I can log in through the Yahoo website and check my email there, but it doesn't seem to sync with the Mail app on my iPhone ？—the one that comes pre-installed on the iPhone. I'm thinking ？ that there might be some restrictions because I live overseas.
I’m busy today, so I’m thinking of stopping by the Apple Store tomorrow, but since it’s a Japanese Yahoo Mail account, I’m worried they might not be able to resolve the issue.

So that’s the situation, then.

It seems that Yahoo Mail does indeed have restrictions on access from overseas enabled by default.

Disabling the access restrictions for overseas users might make it possible.

As Ko-ji-san mentioned, I tried disabling access from overseas yesterday, but it didn't work.
Today, I received helpful advice at the Apple Store, and we tried all sorts of solutions, but we couldn’t resolve the issue. For now, they set up a bookmark for Yahoo! Japan Mail, and I’ve been opening it from there. Although I’ve saved my password and other information on my smartphone, I have to go through text verification every time I open it, which is a hassle.
The Apple representative told me to try opening it again from the iPhone Mail app after a while—they said there’s a chance it might start working for some reason, but they couldn’t say for sure. They mentioned that this kind of thing happens from time to time.
I imagine there are many people living overseas who use the Yahoo! Japan Mail service—has anyone else been affected by this?

Nayami,
you’ve run into someone who’s incredibly irresponsible.
If you can’t take responsibility until the very end, you shouldn’t have started in the first place, but first of all, feeding stray cats in public places without permission is illegal.
You could be fined, so you should stop doing that.
Feeding cats that haven’t been spayed or neutered contributes to the stray cat population, which is likely why that law was enacted.
A while back, a cat-loving neighbor of mine started feeding them, but it led to a vicious cycle where kittens kept having kittens, and the stray cat population exploded. After receiving complaints from other neighbors, they had a hard time catching them all and eventually took them to the Humane Society.
So, I think it’s fine to just say, “I’m sorry, but I don’t want to break the law,” to that irresponsible friend.
I think the cats will eventually move to areas where animal welfare organizations have obtained permits to feed them.

P.S. — Since traffic violations are caught in the act, even if you report the video to the HPD, they’ll just say, “Please be careful,”
and won’t issue a ticket.

They will keep a record of it, though. Unless they witness the incident firsthand, they won’t issue a ticket.
If they were to issue a ticket for every single instance, they’d end up issuing tickets to
every single driver.

Thank you for sharing your experience and letting me know that tickets are only issued for drivers caught in the act.
What’s more, this recent incident happened while I was walking with my child in a stroller—I thought we’d be pretty noticeable, but the driver seemed to completely ignore us, which really made me angry. If it had been drizzling, I might have felt so miserable that I would have burst into tears.
A little while ago, I also witnessed a car accident right in front of me at an intersection where two cars collided. If I’d been walking a little further ahead and waiting at the traffic light, I might have been caught up in it, so I’ve been staying extra vigilant when waiting at traffic lights lately.

The other day, while driving down Kapahulu Avenue, I saw someone crossing the crosswalk while filming the traffic ？ on the street ？ with their smartphone. Every single car, both to the right and left, had come to a complete stop. After seeing your post, I wondered if this person might have had a similar experience ？, but how about trying to cross the crosswalk this way? ？

Even when I’m driving, I feel like traffic has been moving faster lately. I think pedestrians must have a lot of scary experiences. Our street faces a major road, and since there are quite a few traffic accidents, to be honest, I’m afraid to let my son walk there alone.

#5 Mr. M
＞ Why don’t you try crossing the crosswalk this way? ？

The City of Honolulu has a law commonly known as the “No Smartphone While Walking Law （ Distracted Walking Law / Ordinance Section 15-24.23 ）,”
which prohibits “viewing （ Viewing ） ” the screen of electronic devices such as smartphones while crossing crosswalks or roads.

We’ve summarized the key points you should know.

[Prohibited Activities ・ and Devices]

◆Prohibited actions: Sending text messages, checking social media, browsing the web, and watching videos on your smartphone are, of course, prohibited—even “simply checking the time on the screen” is not allowed.

◆Covered devices: Smartphones, tablets, laptops, digital cameras, handheld game consoles, etc.

◆The Only Exception: This is permitted only when calling 911 （ for an emergency ）.

🚨Hands-free calls or listening to music ？
"looking at the screen" is what is regulated; therefore, making a call without looking at your smartphone screen or
listening to music while crossing the street—（ setting safety concerns aside—） does not constitute a violation of this law.

💡 Crossing the street while filming a video—if you’re looking at the screen—is a violation and subject to a fine.
I know of people who paid fines for this before the pandemic, but enforcement of this violation has now become more lenient.

I forgot to mention one more important point.

In the event of a traffic accident on a crosswalk, if you were filming the incident, the pedestrian would also be considered to have committed a violation, which would put them at a disadvantage.

