Since no one has responded, here is our family's case.

A cat clinic in Kapahulu has a hotel there
I used to leave my cat there every time I traveled. Google .purradise cat care.

But my cat was so nervous and timid that for the first few days she was
too scared of other cats walking outside her cage …
to eat or go to the bathroom .
I have been having a sitter come to my house on a walk-in basis.
I think the above clinic is perfectly fine if the girl is calm and has a good heart.

I have also left my dog at Pounce Hawaii in Kakaako a few times.
The price is a little higher, but this is a private room and there is no contact with other cats.
If you want to leave even a timid cat, this might be a better choice.
However, for some reason, my cat came back with a bad body odor, and I couldn't get rid of it for a few days
I haven't left her there since then … I wonder what it was … There was no problem with her physical condition.

meow Thank you, I did not know Parradise cat care. I will go to see them once. I'm a little worried though, because my little girl is also a little scaredy-cat and doesn't know other kids.
I always left them at pounce. I got them from there. I always leave them at pounce, but it's expensive. But it's expensive. I was looking for a better place. Thanks for the info.

Parents of local high school students, do you have a curfew?
I am a parent of a senior citizen child, and since he started driving, if I leave him alone, he doesn't come home until after midnight. Is it too strict for parents to set a curfew for their high school children in the U.S.?

We graduated from high school last year and
unless we had something special to do, we had a curfew of
9:00 on Sunday ～ Thursday and 11:00 on Friday and Saturday.

And if we were running late, we didn't drive, we either dropped him off or had him take an Uber.
My son's friends had a similar curfew.

#2 Dear Sean0914

Your son and his friend both had curfews when they were in high school. My son always came home for dinner even after he started driving, so we didn't have a curfew, but when he got a girlfriend, his attitude suddenly changed and he never came home, so I talked to my husband and decided to set a curfew. He said there are no other kids around him who have a curfew, and he is not happy that he is the only one who has to come home when the time comes. I wondered if the curfew was too strict for an American high school student, as my son said, but it is too late to wait until something happens, so I think I will stick to my policy of "one home is home, another is away. Thank you for your answer.

If you have a HOLO card,
it is convenient to register it in Japanese as well.

You can see the history of your card and cancel it immediately if you lose it.
You can also see the time of your first ride, so you can check what time you got on.

Holo Card debits

3 in the first 2.5 hours, then ＄ 3 again after 2.5 hours, then ＄ 3 after 2.5 hours, then ＄ 1.50 for a 1 Day Pass.

1 Day ＄ No more than 7.50 will be debited, and no more than ＄ 80 will be debited for the same amount as the monthly pass.

No further debits once the annual ＄ 880 （ 11th month ） is reached.

Instead of buying monthly, you can deposit ＄ 80 at Main and it will be automatically debited, and once you reach ＄ 7.50 on the 1st, no further debits will be made. Once you reach ＄ 80, you will have unlimited rides from then on, and on the 11th month you will reach ＄ 880, so you will have unlimited rides for the 12th month. I myself have been reaching ＄ 80 every month since last October, so I will reach ＄ 880 in September of this year. Then I will have unlimited rides in October.

Local School ・ Curfew for High School Students

Problem / Need advice

I am the mother of a local high school senior.
Since she has been with me, she comes home late every night and sometimes doesn't come home until dawn. When I set a curfew (9:00 on weekdays and 11:00 on weekends), she complains that we are the only American high school students who have a curfew. ？

Also, since he has a girlfriend, his grades have dropped drastically and he has been late for class more often, but he says that he is fine because he has already decided on a university and his tardiness and grades will not be reflected in his future schooling.

