I would like to borrow a friend's car for a day, but the insurance my friend has is only for the owner himself, so I have to get my own insurance.
Is there a one-day car insurance like in Japan ？
If you know of one, could you please tell me the insurance company ？
I tried to look it up on the internet, but I am not sure ….
Please let me know.

I'm sure different insurance companies have different conditions （ such as additional locomotive insurance fees, US license holders only, etc ） but you could ask your friend if you can add their name to your policy ？ It's a lot of work and expense, but it's peace of mind just in case it's only for one day.

I moved to Hawaii from New York a few months ago, and I often go out during the day, but I have free time at night when I live alone.
Is there any place where I can watch Japanese-language TV, etc., like a hotel lobby or a public facility?

Or, are there any DVD rental stores that sell Japanese-language TV dramas? I really want to watch the upcoming NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen and Taiga Drama, so please let me know if there is somewhere I can watch TV Japan.
I will eventually try to have online Japanese TV available at my residence, but I am not able to go that far at this time,
Thank you very much.

Excuse me for entering sideways.
I live in the same area as Koji.
Smart TV.

You can watch
KIKU without paying Spectrum for TV ？ ！
I only pay Spectrum for modem and wifi every month.

Is the indoor antenna ok for a condo ？

I would be very happy if you could tell me what brand and where you bought it.
Please let me know.

Maki-san
I enjoy Japanese movies and dramas on Amazon Prime.
There is not a wide variety, but there are Amazon originals
so it is fresh. I also enjoy original American movies.
I get an extra 10% off sale items at Whole Foods, and
Prime offers free shipping for online shopping, so
I pay my annual membership fee once a year.
It is more economical than paying monthly membership fees.
I hope this helps.

Maki, miki,

KIKU's transmitting base station is on the west side of the island, on top of the mountain in Kapolei.
So near the town, the receiving antenna is basically facing west.

My antenna is about 10 years old and made by Amazon.
The point is that it is a USB powered type to enhance the signal.
This increases the possibility of picking up a weak signal.
https://www.amazon.com/Chaowei-Antenna-Amplified-Digital-Antenna-Booster/dp/B0BBF7JGRY/ref=psdc_3230976011_t2_B08CWZ273C


I live on the third floor of an apartment building with a window facing west and no tall buildings in the direction of the antenna.


One idea is to try various indoor spots with a low-cost indoor antenna （ $ 20 ） like the above.

My indoor antenna is not designed to be turned on, so I thought it was weak to get signals from outside, but
I just changed the position of the antenna to right next to the window and scanned the channels again, and now I have more channels and can watch NHK news NHK news is available.
A little progress and a little hope. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for the guidance ！

It would be a great deal if I could watch Amazon's $20 antenna all the time.

I regret the past of paying monthly for Spectrum.

I did a cleaning job and brought home bed bugs.

Prices have continued to rise in recent years, and I couldn't live on my regular job alone
so I decided to take a part-time cleaning job.
The hourly wage was $20, so I thought it was okay.

So 2 ， About 3 weeks ago I went in to clean and the room in the Bakerlane condo was old and had bed bugs.
Bed bugs. They are also called bedbugs. They are reddish, flat insects and disgusting.
Since we were cleaning in pairs, the other person was vacuuming up the bugs.

And ・ ・

I had completely forgotten about it for the last week or so, the back of my legs were itchy and red and swollen
I looked around and thought it was strange ？ and saw a bed bug walking in the corner of my bed.

I've lived here for almost 10 years now and this has never happened
I thought about it and decided that it was most likely a bed bug or its insect eggs on my clothes
coming home from that Bakerlen's cleaning room.


I can't sleep because it itches.

It's so tiny you can't see it, so be careful everyone.

Excuse me.
The scary part of this story is that you went in to clean the room for work
and brought back bedbugs from there.
That means that the bedbugs are in many places from this room.
That's scary.

I wonder if your work company covered the cost of the treatment ？
I was actually thinking about
cleaning work as a second job ？ toward the end of the year.
Are you still working, Mr. Vampire Insect ？?

