Hello ！ I am pregnant. ！
I have been researching insurance from the state of Hawaii for my pregnancy, but I haven't heard of anyone who has taken it,
so I would like to hear from older moms and everyone who is currently pregnant.
I would really appreciate it if you could tell me how and when the paperwork is issued, whether you retired or not, etc. … I would really appreciate it if you could tell me about it.

[TDI details below]
Temporary Disability Insurance （ Temporary Disability Insurance ： TDI

In Hawaii, non-occupational illness or injury （ pregnancy ・ including childbirth ） TDI （ Temporary Disability Insurance ） exists to supplement a portion of your wages if you are unable to work due to

pregnancy ・ for the period you are unable to work during childbirth, TDI may be available to receive a percentage of your wages for the period you are unable to work during childbirth.

However, there are some caveats ：
• TDI covers illness ・ injury ・ non-occupational disability, including pregnancy, while accidents at work ・ injuries, etc. are covered by workers' compensation （ workers ' compensation ） may be covered, and therefore treated differently.
• TDI may not be covered if the employer does not offer the plan ／ and the requirements are not met.
• TDI does not automatically provide employment security （ or the right to retain your job ）. In other words, there may be no institutional guarantee that you will always retain your former job after a leave of absence using TDI.

TDI Used.
My memory is fading, but before the birth, ask your employer to prepare the forms for you to submit. The subsidy is for 4 weeks for a normal delivery and 6 weeks for a cesarean section. The amount of the subsidy is better than nothing, and it is about 70% or 80% of one month's salary, I think ？. I remember that it was after the delivery, not during the pregnancy, but after the delivery.
The maternity leave system varies from company to company, so I think it would be a good idea to discuss things with the company.

I have grandchildren now, so this is a long time ago, but I used TDI because my pregnancy was not progressing well and I was unable to work. My husband also used TDI to take care of me. He and his wife both took a leave of absence until they used up their TDI, I retired at the end of my TDI, and my husband returned to his former job. It helped me during my pregnancy, but I had an emergency C-section, so it really helped to have my husband there after the birth.

I recently used TDI.
I have my employer, nurse and doctor fill out the form as well. The nurse told me that if I didn't work until 38 weeks, I should work until 38 weeks, even if I had to reduce my hours just in case, because there have been cases where I was turned down.
Of course, if you have an emergency delivery before then, you will be paid for 6-8 weeks from then on. After the birth, if there was a problem, it could have been extended further.
The amount depends on your income, but I believe the weekly limit was about $ 800.
I think you had to have been working in Hawaii for a few months before submitting the application, and you had to be working at least 20 hours per week.
If it is a large company with a large number of people, I think they may have their own benefits as well.

Please take care of yourself during your pregnancy.

My 2 year conditional green card
renewal is coming up.
Did you hire a lawyer ？
or did you do it on your own ？

I would like to hear your opinions.

I didn't have to use a lawyer to do it because it was just a simple input.　
It was just this ？ thing.
I think you should do it with your husband, though.
If you are unsure, go to a lawyer!

I also had to start the renewal process from 2 years to 10 years, and initially we were going to do it ourselves, but we decided to ask our lawyer. With the current situation where immigration is becoming stricter, I thought it would be a good idea to have peace of mind in case something should happen to me.

As long as I filled out the form correctly, I think it should be fine. I thought I was supposed to do it myself, so I never thought about hiring a lawyer.
I did it with no problem, checking with my husband.

Now that immigration is so strict, I think it would be safer to have a
lawyer
when you get stuck at the immigration office, rather than just making a mistake at the time of renewal.

I think you should only hire a lawyer if you have to wait very long for something to happen or if you are in trouble.

I didn't want people to think that my renewal was so complicated and difficult that I needed a lawyer

I entered everything myself, so I received my renewed green card

twice for 2 years and twice for 10 years, totaling 3 times very quickly.

I tend to receive my green cards in

less time than using an attorney because of the busyness and timing of the attorney I use.

About living in Hawaii. I have a question for those who live or have lived in Hawaii. In comparing life in Hawaii and Japan, what do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of Hawaii over Japan, and what do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of Japan over Hawaii ？ Would you like to live in Hawaii again ？ If you currently live in Hawaii, would you like to stay in Hawaii or return to Japan? If you live in Hawaii now, do you want to live in Hawaii forever?

I know a woman (in her 50s) who works from early morning to late at night, and she said she can barely pay her rent and eat. I asked her if she was not better off going back to her parents' house in Japan and working part time ？. She replied, "I want to marry you, but most middle-aged Japanese men are bald and not very cool, but there are middle-aged men here who are cool and have a lot of hair. I wanted to advise her that these men with fluffy hair would be looking for young attractive women, not old ladies like you, but I decided not to. There seem to be a lot of middle-aged Japanese women in Hawaii who are just too good to be true.

I think Hawaii is the worst right now
Prices are too high and there are many homeless people. The number of Japanese and tourists has decreased a lot. Ten years ago, even though prices were relatively high, it was not a cosmopolitan island. Even for ordinary people. I am honestly worried about what will happen in the future.

