post random questions daily and see if anyone plays with me and answers them :)

As some are aware here, I recently moved to Hawaii. The woman who managed my house as a vacation rental stole the name of my house “Hale Mahinui” and has used it to name her own website, rather than return my domain name to me.

If you google “hale mahinui” you will see for yourself what she has done, when you view the first three website portals that come up.

This is the latest in her abusive actions toward me since she has suffered the loss of income due to no longer being able to collect half the money she charged to rent out my house. I know, that is a huge percentage, but we are on catchment water and she was supposed to keep the rain gutters free of debris and change the water filters. A little different than what property managers do in Palm Springs.

Point being, I need some help in putting an end to her malevolence. Ideas?

It’s getting chilly out, some places anyway.

Do you like soup?

what’s your fave?

What is your largest challenge?

What is the most important part for you to conquer within that challenge?

mine: a former business associate has accused me essentially of stealing, after having done some highly questionable and less than ethical maneuvers to support an extortionate demand

My challenge is to work through the mountain of disrespect I am growing toward her so if there is a solution I can find it.

Is there one thing – just one – that would totally improve your day?

What is it?

Am I the only one who cannot retire my finished goals?

In fact, I have tried to post to this goal earlier today and the same message came – the server shut down unexpectedly…

And do you believe there is a connection between the fears brought on by the anticipation of the effects of global warming on coastal cities and the ravaged economy undergoing ever more collapse globally?

What will it take to turn either or both around?

I am curious. Does it seem that in the past few days there is more animosity showing up on 43 Things than usual, or is it simply that I’ve been oblivious?

For the record, I prefer to let silence speak when it comes to most entries and comments I find offensive. When someone is in pain, or seems to be in pain, if I have anything to offer, I do. It isn’t always pure sympathy, but I do try to be kind.

But the lashing out, the singling out of certain people to chastise, name call, and all that is not drama but pure pre-adolescent playground bashing. I love the interaction here, but if when I began on this site I had run into all the name calling and condemnation on here right now, I would not have stuck around. It makes me feel bad for those who are being picked on, often for simple honesty.

Finally, I recognize that people who are emotionally troubled often cannot stop themselves from inappropriately lashing out.

Were you / are you frustrated today?

43Things went down when I was working on something, foolishly, right on the site.

Then afterwards, it was hours before I realized I had to log back in to get back on.

And now, my messages are “gone” when I look for them, but there when I access a particular message through email.

grrrrrrr

Anyone else had problems here today?

_{is it safari?}

What was the last really stupid thing you did?

I misread the arrival time for the departure time on my flight today so I am not in Hawaii. This has caused all sorts of diabolical annoyances and added expenses. I am trying to convince myself this is the adult version of falling and skinning my knees, and so far, it isn’t working.

Is April the cruelest month?

Why?
