Friends, I have found a very special place on the Islands and I want to share it with you, It’s called the Mele Nai’a Spa in Honolulu, but first let me tell you a little of the culture and history behind the treatments this spa provides.

The Hawaiian term Lomi Lomi is used to describe a very special massaging technique which involves gentle rubbing, pressing, massaging and kneading, similar to the kneading of bread dough or what a cat does with it’s paws when content.

Unlike a regular massage, Lomi Lomi uses targeted and controlled yet gentle manipulations to holistically heal and detoxify the body, mind and spirit.

Once performed by the ʻōlohe lua (Hawaiian martial arts masters) and the kahuna lāʻau lapaʻau (healers) as a luxury for the ali’i (ruling chiefs) of ancient Hawaii.

During the 1800s,the Kingdom of Hawaii was being converted to Christianity.  As a result, the art of Lomi Lomi was almost lost due to various religious inspired laws that made it a crime to practice what the church considered “a heathen practice”.  Many healers were forced underground, carrying with them the secrets of this ancient tradition and passing it down amongst family members and close trusted friends.

I am happy to announce that I have recently found a beautiful place right here on the Islands that offers the same services once reserved for royalty.  You can now experience the beauty of Lomi Lomi with a wide range of special services offered by the Mele Nai’a Spa in Honolulu, Hawaii. Weather your just visiting or kama’aina, you will discover the joy and benefits of relaxation and detoxification from each Lomi Lomi session.

Come and treat yourself or a loved one, boss, employee or coworkers to one of the most relaxing and long lasting treatments the human body can experience!

For a short time, if you mention you saw this online, the Mele Nai’a Spa will automatically get 20% off of all services.

To Divorce or not to divorce?

  • Posted on May 16, 2011 at 5:20 pm

I’ve been married for two years. I got married bc I decided I needed to be the best father I can be for my daughter who is now 3. My wife was hanging out with another man at work and the gym about a year ago and wanted to leave me. I said OK bye and she came back and begged me to stay and I gave in. She said they never kissed or had relations. She then set out on a mission to get pregnant again and we had another child who is 2 months now. I am very unhappy in my home but my children are very important to me, the reason I married is bc we broke up before and I couldn’t see my children bc she told the court i was a heroin addict, a totally false accusation and called the cops and said i beat her. I don’t know what to do bc I love my children and i feel like as long as i’m here i protect them from her and her families craziness, but i also would like to have a life i enjoy. any advice would be helpful.

Anyone raising your husbands child from a one-night-stand?

  • Posted on May 16, 2011 at 5:20 pm

My husband & I have custody of his child that resulted from an on-night-stand that happened just before we met. We didn’t know about her until about a year ago. I know she needs me (her biomom is a meth-head) and I will take care of her. The problem is, I’m having problems with treating her totally different than my daughter. My husband tries to understand but ultimately thinks it’s not fair. My take on this is…I don’t mind to take care of her but I’m going to make 100% sure my daughter does not suffer because of it in any way.

P.S. We also have my step-son every other weekend, holidays & summer. He’s awesome and we couldn’t have a better relationship.

My daughter is 12, Step-son is 11, new step-daughter is 10.

Looking for comments/advise. Thanks

Is there anything I can do to help make this easier?

  • Posted on May 16, 2011 at 7:21 am

I adopted our youngest when she was four months old after her biological parents gave her up for adoption. She is now 14. Both parents had severe addictions to crystal meth, and realized that so long as they were addicts, they could not take care of their daughter.

We opted for an open adoption, and Ashley’s mother was very active with her. They seemed to have a very good relationship and was welcome in our home anytime. She and my daughter had a great relationship, and while she feels like part of our family she loved being around her bio.

She never did kick her habit, but she NEVER visited Ashley whilst high or withdrawing and for that I commend her. They had a very healthy bio/adoptee relationship despite everything. She tried multiple times to quit, but she eventually died a couple of months ago after her heart gave out. Of course our daughter was completely shattered after losing her.

