It's a long time ago, but if it's true, it's just like you. I was divorced after 7 years from a one-parent financial support and a lazy husband who thought he would lose money if I moved, well, it was hard after that. If you marry the wrong person and have children, your life is as good as over.
I still get nauseous when I talk. I wish I would die soon. Children miss you no matter what you do to them. Maybe they are even more dependent on being abused. I wish you a new life, though it is hard work.

I too think it is against the rules to speak ill of a mother to her children.　It's morally harassing ！

To add a little to your opinion #11, I'd like to think that a woman's happiness isn't determined by her husband.　I can certainly say from my own experience that a bad partner can get in the way of happiness 😂

I think children always want their mothers to be happy. I think it is from mothers that children learn mental strength.　I hope your children have a future where they don't say that a woman's happiness is determined by her husband.

That's right. Happiness is not up to others, you can grab it as much as you want ？ It's pathetic, it's like other people's help.

I think Spectrum uses the T-Mobile Network.
I think they use the same Network, so it's the same
in terms of ease of use, but if you want to save money, you should
do a lot of research.

I am currently a Spectrum user.

I was a Verizon user, so it's the same antenna
and it's not any different to use.
I like it because it's cheaper than anywhere else. I recommend it.

AT&T is also expensive ！
Spectrum Unlimited data
I think $ 60 for 2 people.
Maybe
because home internet and wifi is also spectrum.
There is a Spectrum store in Ala Moana Center
I think you should meet with them and check the latest information.
You can make reservations online.

In another topic, Manhattan, I
found out how much cheaper and easier to live in Hawaii compared to NY.

A friend of mine moved to Hawaii from NY a few years ago and
said that popular condos with similar location and age
$ 1500 were cheaper than NY. At the time Waikiki $ 2100/NY $ 3600
So it's the same for purchase.
I was really glad
that property tax and HOA were much cheaper in Hawaii than in NY.
Hawaii has a great climate and a lot of Japanese food, so it is really a blessed environment.
Now if only the security situation would improve, I would be able to live in Hawaii with peace of mind.

If you can work in English and work remotely for a local or mainland company, living in Hawaii is not that difficult. It depends on your lifestyle.

#28 H Dear Mr.

I am fully remote from my mainland company, have a modest annual income, and moved to Hawaii from another state with a lower cost of living.

One hassle is that I have to do two state tax returns, one in the state where I work and one in Hawaii.
Even after paying state taxes in two states, Hawaii is more relaxed because the fixed costs are much lower.

If you get a job with a mainland company and live in Hawaii, as Mr. H said, you will have a very comfortable life.
If you are having a hard time living in Hawaii, I recommend you to get a job with a company in the mainland.

I'm on the rich side, but still, one person's power cannot save the whole society.
I think everyone should be paid the same amount of money, whether they are cleaning, caring, major leaguers, or politicians, and I wish society would change so that everyone could be equally rich, but it's difficult because people have "greed" and society is based on power relations.

Hi ！
I am in the exact same situation, I have been in Hawaii for 11 years, my husband is from Boston and has been in Hawaii for 13 years, and we took the Jr. Kinder test last year and were waitlisted.
The first announcement of waitlist was made in early April this year and it did not come back.
I was informed last September that there were only 3 spots available to fill up from 27 Jr. Kinder to 30 kinda nder, and I received an email to reconfirm that I would still be on waitlist even though I had 3 spots. I think that the children who were accepted to Punahou and Iolani Kinder will be added to the waitlist, so there is a big possibility that they will be added to the waitlist after the Punahou and Iolani results (both were last week) and 5/9 is the deadline for enrollment at both schools, but I think the total number of spots will be around 5 spots.
Hanahauwoo Hana Hau'oli is honest on their website that they give preference to those who are working at Legacy or Hana Hau'oli.
Also, the kids who passed Jr. Kinder this year were donating to Hana Hau'oli.
Also, every year, 2 or 3 kids who passed Hana Hau'oli Jr. kinder also apply for deffered admission to Punahouiolani while securing a spot in kinder, and if they don't make it, they enter Hana Hau'oli from kinder.
By the way, there are 37 people on waitlist since last year, and since there are only 3 spots, it will be tough without waitlist connections.

I didn't have to use a lawyer to do it because it was just a simple input.　
It was just this ？ thing.
I think you should do it with your husband, though.
If you are unsure, go to a lawyer!

I also had to start the renewal process from 2 years to 10 years, and initially we were going to do it ourselves, but we decided to ask our lawyer. With the current situation where immigration is becoming stricter, I thought it would be a good idea to have peace of mind in case something should happen to me.

As long as I filled out the form correctly, I think it should be fine. I thought I was supposed to do it myself, so I never thought about hiring a lawyer.

Now that immigration is so strict, I think it would be safer to have a

when you get stuck at the immigration office, rather than just making a mistake at the time of renewal.

Replies.

I think you should only hire a lawyer if you have to wait very long for something to happen or if you are in trouble.

