They say it's rude to promise to buy something, only to have it withdrawn in the middle of the process. If you don't want to sell, why don't you just say no?

Sometimes I wonder if someone else came along to buy at a higher price. I was asked by a last minute returnee if I would like to buy a set of educational books for ＄ 10, and I gladly agreed, but the next day I was told "I spilled coffee on them and threw them away". It's strange that there was so much coffee on everything, but I didn't get to see it, and I'm sure ＄ someone was buying it for more than 10.
＄ It's hard to believe that someone would abandon a bag of 3 for ＄ 15, even though they said they would buy it for ＄ 20. Even if someone says they will buy it for 20, normal adults don't dance around the difference.

In the past, a person offering a low price in Chicago did not respond at all and was raising the price behind the scenes, which led to a flood of complaints, and finally I was banned from that site.

Then don't buy it. Or buy it yourself. It's hard to get, and you spent hours and hours in line early in the morning to get it, and you spent gasoline to get a rare item, so it has a premium.
I know someone who was able to buy one without standing in line, but he didn't say which store.
I heard there were long lines everywhere in the South Bay. There was a guy who thought they were giving them away for free. He was told by the guy at the store how much and how long the line was there 😆.

Thanks to the cooperation of many people, we have safely brought Corydoras from Japan.
I just wanted to share some information as I am getting settled into life in Palo Alto.

・ Tap water tastes the same as in Japan. （ I used to drink tap water as it is in Japan. ）
I still have some 4 in 1 that I brought from Japan, so I use it to remove chlorine.
As for bactericide, I use TOPFIN biological clearner which I bought here.

・ The filtering system, Eheim 2213, was shipped separately by air, discarding the filter media.

・ The filter media, hoses, and water tank were purchased from Amazon.
The tank was purchased as a starter set, so the filtration system could be used as a connection until the Eheim arrived.
（ Corydoras pandas finally started to survive after switching to Eheim, so Eheim was a must-have product. I don't know how I held on to it until it arrived ）

・ The bucket was purchased at Dollar Tree. I feel like I can't really find the bucket.


In Japan, I fed Kyorin's Vitacrin Red Beetle, but they do not eat the Red Beetle I bought here at all and I am looking for something else. I thought all akamushi were the same, but I guess they taste different.
Now I feed them corribits that I brought from Japan.
If you have any information on recommended food for corydoras, please let me know.

I think you just wanted to complain a little and relieve some stress.
We all have our moments, don't we?
I can't tell from the text what kind of discrimination you actually suffered, but you may not have meant to discriminate
but it is true that there is such a thing as discrimination.
I think the person who discriminates against you is not satisfied with himself.
I think it is a shame and a waste of time to be pushed around by such people, so let's ignore them. People who work hard in any profession are wonderful. Don't lose, do your best.

Mr. Ray
Do you know that society revolves around people from all walks of life ？
No matter how respected you are, your life would not be possible without people to build your house, clean your house, and cook your food
And when you say that discrimination is wrong, isn't it strange that you say that people should not be discriminated against? And when we are talking about discrimination, isn't it funny to say "you don't have to become a person who is discriminated against"?

https://www.lawfirm4immigrants.com/why-are-visa-and-green-card-holders-being-detained-and-deported/
Common Reasons for Green Card If you look at Holder Detention, you will see the reasons for being detained or deported by immigration.
The ones that might be relevant to the general public are
1. Extended Absence from the U.S.
2. Criminal Record
3. Violation of Green Card Terms


1. is that if you are away from the U.S. for more than 180 days, CBP may consider that you do not intend to stay in the U.S. permanently. The rule is that you need a Re-entry Permit when you leave the U.S. for more than a year, but I saw a lawyer's site that recommends getting a Re-entry Permit even for a stay of 6 months to a year.

I think 2. means that even a minor criminal record in the past can be considered a problem by the current administration. The woman who was detained for a long time in Seattle had been convicted of embezzlement （ no jail time ） about 20 years ago, I think. Many places explain that this record is the reason for the detention. Also, records for drunk driving, etc., may become more stringent in the future.

As for 3., what is described is unauthorized work or illegal activity. Perhaps, having a job with a certificate of residence there during your stay in Japan may also trigger a decision that you have no intention of permanent residence. If it is just this one month, I think it would not be a problem, but I wonder what would happen if, for example, counting from this time last year, I was absent from the US for more than 6 months in total before re-entering the US. From what I've seen online, I couldn't see any cases of more than 6 months total on multiple occasions. If you are very worried, it would be better to consult an immigration attorney.

I think the plan you are talking about is either of the following.
https://www.genkialawai.org/
This one is a plan to clean the Ala Wai Canal by introducing balloons (Genki Balls ）) mixed with bacteria that promote the breakdown of sludge.
The goal is to make the canal accessible for fishing and swimming by 2026. I think I saw some news that the water quality on the east side of the canal is improving, but I am not sure.

https://www.bluealawaicanal.org/
This is a more aggressive plan, which is to excavate around the current Monsarrat Street to connect the canal to the ocean and use sluice and tidal channels to clean up Ala Wai.
It is a bold plan, but what are the chances of it being realized ・ ・ ・

The Ala Wai Canal occupies a large area in the middle of Honolulu.
For example, if the Ala Wai Canal is cleaned up and made available for swimming and playing, it would create a new activity as the back side of Waikiki. However, I wonder if it will take a long time to realize it when I ride my bicycle by the Ala Wai Canal.

