I use a rotary composting system, but the food scraps fill up quickly, so I bury them in the soil in my backyard.
It seems to take about 3 months to complete composting. I don't put all my food scraps in the garbage, so it fills up quickly, but other houses may not accumulate that much food scraps. I have peach, citrus, and other fruit trees at home, so I dig holes around them and bury them. The compost has a partition in the center, and there are two rooms, one for food scraps and the other for composting in progress, and it is rotated daily to circulate oxygen, but it generates flies, so now I bury it directly in the soil and let the worms break it down for fertilizer.

Thanks Sunshine ！ I knew it was worm ！ ！

I've been looking into this but we have limited space for a field and I was thinking it would be difficult to make a compost section in addition, but I just saw on Instagram I just found out on Instagram that Dollar Tree has a wire trash can that you can bury in the soil and put cardboard pieces and food scraps in it.

At least it doesn't cost much, so I'll give it a try ！

I see the rotary one has two layers ！ I still think burying it in the dirt might be better for me, since I don't want flies coming in.

I don't want to put it under the eaves because I have to keep it out of the rain after all, like cardboard composting 😓

Fortunately, we have worms in our small field, so I'll ask them to move out a bit from there.

I don't know why on instagram or youtube people post how they do it, but there is so little explanation of what to do and when to do it afterwards that it's hard for the layman to understand.

I have been thinking that it is a waste to throw away the banana peels and the outside of the cabbage (I always throw away 1-2 pieces) after my children eat them every day, but it is very hard to compost them.

I will look into it more ！.

I use a shovel to dig and bury a circle over 20 cm in diameter.
If I cover them with enough soil to hide the garbage and leave them alone, they will decompose before I know it, so I don't even use a box. Shells do not attract flies or insects, so even if you leave them unburied, they will eventually break apart and become fertilizer nutrients, although it will take some time in the sunlight.
All you need is a shovel and some soil, so it is economical, and the soil will become soft, so it can be used to improve the soil.

I bought a wire trash can today because I saw on instagram that if you dig a hole in a field and bury a Dollar Tree wire trash can 🗑️ and put chopped cardboard, soil and fallen leaves in it and put banana peels or something in it and cover it with soil or a lid it will become a worm compost. I bought a cover for a microwave dish because it was the perfect size for it.

I didn't cook today and ate out, so I don't have any garbage, but tomorrow morning I want to dig a hole and bury the garbage directly in the garbage can and for the garbage can.

I was wondering if I should buy a wire trash can from Amazon ＄ I'm glad I did for a little over 1. I guess the wisdom of people who are used to it is amazing in any field.

My friend and I are going to meet up with friends in Japan for a petit trip destination. Our family of three will be traveling around by rental car. My friend is traveling by train with her two children. I was asked to give her a ride on the way, but what about the cost of the rental car and gas? ？ I haven't replied, because I don't know what kind of car the rental car will be. My friend here is a bit stingy and would never tell me himself that he would pay for it. We have never offered to pay for gas or anything.
I'm a bit bothered by the fact that I have to pay for the car, take the risk of accidents, and drive the car. I think it's normal to split everything in this kind of situation, but I can't ask someone who didn't offer to pay for it … I know some people say it's worse not to tell, but isn't it usually worse not to pay ？?

Thank you Stress Free and Safe Driving. Today, I was feeling a bit sad, so I got up the courage to call him and tell him that I want to pay for the rental car and gasoline on a pro-rated basis, and he replied that he still couldn't go. I felt somewhat refreshed. I was sad to think that he always wants to go with me because he can pay me, but now I can put my mind at ease and keep my distance from him.
I always picked him up when we went to the park or went out to eat, but I guess I was just a handyman. Thank you for listening to my complaints.

It has nothing to do with the elderly, but when I was a kid, which was about 10 years after the end of the war, model trains were very popular.

They were what we would call O-gauge now, with three rails, and my parents had a model shop (now a dead word, too?) where they sold them with freight cars. \My parents bought me one model of a freight car at a model shop.

