I have a question about primary care doctors
do your primary care doctors contact you once a year for check ups
I don't get any
I don't get any because it's expensive here and I tend to be lazy about it
I don't get any notice, so I don't do it after all I'm not sure if I can do it if I make an appointment myself
I know a doctor who gets my mail
I don't really like him
I'd like to change my mind
I'd like to know your situation too By the way, I'm a Japanese doctor now. Doctor.

Let me vent my disgruntled medical bills.

This is a continuation of my previous post about my child's blood test that showed high lead levels, so she was retested. May I ask if I may ask this frustration here ?
The results of the retest were negative, but they charged me $ 90 for the test ! The pediatrician told me that the first blood draw is done by taking blood from my finger and putting it in a container, so sometimes the wrong numbers are given. He told me that usually the numbers are 2 or less, but there were 9. The Lead Poisoning Prevention Program office called me and sent me a booklet. They said that if these lead numbers are correct, even if there are no symptoms now, there will be problems with learning ability. I was very sorry about where my child had gotten so much lead, and my husband was furious with me, and I was worried about what would happen to her life. On a slightly different note, I recently went to my family doctor's office to have a blood test done because I had severe eczema and the itching was painful. When I went to get the results, I found that I had an allergy reading. My family doctor had also ordered an allergy test at the blood test office, but no allergy test was done, and as a result, I was never able to find out what I was allergic to. By the time I went to get the results, the eczema had gone away and I was told that they would not be able to tell without taking blood when I had an allergic reaction. How is this possible ? I would appreciate any sympathy or advice here as well. I think I need to make sure that when I get a proper bill for this, I make sure that allergy testing is not included.

Lately, when I move my neck up and down, it hurts a lot, and the pain doesn't go away even after about a week.
I also have stiff shoulders, and my neck and shoulders hurt a lot, but this time it seems to be a little worse.
I'm thinking of going to a hospital to have it checked out, but
if I have pain in my neck, cervical spine, etc., can you recommend a hospital in Hawaii with what specific department, etc. ?
Thank you very much in advance.

Recently, animal petting cafes from Japan have finally "landed"
in Hawaii.

With its good marketing
, it is attractive to animal lovers

and they end up going to places where they can "touch" and interact with animals.

(The cat cafe in Kaimuki is protection based
so please support us. \v966>
Other animal cafes that sell "animals that don't even know what will happen to them in their old age"
are
subject to exploitation by humans.

If you are a true animal lover
please
volunteer and touch them at the Humane Society, which is still understaffed 🙇🏻‍ ♀ ️

no more pitiful Don't you want to reduce puppy mills and unnecessary killings
😭🐾🐈🐕

Thank you for being such a kind soul like you.
let's share and protect this island !

They are two very, very cute guinea pigs. They are friendly and good like a family. I have to go back to Japan for my own illness and treatment. I do not want to leave them, but I cannot take them to Japan. I am posting this in the hope that I can find a kind-hearted foster family …. If anyone is interested in adopting him, please contact me. Thank you very much in advance.

I don't have much experience in cooking, and I tried to make cookies with pancake mix using the recipe on the box, but while baking, I panicked and opened the window all the way because there was a huge smoke-like steam-like substance that came out. I guess it was because the cookie sheet I used was Waxtex Waxed Paper ? I looked closely at the recipe instructions and saw that it was an ungreased cookie sheet. If the cookie sheet I used is the problem, is this paper for wrapping things or for microwave use and not for use in the oven?

Honolulu Airlines Honolulu ・ Fukuoka Airport Flight \cHonolulu Airlines Honolulu Fukuoka Airport Flight \cHonolulu Airlines Honolulu Fukuoka Airport Flight

I am planning to return to Japan temporarily with my child around the end of May or beginning of June. We are planning to take Hawaiian Airlines Honolulu-Fukuoka Airport flight for the first time, sightsee for a few nights in Fukuoka, and then take a domestic flight (probably ANA) back to our local airport.

If you took a Fukuoka flight recently or last summer vacation, how crowded was the Fukuoka Airport Hawaiian Airlines check-in counter on the plane, at Fukuoka Airport, and on the way back to Hawaii ?

Also, when returning to Hawaii ? I am worried that I will have to push my suitcase and stroller. I usually take direct flights, so this will be my first time connecting.

Thank you very much.

Hawaii Public Schools

I've heard that the level of public schools in Hawaii is among the lowest in the U.S. Is the public school system wiped out ?
Do you have any recommendations for those who currently have children in public schools ?
For private schools, Iolani and Punahou are well known, but the tuition from Kinder to I think it is a little too expensive to pay for more than 10 years of tuition from Kinder.

There are good public schools as well.
For high schools, there are Calani and Kaiser High Schools, mostly in the east side area. ge ( If you submit a cross-border city application ) they will let you in if there are openings.
In short, it depends on your child. If your child is smart and willing to learn, it doesn't matter what school he/she goes to. I can tell you this much. The art of teaching is not to choose the brush. Even in private schools, there are many children who are addicted to drugs and self-destruct. If you are a rich kid who goes to Iolani at the behest of your parents, you are more likely to end up like Paris Hilton, a stupid, naive adult.

