What about popcorn ceilings, which I hear are also related to health 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.

A store called "Bead It" on 11th in Kaimuki
will fix it for you.
I asked them to do it once and they fixed it beautifully.

Dear Hawaii Cat Aaru

I have been there. Thank you.
I see that they also do alterations. I will consult with them
as I'm sure they have their own costs.

Good evening.
I suddenly got boils on my legs and I showed my home doctor
a picture of them and he said they were bed bugs.
I was really surprised because it was my first time and I got rid of the bed bug and
it went away immediately with steroid ointment.

It looked like a pimple and it happened so suddenly
I thought maybe it was the same thing.

I searched around and found that they are often found in beds in both Japan and the US, so
be careful.

Thanks for your reply.
Is it a bed bug ！ I hadn't thought of that idea. I have an image that bedbugs tend to bite soft parts of the body and if they bite you, they itch enough to scratch you, but I don't itch and I don't see any bite marks on my body. By the way, I also looked at the bed, but could not find any bugs. However, I thought I would try applying the steroid ointment I have once. Thank you for sharing your precious experience.

When I was in my late twenties, I started to get acne around my chin due to hormonal imbalance. （ At that time I was living in Japan and had irregular menstruation and visited a Japanese doctor. ） A hormone test showed a high male hormone level, and the doctor explained to me that when a woman's male hormone level increases, the amount of sebum increases in areas where men grow beards, such as around the chin and mouth, making it easier for acne to appear. After that, I tried various skin care products, but they had no effect at all. When I started taking pills, my acne completely disappeared. I have heard that the pill is not recommended for people in their 40s because the risk of blood clots increases, so I am not sure if the pill would be a good solution for you, sakura. However, since you seem to think that the acne is caused by hormones, I think it would be better to see a gynecologist instead of a dermatologist. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Thank you for your reply. And thank you for your kind words. It sounds like it would be a good idea to have my hormone levels checked once by a gynecologist instead of a dermatologist. I have many ideas, so I will see a gynecologist. Thank you for sharing your valuable experience.

Since there seems to be no information from anyone

In the U.S., where demand for cars is high, "leasing" is more popular than in Japan. Leasing a car, which is also common in Hawaii, is a system similar to renting a car for a long period of time, where you only pay for the depreciation, or the period of time you lease the car within the price of that car.

The lease term is usually 3 to 5 years, depending on how long you plan to stay in Hawaii as an exchange student.

You will need a driver's license, SSN （ Social Security Number ）, and credit history in the U.S. You are also required to have insurance. Insurance is also required. There are agencies in Honolulu that can help you purchase insurance for Japanese people.

Another is a car share called HUI.

To car share,
first create an account on their website,
reservations are made through the app （ free ）

・ 19 years or older with a US license ・ 25 years old or older with international driver's license
・ 18 months or more since obtaining driver's license
Less than 3 minor violations within 18 months
・
・ No serious violations in the past 3 years

Insurance and gasoline included

$12.00 per hour
$125.00 per day

You can rent a car at Ala Moana, airport, Kaimuki, Waikiki, etc.

I don't think it's possible to lease to an international student, do you have Social Security ＃ ？

If not, it's not possible.

rak,

Yes ～, then you may have done all you can.
As I mentioned before, if your router has LEDs, you may be able to get some idea of what is going on by looking at the blinking LEDs. It would also be useful to explain the situation to the provider.

It is also possible that there is an internet outage all around your home
In that case, you will get a good WiFi signal on your phone or PC （ but no internet connection ）.

I'm not sure if the problem is due to bad weather ？
We recently replaced our router with a newer one, but the last few days have not been good. It is very common to suddenly lose connection during hurricane season, heavy rain, or strong winds. It is a common occurrence in Hawaii.

In the end, we had a contractor come and update the router to fix the problem. Before calling the vendor, I noticed that the phone line was also ruined.

It's true that Hawaii's bad weather only makes the connection worse!

It's not the weather. It's just a system problem.

If you don't update your system, it will become unusable one day.

The TV screen, email, etc. will tell you that the Internet will be unavailable for
this time on this day because of the update. You will receive a message saying
.

Maybe the update did not work.

Weather will not cause equipment malfunction.

All are system problems.

I think there is a way to contact Animal Control Services and send a consultative email to
your regional rep. It would be a good idea to take some action.

I have consulted with the Humane Society before for similar advice. I was told that they would loan me a trap and I would set it up and capture the animal myself. I was told that I would be neutered once captured and then released in the same place, and I gave up because that would not be a solution.
I know this is not helpful at all, but I shared it as information.

We have a similar person in our townhouse
"I feed the cats, but I don't keep them.
But stop excluding the cats."
and some people have trouble with that.
Finally, we all complained
to the area manager about the feces and meowing, and
all but a few were taken in by the humane society.

You should check if the medicine can be sent by mail.
Some medicines can be brought in directly depending on their ingredients,
some require a doctor's prescription, and
some medicines cannot be brought in depending on the country.

Even over-the-counter drugs commonly sold in Japan may not be approved by the U.S. FDA without checking the details of their ingredients. If a foreigner is staying in the U.S. for a short period of time, he/she may bring a 90-day supply of the drug into the U.S. ） even if it is not （ FDA-approved. The reference URL is as follows.

However, it is possible that the contents of the mail may be confiscated by customs just because it is a medicine. However, it is possible that the contents of the invoice will be confiscated at customs inspection. However, if it is a so-called supplements, it may be OK. I imported Taisho Kampo gastrointestinal medicine from Japan under the name of supplements.
Therefore, the following four methods are recommended.
1 ． Check the details of the ingredients of the medicine used in Japan （ You can usually find it on the internet. ） and look for over-the-counter drugs in the U.S. that contain those same ingredients.
2 ． If you can't find the same thing, try an over-the-counter drug in the US that contains the main ingredient of that drug.
3 ． Give the doctor details （ of the drug's ingredients in English ） and ask for a prescription for a drug with similar effects.
4 ． Try to import it from Japan under the name of supplements. （ The possibility of confiscation at customs will be great. ）