I was so happy with it that I would 'just' roll it around on the table or on my desk.

I woke up in the morning and as I was walking to the bathroom I was struck with vertigo.
I feel wobbly and the scenery around me is moving and I feel unbalanced.
Last night, feeling tired, I ate something sweet and stayed up late even though I was sleepy, and when I went to bed around 2 am, I felt dizzy and went to bed thinking I must be tired. When I woke up this morning and got up, I felt the same and the scenery around me was moving, I am worried.
I looked it up and found that I have eye fatigue, earaches, etc....
If anyone has any experience with this or has been to a hospital, I would be very grateful if you could tell me what to do. Thank you for this opportunity.

#1039 Bono-chan

Is it the so-called "dizziness"?

Since you wrote in the "Elderly" topic, I assume that "Bono-chan" is an elderly person. I will reply as far as I know.

Do you usually eat nutritious food? Do you eat a lot of vegetable salads?

Please make sure you get a good night's sleep, as lack of sleep can affect your body's condition. If you "stay up late," you need to change that habit. This may be the toughest part.

It's a common recommendation, but lead a "regular" life.

If you don't have solid health insurance, take even more care of yourself.

Living a disorderly life far from Japan, without insurance, can be fatal.

I am sorry for saying such a thing.

I am the mother of a child who graduated from Punahou in Class 23.
We also had our child attend another private elementary school and started at Punahou in 7th grade.
As others have said, the genuine Punahou kids from Kinder were outstanding in both family wealth and academic ability.
My son also started in the middle and tried his best, but Punahou was very competitive and could not keep up with the Punahou kids academically. Now I think it is important to have a "foundation" from early childhood.

As for universities, most of the famous universities in the Mainland, such as the Ivy League, have many students from Kinder going there. The reason is largely economic. The annual tuition at Ivy, a famous school on the East Coast, is over 10 million Japanese yen, and over 40 million yen for 4 years, plus living, living, and social expenses. It is not very much, but only wealthy and rich families can afford to send their children to Ivy School. Since many Kinder families are doctors, many of their children will go to medical school afterwards, so they must be very rich.

The reason why many students go to college in UH and California is because California and Washington State have residency discounts that are available to people from Hawaii.
Most of my kids' friends who started at Middle also went to those eligible colleges. Some of the gifted and prodigious kids got scholarships and went to Ivies, but it's rare. Some kids have no choice but to choose UH for financial reasons.
I have heard that Iolani School is now 90% Asian, and as a result, more students go to UH than to Punahou for economic reasons.
UH is not ranked as a university, but it is a good place to study, and some kids who go to medical school afterwards choose to go to college with a plan to lower their college costs and save for medical school, which can be very expensive. Also, Japanese, we also took Japanese in Punahou and are able to read and write Kanji to some extent. Conversation is fine.
I think that individual motivation makes a big difference in both university entrance and Japanese language.
But I can clearly say that the Punahou education was very respectful of the individual, gave them confidence, and taught and nurtured their communication skills and emotional management ！ They were taught at a very high level in their studies, and were given diverse experiences in music, technology, art, sports, and more, Punahou has taught me to study at a very high level, to experience music, technology, art, sports, and many other things, but it has also nurtured my fundamentals as a human being. I have nothing but gratitude for Punahou. If I could go back in time, I would have saved up a lot of money when I was younger to send my children to Punahou from Kinder ！.

Mother of class23 ！ I was very interested to hear the detailed story from a recent Punahou graduate with a child ！
The importance of the early childhood foundation, the reason why many students go to UH, the state of the Japanese language level. It all made sense to me. It is true that the price of university is different depending on whether you live in the university of your choice or not. I had forgotten that in Japan we don't have to worry about such things.
Medical school is even more expensive, unless you have a real
family with money coming in like a spring.

