I've had the opportunity to meet more and more people here
and I'm beginning to wonder
how many people talk about their personal matters from the day they meet ?
that's also from the day they meet you. I am not surprised because it is not in my mind.
I find it interesting that even someone like that is so consistent about beauty, saying
"I don't do anything"
even though she probably does a lot of other things. Many such people are beautiful, so I don't think it would matter if they were doing something.

Mr. Green Card
Actually, there may be some people like that, but not all.

Many of them would have much more dreams than clinging to the old Japanese society. It is not only Hawaii. People who emigrate overseas are probably uncomfortable with the vertical society in Japan.

How many Japanese who came to Hawaii
because they didn't like the vertical society in Japan were cut off by the company they worked for here in Corona, and
how many of them left for Japan or the US mainland?
That is a fact.

Who made the American dream come true ? here in Hawaii ?
If there is such a person, I wonder how many people
he stepped on and how black-hearted he is.

I have lived in Hawaii for several years and I will say this.
Hawaii is not a paradise where everyone can live the way they want to.
I think it is a training ground for people who have lived their lives blaming only their surroundings and environment for their life not going well. You never know when the American dream will come.
It could be next week, it could be in a few years, it could be in a few decades. If you believe in your path and live your life, Hawaii will be your paradise.

The high cost of living in Hawaii, which has risen at an unusual rate.

Many elderly people are homeless in Hawaii because their pension and rent are the same amount or rent is more expensive.

If you have paid off your mortgage by the time you are old enough to get a pension, you will not be homeless.

If you want to live in Hawaii for the rest of your life, you should buy a house early and pay it off early.

Hawaii has a huge disparity for people in their 60s and older.

There are those who are traveling gracefully on rental income and those who are always strapped from paying rent for the rest of their lives.

Realize quickly which you will be in the future and act accordingly.

Hello.
My family is coming from Japan.
I'm bringing my SIM free iPhone and I'm wondering if I should buy a SIM card or rent a WiFi router after I come to Hawaii.
When I came last year, I went to AT&T to buy a SIM card and it cost me $ 55 …
My sister is staying for 1 week and my parents for 2 weeks, and I just need to be able to use LINE and web search. We don't need a phone number, especially not a Hawaii phone number.
If anyone knows of a good and affordable SIM card, please let me know !.

Since you said you have an iphone, we assume you will be using it and only pay the monthly fee. However, if you leave it unused, it will automatically continue every month. $ 7 is only for 1G of data and 100 minutes of talk time, and does not include the SIM itself. You will get a Hawaii 808 phone number. If you don't make calls, it's $ 6/m for 1G (No minutes) and $ 10/m for 2G.

By bone grafting, you mean bone grafting ?

I also had an implant treatment here a few years ago.
I thought I was only going to have an implant, but I was told that the bone of the foundation was thinning and that an implant could not be placed as it was.
There was no significant swelling or pain after the surgery. Of course, I was prescribed painkillers, but I only took one dose and did not take any after that because I had no pain. Anyway, I thoroughly followed the postoperative instructions, such as taking care of the affected area and not biting with strong force. I was rather more scared during the surgery than after. Both the osteogenesis and implant surgery were done under local anesthesia, so I could hear the sound of bone powder being placed during the osteogenesis surgery and the sound of the machine cutting the bone during the implant surgery.
If you request the optional intravenous anesthesia, it will be done while you are asleep, so you will not be scared by the sound.
When I told the surgeon that I was afraid of the noise during the surgery, he suggested that I could have the surgery while listening to music with headphones, but unfortunately, I did not have noise-canceling or other high-performance headphones. Unfortunately, I did not have noise-canceling or other high-performance headphones, so both surgeries were performed under local anesthesia and without headphones.

I hope your surgery goes well.
I have completed both my osteogenesis and implants and am living comfortably.

Dear Implant

Thank you for the details. I am a little relieved to hear that there was no major pain or swelling. Of course it depends on the individual condition, but I was afraid because there were many stories on the internet that it was very difficult. I am going to have a tooth extraction and then in 3 months I will have an osteogenesis surgery. I am nervous, but I will try to keep my mind calm. The sound thing was also very helpful. It is the back tooth of the upper jaw, so it is closest to my ear.
I will ask my doctor about the method to finish the surgery while I am sleeping with intravenous anesthesia next time I have a tooth extraction !

Thank you so much for your help.

I received the results about 21 hours after the sample was taken.

It seems that the test time changes depending on the situation.

I went for the test today. I checked with the person in charge and I don't know if this is a routine response, but he told me that I would get the results in 24-48 hours. Since tomorrow is Easter Sunday, I asked if the time required would vary greatly depending on whether the lab was operating or not, and they replied that it was.
Just knowing that last week's results came out in about 21 hours makes me feel a little more comfortable waiting.

I was going to check the hours on the website and I know they are closed on Sundays, but is the Ala Moana testing center now closed on Saturdays as well ?
I was unable to select Saturday and Sunday on the calendar when making an appointment. I was getting worried because I thought that going for an exam on a Saturday would be ideal.
I checked other inspection sites and it seems that Waikele does it on Saturdays and Sundays, so I am wondering if I have no choice but to go to Waikele...but I would like to take it in Honolulu if possible.

Please let me know if you know of any other free PCR testing sites in Honolulu for people returning to Japan.

Because we live on money, we have to go and do things we don't want to do every day.
But if you don't need the money, you don't have to do it ?
Without money, you are much less safe, but you won't necessarily die. Even wild animals are the same. Some animals get eaten, but others survive to the end.
You are lucky if you survive, unlucky if you die.
Isn't that good enough ?
Why do we have to do things every day that we don't want to do that we might not have to do ?

the pension you can rely on will come from the government if you worked hard when you were young

When you get old and need care

No one will look after you for free

When you die, will someone take care of you ?

Will someone give you a funeral ?

Will someone write your death certificate ?

You are still young, so you don't need to think about it ?

That is a big mistake

When you are young I played too much and saved nothing

I'm in debt...

Before the Corona pandemic, I had given up on the idea that it was natural to put up with things that I didn't like and was not good at, and had worked hard for the company under a state of maximum stress. However, the company I had devoted so much of my time and effort to was completely cut off after the Corona pandemic, and while I was on standby at home during the pandemic, I had time to reflect on myself, and my thinking changed.

I realized how much money I had spent just to look good and be pretentious. I realized how much money I had spent just to look good and be pretentious. I had the courage to say no to relationships I didn't enjoy, and I felt refreshed. I got a job that suits me without worrying about how I look, and although my income is less than when I was an office worker, my heart is fuller. Although there is a system in which people can get help if they don't have a penny, the subsidies are taxpayer-funded, and the system is built on the basis of people who have money. I think everyone has money, some don't, some don't want to spend it, but I need money because I like to eat what I want, buy what I want, and travel, so I don't think living without money is freedom.

About a year ago,

I don't know which vaccine you need, but in my case, I needed an additional tetanus vaccine.
I got it at Long's and it was covered by my insurance.
If you go to the Longs website and enter your date of birth, you can see a list of which vaccines are available at which Longs.
There were about 10 vaccines available at Long's.

However, at the Longs near my house, I had to make an appointment.

Mr. G.

Does it change that much in a year ?
so I did some research.
Then I found a site where I could find out how much at a nearby store.

https://www.goodrx.com/tdap

This shows that even Long's is $ 56.
I'm puzzled that Cosco is $ 75...

It says that the price is without insurance.
Maybe the price of the vaccine is $ 56, and the fee or injection fee ?

doctor will charge a doctor visit, so in any case, I think the drugstore is cheaper.