I didn't want people to think that my renewal was so complicated and difficult that I needed a lawyer

I entered everything myself, so I received my renewed green card

twice for 2 years and twice for 10 years, totaling 3 times very quickly.

I tend to receive my green cards in

less time than using an attorney because of the busyness and timing of the attorney I use.

Dear #2 property owner

Thank you for your reply.
I am uninformed and don't understand something, but if the real estate agent intended to make it automatically month-to-month from the beginning, it may be the normal practice to leave the tenant without asking anything about the contract, but I am confused as to the intention of the real estate agent staff in charge to ask us, the tenants, if we want to renew. I am confused because I do not understand the intention of the staff of the real estate company in charge of the lease to ask us, the tenants, if we want to renew the lease. If the tenant responds that they will renew, does that mean that the real estate agent is not obligated to draw up a contract ？?

After the initial contract ends, there is no obligation to sign another contract, as it is automatically renewed. Kanaina's intention was to renew the contract, but she probably forgot to do so, so she was urged by the landlord to do so, or perhaps the current price increase is more advantageous, but she probably talked about renewing the contract again. Kanaina's point of view is that she is paying the real estate agent, but the real estate agent's customer is the landlord （, who receives a management fee ＆, and a contract renewal fee ）.

Isn't there a type of insurance that doesn't have a regular family doctor, a type of insurance that has a set in-network intent ？
My insurance has a family doctor （ family doctor ） who gives me a referral to see a specialist in the network.
If you have a family doctor, you can see him or her. If you have a family doctor, it would be better to ask him or her.
The deductible depends on the type of insurance you have, and how much you have paid or are paying depends on the type of insurance you have.
By the way, I think my insurance was only CO-PAY. When I saw a specialist before, he took x-rays and did some tests
but that's all I paid.

I am seeing a doctor in Kuakini,
#2 Like your doctor, I was referred by my home doctor.
If you go out of network, you may not be able to use your insurance, or if you do, the coverage may be different.

There are various specialties of orthopedics, such as hand, finger, and joint specialists,
and extremity specialists.
Incidentally, I had an x-ray ordered by my doctor,
and was referred to an orthopedic surgeon after seeing the results.

I have never had an MRI, but
at that time I had a CT scan after seeing the x-ray results.
The co-pay for the x-ray was CO-PAY only
The CT was done with contrast, $ I remember paying almost 100.

When I emailed my lawyer when I got my GC because of the email （ from the Consulate General just the other day ） including the increased penalties for the obligation to carry a GC at all times
I'm traveling to Japan in June and have no criminal record so I'm not that concerned about re-entry, but I have some points ？. I heard.
All I had to say about that was have a good trip, so I think I'll be ok. But as a countermeasure, I'm going to carry a printed copy of my lawyer's or Hawaii friend's contact information. That way, even if the worst happens and my cell phone is confiscated, I can still contact them.

Have a great time in Japan!

I used to work at an airport. I have seen many cases, such as being sent to a different room or being refused entry. Among those cases, the most common is that of women entering the country alone. This is because of the recent increase in × spring and × mundane relationships among Japanese women in the U.S. In the past, Japanese were not eligible for this program. In the past, Japanese were not eligible, but I guess the times have changed.

There are people who write "tourist visa OK" on their job ads and recruit waitresses. In fact, there are quite a few people who return to Japan after earning money on a 90-day stay （ mainly working at night ）. Also, they come to see their boyfriends or fiancées, which is also ×. This is because of the fake × marriage.

So I don't know how long you have been getting your green card, but if it is early days, it is best not to move.

First of all, please be careful what you wear. Short skirts, flashy accessories, and heavy makeup are × a no-no. You don't have to explain why. Secondly, don't be too imposing in front of the immigration inspectors. The immigration inspector is a professional who looks at people's eyes and facial expressions. If you look intimidated, you are out. If you are not good at this, it is better to get citizenship instead of coming and going with a green card. You will be anxious and nervous, and the long flight will be a hell of a time, and most importantly, if the examiner says no, you will not be able to enter the country no matter how many lawyers you bring or whatever.

Incidentally, if you have an American passport, the treatment is surprisingly different
. Often it takes less than 10 seconds
to pass through immigration.

Example ）
Examination officer "Hi, where did you stay?"
American citizen "Japan"
Examination officer smiles, stamps your entry and says "Have a nice day"

Green card It's so different from the other room in the

Especially now, with Trump's "America First", it will be more so. In other words, I don't like people who just have a green card and take advantage of the US. There is a problem in Japan with foreigners receiving welfare benefits, isn't there? For America, we want people who can buy gold cards （ 700 million yen ） and people who are rich and positive for America to come here.

At Japanese immigration, they will also stamp your passport only if you wish
(Narita Airport is also ߋ) As of April 2025

If you do not have this stamp in your Japanese passport, you cannot get duty free in Japan.

Please remember to get the stamp when you make purchases over 5,000 yen at places that offer tax exemption.