Also, when I saw the bluehawaiicanal commercial, I thought it looked interesting, but when I looked at the website, it depicted large buildings on both banks of the canal built along Monsarrat, which made me think ？ that there is a development in the end and I had some delicate feelings. ・ ・ ・
Also, I wonder about the feasibility of connecting the Ala Wai Canal and Waikiki Beach, and what will happen to the water quality near Ala Moana ？ where the Ala Wai water will flow out.

Ala Wai Canal, I think the water quality is getting better than it was 12 years ago, but

I still think it is impossible to improve the water quality. I know that there is a project to clean up the canal,
but when I asked the person in charge, he said that the goal is to improve the water quality first.

It may take decades to complete the project, but there is a possibility that
in the near future, people will be able to swim in the Ala Wai Canal.

Waikiki is dry now because of the Ala Wai Canal. If not for the Ala Wai Canal
, Waikiki would still be a marsh.

Why ？

It affects those who work for Nissan, but how does it affect consumers ？
Nissan's North American headquarters is in Nashville, TN, though.

There is a Nissan Dealer, but that's a licensing agreement. So,
Nissan does not operate it directly.

If you can buy Nissan cars at low price, it is good for consumers ？

What kind of business crisis ？ do you understand ？ ？
because it is reported in the press. I think it would be better if people who don't know anything about Nissan don't say too much about it

I am a Nissan user.

When the merger with Honda was discussed, I innocently thought that I could get my Nissan cars serviced at the Honda dealership downtown near my work ？ but even if the merger happens, it will be a long time from now.
I'd rather not be able to get service at the local dealership if something happens to Nissan ？. But I'm sure it won't be that soon, and by then it will be time to buy a new car of my own, so I think I'm worrying too much.

#3 Mr. Koji

The merger talks with Honda have already broken down.

The reasons for the breakdown of this business integration talks are

✅ Nissan's deteriorating financial situation （ 80 billion yen deficit ）
✅ Nissan's executive compensation ・ The unusually high number of executives
✅ Differences in policy between Nissan, which seeks equal integration, and Honda, which is cautious
✅ government （ METI ） involvement and the auto industry

and so on.

Nissan's management is less efficient than Honda and Toyota, and management reform is required.

Thanks for the details. I thought I saw some news about the merger being revisited in the last month or so, but I checked and Honda is saying it's a story that won't happen for a while.
I will keep an eye on how much Nissan's slump in Japan will affect Nissan and dealers in the US.

I was so embarrassed to reply because the person who smoked in the U.S. now has a smelly mouth and a harsh body odor ． right after smoking, ． and the person in question has no idea about it and asks me if I'm dirty ？.
Young girls care about their appearance and body odor, and I can still forgive them if it hasn't built up in their system and they are cleansed, but I wonder what the future holds. It was so fake and funny that there were so many expat smokers and we had meetings with frequent cigarette breaks.

It's hard to tell your boss at work, even though the smell is harassment enough.

The only way is to consult with HR. If it's a decent company, they will take care of it, but I think it's difficult for Japanese-Americans to do so.

If you get a diagnosis that you are sensitive to the smell of cigarettes and slightly allergic to them ？ It's not just cigarettes, but allergies can make the tip of your nose tingle and make you feel bad. Also, having a itchy feeling around my nose was a symptom.

In my case, Primary's doctor put it in writing. I was feeling sick and couldn't stop sneezing because of the smell of perfume, not cigarettes, and when I made an appointment, he said it must be the perfume. I only had that happen at work and I left early to see him when I was sneezing so bad. And many people who wear too much perfume are getting stronger by the day because their own nose is numb. I sent a letter to HR and asked them to change my seat. They told me that they can't pay attention to the person who is the source of the fragrance. I was told it's because I'm the only one who developed allergies. He said it's not enough for someone to say it smells bad. I and another coworker who was concerned about the smell have already quit though.

Dear Topi
Do you have a family doctor for the person having surgery ？
If ， you want the hospital you listed and
your current family doctor is at another hospital, I think you will need a referral letter
or something.
My husband had surgery for the same situation.
He had urinary problems for a while after the surgery, but
he will be back to near normal in a while.

I think it would be a good idea to have a second opinion
as well as a thorough consultation before making a decision.
Please take care of yourself.

I had my pharyngeal cancer treatment done in Queens. There is also a cancer center in Queens.
Depending on the nationality of your family, if you are a Japanese citizen, it is much cheaper to be treated in Japan.
I was charged $250,000 for 7 weeks of radiation and anti-cancer treatment, not surgical.
I was told that I would have monthly checkups for a year after treatment, but I return to Japan every two months for checkups at the Cancer Institute in Japan.
I pray that the best way will be found.
