Nagaoka Fireworks from where?

Question

  • Yesterday 22:37

I am planning to go see the Nagaoka Fireworks this weekend.
I know it's best to watch from Waikiki, but I'm worried about traffic restrictions, parking, etc. since I'm coming from Eva.
Is there a place where we can park our car and enjoy the fireworks even if it is a little far away ?
I can't go early because of my child, so if I want to see them in Waikiki, should I park somewhere far away ( downtown or ? ) and take a bus? ? I guess.

It's a bit far, but
you can see it from the KCC parking lot.
Take exit 6, turn right at the end of the street, and go straight to the parking lot.

It is not as powerful as the one in Waikiki, but it is impressive.

I have family that will be moving to Las Vegas by the end of this year.
We have had the opportunity to go there several times and look for a room.
I would like to know some details.

Which is better to pay for utilities year round, a townhouse with all electric or a house with gas as well ?
Which company do you prefer for WIFI contract ?
I see that there is a water softner pipe coming into the garage. Where can I buy softener ( ? ) contract ( ? ) ?

Are there any Japanese doctors, dentists or car shops ?
I searched the internet but I don't know if there are any now. I don't know if there are any now, and I would like to know if you know.
Thank you very much.

Numbness after blood draw

Problem / Need advice

  • Yesterday 12:35

I had blood drawn 5 days ago and still have some pain and numbness in my arm, palm and fingers.
My blood vessels are said to move and I often bleed internally after blood draws
This is the first time I have felt numbness.
I am also concerned that it took longer than usual to draw the blood.
If the numbness persists after a week of observation, I will consult a doctor.
If anyone has had a similar experience and has any advice, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

I had a similar experience when I donated blood two or so years ago, and I still have some numbness in my arm.

The person taking the blood at that time forced the needle in very hard and it hurt a lot. And I think it took longer than usual.
I remember feeling numbness after a few days, but I waited, thinking it would go away. But in the end, it has not healed.
Now there is no way to prove it, so I have no choice, but if I could have, I would have checked with the person in charge and verified the facts.

In Mercury's case, since she has only just woken up, I think it would be a good idea ? to see the doctor as soon as possible or to confirm the facts at the time of blood collection if possible, based on my experience.

Anyway, I think the best scenario is to get back to normal, and I wish you a speedy recovery.

Thank you for your comment.
Is the numbness still there after 2 years ・ ・ ・
If it continues, I will just have to live with the numbness as if it was bad luck.
I am just going to ask for the name of the person in charge.

Spring break is coming up, what are you guys doing ?

My husband is working, so we are spending time together as mother and daughter. But every time we spend it, we don't really do anything special and I feel like it's a waste of time.

My daughter has calmed down since she started elementary school, so I think it would be nice to go away, but I am worried about her, so we always end up not going.

How do you all spend your time ??

It was decades ago when we were Topi's age.

We were lucky enough to have good pocketbooks then and bought a house. Many of our neighbors had children in the lower grades of elementary school, and many of them went to the same elementary school, so we, as newcomers, were able to get to know our neighbors easily through our children.

Other parents also felt safe because their children were playing in their neighbors' yards and on nearby streets.

Sorry, for all the useless talk. I still live in a quiet residential neighborhood off a busy main street with heavy car traffic, and I'm sure there is one in several homes with elementary school children, but I don't see kids playing outside in the street. Have times changed a lot, or are the kids also playing on the internet inside the house?

Yes, if your children can play online, let them play with their friends from the same school through the Internet. You will have to monitor the content from time to time, though. In addition, you could let them go to the friend's house or ask them to come over.

As I write this, I realize that times have changed dramatically. My granddaughter is now going to UC San Bernardino, which is over 2 hours away by car or train; UCLA was too difficult and Community College, which is in a walkable city, was too low.

Is there anyone in a similar situation ?
・ Don't apologize even if you are at fault, blame the other person
・ All responsibility lies with your partner
・ You may be good but your partner should not do the same
(I When I get angry, they tell me to control my feelings and not to get angry no matter what. But it's okay for my partner to be angry. Because I'm not able to do it.)

I could go on and on counting. I know there are trolls and messages telling me to break up with them, but I'd love to hear real life experiences from people in similar situations.

My husband is exactly the same.
I didn't know his true nature until we got married, partly because it was a speedy marriage. We got married because I thought, "I can discuss and overcome many things with this man." He is such a good talker and listener on the outside. For several years I have been told that no matter what I say, it is 100% my fault. When I try to talk to him, he calls me a teenager and won't even take me seriously, when I try to accept him, he calls me a liar, and when I shut up, he calls me depressed. When I give them a factually correct answer, they immediately leave the house, saying, "Shut up and shut up, we have nothing to talk about. I have my own problems, but after 3 years of counseling, coaching, and marriage-building seminars ( just me ), I have never really been able to decide if I want to stay with this person, so now I am moving toward independence and divorce. I feel much brighter now that I have made that decision ! Does your partner have an attachment disorder where he or she did not receive true love as a child ??

