Mr. Ginger

both sides of your house... That is painful. My friend has experienced other drugs as a teenager and insists that marijuana is not a drug. I try not to expand the conversation with marijuana users because it is troublesome to argue with them about marijuana, but it is possible that they do other drugs from time to time. It's time to move away and find new friends.

I was a little curious about the church. I wonder if it would be rude for me, a non-Christian, to go there ？
I have stayed with a family with strong religious beliefs, so I am worried that it would be rude.

That smell, it's so nasally.
I'm still ok with the smell coming from outside. It's time to review our friendships.

Exactly the same.
I have two daughters around their age, and this spring break, I'm getting a headache from the smell, probably from the ventilation system.

I don't know what to do.

Mele,

Non-Christians are welcome to come too. It's not rude at all.
You are more than welcome.

Especially this Sunday the 31st is Easter. I would like you to know about Easter

You write that you have a problem with bus drivers letting homeless people on the bus, but
you can't refuse them ？ the person to whom the driver himself can say don't get on or get off at his own discretion is drinking,
or someone with a bottle of alcohol, or someone who is making noise or fighting or acting up with anyone And so on. I can't tell them not to get on just because they are homeless.
The driver doesn't have the authority to refuse you a ride just because he doesn't like you.

I am a homeowner myself, but I don't understand what Jack is talking about at all. lol
I think everyone has their own circumstances and opinions, and I am sure everyone uses the bus.
I am mainly taking my kids to and from school, so my car is the only way to get around, but my kids want to ride the bus
just for fun ？ I'm thinking about taking the bus with them when I get the chance. ddmm808, your son is using the bus for the environment, and I think that's wonderful.
I am sure there are many people who choose public transportation for that reason.

Mr. Jack, what everyone is upset about is your Itsukpou-like judgment and over-the-top attitude. I'll list them here in bullet points since you don't seem to have noticed them.
1. It is the driver's fault for letting a homeless person on the bus
The State of Hawaii, by US law, discriminates on the basis of race, equality in all things
and public transportation allows people to ride the bus except those who would harm them. Drivers cannot refuse you because you are homeless.
I personally sympathize with some ex-servicemen who have become homeless because of the trauma of past wars.
2. You can't ask a bus rider not to come to your house or
not to sit on the bus.
Maybe it's time to publicly tell bus riders who visit your house that you are afraid of Non welcome Coronas.
Jack, it is your home, your castle, so please make yourself comfortable and stress free.
3. When you become a home owner, you will understand.
It doesn't matter if you are a homeowner or a renter, there is only a difference between Mortgage and Rent ｡
I am a homeowner too, but I have friends who gave up their own cars and come to visit me by bus. I am so thankful to them for coming by bus and I make them a cup of cold barley tea with all my heart. Corona is airborne and not yet 100% understood. We cannot say that you are infected on the bus. You can get it in spas, spas, schools, workplaces, everywhere.
I can understand why you are getting angry at the offensive remarks you have been making lately.

I thought that because I visited you on the bus that you had to sit in the garage instead of in the house. I would be more saddened and angry if the comments here were different from the actual situation. They usually let me in the house.

Park and go near the consulate versus the amount you pay at the notary public.
You should consider which is cheaper.

Last year I changed from uion bank to us bank, so I wrote and submitted my new us bank account

> Park and go near the consulate versus the amount you pay at the notary public. You should consider which is cheaper.

Showa Otouta-san has a Japanese passport, so he can prove his survival at the consulate.
Baikinman can't prove his existence at the consulate because he has already returned his Japanese passport.

Use your head and understand the difference.

If you also return your Japanese passport and clear your mind, you don't need a notary or consulate like Mr. Baijinman, you can prove your survival just by showing your electric bill.

You should consider which is cheaper.

Maki, thank you very much for the useful information. I didn't know that there was an option to call home, so this was very helpful. It is really helpful that you wrote down the specifics … such as camera installation, market rates, and how often to call a cat sitter. I see that the pet hotel is in a cage. I didn't know much about the actual situation and didn't know that it could be a bad place for cats. Thank you for telling us.
I really appreciate that Maki, who actually had a cat, told us in detail how she did it when she went back to Japan temporarily. It gave me a concrete image of what to prepare and research, and was very helpful. Thank you so much ！

Hello, I am a grandmother in my 70's and have been unable to work for a long time due to health problems. I see that there is such a thing as cat-sitting. I can drive and it wouldn't take much physical strength. I've never had a cat but I don't dislike cats, so I would like to do it for about 1 ～ 2 hours for a Japanese family. I'm glad I found your article very informative. I wrote to thank you for your help.

Hi, I have a cat that I brought from Japan.
I leave him at my friend's house when I travel or go back to Japan temporarily. When my friend is traveling, I take care of my friend's cat. I don't receive any fee from my friend because we both have the same cat. We only exchange souvenirs.
If you are traveling for 2 nights, you can leave your cat at home if you prepare more water and food, and if possible, two toilets.

When leaving your cat at a friend's house, you need to be careful that
① the cat is spayed or neutered （ cats have a 100% pregnancy rate after mating ）
② you also bring a toilet （ that has your scent on it
③ Have your nails clipped （ It's quite scary to clip someone else's cat's nails ）
④ Have a room or cage where your friend's cat can be alone and safe for the first few days.
A collapsible cloth gauge called a pet tent is useful.