I think there are men and women like that everywhere, not just in Hawaii.
In the end, people with the same vibrations are attracted to each other, so there are people who can marry and have
partners no matter where they go.
I think the key is being able to read the atmosphere.

There are many attractive people in Hawaii, both men and women, who have been married more than once.

Men and women are not only good looking, but especially in Hawaii, those who can afford it
will be in great demand.
If you get a job that pays well, you might be popular.

I have a milkweed plant that seems to have been in a seed mix I planted in my garden a long time ago, but
unbeknownst to me, many Monarch butterfly caterpillars have taken up residence and are eating the leaves.
I counted them and found that there were more than 15 of them and they were eating so much that
all the leaves will be gone before they all turn into chrysalis.　
I thought they would eat crown flower leaves too, so I got some from a neighbor and brought them to their heads, but
they didn't look at them at all.

I have sown some seeds from the blooms so far, but I don't think I will make it in time, because they haven't germinated at all.

I went to CityMill this afternoon, but they did not sell milkweed.
I will try McCully's Nursery tomorrow.

I would be happy to hear from anyone who has information on where it is sold here, or where it grows wild, or who is willing to give me some from their garden
.

About 2 weeks ago,
it was at Lowe's in Waikele.
It was a sapling with pink flowers.
I wanted to buy it but it was expensive ～ and I gave up

I could buy the seeds on Amazon.

If Lowe's in Waikele has them, there might be some in Honolulu!
Fortunately, there was a person who gave me a pot this time, but maybe that might not be enough
I'll go to Lowe's then.

You write that you have a problem with bus drivers letting homeless people on the bus, but
you can't refuse them ？ the person to whom the driver himself can say don't get on or get off at his own discretion is drinking,
or someone with a bottle of alcohol, or someone who is making noise or fighting or acting up with anyone And so on. I can't tell them not to get on just because they are homeless.
The driver doesn't have the authority to refuse you a ride just because he doesn't like you.

I think everyone has their own circumstances and opinions, and I am sure everyone uses the bus.
I am mainly taking my kids to and from school, so my car is the only way to get around, but my kids want to ride the bus
just for fun ？ I'm thinking about taking the bus with them when I get the chance. ddmm808, your son is using the bus for the environment, and I think that's wonderful.
I am sure there are many people who choose public transportation for that reason.

Mr. Jack, what everyone is upset about is your Itsukpou-like judgment and over-the-top attitude. I'll list them here in bullet points since you don't seem to have noticed them.
1. It is the driver's fault for letting a homeless person on the bus
The State of Hawaii, by US law, discriminates on the basis of race, equality in all things
and public transportation allows people to ride the bus except those who would harm them. Drivers cannot refuse you because you are homeless.
I personally sympathize with some ex-servicemen who have become homeless because of the trauma of past wars.
2. You can't ask a bus rider not to come to your house or
not to sit on the bus.
Maybe it's time to publicly tell bus riders who visit your house that you are afraid of Non welcome Coronas.
Jack, it is your home, your castle, so please make yourself comfortable and stress free.
3. When you become a home owner, you will understand.
It doesn't matter if you are a homeowner or a renter, there is only a difference between Mortgage and Rent ｡
I am a homeowner too, but I have friends who gave up their own cars and come to visit me by bus. I am so thankful to them for coming by bus and I make them a cup of cold barley tea with all my heart. Corona is airborne and not yet 100% understood. We cannot say that you are infected on the bus. You can get it in spas, spas, schools, workplaces, everywhere.
I can understand why you are getting angry at the offensive remarks you have been making lately.

I am thinking of going to Hawaii for a 3 week vacation. I can stay at a friend's house and I found a cheap airline ticket, but the problem is the cost of living.

I understand that the cost of living in Hawaii is about 1.5 times that of Japan due to inflation, but is that really the case overall? Even if I try to live a frugal life, are the basic living expenses such as supermarkets, cafes, transportation, etc. expensive ？

For example, does it cost more than $10 for a cup of coffee ＋ and a tip just to work in a café ？?

Prices, I think they are starting to settle down.

A cup of coffee at a Cafe is not ＄ 10.

A cup of coffee at Honolulu Coffee Experience Center
Iced coffee is ＄ 6.

Starbucks would be ＄ 5 or so.

If it was a hotel cafe, it would be like that, including tip.

I think some of the information is wrong. I think the reason is that
they are trying to discourage
travel to the U.S. by saying that the U.S. has a high inflation rate.

I don't believe much information from people who only see Waikiki
. They are giving out some pretty ridiculous information.

Japan was too cheap, so I guess they finally got the price right
.

The weak yen is also having an effect.

It is not uncommon for an egg costing 900 yen in Japanese yen to be the same
in US dollars.

Eggs and other ＄ 3 or less prices are coming back.

Well, you can take the Waikiki tipsters for what they are
it is what it is.

It used to be that Hawaii was expensive, now NYC is
the most expensive, SF, LA, etc., and Honolulu
is cheaper than SF.

Don't put too much trust in bullshit information.