Ms. South
Thank you for your comment.
It seems that my partner's mother left home without her siblings and was raised by her father. I believe that is part of the reason why he did not have a strong relationship with his female counterpart (ie. his mother).
I am rooting for your future, Mr. South ! I am about to start counseling as well. I hope that we can both be on the right track.

I am in a similar situation but I’m the husband and have an abusive wife. She’s always telling me everything is my fault, never apologizes and always criticizing everything I do. She’s a stay at home wife cooks, but demands that I do the dishes and do laundry on top of working full time. She always resorts to hitting and yelling and being a male, just take the punishment as there’s not much for me to do back. I can’t resort to talking to friends cause then i look weak. Tried to make outside friends to talk to but no luck. Maybe I shall also seek counseling. Maybe this is a Japanese American thing.

are always concerned about something related to your travel between Los Angeles and Japan.

If you have anything to say or questions, please feel free to write.
I'll try to write "something" as well.

What means do you use to call when you return to Japan?

Which seat on the plane do you prefer, Aisle or Window, front, back,

Which airline do you think has the best food?

Which mode of transportation do you use to get to the local area?

and so on and so on

I accidentally forgot to buy tickets for this summer.
I always bought them on Black Friday, but things have been going on since last year and it slipped my mind, so I panicked and looked up LAX → SFO → Haneda → Local seems to be the cheapest. I am anxious with my child as I always fly only via Haneda.

I wonder if there will be different tickets if I wait a little longer ? Is it only going to go up from now on ??

#4412 Inadvertently,

A month has gone by without a response from anyone.

I assume you have already bought your ticket at your desired price.

If you don't mind, could you tell us what kind of saltiness you had?

Every year I go on a walking pilgrimage in Shikoku in late May when the weather is relatively stable, but

this year I found out that I myself have cancer, so the walking pilgrimage in Shikoku has been shelved.

It has become more difficult to go to Japan itself, but if I get the doctor's permission,

I would like to at least visit the unexplored hot spring areas of another India.

Well, maybe not...

I haven't been able to buy tickets yet. 5 / I would like to stay for 2 months anytime after 29.

I thought I found a cheap one, but I didn't buy it because my travel schedule is so demanding that I have to arrive at Narita, move by myself, and go from Haneda to my hometown, which is impossible with children.

I don't know why I forgot all about the tickets, but they are really expensive.

Nice to meet you. Hello.

I myself have lived without a dentist for years, but I finally saw a dentist recently because of discomfort in my gum nerve.

I started with a deep cleaning first though.

It was like gouging the root of the tooth, but I didn't feel any pain.

Sometimes the scaler would sting a little.

I didn't feel any pain after the cleaning, and my teeth felt clean, so I was personally glad I did it.

Just for reference.

I recently had a deep cleaning of my teeth for the first time in my life. I had anesthesia and did a great gouging and went all the way down to the inside of my gums. My gums were sore for a few days afterwards. But then I noticed that the pain was gone. I don't have alveolar pyorrhea, but I'm getting old and have a dry mouth, so I've gone from not even having tartar on my teeth to having to have deep cleanings. Come to think of it, I haven't had a cleaning in the last two years.

I'd love to do it, but I can't do it with insurance because I don't need it, so I only do maintenance cleanings. If it bleeds, it sounds like dirt buildup and inflammation or something like that.

I had it done once over 10 years ago and it felt good to clear my mouth.

I did it under anesthesia. My husband
did it without anesthesia.

I have a very sweet Asian boyfriend, but I get the impression that he is not thinking about our future or becoming a family. I am not sure if I want to marry him or not due to our different values. I am feeling impatient because of my age since I am not young, but it is also very difficult to meet Japanese people here in America. I am not sure if I can go out with him. I am not sure if it is safe to go out with a Japanese person. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

you should not pay for the weapons you receive because you are not the same as the U.S. that has been

I wondered if that was the case, so I got Danna involved and looked into it.
I asked an attorney who knows Danna, and he said, "Chartering a car and giving a ride to a person is considered a travel business, so you need to report it to a travel agency.
Anyway, he said that the law is very strict when it comes to the transportation of people.
The reason seems to be "for safety because there are always dangers such as accidents when people move" and "for consumer protection against fraud and breach of contract".
The law is stricter than the law for private tours, because it says, "Penalties will be imposed if you don't write your registration number on all advertisements.
"If you don't report it, there's nothing you can do if you get in trouble and run away," I was told.
Indeed.

Indeed, it is a surprising content. As you say, the necessary business licenses and registrations are required to operate a legitimate tour business. When advertised in the form of "private individual private tours," it is not uncommon for them to operate without the proper credentials or permits. Especially in popular tourist destinations such as Los Angeles, there can be a mixture of illegal services targeting tourists.

One reason for the existence of these illegal services may be that consumers have difficulty recognizing them and they are easily accepted as a less costly option. However, if a problem or accident should occur, there is a risk of not receiving proper compensation. To answer that nephew's question, the best advice would be to say that it is important to carefully check the business license and registration information of the service you are using. It is also safe to choose a company with reliable official tourist services and reviews. Although the image of "Japanese people follow the rules" is certainly strong, it is also true that in reality there are differences among individuals. As time goes by, the tourism industry and consumer choices may be changing.