How to divide tips between servers and sushi chefs

Question
#1
  • 寿司シェフ向上委員会
  • mail
  • 2024/02/29 22:37

I would appreciate your opinions on how to divide the tips between the server and the sushi chef at a Japanese restaurant with a sushi counter.
We would like to hear from as many people as possible, even if you are not an experienced server or sushi chef.
Most customers come to a sushi restaurant for great sushi. I don't think there are any customers who come to the restaurant for servers except for their friends. We feel that it is up to the server to provide good sushi and make it better.
Some servers say that all tips should be taken by the server, but I wonder if that is true. ？
The hourly rate is decided by the restaurant based on the experience and work style of the person. One major Japanese restaurant does not mainly do sushi, but they split it 50/50. Please let us know how to make it mutually agreeable. Thank you in advance.

It may be possible to say that only the counter tipping is 50%, but I don't think it is possible to say that the server and the chef get the same tip.

＞ Most customers come to the restaurant for great sushi. I don't think there are any customers except my friends who come for the server.

Like ＃ 14, I thought this person was a famous sushi chef who makes great sushi and has many regular customers of his own. I don't know about the tipping as I am not in food and beverage, but I thought tipping was only for servers.
And if a good friend of mine worked in a restaurant, even if it wasn't a particularly good place （ I would go there ） often as long as it wasn't bad. I think a server who has a lot of friends will bring in more customers than a bad sushi chef.
I think this guy is a great sushi chef, so if he moves to a bigger restaurant that he is comfortable with
I think he will have a lot of regular customers. I'd love to try it sometime.

I understand there is a problem in the Mainland regarding tipping customs. I hear that customers who use stores and services are getting fed up about tipping customs. This trend has led to the creation of restaurants and services where the owners themselves are paid appropriately and do not require tips. As a result, the restaurant has become a hot topic as a tip-free restaurant, and sales have increased to the point where they can pay their employees adequately. Personally, I think it is fine for service providers to work for tips, but I would like to see a revision of the payroll system that requires people to make a living from tips rather than salary. I don't think it will result in a good outcome for any of the employees or customers, as they are forced to tip, and the response after service changes drastically depending on the amount. I feel that hiring employees cheaply and making the customers who use your restaurant pay for the burden of hiring them, results in only the owner siphoning off the profits.

Baby lead problems

Problem / Need advice
#1
  • 心配

  • 2024/02/25 18:58

My child's (2 years old) blood test showed that lead was detected or was in high concentration. \The doctor told me that we live in an old house and that the street was very quiet. The doctor asked us if we lived in an old house, and yes, it was very old. But we painted all the rooms ourselves before we moved in, and we don't touch the walls outside the apartment, and if we do, we wash them immediately.
But my thought is when I wash myself, my kids drink the water from the shower. Is that likely to be the cause if the water pipes are old ？ If so, I will immediately switch to a shower with a filter. The first blood test was taken from my finger, and the retest will be directly from my arm, so they will get a more accurate reading.
What if the lead level is still high on the retest ？ I'm very concerned because I did some research and found that it can cause learning problems.

The retest result was negative ！
I was very anxious until I got the results, wondering how such an error could have been made.
However, it was a learning experience for me to know about the lead problem. I don't know where they got my number, but I also got a call from the lead program. Popcorn ceilings are bad for you too. I would never touch the ceiling and I feel like it's not good for my skin, even if it's something normal. But if it's normal, I don't think it's enough to affect the baby.

Hawaii Estimated Tax

Question
#1
  • Mercury

  • 2024/02/24 13:42

I file my own tax return every year using Turbo Tax.
I have already filed for 2023.
The federal Estimated Tax payment amount is automatically calculated and there is a payment voucher, but
the State of Hawaii has you enter the amount yourself and I wasn't sure so I skipped it.
I use Hawaii Tax Online to pay my Hawaii Income Tax, but
If I want to pay my 2024 Estimated Tax, can I decide the amount and pay it myself on Hawaii Tax Online ？ Or, since I did not set the amount of Estimated Tax for 2024 when I filed the 2023 tax return, can I pay the amount of Estimated Tax for 2024?
Thank you very much.

You can decide the amount and pay it yourself.
If possible, we recommend that you divide your 2023 tax amount into four installments and pay them in four installments. If you have paid at least 100% of the previous year's tax amount on a scheduled basis, you will not be penalized even if your 2024 tax amount is higher.
