Welcome to the 'houseplant tour'." Virtually every plant we saw was IDed as some plant imported from elsewhere; usually as an ornamental house plant. Only a few were Polynesian "canoe culture" imports. Before the Polynesians there were something like only 7 species of plant that were either blown, floated or carried inside birds to the islands.
Here are some plants specific to the region some can't be found anywhere else other than Hawai. Of course some have been exported from Hawaii.
Two plants I liked the best in Oahu:
1- Teddy's bigger burgers and garlic fries!
2- Food Court at Ala Moana!
oh yeah, we were talking about plants.....
O.o Food court in Ala Moana.
That's like the WORST place to eat.
This was downplayed. Poor maintained vent and grease traps. Poor Sanitation.

Also they have a huge rat problem there too. Not no little mice you find in labs or the typical lab rat. Talking rats without the tail in the 1ft variety. They were there when I had a part time job when I was in college. They are still there when my kids were in college and have jobs there. Now my grandkids are about to face them too if they decide to stay here for college.
I want to sign up for mango and cake. :/ Can that be a thing? I want it to be a thing.
Alsooooo. Happy belated birthday! Have someone make you a pie next year, the superior dessert!

p.s. send mangoes.
At Edd's On The Causeway outside Mobile, Ala, they make a mango pie that is my diet destroying downfall but I bet it can't hold a candle to an actual Hawaiian Mango Cake .
Good food is still good food, with or without Rats in vicinity
We were at Prince Tower, so easy to walk down there to eat. Can't beat the selection and price anywhere else.
You need to travel outside of Honolulu if you want the good stuff >.< seriously I promise
@tmo_lauren hehe I'd have to flash freeze them then ship them. It's not the same after that point
I think us regulars should plan a trip to Oahu and get together for a nice dinner in honor of tidbits. As a practical joke, we can all complain to him about the lack of timely TMO branded firmware updates .
And he shall announce the arrival of Marshmallow update on out Note 4s!
It better have bacon in it with a touch of Nutella
I like this plan...everything except the talking about software updates...
But don't try to steal my job of being his hired driveway sleeper. At the airport I'm going to make it very clear to them that I don't have a return ticket
Oh a tidbit(pun intended) of information
Hawaii is the only state that celebrates a Monarchy.
Ryan, get a pillars and CM trip put into the budget. Oahu needs us!
-Lauren
Sign me up ha ha
What software company you work for there¿ I think I need to apply now.
You never committed a crime or can pass a drug test? Also did you do anything that would cause you not being able to get your a security clearance? Pretty sure you can find out with a simple Google search.
If you are serious I can see what position we have available and in which stateor country so can see if we can streamline the process and to see if it is worth your while.
You never committed a crime or can pass a drug test? Also did you do anything that would cause you not being able to get your a security clearance?
Pass.
Where to send the resume?
What programming languages do you know? And can you lift at least 40lbs?
What programming languages do you know?
I am a software architect, so.......
And can you lift at least 40lbs?
that... plus, I can shot put 40+ ft.
My IT days are behind me, but I suspect that Hawaii needs nurses. I just got my license last month
They do need a lot of nurse but honestly they are underpaid here.

I thought that such might be the case. I've a job lead now for a position which starts at $87k. I don't suppose I could earn that much in Hawaii, at least not as a new grad.
I've programmed in just about everything from HP2100 micro assembly to Python (excluding COBOL) but I'm rusty. I can manage a 40 lb bag of bird seed.
I can try and see what positions are open exactly. What's is your strongest language and do you guys have a portfolio?
Thanks for the offer but I think I'd actually get a pretty bad case of island fever if I were to stay in Hawaii over a month.
Is that committed and been caught or committed but can fake out a polygraph test?
Same thing for the passing a drug test? What about if you can just reliably avoid detection?
Ditto for security clearance.
And like, you know none of your friends or family are rats.
Just asking for umm....you know...communal knowledge

I was given the nickname "Mole" in high school... because I apparently looked like one... So, I embraced it and rodents are my friends
snitches would have been a better word. I'm surry to insult your rodent family
If they'll give you clearance it doesn't matter. Albeit I did disclose what I did in my younger days and I was still given my clearance.
I mean I know people with clearance now and what they've done. I gotta be an instant approve for sure
You're Approved, Ryan!
Don't give him approval!