Her father was a different story. She’s met him all of six times since she was born, and every time we’ve met up with him to visit he was tweaking out of his mind, and kept calling her by the name of one of his other children. She usually leaves the visit in tears and very confused. He has had very little to do with our daughter, and she has typically wound up calling him for visits out of a great need to reconnect with him. He has never shown initiative and it hurts her a lot. She eventually gave up, and stopped contact.

But ever since her mother died a couple of months ago, her father has been showing up at her school, calling her cell phone and showing up at the house without calling. She is horribly torn, she feels betrayed by her father and (quite understandably) scared by his bizarre behavior. But at the same time, she feels like she may lose out on a chance to reconnect with him and have a relationship with him.

I cannot make this decision for her, it’s not my place to do. But it is my place to protect her, and this man doesn’t seem safe to me. He is still constantly coming around while high. Not to mention seeing his past behavior i’m inclined to think he cannot change. I don’t want to see my daughter hurt, physically or emotionally. But I don’t want to deny her the chance at a relationship with her father after she just lost her mother. She seems distraught every time he comes around and she comes to me for advice on how to handle the situation, and i’m afraid I cannot give her any answers.

Does anyone know how to handle this?

What should I do about my wife and her “friendship” with the father of her daughter?

  • Posted on May 15, 2011 at 7:23 pm

My wife and I have been together for 5 years, and she already had a 2 year old from her previous relationship. The guy is a drunk who beat her for a year in front of their daughter. He lives in the town over from us and sees his daughter when he wants to. He pays no support and can’t even drive to pick her up because he has two DUI’s and lost his license. He cried over my wife for a long time, but eventually we were married and now we have two kids together. He is still a drunk, and thinks he should call my wife when he has a problem that he can’t figure out himself, so he’ll get drunk and call, and my wife will talk to him trying to make him happy. He recently called drunk at 10am asking what to do, cause his parents wanted to commit him for being suicidal, but he was just drunk. I have told my wife I don’t want her talking to him about anything that doesn’t concern their daughter, that he doesn’t need to call her and vent his feelings to her. She seems to think this makes me a bad guy, and she can do what she wants. So she tries to be discreet about it. I ran to the store the other night to get us stuff, and when I got home she was on the phone with him, talking to him really gently, about stuff that did not concern their daughter. I see red when I think about it, I flipped. I sent him a message telling him to find his own wife to cry to. He calls when I was in the room with my daughter, all mad that I sent him that message, and my wife starts getting upset and crying. She seemed to be more upset that I upset him, than the fact that I was mad at her. I’m still mad at her, but she is just pretending like nothing happened, like we didn’t sleep in different beds. I don’t know what to do, she’s trying to be all lovey lovey with me, never said she was sorry (but she apologized for me on the phone to that bitc* when he called) but I don’t want to be anywhere near her. I don’t want to break my family up, but I won’t continue to put up with that.

Who lost all respect for Jamie Fox?

  • Posted on May 15, 2011 at 7:20 pm

Jamie Foxx had some not-so-nice words for Miley Cyrus during his weekend Sirius radio show “The Foxxhole,” judging by a audio posted on YouTube and heard below.

During a discussion criticizing Miley, 16, for being upset at not getting to meet Radiohead backstage at the Grammys, Foxx, 41, told her to get a gum transplant and to “make a sex tape and grow up… Get like Britney Spears and do some heroin… get some crack in your pipe… Catch chlamydia on a bicycle seat.”

Someone else is heard calling her a “white bitch.”

Foxx has a teenage daughter.

A forty-one year old man taunting a child. Wow. I am speechless.
Well I am 19 so I am not exactly a Hannah Montana fan. But what he said was beyond messed up. I am guessing he’ll get away with this since of society’s double standards(i.e. Imus)

I just realized my husband is an alcoholic. What now?

