Hello !
I am a 30s housewife !
My husband is working alone in Hawaii
and I came to visit from Japan with my
child (2 years old)
My husband's friend invited us to go to Kualoa Lunch and we are going in his car. I was going to take my friend's car, but,
I don't have a car seat ! ! ! 😭
The date of use is all day 1/10/2012.
If anyone here has a car seat
that you can lend us
we would appreciate it if you could contact us.
Sorry for the short notice, but,
thank you in advance 🙇🙇🙇.

Last week a friend of mine was in the exact same situation, he said he would buy it at Walmart for $58 and bring it back to Japan and sell it on Mercari. lol
He is also 2 years old and a booster seat is too small and illegal, so he still needs a car seat, and the cheapest car seat at Walmart is $ The cheapest car seat at Walmart was 57-58 ! He said he could sell it for a lot of money in Japan and that he would take it home with him even though it would be luggage.

As a postscript,
If your husband lives alone in Hawaii, he will definitely need it when he comes back $ so I think it would be a good idea to buy it at Walmart at 58 and keep it.

Did you find someone who can lend you a car seat ?
$ I found one at Walmart It's a COSCO brand car seat, right? I bought a spare COSCO car seat for my child for when he/she is picked up in a friend's car, or vice versa, or when a friend is picked up in our car. It is lightweight, so I can pull my child by the hand with one hand and carry it with the other hand, and it is very convenient. You may need it when you come back to Hawaii in the future, so why don't you buy one for Hawaii and keep it in your husband's room?

How do you manage your money as a couple ?

We used to leave it solely to my husband.
I would like to clarify the holding of assets now, but I don't know what to say.
(When I had a fight with my husband the other day, he told me that the money was his ! and I don't know what to say. There was some momentum from the fight, but my husband almost seemed to think that

Managing money as a couple

Uber Delivery is a service that allows you to, for example, go to the post office, pay for the postage and drop it off, or go to the library and check out a book.

Did you get pregnant and use temporary disability insurance TDI ??

Hello ! I am pregnant. !
I have been researching insurance from the state of Hawaii for my pregnancy, but I haven't heard of anyone who has taken it,
so I would like to hear from older moms and everyone who is currently pregnant.
I would really appreciate it if you could tell me how and when the paperwork is issued, whether you retired or not, etc. … I would really appreciate it if you could tell me about it.

[TDI details below]
Temporary Disability Insurance ( Temporary Disability Insurance : TDI

In Hawaii, non-occupational illness or injury ( pregnancy ・ including childbirth ) TDI ( Temporary Disability Insurance ) exists to supplement a portion of your wages if you are unable to work due to

pregnancy ・ for the period you are unable to work during childbirth, TDI may be available to receive a percentage of your wages for the period you are unable to work during childbirth.

However, there are some caveats :
• TDI covers illness ・ injury ・ non-occupational disability, including pregnancy, while accidents at work ・ injuries, etc. are covered by workers' compensation ( workers ' compensation ) may be covered, and therefore treated differently. 
• TDI may not be covered if the employer does not offer the plan / and the requirements are not met. 
• TDI does not automatically provide employment security ( or the right to retain your job ). In other words, there may be no institutional guarantee that you will always retain your former job after a leave of absence using TDI.

TDI Used.
My memory is fading, but before the birth, ask your employer to prepare the forms for you to submit. The subsidy is for 4 weeks for a normal delivery and 6 weeks for a cesarean section. The amount of the subsidy is better than nothing, and it is about 70% or 80% of one month's salary, I think ?. I remember that it was after the delivery, not during the pregnancy, but after the delivery.
The maternity leave system varies from company to company, so I think it would be a good idea to discuss things with the company.

I have grandchildren now, so this is a long time ago, but I used TDI because my pregnancy was not progressing well and I was unable to work. My husband also used TDI to take care of me. He and his wife both took a leave of absence until they used up their TDI, I retired at the end of my TDI, and my husband returned to his former job. It helped me during my pregnancy, but I had an emergency C-section, so it really helped to have my husband there after the birth.

I recently used TDI.
I have my employer, nurse and doctor fill out the form as well. The nurse told me that if I didn't work until 38 weeks, I should work until 38 weeks, even if I had to reduce my hours just in case, because there have been cases where I was turned down.
Of course, if you have an emergency delivery before then, you will be paid for 6-8 weeks from then on. After the birth, if there was a problem, it could have been extended further.
The amount depends on your income, but I believe the weekly limit was about $ 800.
I think you had to have been working in Hawaii for a few months before submitting the application, and you had to be working at least 20 hours per week.
If it is a large company with a large number of people, I think they may have their own benefits as well.

Please take care of yourself during your pregnancy.

I have been in LA for 2 years now, and the car I bought when I got there is now 2 years old, and I have driven it about 25,000 miles in 2 years, with 110,000 miles on it. I am thinking that I should do some maintenance like a Japanese car inspection. Do you know of any company that does inspections and maintenance like a Japanese car inspection?
I'm looking for an area around Torrance or Manhattan Beach. Thank you in advance.