Also, it is important that the cats are compatible with each other.
If the owner agrees, you can leave the cat with the owner for a few days as a trial to see if they are compatible.
However, they will probably be intimidated for the first few days, but you may be able to see if they are just playing with each other or if they are fighting so hard that they could injure each other.

Cat sitting is great to have a familiar home environment, but
if you ask for about an hour a day, the other 23 hours may be lonely because of the solitude.
We have heard stories of people who have become so lonely that they have started roughhousing in bed during readable trips.

Leaving her at a friend's house is not without stress ・ ・ ・

I hope you can find a cat friend near you ＾ ＾
I live in Foster City. I live in Foster City, but if you're nearby, I can take care of him for you.

By the way, townhouses have stairs, so it's a good environment for cats to get up and down exercise.

Charles, thank you very much for your very detailed information on leaving your friend at home. It was really helpful for you to write down exactly what to be careful of and what to prepare. Thank you also for your kindness to offer to take care of our child for 2 nights ！
We will not ask you to do so because we are a little far away, but we are very happy that you are kind enough to offer to take care of him for us! I am very glad to hear your kind offer to keep the cat. I didn't know that townhouses have stairs and are a good environment for cats, so it made me feel very comfortable to pick up a cat. Thank you very much for everything ！.

I am with StateFarm.
With the discount combined with Renter's Insurance and the discount for participating in a program to monitor my driving
$ 350 / 6 mos. I no longer get quotes from several companies, so it's hard to say if it's cheaper or more expensive.
Also, the type of car ・ the age of the car, how long it has been licensed, driving history, etc. will change the premium. I drive a car that is 11 years old. I have been driving for 15 years in total since I got my license, but my license was revoked once due to visa reasons, so that may have an effect ？.
No history of accidents ・ No violations.

Fortunately, I have never been in an accident, so I have never felt grateful for insurance, but
I have heard that Hawaii has a lot of cars with minimal or no insurance, so it is good to have good coverage in case you get hit.

Silver Sneakers and Silver ＆ Fit are not gyms, they are Insurance programs.

＞ I'm a senior citizen, but I'm not a "senior citizen" and I joined LA Fitness a few years ago.

LA Fitness also has a senior-friendly cardio/strength ・ class that is not muscle-building oriented and I prefer to take this class. I can keep up with most of the action. However, I have no sense of dance at all, so some of the moves are not in rhythm for a minute.

This class meets twice a week and there is also a yoga class, but it is late in the afternoon and not convenient for me, so I have only attended one class. The yoga class is good, too.


＞ I would be happy to know which gyms you have franchised across the US if possible

Is that because you travel a lot in Japan? I've been retired for over 10 years now, and of course I never travel far from this town, so my current LA Fitness, which is 5 minutes away if there is no traffic light, is all I need.

I think the mites Lucky is referring to are
bed bugs.

Powder is diatomaceous earth, in English Diatomaceous earth
can be purchased at home improvement stores.

I have also purchased
this seems to work for mites.
However, mite allergy causes allergy to dead mites, and
I am also allergic to pollen, so the powder made my cough and sneeze worse, so please be careful if you try it.

I have never hired a professional to clean my air conditioner, but I do clean the filter once a week.

I'm commenting because when my second son was little, he had a tick allergy that was just awful and very annoying, so I thought it might be helpful to combine it with my own experience.

When I was staying with a homestay family in CA, I was bitten by insects every night while I slept and it itched like crazy, but that was because the fleas that were parasitic on my pets were breeding in my bed.
By the way, the bite was small, red and swollen, and the itch and the mark did not disappear for several weeks.
I have also been bitten by padworms （ and bed bugs ） but these are much larger than flea bites and are quite red and swollen and very itchy after a plumping sting.
Neither of these stings ever went away, the itching disappearing in half a day.

In my second son's case, the ticks did not itch （ but rather seemed to react by entering his body through his mouth or nose with the dead bodies ） rather than stinging him, and he suffered from extreme sneezing and congestion.
I bought a Dyson vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter and carefully vacuumed the bed and carpets daily. I also covered the mattress with a waterproof ＆ tick prevention cover. This alone seems to make a big difference.
We also changed the pillows to plastic ones like buckwheat hulls （ and the pillows seem to be quite important ）, and we washed and sunbathed stuffed toys and other items in the room that might harbor ticks once before packing them in plastic bags for storage.

As for the air conditioner filter, I think you can do it yourself if you just wash it lightly （ My husband does it once every few months ）, if you want deep cleaning, it might be safer to ask a contractor.
When our family just recently got an estimate, I remember being told that it would be about $100-$150 ？ per machine.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It was very helpful. I have a new mattress with an anti-allergy cover and a tarp over it, and I will consider a Dyson vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter ！
Regarding the air conditioner, if you don't mind, could you please tell me which company you contacted ？ I contacted two of them. I have also contacted two companies, but they replied that they are not doing it now and I am having trouble.

The air conditioner cleaning company I contacted is a regular electrician （ who also installs air conditioners and apparently offers cleaning services along the way ）. However, I asked this company to repair my air conditioner and they were so sloppy that I will never ask them again. If you must know, I will let you know via direct message. I just did a quick internet search and found a review of a company called Standard Cleaning who cleaned my air conditioner. I've never used them, so I don't know what kind of company they are, but their reviews on Yelp seem to be very good.