It is true that the level of public schools in Hawaii is low.
It comes up in the rankings, you know.

My son went to Willson for elementary school and it was
a good school.
High school is Kaimuki, a lower ranked school, but
my son's friend got a 4 year scholarship to Harvard.

As # mi k says, it depends on your child.
I was quite worried too, but
his friends are all good kids who get along well with each other and they all have moderately good jobs. I don't think it's just the school.

Paris Hilton is a businesswoman who earns hundreds of millions of dollars on her own.
Even if she is naive, she is a very wealthy person who lives in a different world from that of ordinary Japanese, so what is important is whether she is happy or not.

At Punahou School, there are wealthy people, but children of employees who work there are also admitted on a special quota. It's a world of pins and needles. An acquaintance of mine went there, but in the end it depends on the individual, gurel or not.

Collecting miles to use for Hawaii - Japan award tickets

I was hoping to get your comments on collecting miles to use for award tickets between Hawaii and Japan.
I would like to hear about your favorite company, how you collect miles, etc. I myself am currently collecting miles with Delta Air Lines Amex Gold, but I am considering doing so after I have used up all my current miles on award tickets.
The reasons for this are
- Delta's Amex Gold annual fee will be $ 100 => $ 150 ( $10,000 spend bonus will increase to $ 100 => $ 200 and new hotel credit $ 100, which is not bad in general ).
- I plan to use my BILT MasterCard to pay rent and accumulate points, but the airlines I can transfer points to are Hawaiian, United, and American Airline in the US.
- My destination is Nagoya, so I will be flying Delta to Haneda > Shinkansen to Nagoya is a bit inconvenient in terms of time ・ and money. On the other hand, it is possible to fly to Nagoya with JAL/Hawaiian.

Based on the above 3 points, I think that if I were to migrate, it would be to Hawaiian ~ ?.
On the other hand, I may continue to use Delta, $ consider the 200 bonus as bullet train fare, or use BILT points as Hawaiian miles for Interisland flights.

With my current Delta card, I have been earning 12,000 - 15,000 miles per year for the last few years.
I think ? the miles I get from purchases are roughly the same if I use the Hawaiian card as my main card.

Recent flights are
- Summer 2022 : Purchased direct Nagoya flight on JAL
- Winter 2022 : Purchased direct Nagoya flight on JAL, miles earned on Hawaiian
- Summer 2023 : On JAL Purchased direct flight to Nagoya with JAL, mileage credited to Hawaiian
- Winter 2023 : Awarded flight to Haneda with Delta
So, twice a year, I will return home by myself.
Seat is normal economy.

Note that the mileage requirement for a Delta Honolulu Haneda award ticket is roughly 94,000 - 104,0000 miles in Main Cabin economy.
The credit card award gives you 15% off the required miles, so it's actually 80,000 - 88,000 miles.

Of course, I understand that your destination, class of service, and usual mileage accrual are not the same, but
I would be happy to hear your opinions.

I get sick from the smell of marijuana.

I've never had a problem telling people this, but
lately my friends are giving me trouble.
All of them are American.

If you are over 30 and don't like marijuana, how do you deal with it ?

I thought about just making new friends, but I don't know where to go to make American friends who don't smoke pot.
I don't go to bars or nightclubs.

Hello. Do you live in Waikiki ?
I work in Waikiki so I walk around and smell marijuana.

I am not a member of any religion, but I wonder about Christians ?

I feel the same way about cigarettes and marijuana, but a celebrity who was arrested for marijuana in Japan was told that it is used for medical purposes in the US. I was told.

If Americans are using it for medical purposes, it may be no use. We all have different likes and dislikes, so I don't think we need to put up with it and stay together.

I sympathize. I do too. Especially since medical marijuana was approved in Hawaii
, I can't help but smell it when I walk down the street
. 。 Even at home, I can't stand the smell of marijuana
, especially at weekend BBQs when adults are having marijuana time next door. I don't like that sticky smell that clings to me.
In your case, I think it is better to stay away from such friends. Because someday there will be a gap in values. Is your friend only a marijuana user? It is possible that he is escalating to other drugs. 。 In any case, I think it is time to leave 。.

I'm not good at it either.

The smell of tobacco makes me sick, so the smell of marijuana makes me sick too.

Fortunately, there are no marijuana smokers around me. Including medical marijuana.

You should go to church ? There are young churchgoers.

I'm a Christian, so maybe I just don't have any pot smokers around me
I don't know.

We also have an apartment and it smells every day.
even my daughter who is 15 years old
says she smells it again
it is so frequent it is the worst.
I don't think I can deal with it because it's not a friend or anything, it's just a constant smell.

Thank you.

I do not live in Waikiki.
I stayed with a Christian family in Mainland and they were very religious.
Marijuana and alcohol were certainly not legal, but they were white supremacists, so they shunned Christians.

I still don't have any Christian friends in Hawaii, so I hope I'm not like them.

My friends say they use it for medical purposes, but I end up buying it from a dealer because medical marijuana is expensive.
The amount taken is also beyond the intake for medical purposes.
This sounds like an excuse, so I think it's time to leave this friendship with those points as well.
