Nice to meet you,
Lately, I've been seeing a lot of very cheap men
on the information boards ？
Let me call such men "multipurpose toilet men".
If you are neat, you will have a good encounter.

A stray cat has settled in your friend's yard and she is having trouble with more kittens.
She says that if we don't get the mother cat sterilized, there will be more and more of them but we won't be able to catch them.
Can you please give us information on a welfare organization that can help us catch and sterilize them?
Also, some people have been able to adopt the kittens, but we can't keep up with them.
In California, we were told years ago that we are no kill, but I have heard that this is not the case.
Thank you very much.

The difference in treatment of employees in a Japanese restaurant vs. an American restaurant.

Is there any difference in treatment in Japanese restaurants vs. American restaurants ？

For example, are tips not given during training, or is the hourly wage different between Gardena, Torrance and others

?

Is there no special rule and is it decided by the owner's way?

Please let me know.

I'm thinking of planting western grass seed, but if I just plant it in my garden, will it grow to some extent ？ or is it not that sweet ？ and how dense should the seed be sown ？ when would be a good time to plant ？?

A Japanese driving instructor

This is a complaint about a male instructor at a Japanese driving school in the LA area. I was looking for a driving school in California to get a driver's license, so I searched for one through Vivinavi and took it, but the instructor's arrogant and overbearing attitude from start to finish made me feel very bad. The instructor kept saying things that had nothing to do with the lesson, such as "Oh ！ you would have failed the test if you were like that ！". It was especially unpleasant because we were in a closed room. I regret that I paid for 5 lessons from the beginning. I feel ashamed of myself for having applied for the lessons because I felt comfortable doing so because I was Japanese and could speak Japanese. If anyone reads this, I recommend that you take the first lesson as a trial and check the instructor's human nature before applying for the program so that you will not have a bad experience like I did.

I had a similar experience with a Korean, Japanese-speaking instructor
who signed me up.
I took the course three times. On the first day, I was taught from the position to hold the steering wheel, and after that, the instructor didn't even let me drive the car
on his side ､
I had to brake on my own (since it was a training car, there were brakes and gas pedals on both sides. \He said you need more practice and cancelled the test twice, and the third time he said it was still no good and cancelled the test again and asked me to practice more
I have no more money to pay you ！. You won't even let me drive for you ！ and you're just screwing with me because you want money I told him no, I'll ask my friend to go to the test by myself.
I ended up paying him once ＄ 80 or so, and three times ＄ over 200, and it was like I was throwing money down the drain.
His Japanese is also very subtle with a Korean accent
I don't know if he's saying "change" or "flat".
He was so superior to me and I was paying for the service.
It was really bad!

！ "Oh ！ you would have failed this exam

wouldn't you be thankful?" If you can tell me what's wrong with me.
Especially since driving a car can lead to accidents if you are not careful
Driving properly can be very dangerous.

> I was very offended by the arrogant and overbearing attitude throughout.

So, I guess I didn't appreciate the words

>

"Oh ！ you would have failed the exam if you did that ！".
If it had been just those words, I would have been grateful because I would have known right then and there what I had done to fail the exam.

Well, in a job like this, you have to watch who you are dealing with and be careful with your words.
Some people prefer friendly, while others prefer firm and respectful language.

I had a friendly, joking instructor who made me feel comfortable and relaxed. but if the way he says it is intimidating or kind, it can feel intimidating even if he says the same thing. But it's easy to get a license in the U.S. without taking the trouble to take a course ？.

It's normal, isn't it?

The tip is as small as a dollar, but there are so many Japanese who have the superior attitude that the customer is God. It is shameful.

Are the following sites trustworthy?
https://rental.turbotenant.com/p/3731-artesia-blvd-torrance-ca/1014893
Many places ask for various personal information before viewing and I was concerned about the same here.
I would like to be aware that Scam seems to be rampant, but it would be much more helpful if I could find it online, so I would like your opinion.

End of life, separation

I am in my 70s, but I hear that some people are already preparing for end-of-life planning in their 50s.

In my case, I created a Family Living Trust when I was in my 60s.

We are now considering purchasing a living grave.

One tricky thing is the separation.

This is the only thing that does not go smoothly. I guess it would be better if I just throw it away, but...

My husband has the can't-throw-it-away syndrome, which is compounded by me. The garage is so full of unimportant things that there is no room to step on

. We also have 5 fruit trees in the backyard that are not very big

and the trees are so tall that we have to cut them down on a ladder, but I'm afraid they will fall off the trees one day...

I would like to hear from people who are doing life-supporting activities and decluttering.

Thank you very much.

beloved dog

A year and a half ago
I lost my dog, who I loved like a 2 year old child, in an accident.
I spent every day feeling like I was in hell, that it was all the owner's fault and that it could happen to me.
Even now, that feeling comes back to me every day in a flash.
Finally, finally, I can write this story, but
I don't want to go into too much detail anymore, but
please reply if you feel exactly the same way as I do and can share 100%.
I have not been able to talk to any of my dog lover friends about this for a while now.
I was shocked more than when my parents passed away.
I suddenly feel that humans are emotional creatures and if I can share that with others, I would like to share it here with everyone.

I keep them at home, but they are always with me when I walk them around the neighborhood or let them play in my yard. I don't take them on trails because I don't know if a coyote might attack them in my yard, and I don't want to risk a snake bite. We don't go to the dog park anymore either because of the rare possibility of being attacked by other dogs. After a coyote invaded our yard and we had to evacuate the house in a crisis, we have become more cautious. I can't believe I lost my dog right in front of me.

21
A type of person who rubs salt into wounds with his own imagination.

24
The type who blames parents who lost their children and rubs salt in the wound.

Topi is not swearing, she is feeling remorse.
I don't want people who write posts like 21 and 24 to talk about responsibility.
People who don't understand people's feelings and hurt are really scary.
I imagine overprotective, militant animal rights people who are more overprotective than they need to be.

I am a person who can accept unintentional mistakes and failures as inevitable, so when I meet someone who is very meticulous, punctual, and needs every penny to be separated, I try not to get along with them. I once had lunch with a person who was 5-10 minutes late and whose mood was so obvious that I thought he was impossible to deal with.
I avoid people who cancel or are too loose because they can be pushy.

Yes, it is. It's natural, isn't it? You should look after them properly like #26 before you feel remorse.
If you can't do it, don't keep it. There are too many easy owners who say so.