Since you can’t use kanji with your husband’s last name, you’re planning to use the same last name as your Japanese mother, right?
I think it’ll be fine because they’ll add your husband’s last name in parentheses on your Japanese passport, but the names won’t match, will they?
If I use that example name for my child’s Japanese name, I believe it will be registered in the family register as Yamada Hanako Rei. We’ll list it as Hanako Rei on official documents, but if we end up living in Japan, we’ll let people call her either Hanako or Rei—whichever they prefer.
The passport is written entirely in Roman letters as Yamda(Smith) Lei Hanako.
I’m curious how others in international marriages have handled this, but I think the best thing to do is consult with the Japanese consulate.

In our case, for some reason, my name on my Japanese family register has ended up as a combined name with my husband’s, so so our children’s passports list

Japan
Smith Yamada Hanako Rei

USA
Smith Hanako Rei

USA —they don’t include our Japanese family name. We’ve traveled back and forth between Hawaii and Japan many times, and we’ve never had any problems. The only issue is that the names are so long they sometimes don’t fit on the airline tickets.

I was in the immigration line for 2 hours when I came back in Feb. As a GC holder, I am usually instructed to stand in the US passport line with my US citizen family members, but this time I was instructed to stand in the tourist line with my family members because of the new rules. So all the US Passport family members stood in the tourist line with me for 2 hours.

When my turn finally came, all of my US citizen family members were sent to a separate room with me, and they were also inconvenienced. I have a feeling that even if I apply for Global Entry, it will be rejected because of my history of visa denial decades ago.

I used to be sent to a separate room every time, so I got a redress number, and after getting the number, I don't have to be sent to a separate room anymore, but this time, the officer at the counter happened to be new, and all my family members were exhausted after being sent to a separate room for a long time.

I want to get global entry, but I think I will fail in the screening process, so I have given up on MPC for now ….

the Global Entry lanes were
the smoothest I have ever seen.

This year, I flew back to Hawaii on ANA. Since I arrived at 8:00 a.m., there was no one in line.

Last time, I flew JAL and arrived after 9:00 a.m., so I had to wait in line for nearly an hour at Honolulu Airport without a Global Entry card.

I think if I continue flying ANA, I probably won’t need Global Entry.

This is a counter-prescription for when I was in Los Angeles.
In Los Angeles, noise is out between 10:00 and 7:00.
Hawaii is the same way, so
report it to the management company and if it hasn't improved,
it's perfectly acceptable to call the police.
Also, as other users have said, preservation of evidence is important and
necessary when notifying the noise source of a breach of contract.
Also, nationality depends on race, but there is a good chance that
the police will only come once and
it will stop. In my case, the landlord terminated the contract quickly after two reports.
However, if it is discovered that you are the one who reported the incident, the same thing can happen to you, and you can get upset
because of your race and nationality.
The strongest recording is a video with a clock and date and time.

If you are in the baby clothes section of Macy's, you can always find baby clothes at 40% to 60% off.
Unlike Japanese baby clothes, some baby clothes cover all arms and legs and are made to prevent scratching to the face by fingernails, which I think is very useful. In Japan, it is common to put on mittens or socks, so I think similar products are almost impossible to find. If you buy the 6month ones, I think they will last for a while. Also, it is a good idea to look at toys at Target and other places.
You won't get to use them until a little later ….

I went to the stores you gave me hints about. I have only met the baby's mother (my nephew's wife) once at a wedding, and I didn't know what she liked, so I was at a loss for what to buy at the store, and ended up buying an English picture book with rustling sounds for babies on Amazon. It's difficult for different generations. Thank you very much.

I can't believe that you have been dog sitting for free for several years. I think they are just taking advantage of the good Lord who can't say no. People who are good at pampering are thick as thieves and will escalate the situation. In the US, if you are going to dog sit and even stay overnight, it is normal to pay, unless you are family. However, some people just find someone who can afford the time to pet-sit or babysit and impose on them for free.
I am not a person who is good at saying no to people, so I accepted it at first, but in common, such people ask for more and more favors.
Moreover, when I refused, they would ask me why they couldn't do it, and before I knew it, I was often surprised to find out that it was natural for them to accept my requests.

If you and your partner both have pets and you help each other when you travel, I understand. If you love your dog and don't mind taking care of it, that's fine, but why should you spend your time and effort on her pet while your friend is on vacation? ？ I think you should be honest about your feelings and clearly decline.

If that makes it awkward for the other person to show no appreciation or apology for what you have done, I think you should keep your distance.

I frankly felt that "the dog owner is a really brazen person"
You are recognized as a handyman and not appreciated.
Please cut ties with such a person now. They will try to keep you in their words. But don't be fooled. They will not give up their connection with you for the reason that 'it will be inconvenient if the handyman disappears'. If you have a record of your past, don't forget to file a claim for damages through an administrative scrivener.

I was dog-sitting for a friend of mine for a while.
I had no intention of getting paid, but when I told my family later
they said there was no way I could dog sit for free.
Looking back, I was spending money on transportation to go to the dog sitter
so I was happy to get that much.
I think it is very expensive to have a dog sitter, so
I think she saves a lot of money and is able to travel ？

I know it is hard to say no, but I think you should give a reason
such as you are not feeling well.