I think Hawaii is a good place for bed bugs to occur.
Not only because of the year-round warm weather, but also because we have visitors from all over the world,
so it is easy to imagine that it can propagate through their behavior.
You mentioned an older room this time, but it is possible to get
bed bugs regardless of how new or well cared for the room is.
Sometimes the news says it happens in movie theaters, etc.
Once you are affected, you don't feel like a stranger anymore.

To prevent bed bugs, when traveling, once you enter your room, put your luggage in the bathtub
and check around the bed （ under the mattress and headboard ） and open your luggage if it looks safe.
When you go to clean the room, you should also check in this way first, and
if there are bed bugs, you should immediately contact the owner, and the employer should be notified that the room is contaminated with bed bugs, and therefore cannot be cleaned.

Vampire Insect,

Even if you hire a contractor, I believe you will be instructed to wrap the mattress in a bed bug cover.
First, why not buy a mattress cover or base cover from Walmart or Home Depot?

The vendor told us that if the bed is directly on the floor, we should pull a carpet under the bed that has about 20-30 cm more room than the bed, and
sprinkle diatomaceous earth powder on top of it. If bedbugs come in contact with the diatomaceous earth powder when they crawl on it, they will die of dehydration.
The contractor used their own diatomaceous earth powder, which is probably of better quality, but HomeDepot and others also sell diatomaceous earth powder for bed bugs.

I think it was about a week from discovery until the contractor came
I wrapped double-sided tape around the sides of the mattress to catch the bed bugs that were crawling up. I think it reduces the number that come up to the bed.

Some people on the internet are trying to get rid of them themselves.
If the breeding is still in the early stages and the damage is minor, you may be able to handle it yourself.

Poor Busybody,

I haven't told my employer, so I'm not getting any money for treatment
because I can't prove that the bed bug got on my clothes at work.
I still belong to the company I work for.


Thank you, Koji,
for teaching me so much.
I immediately bought cedar oil spray.
I'll wait and see about hiring a contractor, it costs quite a bit of money.



I've been watching a lot of videos on Youtube about killing bed bugs ！
one bug lays 5 eggs every day and they keep growing.
I'm scared.

Hi, my name is MIMI.
I am a licensed cosmetologist in the state of Hawaii.
Cosmetologists are licensed hair stylists, manicurists ､ and estheticians.
They can be obtained separately.
The number of credits for Manicurist only may be different. ､ You may want to contact the Hawaii State School of Cosmetology, I got mine in 1997, so it may have changed. They may be able to share some past problems with you at the beauty school.

I'm having trouble with my dryer (>_<(>_<(>_<(<})

Question

Hi
I recently bought a room in an apartment and moved in
The dryer is different from the previous one, it has a box next to the dryer that holds water. When using the dryer, it is extremely hot, hot air is blowing out of the hose into the box, and the humidity and hot air is such that if I closed the door to take a shower, I would suffocate.
Gray dust ？ from the hose connected from the dryer
trash is in the box along with the hot air.
After about 2 uses of the dryer, the box is depleted of water and a lot of gray dust is floating and sticking to the inside of the box.
After 4 times without changing the water, the gray dust was flying all over the walls, ceiling and everywhere …

There is no exhaust port in my apartment to connect the hose if the dryer. I think that's why it's connected to a box, but I don't know if there's anything we can do about it.
I would like to know if you have a dryer in the same room without an exhaust vent, and if you have any recommendations or a dryer that does not produce hot air or dust(>_ <)

The dryer is just stressful right now(>_<)

I think hot air is not an option.
Ours is near the entrance, so when we use the dryer, we open the door a little to let the breeze in. Dust is prevented by putting a stocking over the mouth of the hose and a sort of screen over the surface of the box. It seems that this form of dryer has to be ingenious to get along.

I am sure any dermatologist will take it off, but I am looking for a regular dermatologist in the Honolulu area. When I look for one, I find many places that have a strong esthetician color, and I am worried that the fees will be too high and that it will be a hassle to have wrinkles removed as well or something like that. I am looking for one because the doctor I have been working with has retired. The doctor recommended by the retired doctor was not bad, but it was a Queen's Hospital and I prefer a smaller place.

I was told by a local dermatologist that it was ＄ 360 for my neck and face. Of course, this is not covered by insurance. My previous dermatologist also did not cover it and did not give me anesthesia, but ＄ it was not 100.
Please let me know if you have any information about skin tag removal other than Ayumi's.