I will be moving from LA to north Dallas this summer. I am posting this to see if anyone who knows anything can give me some advice.
We are moving with our family using U hall, so it will be 2 nights 3 days or 3 nights 4 days.
We will be leaving LA around 10am and staying in Phoenix the first day, but what city would be ideal to stay in after that? We are planning to stay at motel 6 and not include sightseeing, but if you have any recommendations for restaurants along the way, that would be great too.
Thank you in advance.

A few years ago, I rented a truck by myself and came to Dallas from LA for 4 days and 3 nights, I took the 40, on the way I came from Albuquerque via Roswell, famous for UFOs, the country road to Roswell was more expansive and American than the 40, the last night I stayed near Dallas, because I wanted to get my stuff in in the morning. The last night was near Dallas, because we wanted to arrive in the morning and bring in our luggage.
We were a little nervous because we did not know when there would be gas stations on the country roads on the way, but we had a good time without any problems.

Thanks for the info.
We have plenty of time to spare, but I'm thinking 3 nights is good, with an emphasis on moving rather than sightseeing, driving 5 to 7 hours a day. We are still working on the route, but I will also have a container of gasoline ready just in case.

From LA, it is better to leave in the morning when the sun is fully up, since the road goes east. The sunrise is quite dazzling. Motel 6 has a microwave oven in the room. Try not to eat too much dinner, etc. and take the rest home with you.  
If you pitch in early and swim in the pool, you will sleep well at night.  Snacks to pass the boredom should be well chewed. It will wake you up.  Japanese snacks are not easy to buy along the way, so bring extra.

A friend of my wife's stayed at a hotel on the way to move from California to Texas. A private U-Haul towed was stolen from the hotel parking lot while he was staying there
He said this is a common occurrence around Texas. Minimum security awareness such as security camera locations and handle locks may be necessary.

I have been with Tokio Marine Insurance, but I am looking for an insurance company because they are discontinuing personal insurance. My agent has referred me to three companies, Commerce West Insurance, Mapfre Insurance, and Mercury Insurance, but I am not sure who is better. If anyone who is familiar with the industry can give me some advice, I would appreciate it.

* Not an industry expert * but I am a member of AAA Insurance.

I've had a few bumps and bruises and have had no problems.

The AAA office near my house has a Japanese speaking agent, but his Japanese is terrible.

So I asked them to replace him with someone who speaks only English. Well, I had to ask a random person

because AAA doesn't allow you to choose who is in charge.

I chose an agent who could speak Japanese
for my health insurance, Medical Insurance, or something like that because I thought there would be no problem, but he seemed to be Japanese-American and I could not understand what he was saying
in Japanese at all. I had no choice but to switch to an English only agent and everything went smoothly.

I gave it to you even though I hadn't finished writing it. I'm sorry.

Why do you bother going through an agency? ? I think it is usually cheaper to submit your own quotes to each company.

In the event of an accident, an agency is useless, so I don't need one.

I didn't have to use a lawyer to do it because it was just a simple input.

I think you should do it with your husband, though.

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.
I did it with no problem, checking with my husband.

Now that immigration is so strict, I think it would be safer to have a
lawyer
when you get stuck at the immigration office, rather than just making a mistake at the time of renewal.

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.

About living in Hawaii. I have a question for those who live or have lived in Hawaii. In comparing life in Hawaii and Japan, what do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of Hawaii over Japan, and what do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of Japan over Hawaii ? Would you like to live in Hawaii again ? If you currently live in Hawaii, would you like to stay in Hawaii or return to Japan? If you live in Hawaii now, do you want to live in Hawaii forever?

I know a woman (in her 50s) who works from early morning to late at night, and she said she can barely pay her rent and eat. I asked her if she was not better off going back to her parents' house in Japan and working part time ?. She replied, "I want to marry you, but most middle-aged Japanese men are bald and not very cool, but there are middle-aged men here who are cool and have a lot of hair. I wanted to advise her that these men with fluffy hair would be looking for young attractive women, not old ladies like you, but I decided not to. There seem to be a lot of middle-aged Japanese women in Hawaii who are just too good to be true.

I think Hawaii is the worst right now
Prices are too high and there are many homeless people. The number of Japanese and tourists has decreased a lot. Ten years ago, even though prices were relatively high, it was not a cosmopolitan island. Even for ordinary people. I am honestly worried about what will happen in the future.

I think there are men and women like that everywhere, not just in Hawaii.
In the end, people with the same vibrations are attracted to each other, so there are people who can marry and have
partners no matter where they go.
I think the key is being able to read the atmosphere.

There are many attractive people in Hawaii, both men and women, who have been married more than once.

Men and women are not only good looking, but especially in Hawaii, those who can afford it
will be in great demand.
If you get a job that pays well, you might be popular.
