ʻO ka ʻimi kānalua no nā ukana purplicious a me nā pōʻino o nā wili makani

ʻO ʻApelila ka Mahina Hoʻomaopopo Stress, akā ʻo ia nō ka Makahiki Humor Lāhui, no laila ua manaʻo wau e hele wau i waho i kahi lālā a kamaʻilio e pili ana i kahi mea e hoʻokūpilikiʻi i ka aficionado huakaʻi hele. Loaʻa wau i ke koko Scandinavian, no laila e like me nā Vikings, he makemake maoli wau e hele e mākaʻikaʻi i ka honua. Akā he ʻāpana Skotlandia wau, no laila ʻaʻole wau makemake e uku no ia.

Nānā wau i nā mokulele google e like me kahi hawk - lālau wau i nā tikiki o ka papa mua-makepono ke ʻike au i ke kumu kūʻai e hāʻule ana i $ 500 mai Honolulu a i nā wahi āpau o ka ʻĀina Nui. Hele mai ka papa ʻekahi me ʻeke 2 no kēlā me kēia kanaka, a i 70 paona i kēlā me kēia ʻeke. He 400 kaʻu Aloha-ʻO nā kāleka Kalikimaka ʻo wau i kūʻai ai no 75 a 90 paha pakeneka i loko o Ianuali, a me nā ʻano waiwai like ʻole o Hawaiiana e hoʻi i ka ʻāina nui.

ʻO kaʻu hulina huikau no nā huahana Palisa ma nā kumukūʻai ʻo Sekotia i hāʻawi ʻia ma mua o 100 mau hiki ma Facebook Marketplace; Eia nō naʻe, ʻo kēlā me kēia mea kūʻai aku aʻu i hālāwai ai me kahi mea pena kiʻi. ʻO nā mea āpau aʻu e nānā aku ai, he wahaheʻe ʻo Louis Vuitton i lawe ʻia mai Shanghai mai kahi i uku ai ka mea kūʻai aku i $ 20 no kēlā me kēia ʻāpana. Ua heluhelu ʻia nā hoʻolaha Facebook ma ke ʻano ʻo "Authentic Louis Vuitton," akā i ka nānā ʻia ʻana, he 30 wale nō kekona ke ʻike ʻia he kikeke kīnā ʻole kēia. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo wai ke kanaka maoli e kūʻai i nā ʻeke 10 Louis Vuitton no $ 2,700 i kēlā me kēia, a laila huli a kūʻai aku iā lākou no $ 1,000 i kēlā me kēia ma Marketplace ma mua o ka hoʻohana ʻana iā lākou i hoʻokahi manawa? ʻAʻohe hana i kēlā. Akā kūʻai ka poʻe i nā huahana Louis Vuitton hoʻopunipuni he $ 20 ma Kina, a laila kūʻai kūʻē aku iā lākou i nā mea kūʻai aku Facebook ʻole i manaʻo ʻole ʻia ma Hawaii - ma kahi māka pelapela.

No laila ua huli au i kahi hale kūʻai kaulana, kahi mea makemake nui ʻia ma ka Hema ʻAmelika, i kapa ʻia ʻo Belk. Hoʻolālā lākou i nā huahana a nā wahine Bapetite me nā lauoho nui maoli i makemake e kūʻai. ʻO ka mea liʻiliʻi kaʻu mau ʻanakē Baptist me nā lauoho 3-kapuaʻi kiʻekiʻe i haʻi iaʻu. ʻIke ʻoe, ʻo ke kiʻekiʻe o ka lauoho, ʻo ka pili loa i ke Akua.

Ua loaʻa iaʻu kahi makepono maikaʻi loa: nā ʻūlū poni ʻulaʻula o 3, $ 160 mau, ma ka ʻae no $ 19.99. Wahi a ka wehewehe ʻana i ka ʻūlū "i hōʻike ʻia i loko o ka hue poni momona no laila ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e hopohopo e pili ana i kāu mau mea a wehe paha i kāu ʻeke ma ke kāʻei hoʻopiʻi ukana." He aha ka manaʻo o kēlā? He malu ʻulaʻula paha o ka poni ia i hiki ʻole i kekahi kanaka ke make pū me ia. ʻAʻole wau i manaʻo i ka poni - ʻo ka hōʻailona o Skotlandia ka kakalaioa poni, no laila me kekahi mau decals a me nā mea hoʻonaninani e hana lākou i mea kōkua maikaʻi no kahi wahine pāpale wahine a i ʻole kahi wahine ʻekika.

