My headlights are starting to look like sliding glass and I want to do something about it myself, but I've seen so many things on YouTube and other places that I don't know what's best.
If anyone has actually done this and has any recommendations, I would be grateful for your advice.

The easiest way, and cheapest ！
Just soak a paper towel with baking soda water and stick it on the headlight
Then just wipe it off with a dry paper towel.

Baby lead problems

Problem / Need advice

  • 2024/02/25 20:58

My child's (2 years old) blood test showed that lead was detected or was in high concentration. \The doctor told me that we live in an old house and that the street was very quiet. The doctor asked us if we lived in an old house, and yes, it was very old. But we painted all the rooms ourselves before we moved in, and we don't touch the walls outside the apartment, and if we do, we wash them immediately.
But my thought is when I wash myself, my kids drink the water from the shower. Is that likely to be the cause if the water pipes are old ？ If so, I will immediately switch to a shower with a filter. The first blood test was taken from my finger, and the retest will be directly from my arm, so they will get a more accurate reading.
What if the lead level is still high on the retest ？ I'm very concerned because I did some research and found that it can cause learning problems.

The retest result was negative ！
I was very anxious until I got the results, wondering how such an error could have been made.
However, it was a learning experience for me to know about the lead problem. I don't know where they got my number, but I also got a call from the lead program. Popcorn ceilings are bad for you too. I would never touch the ceiling and I feel like it's not good for my skin, even if it's something normal. But if it's normal, I don't think it's enough to affect the baby.

> Going by my example, until you obtain U.S. citizenship, in other words, you should have to be registered somewhere in Japan while you are a Japanese citizen.

In other words, Mr. Baiman came to the U.S. in the 1960s and kept his Japanese resident registration until he obtained U.S. citizenship.

> However, I do not know if he has to pay resident tax even if he does not currently live there.

Why don't you know? How is it possible that you don't know, and what did you do with your own resident tax until you came to the U.S. in the 1960s and obtained U.S. citizenship?

There seems to be a problem that even foreign residents have to register as residents to receive high-cost medical care under Japanese health insurance.

（ From July 9, 2012 （ effective date ）, foreign residents （ staying in Japan for more than 3 months or longer ） are also subject to the Basic Resident Registration System ）

The resident registration is for people residing in the area . Those who have moved to other areas or foreign countries must originally submit a notification of moving out.

Advantages are: （ You can join National Health Insurance ） and pay insurance based on your income in Japan .　　You can receive a my number card （ You can open a bank account ）.

Disadvantage is that if you have income in Japan, you will have to pay Japanese tax on it. Inheritance procedures are complicated.

↑ Even if you report your residency, you can't use the insurance if you haven't paid the premiums. Therefore, the problem is just identity theft or other fraud.

＃ What I wrote about being insured in 11 is, of course, that you can receive treatment and examinations with Japanese insurance when you return to Japan.

Although Japanese health insurance cannot be used at medical institutions in the U.S., you can get a refund of the amount you paid by yourself if you file a claim with the Japanese insurance organization.　However, since the refund is calculated based on the Japanese medical cost standard, only a portion of the amount paid will be refunded.

Since there are many Japanese people in LA as a whole, not only expatriates, it is easy to find a community （ and friends ） through BibiNavi, which lists many Japanese-affiliated schools.
In some areas, there are many Japanese children in the local schools, so you can find many Japanese mothers and friends. ！
Depending on the school district, there are many students from various backgrounds, not only Japanese, so the schools also offer various support services such as ESL.

Hello. I understand your feelings very much.
I was gathering information by actively exchanging contact information with Japanese people I met.
I would like to know if there are any parenting communities … I have the impression that everyone seems to have their own groups （ at work, elementary school, apartment, or in their own lessons ） but I am not aware of any large communities.

However, we would like to get some information before coming to the US. If you write specific questions or concerns, such as "My workplace is going to be in this area, but in this neighborhood, which elementary school district is best to live in ？ etc., a kind person may reply to you, as you have replied in ↑.
(Although it might be easier for everyone to answer if you direct … to the email address or something. )

Hawaii Estimated Tax

Question

I file my own tax return every year using Turbo Tax.
I have already filed for 2023.
The federal Estimated Tax payment amount is automatically calculated and there is a payment voucher, but
the State of Hawaii has you enter the amount yourself and I wasn't sure so I skipped it.
I use Hawaii Tax Online to pay my Hawaii Income Tax, but
If I want to pay my 2024 Estimated Tax, can I decide the amount and pay it myself on Hawaii Tax Online ？ Or, since I did not set the amount of Estimated Tax for 2024 when I filed the 2023 tax return, can I pay the amount of Estimated Tax for 2024?
Thank you very much.

You can decide the amount and pay it yourself.
If possible, we recommend that you divide your 2023 tax amount into four installments and pay them in four installments. If you have paid at least 100% of the previous year's tax amount on a scheduled basis, you will not be penalized even if your 2024 tax amount is higher.

When I submitted a Formal Complaint for harassment at work, the treatment got worse.

One of them is that I used to wait at work for an hour or two after work until the traffic calmed down before leaving, but now I'm being told to leave as soon as I finish work. I'm not applying for overtime pay, and if I have any work left to do, I just do it while I'm waiting. I understand that HR is the enemy.

If you are paid in venmo, you can keep the money in your venmo wallet without transferring it to the bank, and you can then venmo the money to your friends, payers, etc. If you are paid and do not transfer the money to the bank, the venmo money will increase. If you are paid and do not transfer the money to the bank, the venmo money will increase as it is.
