And you said I was "over-reacting" when I mentioned my wife almost getting raped in Kailua and that I was always seeming scared. Different when it applies to you doesn't it?

The Boys and Girls Club is a great organization and does what it can. Don't let a few bad apples spoil a good thing.

The one thing they do need is volunteers. They've been asking for that from the beginning so that they would have enough people to monitor the kids.

To everyone else I say...you want to make a positive impact on the community? Start with the youth.

As parents you can't watch them 24/7 and having a place to just "hang out" isn't enough. they need to channel their energy into positive things. Boys and Girls Club is a start when done right. It's not a babysitting service and comes down to parenting. Don't let the bad kids shut down this program.

As far as over-reacting I'm not over reacting.. I'm jus stating facts.. My son didn't let that stop him from walking across the field..It did make him more aware of his surroundings thus street smart....which is a good thing!
As far as the Boys & Girls club needing volunteers you are absolutely correct..


I myself was even thinking of volunteering at one point and time at the boys and girls club and still may even consider it ..
What about you Baht you do any community volunteering I haven't seen your name around town on community minutes or anything..
And again, sorry to hear about your wife....

For others who wish to learn more about the Boys and Girls club -- here is their website..
Boys & Girls Club Of Hawaii

Yes as a matter of fact I am heavily involved in the Susan Komen Foundation after having lost a close friend to cancer, Hawaiian Humane Society, Shriners and Meals on Wheels. I'm not in any major positions, mind you, but do most of the grunt volunteer work.

So you see, when I say I am actually trying to make a better community I really do try. To me, actions speak much louder than words.

How about yourself?

Oh2Funny4you, Actually you were the one who started the thing about posters being the same people.

Awesome work Baht !! I donate monthly to meals on wheels, and Hawaii's Make a wish foundation. I as well have done volunteer work for Hospital's, filled up oranges bags picking up rubbish from the streets in Waimanalo, helped feed the homeless, and helped with activities for children at the YMCA. I feel that volunteer work is most rewarding. Sorry about the loss of your friend.
(Oh that "awesome work" was NOT meant as a sarcastic answer)
Thank you, for your time in volunteering.

Ya'll have a fantastic day !

Baht,
Please check under the topic Illegal B&B's on April 10, the comment made by Nixon.... regarding ghost writers...
then check my comment on April 20, under Talk about Kailua... my question asking if you were the same person as nic...came in 10 days following Nixon's..

Go back, and do your homework....measure twice, cut once...

And your point is?

Frankly you just asked if we were the same person and I answered.

Are you aware that Times Supermarket stands for
(The Island Market Everyone Shops)..it's an oldie...
Showing my age...

Good Night all...

Another thing they should ban are the school and sports groups who are basically panhandling Castle Junction on the weekends.

What ever happened to selling Chili and Chicken?

This originally started with the Food Bank, which wasn't bad, but now it's like everyone is doing it.

It makes them seem not much better than the homeless guy holding the sign saying he's hungry, so please give him money. Give me a break. There was nothing wrong with him from what I could see.

It makes our kids look like beggars.
