I am a student studying abroad in Hawaii. I am currently looking for a car. I am learning late at night and if I am lucky, someone I know will give me a ride, but it is difficult to ask every time, and I really need one.

I am looking on Facebook market and craigslist, but they sell quickly and my lack of knowledge makes it impossible to make my own decisions about engines and oil. I have been looking on Vivinavi, but I have not been able to find a good car.
I am a student, so I cannot buy a new car.
I am looking for a Japanese car (Toyota Corolla, Nissan Versa, etc. )) in 2015 or older. My budget is around $8000.

If you are going back to Japan soon or want to let go of your car to buy a new one, please contact me.
Thank you very much.

I live in Hawaii. It seems that the used car rate is increasing due to the rising prices. I just appraised my car to try and find a Japanese sedan older than 2014 with low mileage and anti-theft protection.
It was $2000 more than when I appraised it a few years ago !
There is $8000 even before 2015.

A little older, but a non-Nissan Japanese car will seldom break down.
I wish you the best of luck.

I am divorced from my American husband after 10+ years of marriage. I am a citizen.
My ex-husband is now old enough to receive a pension, and I have heard that if you divorce after 10 years, you can receive half of your ex-husband's pension amount.
I wonder if I can still receive the pension ?
if anyone knows anything about this.

Social Security Administrationのウェブサイトに以下のように記されています。

Benefits For Your Spouse
Even if they have never worked under Social Security, your spouse may be eligible for benefits if they are at least 62 years of age and you are receiving retirement or disability benefits. Your spouse can also qualify for Medicare at age 65.

As you say, if you were married for more than 10 years, you are entitled to half of your ex-husband's pension amount. It should not matter whether you were working or not. See the article "Post-Divorce Security" below.
https://happymoneyusa.com/all-about-social-security/
The conditions are
1 . You must be at least 62 years old and single.
2 . If you apply for benefits before the age of full benefits, they are reduced by that amount.
Therefore, we recommend that you visit the SS Office, explain your divorce situation, obtain the necessary application documents and other information, and begin the process.

My American husband and I divorced after 10 years ± and I received half of his pension at age 66 and switched to my own pension at age 70 because I was working myself. That way I get 25% more. No matter how many times the ex-husbands get married, if they are married for more than 10 years, each
ex-wife receives half of the pension. I recommend you to search Yu tubu on US pensions to get more information.

When turning left from the longitudinal line direction of a T-intersection into the transverse line of a T-intersection (straight ahead direction ? ). If you pause before turning left and see a pedestrian in the crosswalk ahead of the left turn.

Is the correct place to wait, the pause line before turning left
or before the crosswalk after turning left ?

Sorry to be so basic, but please tell me. I am planning to get my driver's license.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, but
whether it's a T-junction or a cross street, if you want to turn left and a pedestrian is about to cross the crosswalk, it's not normal to wait and not start turning left ?
even if you're turning right, if there is a pedestrian, you don't turn and wait.

It is easier to find from the right or left at the T-junction.

One block west on the street in front of the house is a T-junction

There is a stop sign before entering the street north and south.

It is west of the street in front of the house, not one block east.
One block west leads north-south
Turn right or left, but drive one or two blocks to connect to the busy main street.

The T-junction is downhill toward the south, so it would be dangerous without a
stop sign when entering north-south.
Drive safely.

Child sick, working mother ・ How is the father doing ??

Question. Working mothers ・ What do fathers do when their children are absent from school due to illness ?

Do you have a sitter or other service ? For example, if you suddenly find out your child is sick on the morning of school and need a sitter immediately, can you request a sitter on that day? ?

Also, what do you do when your child has a long break from school, such as spring break ・ summer break ・ Thanksgiving break ・ winter break ? Do you leave your child at a day care or summer camp? ?

I would like to work while my child is in school, but I am worried because I have no family or relatives to turn to when my child is sick.

Working mothers ・ I would appreciate any advice from fathers. Please do.

I don't work, so I don't have to worry if my child suddenly gets sick, but I think it is really hard for working families when a child is sick. Thanks to Corona, some people have been able to choose to work remotely, but I think it's tough to work while watching a sick child.

My friend said that she just needed to finish her work, so she would spend time with her child during the day and check on her health, and then work alone at night. He also said that his body was not up to the task. He said that he could take paid holidays, but that would mean less time off when he goes to Japan, so he prefers not to use it as much as possible.

Another friend said she can't take her work home with her, so she takes her vacation with pay. My family has no one to rely on and my work doesn't bring in that much income, so I am a full-time housewife. My friend has a solid career and said that staying at home is not an option. I kind of admire that. I think it's cool.

I am having trouble with a sudden outbreak of a large number of pimples on my nose, mouth, and chin about a month ago.

Does anyone know of a good dermatologist or a clinic that specializes in adult acne? I am in my early 40's and I think it may have something to do with hormones such as menopause.

If anyone has any information, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Good evening.
I suddenly got boils on my legs and I showed my home doctor
a picture of them and he said they were bed bugs.
I was really surprised because it was my first time and I got rid of the bed bug and
it went away immediately with steroid ointment.

It looked like a pimple and it happened so suddenly
I thought maybe it was the same thing.

I searched around and found that they are often found in beds in both Japan and the US, so
be careful.

Thanks for your reply.
Is it a bed bug ! I hadn't thought of that idea. I have an image that bedbugs tend to bite soft parts of the body and if they bite you, they itch enough to scratch you, but I don't itch and I don't see any bite marks on my body. By the way, I also looked at the bed, but could not find any bugs. However, I thought I would try applying the steroid ointment I have once. Thank you for sharing your precious experience.

When I was in my late twenties, I started to get acne around my chin due to hormonal imbalance. ( At that time I was living in Japan and had irregular menstruation and visited a Japanese doctor. ) A hormone test showed a high male hormone level, and the doctor explained to me that when a woman's male hormone level increases, the amount of sebum increases in areas where men grow beards, such as around the chin and mouth, making it easier for acne to appear. After that, I tried various skin care products, but they had no effect at all. When I started taking pills, my acne completely disappeared. I have heard that the pill is not recommended for people in their 40s because the risk of blood clots increases, so I am not sure if the pill would be a good solution for you, sakura. However, since you seem to think that the acne is caused by hormones, I think it would be better to see a gynecologist instead of a dermatologist. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Is it Japan ? U.S.A. ? In Japan, if you are over 40 years old, you will have no job except a cleaning lady, except for a research job with a clear mind.
Those people depend on welfare, so it is hard for common people.

According to information from Japanese broadcasters and producers,
Japanese-language broadcasting is legal in North America ・ and distribution service companies are limited, while other companies are illegal
, Other companies are illegal ( I think they mean Japanese law ).

There was a discussion in another post about the gray area if the server is overseas ( I checked this too, and found information that uploading to the server from Japan is out of compliance with the Japanese copyright law ),
which is a violation of the law. ? I think it is difficult to expect morals from a company that is distributing a Japanese program with a high level of respect for the copyright holder's rights. After all, it is a company that ignores the rights of copyright holders and tries to make money with minimal investment. I understand that you want to watch Japanese popular movies.
Also, there seems to be criticism of Japanese broadcasters who do not allow overseas distribution.
However, the current situation is that there are companies that make money by taking advantage of such feelings of Japanese people overseas,
and then go into hiding when their position becomes unfavorable.

I wonder if each person understands that much before using the company.

Sorry for the length.
