Have you tried contacting Jiffy Lube ？

I think you should call and check before you go.

If your timing is good, there is a discount coupon for oil change

online. I showed them the scrip and they gave me a discount.

It is cheaper than the dealer and I have had no problems so far.

If you search on Facebook CLASSIFIED, you will find a variety of used toilets. Why don't you contact one of these and check them out?

Can't you find a substitute item in the U.S.?

Sometimes you can find Japanese products on Amazon by changing their names to English.

Small hair dryers, electric kettles, etc. may be worth sending, but refrigerators, washer/dryers, and other so-called "shiro mono" appliances are too large and heavy to be worth the trouble of sending from Japan.

＞ I heard that it costs about 25,000 yen per box from Kuroneko Yamato, so it is faster to buy something similar in the US

You are right. And since the power supply voltage here is 120V while in Japan it is 100V, it is very dangerous to use hair dryers and other products that convert electrical energy into heat. However, if you buy a transformer, it will be much more expensive, and the transformers available here do not meet the U.S. safety standards, so it is dangerous to use them.

We buy Zojirushi electric kettles and TOTO washlet adapted for the US market from US Amazon. But if Japanese parents or friends send appliances, we have to accept them. Either way, shipping fees across the ocean are probably quite expensive by any means nowadays. Sorry this is not the answer you want, but it is not the key.

You don't have to buy the goods and send them to us
Please send us the amount of the goods you will buy and send to us.
I will buy goods sold in the U.S.A.

If the product breaks, the repair is rounded off with

He's talking about voltage again
and he's talking about 30 year old common sense
He's always talking about electrical products, using his old knowledge
Why does the old man only think about household electrical products ？
He can think about recording studio equipment and all kinds of other things!

Since Topy hasn't written what kind of product it is,

it's not too late to ask Topy what kind of appliance it is first and then write it down. From the flow of the writing, Topi may not write anymore.

After having an exam at wellness4hawaii, I filed a claim with KP and it was covered in full. I wonder if it depends on the insurance company's policy or the contents of the policy rather than which laboratory is used.

Topi-san I think it is not HSMA but HMSA ？

Like Koji-san, I think it would be faster to ask HMSA.

By the way, I live in Hawaii, so I was able to get a free PCR test from NomiHealth and return to Japan with a negative MYSOS certificate.

I will answer your question
because you can get a double benefit from the Japanese pension and the U.S. Social Security.

It is possible to receive both a Japanese pension and Social Security without being a US citizen, so I don't think the answer to #8 is necessarily on target. If your primary residence is in the U.S. and the majority of your income is from the U.S., then U.S. citizenship is more financially advantageous. （ Especially when an inheritance occurs ）.

I have a question ！

How many years of service in Japan and the U.S. will I be able to receive a pension and Social Security ？

How many months in advance can I apply to renew my Japanese passport? ？

I would be very grateful if you could let me know.

Please let me know.

Since you mention "work," I will answer about the general salaried employee's pension and Social Security. For both, you need to have at least 10 years of service (40 credits for SS) to be eligible for benefits. Please contact the pension office to calculate the specific amount for both pensions.

I stopped using Listerine or something like that because they said it kills the indigenous bacteria too, which is not good. They said salt is fine.

＞ Do they also kill indigenous bacteria

What bad things happen in the mouth when indigenous bacteria die? What good do these bacteria

do in the mouth in the first place?

Rather than that, you should use gargle including LISTERINE ® to clean your mouth and get rid of bad odor.

Dental problems such as tooth decay and bad breath are not only caused by food debris that accumulates between the teeth, but also by debris that remains between the teeth and gums, which cannot be removed by brushing and permanently remain in the hot and humid environment of the mouth, causing a bad odor.

The debris that accumulates between the teeth can be removed with Dental Floss. Dental Floss can also be used to remove debris from between teeth, but as many of you may already know, Waterpik water spray can also be used to remove debris from between teeth and between teeth and gums.

Of course, it is important to tell the supervisor what is wrong.
So many bosses go through with it or don't bother to make improvements. I always think to myself when I look at job ads that there is no such idea to discuss with everyone and that's why people keep changing jobs so rapidly and time and effort are still being wasted.

Promising new hires are the ones who suggest good things as they go along.

That's why they were hired with a promising future.

The newcomer will overtake you because you are working for the right people.