ʻIke wau i ka nui o nā wahine aloha i ka poni. ʻO ka manawa hope loa i kūʻai ai i kahi ʻeke mai ka Aloha ʻO Swap Meet, he poni, me ka hibiscus, a loaʻa nā huaʻōlelo “Aloha”A me“ Hawaii ”i paʻi ʻia ma luna. Ma hope o ka hoʻohana ʻana iā ia e lele i Detroit, ua kau wau i kahi hoʻolaha e kūʻai aku ai ma ka pūnaewele - a kūʻai aku ia ma lalo o hoʻokahi minute. No laila he ʻeke ʻeke paha kahi mea aʻu e noʻonoʻo pono ai, keu hoʻi inā prone lākou i ka lawe ʻia ʻana e nā wahine lauoho nui.

I ka wā aʻu i heluhelu ai i kā Belk paʻi liʻiliʻi no kēia mea ua ʻike wau i ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo: “Loaʻa paha i kēia huahana nā kemika i ʻike ʻia e ka mokuʻāina ʻo Kaleponi e hana i ka maʻi ʻaʻai a me ka Reproductive Harm. Ke kuhikuhi nei lākou i nā wahine hāpai, a i ʻole ke kuhikuhi nei lākou i kaʻu mau koa liʻiliʻi ma lalo o ka mahele o ka "reproductive harm"? Pono wau e mālama i kaʻu mau koa liʻiliʻi me ka makaʻu ʻole inā e noi mai ʻo Dolly Parton iaʻu e male iā ia. ʻIke wau he 73 ʻo ia a ʻaʻohe paha ona manaʻo e hānau hou me aʻu, akā nui kona lauoho a mahalo nui ʻo ia i kaʻu ʻeke Pride of Dixie Belk. A ʻo ia wale nō ka wahine ma ka honua e hiki ke huli pololei iaʻu. ʻĀ, hiki nō paha iā Jane Seymour, akā pono wau e nīnau mua i kuʻu pūhaka. ʻO ka nīnau $ 64,000, a i ʻole ka nīnau $ 19.99: he waiwai anei nā ʻaukeke poni ke loaʻa i ka maʻi ʻaʻai?

Nui nā buzz e pili ana i ka hoʻolaha a Mr. Pelekikena e pili ana nā kinikini i ka maʻi ʻaʻai. Kuhi au no ke kumu i make ai nā poʻe a pau ma Holani. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia he mea e pili ana i ka neʻe ʻana o ka wili. I kēia manawa, he "wili" kēia mau ʻūlū ʻo ia hoʻi hiki iā ʻoe ke wili iā lākou i nā kekelē 360.

He Sekotia wau e ka moʻomeheu, akā ʻo kaʻu DNA ʻo Scandinavian. Kau mau nā Scandinavia i kahi waiwai kiʻekiʻe i ka palekana, ʻo ia ke kumu i kūʻai ai au i Volvo C70 i hoʻohuli ʻia. ʻO ka Skandinavian lāua ʻo Skotlandia ka mea i alakaʻi iaʻu i kahi pilikia koʻikoʻi nui - ʻo wai wau - he Skotina ʻoluʻolu a he Scandinavian palekana paha? Kūpono paha ke kumukūʻai kūʻai i ke koʻikoʻi o ka loaʻa ʻana i ka maʻi ʻaʻai?

No kekahi mau minuke noʻonoʻo wau i ka pilikia. Ma muli paha o ka hana wili ke kumu o ka maʻi ʻaʻai. Ua noʻonoʻo wau, maikaʻi, inā e wili wau iā lākou i hope, e hoʻōla anei ia i ka maʻi ʻaʻai?

I ka nalowale ʻana o nā kupuna wahine ʻelua i nā hikoko cerebral, nui kaʻu ukana naʻau ke pili i kēlā kumuhana. Koe wale no ka carcinoma basal cell (kahi pilikia maʻamau no ka Scandinavians lauoho ʻalani maka e noho ana i Hawaii) ua noho maikaʻi ʻole wau e ka ʻino o ka maʻi ʻaʻai.

I ka hopena, ua lanakila ka ʻaoʻao "palekana mua" ʻo Scandinavian iaʻu. E like me koʻu aloha i nā hoʻolimalima, ua loaʻa paha iaʻu nā mea hou aʻe ma mua o kaʻu mau mea i kūʻai ai mai kēia ukana ukana. Aia mau ka Aloha Kūkākūkā ʻo Swap Meet e luna i kaʻu paona 280 (4 mau ʻeke) no ka ʻeke mua o ka ʻeke ukana o ka papa mua. ʻO kahi ʻoluʻolu e hele i ka Swap Meet kahi leʻaleʻa o Scot.
