＃ 17 Showa Ototto-san

I see that there are places that do commercials on TV.
I did not know that.

Thanks for the information.

Thanks for the follow up question.
It will be helpful for us to consider.

My son is 50 years old, but he was born and raised here.

He has friends in the construction industry, and when we wanted to fix a part of our house,

he would bring someone from that industry to help us.

Also, once when we needed a painter, the house next door had a total exterior paint job done and

the workmanship was so-so that we asked them to do it for us too.

After all, we are afraid to ask a stranger, including Japanese-American relations, if we do not have some kind of reference.

> It's probably because they have the power to advertise on TV.

Not necessarily.
I hear that if they advertise, they charge more for the work they do, and they charge more even if the work is not done properly.

If the quality is good without advertisement like Chateraise, it will be advertised by word of mouth of customers. The price is reasonable because they don't have to pay for advertisement.

I hear that if you pay for advertising, you get a fee on top of that, and even if you do a reasonable job, you get a fee as well.

Whether or not the work is done properly, any advertising costs are ultimately borne by the customer. If it's a huge advertising fee, like putting it on TV, they're probably unknowingly burdened with hundreds or thousands of dollars in advertising fees for remodeling-type jobs with high unit costs. There are a few people like Showa-era ototsuan who don't understand anything and are deceived.

Thank you all. As Baikinman said, I have seen houses nearby that have been constructed and thought they were nice. There was a house in my neighborhood that had been completely renovated, outside and inside, almost everything except the frame.

Even in the middle of construction, until the curtains went in, you could somewhat see the inside from the outside （ and the entrance ＆ from the street side and the living room with kitchen was visible just by walking around normally. ）
Every time I walked past there （ I thought, "The construction company here might be polite. ） I thought to myself.　
Before → After was surprisingly different. （ Including the exterior ）

However, it was a private contractor, or they spent a lot of time.　
It seemed to be a freshly purchased renovation or had a separate residence, so I am sure the long term would not have been a problem.

I sometimes wondered if it would be easy to visit the house and inquire about the construction company if the need arose.
I thought it would be very rude and did not take action.　　I probably won't do it in the future.　

I wish my neighbors would do it ＝.　） I am hoping that the neighbors who have been in contact with us will be able to do it .

According to the City of Honolulu's information,
you must first take a provisional （ paper test ） which will allow you to drive conditionally.
It appears that you can then bring your moped to the Pearl City license center for the test.
So you don't have to push it and take it with you.

There is also an exemption from the practical test.

Moped 50CC and under, or Class 1, doesn't require a license. However, under 50CC, I think you had to take a practical training course.

https://hawaiimoped.com/hawaii-moped-laws/

Is it under 50CC ？ or over 50CC ？ It depends on that.

According to the following, 50cc and under is Class A and does not require a motor cycle license, but does require a driver's license.
https://www.scooterrentalhawaii.com/hawaiian-moped-laws/#:~:text=Class%20A%20Mopeds,need%20a%20valid%20driver's%20license.
Also, #4 quoted that you need a Class 1 license if you just want to get on moped.
If you don't have a license and desire only to drive a moped, a Class 1 license will meet your need.

Overall, to drive a moped only requires a car I think it means that you don't need to get a car license or a motorcycle license to drive a moped, but you do need a Class 1 license.

Mitsui, Sumitomo, Mitsubishi, Meiko, Black Cat, Nittsu,
I believe they are all Bonded Warehouse, so when you get out of the trunk of your car
I would check, call and ask
if you don't believe me.
I think you can buy them cheap here and sell them for more here ？
My mother got the same amount from a second generation guy who used to work for Kleenex, an American company, and he would split the money with her.
Now the paper is so thin that one sniff is not enough. LOL.

This is a case of taking stored goods out of the company's warehouse without permission and reselling them
.
Nowadays, as in the past, there is no such thing.
Employees check the trunk of their cars every day when they leave.
Lunch is also checked 100% of the time when leaving the parking lot. I worked in a logistics
warehouse. I worked in a warehouse in a logistics company, and we had to deal with all sorts of things: SONY, TORAY, Morinaga snacks, Otafuku
and if we were found out, we would be fired.

I am preparing to return home.
I am doing my best with private sales, but can I ask a moving company
to take care of my large household goods ？
for a fee ？ free? Which is it ？
I don't want to get into trouble by asking them, so which moving company do you recommend
that is reliable ？?

I live in Hawaii and am involved with the Hawaiian community. Considering the fact that the US is taking over this beautiful island from the natives, over tourists are polluting the environment, etc., I feel that I should be allowed to enjoy this beautiful island and spend my money in a respectful manner to the Hawaiians and be tolerant 😊.

I need to inflate my car tires more often.

This still leaves several places in Kalakaua and Kapiolani that have been repaired from large holes. Is someone reporting this somewhere?　It would be nice if the government would notice and act quickly.

I have heard from people who have lived in Hawaii for a long time that the land is weak
because there is a lot of reclaimed land in Hawaii.
Also, the material used for paving ！ ？ is different between
Kahala and other areas.
A person who used to work for the state also said so.

It is true that it is not good to talk about your husband only on speculation. For example, it is not impossible that he had a mental illness because of his treatment of his vain wife and children. We don't know what happened to others, so we have to leave it to the police. Of course, the basic premise is that forcible mind-control is not acceptable, not even for the final shodan. It is certain that people who do this kind of thing are not in a proper state of mind, so if possible, you should have divorced quickly before that happens.
Or, they should have just run away from the debt.
The lender is wrong and should accept the risk.
I wonder if Hawaii has a bailout system like Japan, such as bankruptcy. If so, it is not a good place.

No one really knows
"Even if she was a vain and spendthrift wife,"
and
"it's not impossible that she had a mental illness because of the way she treated her vain wife and children,"
and
"I can't help thinking that if she had lived up to her financial resources
and
"Why didn't they live up to their income?"
and 、、、、

How can you judge us as if you knew everything about our family? ？

It looks like you are pretending to have sympathy for them ？
You need to be more thoughtful since someone has died ？.

#11 Alright Mr.

I don't want this tragedy to happen again because it's too sad

Everyone please be careful. And I think everyone is seriously messaging here. If you had the happiest family, this tragedy would not have happened.

Maybe we will be next.

If someone thinks that we might be next, it will help this forum if it leads to immediate action such as separation or divorce.

Please take it more seriously and seriously.

This is not a random rumor at all ！ ！ This is a message of prevention to save lives.

This incident should be an opportunity for you to learn to spend more time with your children, more time talking to each other

and more.

It has been a long time ago, but myself and my daughter have been under the care of her husband's treatment, and his wife was working at the reception desk with their son, who was still small, as I recall. We are just shocked at this tragedy. I remember that the wife was a cheerful person and the doctor was very kind in the way he performed the procedure and spoke to her.
I don't want to tell you more than that from my imagination. Of course she was not in a normal state of mind, but I just feel so sorry for the three children who were taken away from her. As someone who knew him more or less before his death, I pray for the souls of all the family members who lost their lives.