Hello. My child graduated from Public's Elementary this past May.
I really wanted to start 6th grade at Punahou this August, and was going to take the middle （ and 6th grade ） SSAT last November, but I could not reach the SSAT passing line
to get into Punahou, and the tutor and tutors told me that there was almost no chance of getting in even if I took the SSAT. I was told by the tutor and tutors that I would have no chance of passing the SSAT even if I took the test, so I will continue to prepare for the SSAT this year by sending 6grade to another private school for one year
and will take the 7th grade entrance exam this November.

My son has been the top student at Public since the 2nd grade, and his teachers have repeatedly suggested that he attend Private, and he has attended TUtor and cram school since the 3rd grade, but
even with the top Public scores, he could not catch up to Punahou's acceptance line.
I tried my best, but it is a really tough passing line.

I am working hard with my son, dreaming of being able to attend Punahou this time next year. We have a family like this. lol

Tomo Thank you for your comment ！
I knew that it is also difficult to reach the level of Punahou's examination even if you have a tutor, even if you get an advice from a teacher at Pavlik School Top. Fear not, Punahou. I'm sure your child was frustrated, but it's wonderful that he is willing to try again. I really appreciate all the comments from different people.

Hi, I am taking the middle exam this year and waiting for the announcement. I am taking the middle exam this year and waiting for the announcement.
We live near the Punahou campus, and I am always amazed at the number of cars that parents drive to and from school （ lol ）
It is amazing how many Porsches there are in Honolulu. Not only Porsches, but also Bentleys, Maseratis, and Ferraris are seen picking up and dropping off passengers.
Mercedes, Lexus, Audis, BMWs, and Teslas are seen countless times.
Especially, we are near the entrance and exit of Kinder ＆ Elementary.

We are trying from the middle, so I am relieved that the kids who entered from the middle don't seem to be such rich kids. Anyway, it is still the same as Keio in Japan.
Anyway, it is the same as Keio in Japan, with the kindergarten graduates and the commoners who enter from the middle.
However, Punahou has very good kinder graduates, and I heard that only kinder graduates go to IVY, Stanford, MIT, etc.
We tried from the middle （ We have not even been accepted yet. I have not even been accepted yet.... ） I am not sure if I will be able to keep up with the brains of the kinder kids at Punahou, but my child herself has said she wants to go to Punahou ！ and I am praying every day that she will be accepted. It's a long time until the acceptance announcement. 、、、、、、、、

＞ Main features of ADUs
＞ Complete independence: independent living, sleeping, cooking and sanitary facilities.
＞ Types:Can be a freestanding home (backyard cottage)}, a connected home (addition)}, or a remodeled space (basement/ ＞ garage conversion)}.
＞ Use ： as a family, caregiver, or rental home.

At any rate, if people are going to cook *do laundry* *stay overnight* in the space, the City of Los Angeles area has very strict city regulations and the law is that you cannot live in that shed unless it passes a city audit.

Near a friend's house about a 10 minute drive from mine in the City of LA, the resident there is a competent carpenter who built a cottage in his backyard and someone was living in the shed. But there was a mean-spirited resident in the neighborhood who tipped off the city that the shed was against city ordinances.

Then the city inspector came and said, "This shack has not passed the city audit," and we had to tear it down for crying out loud.

My neighbors also seem to keep their garage doors closed and use that space as a Living/Bed Room. I don't mind that at all.

ADUs don't have bathrooms ？ Then why did everyone say it was better to find an ADU to live in? But it was built without a permit, and she was told to leave within 2 weeks, so she rushed to move in and it was torn down immediately.

The reason they found out was because a city worker ？ who came to the house next door when they were renovating it found it. It was just a coincidence, but from my friend's point of view, it was a big surprise.

I still think it would have been nice to have a house in my backyard there. I don't know if it would have been better if I had had permission.

As far as I know, a city inspector is coming to inspect the property to make sure it is "as directed by the city" and "you are not allowed to sleep over until that inspection is completed". I have heard that "you are not allowed to sleep over until the inspection is completed". However, this information is very old and may have changed.

However, City of Los Angeles is very strict against illegal construction, so if you are planning to renovate your house in this area, please check the city website thoroughly.
