I would like you to repair several places in my room
Can you introduce me to a carpenter ?
It would be better if you speak Japanese.

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

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.

Sorry for the late comment !
Thank you.
I went to look at the Ventless Dryer, but when I looked for a size larger than 7 cu. ft. there was only whirlpool and I had to wait for more than 6 months for it to arrive …

I will take your advice

I'll be waiting for your opinion
about hot air and Linz from those who actually use Ventless Dryer !.

Dermatologist who will take skin tags.

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.

Dear Ayumi Young
I know it's too late, but is the Hawaii Kai doctor "Dr. Todd Bessinger" ?
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.

I currently reside in the Mainland.
Due to circumstances, I may be moving to Hawaii in the near future.
Can I still get a job if I am a senior ( in my late 50s or 60s )?
I am currently working in a financial office, but I am not particular about the type of work I do,
and I am aware that the pay scale in Hawaii is not as high as in the mainland.
I would be happy to hear from anyone who has had similar experiences.

Thank you,
the most recent information on the area is really helpful.
I am also concerned about security in the mainland
due to the Corona disaster and hate crimes against Asians. I know I can never be too careful.
I wonder if I have to take out insurance on my own until I find a job.
If you have any recommendations, I would be happy to hear them.

Mr. River

There are no hate crimes against Asians in Hawaii.
Rather, whites and blacks are more racially discriminated.
Japanese and people of Japanese descent tend to be treated more favorably in Hawaii.

# As 21 said, what is the reason to move from the mainland to Hawaii ?

Hawaii is also the US, and after Corona, the gap between rich and poor is even more polarized.

After Corona, many remote workers, investors, and millionaires who moved from the mainland US bought a lot of properties in Hawaii, which caused

the property prices to skyrocket. If it's not because of house sales, you can't live in Hawaii renting for long.

Popular rental properties raise their prices every year.

The reason why many grandparents are homeless is because their pensions and rentals are equal or more expensive.

People who have paid off their mortgages by the time they receive their pensions tend to stay in Hawaii, but since nursing homes are 4-5 times more expensive than in Japan,

many people return to Japan after their retirement.

Those who do not are assisted by their daughters and sons.
Those who do not are assisted by their daughters or sons, or by the government as lowincome.
River, if you are alone and light, you may want to try living there for a year to experience it for yourself.

You can see why so many people move to the mainland or Japan.

Thank you for the insurance information !
and your honest opinion is very useful.
It is true that Hawaii has a lot of Asians and it is mentally relaxing.
However, I don't think I will be able to live an easy life,
so I may have to consider other options
if things get really tough financially...
( Returning to Japan completely is difficult for me right now due to various reasons. )
I would appreciate any further information you can give me.

When I went to a remote island the other day, I asked airport security if I could bring in more than 3oz of powdered milk and was told it was okay, but I am not sure if my English was understood, so let me check here.
A large baby bottle can hold 8oz, so I guess I can bring in 8oz. ? I know I need to because I will declare it to security. I am thinking that for long flights, such as going to Japan, I can just bring the powder and make it on the plane. Any advice in this area would be appreciated.

At the Kalakaua scramble intersection around 10:00 p.m. This is an automobile. I, the contributor, am a passenger.
The other party is two pedestrians. The signal on the car side is green
The pedestrian signal is red, but there are two pedestrians who ignore the signal
The driver gets angry and goes all the way to hit them with his car, even though he should have waited for 5 seconds.
Of course, the other driver gets angry and hits and breaks the mirror. The driver gets even angrier at the other driver and parks his car on the street to chase after the other driver, but he loses sight of him because there are so many people around. Of course, the driver disregarded the traffic light and hit the other driver's mirror.
Of course, the pedestrian who jaywalked is to blame, but I don't understand the psychology of going out of your way to hit that pedestrian with your car. It's like going out of your way to get into trouble.
Am I wrong to think that the driver has a bad character or a narrow mind? ? I am worried that I might have an accident someday.

The submitter is right.

This driver is lucky he only broke the mirror.
If the other driver is malicious, this would be a case that could become a litigation issue and result in hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages.
If you are a green card holder, you will be forced to return home.

You should think about how to deal with them.

My husband saw a white car and a pedestrian in trouble last night ?. I hope it wasn't the poster, but he said the car side was at fault from his side. Of course it is bad when a pedestrian disregards a traffic light, but to go out of your way to hit a pedestrian for that is attempted murder. I don't think it's a human thing to do. I wonder if they were not reported ? I hope they were not.
I'm sorry to hear that, but as others have said, I recommend that you get rid of him as soon as possible. You will make yourself unhappy if you get involved with crazy people. Best wishes to the submitter.