  • Posted on May 15, 2011 at 6:17 pm

What do I do? I’ve teased and thought for a while that maybe he was and we’ve been starting to have a lot of problems and are looking for a counselor but haven’t made it yet, I just don’t get the feeling he really wants to, you know..I don’t know how to explain it to someone who isn’t or hasn’t been in a similar situation. Well, anyway after a while, I’ve read up and I’ve studied the so called steps they take and well they are about 3-4 steps and he’s on his way to the second step. I know his parents notice it. His real dad is a alcoholic and he’s never met him nor ever wanted to and swore when his mom told him (after my husband got a DUI**, Yeah I know) he didn’t want to turn into his dad that he’s been turning into him. things were fine until certain events in our life happened. We have a two year old daughter and I just don’t what to do, as of now I just don’t feel like things will change but I don’t want to give up. I don’t know if I should leave for a while and let him get his sh*T together or what, but if I leave him I don’t know how our finances will work, our set up is weird. Please anyone, I don’t know what to think or what to do, or what to say to him or should I go to his parents.
He hasn’t touched either of us and I truly don’t believe he will, but I didn’t think I’d be in this situation with him he really is a complete different person then I married, a lot of people are telling me it may be because he’s cheating on me, I can say sometimes I truly believe he is, but I don’t have proof and can really say either way.

Bill’s elbow?

  • Posted on May 15, 2011 at 1:22 pm

One day Bill complained to his friend, “My elbow really hurts, I guess I should see a doctor.”

His friend offered, “Don’t do that. There’s a computer at the drug store that can diagnose anything quicker an cheaper than a doctor. Simply put in a sample of your urine and the computer will diagnose your problem and tell you what you can do about it. It only costs $10.”

Bill figured he had nothing to lose, so he filled a jar with a urine sample and went to the drug store. Finding the computer, he poured in the sample and deposited the $10. The computer started making some noise and various lights started flashing. After a brief pause out popped a small slip of paper on which was printed: You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water. Avoid heavy lifting. It will be better in two weeks.

Late that evening while thinking how amazing this new technology was and how it would change medical science forever, he began to wonder if this machine could be fooled. He decided to give it a try. He mixed together some tap water, a stool sample from his dog and urine samples from his wife and daughter. To top it off, he masturbated into the concoction.

He went back to the drug store, located the machine, poured in the sample and deposited the $10. The computer again made the usual noise and printed out the following message:

Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. Your dog has worms. Get him vitamins. Your daughter is using cocaine. Put her in a rehabilitation clinic. Your wife is pregnant with twin girls. They aren’t yours. Get a lawyer. And if you don’t stop jerking off, your tennis elbow will never get better.

I’m afraid my ex-husband’s new wife might be abusing our 2 year old, what should I do?

  • Posted on May 15, 2011 at 4:21 am

My ex and I seperated early last year. When we were going to try to work things out, I found out he was seeing a known enemy of mine, so I went ahead with the divorce. They’re married now, she has 3 kids from a previous marriage and now they have another on the way. First off, her children are savages. The two boys and girl, lack discipline and attention. They obviously spend no time teaching them anything and more time putting them in front of TVs so they can smoke their marijuana. (They’ve recently spent their welfare money on medical marijuana cards) So other than the fact that my daughter comes home (from every other weekend at Daddy’s) with sugar addictions and cranky whining (I guess this is how her children get THEIR way instead of using words) she’s starting to act straight traumatized. Her father has recently started attending school so apparently my daughter is spending God knows how much time with this barbaric woman and her disorderly kids. Today, my boyfriend tells me, as he and our daughter arrive home, that she raced out the door in tears. It took me about an hour to calm her down and when i asked her father about it, he promptly responded 45 minutes later (after I confronted his wife) with “She’s fine, you’re ridiculous.” So in conclusion, I know I can’t gain full custody for ill-parenting and nutrition, but what CAN I do?
