I'm cutting back on salt because of my blood pressure, but I'd like to ask for some
healthy chicken breast recipes that taste great even without salt.
I'd really appreciate your help.

I slice the chicken breast lengthwise and stir-fry it in olive oil with wine vinegar, garlic, black pepper, and herbs. I also stir-fry broccoli, onions, and other vegetables along with them. I found the wine vinegar online, so I bought it right away. It turned out really delicious.

I currently have a family law case regarding child custody pending outside of California and am looking for someone who can provide urgent consultation ・ and assistance.

I am looking for an attorney who can consult ・ and communicate with me in Japanese.

If you know of any attorneys, legal aid organizations, or legal assistance programs for low-income individuals who have experience with custody issues and interstate jurisdiction matters and can handle this at the lowest possible cost, I would greatly appreciate any information you can provide.

As time is of the essence, if you know of anyone who can provide a consultation soon or any support organizations, I would greatly appreciate any information you can provide.

Thank you in advance.

Nice to meet you.
I live in Japan and am currently traveling in the U.S. Yesterday, while driving a rental car from Idaho to Yellowstone, I exceeded the speed limit （ of 65 miles per hour ） by about 40 miles and was issued a ticket by the Fremont County Sheriff for DRIVING -RECKLESS, and was told to call if I cannot appear in court on a certain date in September; I was also told that the fine would be determined at that time.
Will I be able to pay the fine after I return to Japan? ？
Also, what would be a reasonable amount? ？
I would appreciate any information you can provide. Thank you in advance.

Before the date in September arrives, call the Fremont County Circuit Court ） listed on the ticket （ Citation ）, explain that you must return to Japan （ because you are a traveler ）, and ask how to pay the fine.
Since this traffic ticket is not a standard speeding violation but rather “Reckless Driving （” ）—a criminal misdemeanor （ ）— I do not believe online payments via the court portal （ (such as the Wyoming Judicial Branch Payments system) are available.
If you’re told you must appear in court or if the fine is substantial, you should consider hiring a Wyoming traffic attorney （ Traffic Attorney ） to appear on your behalf.
I wrote that as if I knew what I was talking about, but it was actually a Google AI search. I just copied and pasted a topic by “Harabou” in Japanese. Looks like I could become a lawyer starting tomorrow ！ ！

As a parent, that post was just too much to bear
I've heard that when you get caught going over 100 miles per hour, you're usually taken straight to prison. Reizou-kun is absolutely right.

I’m a complete layman, but I’m confident in stating the following:

Arrested for a serious speeding violation ・ Even if you aren’t detained, since this is a misdemeanor, it’s likely to hinder your future entry into the U.S. via ESTA. If your ・ financial situation allows, I believe the best course of action is to hire a traffic attorney to seek a reduced charge in court. (Using a defense prepared by a lawyer—such as unfamiliarity with U.S. traffic laws or the rental car’s speedometer, or that the speeding was not intentional.) In any case, I believe it is necessary to obtain a written copy of the court’s judgment to use as a defense when applying for a visa in the future.

If you ignore the judgment and fail to pay the fine, the court (not the police) will issue a bench warrant. This will result in your immediate arrest ・ and detention upon entry into the United States.

This is equivalent to receiving a red ticket for excessive speeding in Japan, where the penalty is a fine for a criminal offense rather than an administrative penalty.

I posted this because I’d like to hear from owners who rent out their rooms through a room-sharing arrangement
.

Regarding personal belongings, furniture, or appliances
—and how to handle situations where it’s unclear who caused the damage when
several people are living together—we’d like to hear your advice as we’re planning to start renting out a room ourselves
and want to learn about various issues, such as disputes between tenants
.
Thank you in advance 🤲

Since I’m getting older, I’d like to leave a will for my sons.
What’s the typical fee for a consultation? ？
Is there a system like the one in Japan where the first 30 minutes are free? ？

I live in Hawaii, but since things vary greatly depending on the lawyer and the time period,

it’s wise to ask an AI. For details like what they’re like or how old they look, I think the experiences of people who’ve recently used a lawyer would be helpful.

I live in Hawaii. I have two children, ages 2 and 5. Since both my spouse and I work and often have to work late, we’d like to use a babysitting agency. I’d appreciate any advice from anyone who has experience with this. Thank you in advance.

If you have a spare room, I’d recommend considering a live-in babysitter （ Au Pair ） as one of your options.
There’s a placement agency called “Au Pair International,” and Hawaii is one of the areas they cover. ！

My child will turn 6 next month.
We use The Bus to get to school, but it seems a HOLO card is required starting at age 6, so we need to get one.
Is going to the Kalihi Transit Center the only way to do this?
Also, do I have to bring my child with me to the Kalihi Transit Center to get the card?
Or can I get it done if I go alone as a parent, as long as I bring my passport or other ID?
If anyone knows, please let me know.

I'm not up to date on the latest information, but I believe you could also get one at the service counters of Foodland and Time’s Supermarket at Ala Moana Shopping Center.
You can also have multiple accounts under your own name.

You can't get HOLO cards for children at places like Foodland.

My apologies.
It seems you need a photo ID (such as a passport) to get the children’s discount.
It seems the locations are limited to
Satellite City Halls (except Ala Moana Center)
TheBus Pass Office (Kalihi)
Online (see form below)
.
Since I’ll probably be taking the bus with my child to school, this was very helpful.

Thank you, everyone.
Satellite City Hall operates by appointment only and had no openings until the second week of next month. … It looks like I’ll have to go to the Karihi Transit Center. Thank you for the information.

I’ve passed the written test and am now trying to schedule my road test.
For those who have no issues with driving skills—such as having driven in another state—and who took the test in a rental car rather than using their own car or borrowing a friend’s, is there anyone here? ？

I’ve seen comments on blogs from quite a while ago saying things like, “There are rental car companies that’ll lend cars to provisional license holders for the test,” or “I was able to use an hourly car-sharing service,” but since there are no details—such as which specific companies were used—they’re not helpful at all.
If anyone has personal experience with this, please share your story with me.

The other day, I received a debit card from my usual bank that I didn’t order.
Very few people know my Social Security number or personal information. Also, my husband files our taxes every year.
I canceled the card, but I feel very uncomfortable that my personal information isn’t being protected. I’d appreciate advice from anyone familiar with these kinds of situations. Also, if I were to go to the police or a lawyer, would I be able to find a solution? ？ I’d like to know what the process would be like.
