Little Tokyo Village parking lot clearing machine

Question

Last month, I used the Little Tokyo Village parking lot （ the one with the entrance facing San Pedro ）.
I was told that I would receive 4 validations from the bank and that they would be valid all day, but after running a few errands, I returned to my car and headed for the exit in probably less than 2 hours.

The problem is this exit checkout machine.

First, it asked me to put in a validation, so I did. It didn't look like a high-tech machine that would allow me to put several tickets on top of each other, so I put in only one of the four tickets.
Next, it asks me to put in a ticket. I did. I did so ＄ It displayed 9 payments.
There is no button to cancel and no response when I press the button to call an attendant.
In the meantime, the ticket was reversed and returned, but one validation was taken away.
I called the number printed on the ticket and was told to move to the next lane, which was very difficult for me because it was narrow, curved, and uphill. I was finally released after having that thing lifted.

Now, this is a long explanation, but what is the correct way to pay if there are multiple validation cards in the machine here ？

I vaguely remember many years ago, when I tried to pay in advance at the machine on the first floor, the machine was also I remember that the machine was very difficult to use and it was not easy to use. I had assumed that the pre-payment system itself no longer existed, since the machine was no longer there. I later found out that the machine is still in another location.

Please let me know if you know how to use the multiple validation system.
Thank you very much.

Does anyone know of a good dermatologist in the Torrance area or elsewhere ？
I have an itchy, blistering eczema on the palms of my hands. I have been to several doctors, but they only prescribed steroidal ointments, which gradually stopped working, and now I am resorting to Chinese herbal medicine, but there is not much improvement. I would appreciate any advice from anyone who has had similar experiences.

Sex Education for Children

Problem / Need advice
#1

  • 2022/10/06 21:16

I have a son who is currently in 6th grade.
He started middle school in September.

We thought he is still a child, but we found a history of him searching adult videos on his I Pad.
However, I am sure that he was still not sure about it, and he was also searching if he needed to do something to make a baby.
We have not restricted adult content on I Pad until now, but is it necessary to do so ？
At 12 years old, he will learn a lot of things, and I wonder if it would be wrong to restrict him ・ ・ ・.
I think he had a few days of sex education class at the end of 5th grade, but he probably doesn't understand it at all yet.
In middle school, I have the feeling that he heard about and investigated various things from friends and older children, but do I need to take any action from my parents?

I have restricted adult content on my PAD for now, but I'm not sure if I should really leave it open for viewing ・ ・ ・
He's my son, so I'd rather leave some things to his father rather than his mother saying this and that ！ ？
Is there anything the mother can do now?
I would appreciate your advice.

Moving to another state after divorce (with joint custody)

Daily life

  • 離婚後

I have a question about moving to another state after divorce.
If a divorce is finalized in California and both ex-husbands and ex-wives share joint custody, and if both exes move to different states, will the rules of the joint custody arrangement, etc., apply in California where the divorce was finalized until adulthood? If so, will the rules of the joint custody arrangement, etc. be the same in California where the divorce was finalized until adulthood?

In the U.S., family laws seem to differ greatly from state to state, so in the unlikely event that the state to which the other party moves is more favorable to the other party, it would be disadvantageous if the rules in California are no longer applicable.

If anyone knows the situation, please let me know.

To buy yen now

Question
#1
  • レート
  • 2022/09/28 13:30

Since the yen is weak now, I would like to buy yen.
It is not for future use in Japan, but I will change it back to dollars when the yen depreciation subsides.

I was thinking of sending money in dollars to my family's bank in Japan and having it land in yen, but
Is there an easier way to do that ？ especially since I won't be withdrawing Japanese yen, I don't think it is necessary to actually cross the country.
For example, buying yen with dollars in an American bank, or setting up an FX account ？ or a brokerage account ？ and so on. Is there anything ？

I am too much of an amateur, but I would appreciate it if someone could help me.

Old age in Japan or the U.S. ？.

End of life, but which is better ？

I've heard that in the U.S. it's hard to have that kind of money, that you need more than $1 million over 10 years to be miserable in a nursing home. So if you move in when you are in your 70s and live to be 90, you would need $2 million.
On the other hand, in Japan, if you have 50 million yen for 10 years, they will take care of you in a decent place. 100 million yen for 20 years.

The current view is to be based in the U.S. until you have some freedom to move around, and then sell to Japan.

The food would be better than the US facility, and since all the kids are back in Japan, they would come to see us once in a while.
What do you all think?

I retired at 55. I will receive a pension from Japan starting next month and from the U.S. next year I will receive a pension from the U.S. I am 61 years old.
90% of my assets are in the US. I have a residence in Japan and live in both.

What are your candid thoughts?

I don't want others to decide for me.

This kind of topic itself may be a way to say that you are different from others here.

In my case, both of my children were born here, and when they were in elementary school, I decided to move here permanently because I thought that returning to Japan would cause them a lot of pain.

At that point, I decided to bury my bones here, without thinking of returning to Japan to lead an elegant life in my old age.

Therefore, the thought of "Japan or the U.S. ？ in my old age" has never occurred to me. I feel nostalgia for the time when I was born and raised in Japan, so I make a trip to Japan once a year to see old friends and to visit rural areas with unique Japanese nature to heal my mind. I am only doing this after I have made enough money in this area.

I guess in life, those who have made a fortune are the ones who win.

I have about 10 more years to go, and if money is not a problem, I would like to return to Japan completely as I can stand the intense heat. Like #10, I no longer find American life attractive.
I am tired of trying to like a country I don't like.

In the U.S., so-called "endowments" are all over the map, depending on the amount of money they cost. Of course, I think it is the same in Japan, but as a matter of fact, I think there is a problem with Kiri in the U.S.
My husband was seriously injured and had an operation at Kaiser, and for his rehabilitation, he was sent to a place that was also an endowment ？. The rehabilitation center and the endowment ward were separated, but when he went to the rehabilitation ward, he had to go through a passageway in front of the endowment. In that corridor, elderly people, probably with dementia, were lined up in the corridor, sitting in wheelchairs with belts preventing them from standing on their own. I think it is because they might be in danger of falling down if they stand up on their own, and also because they might not be able to go anywhere on their own.　But there were 7 ～ 8 such elderly people in wheelchairs sitting with the backs of their wheelchairs against the wall in the hallway.

My husband was supposed to stay at that facility for two months. I walked past it every day on my way to my husband's hospital room. Old men would reach out to me and talk to me. In non-sentence English 。。。。 I didn't know them at first, but I couldn't help but look at them while my husband was doing his rehabilitation because the rehabilitation room was near there. I observed that the nurse would come to give them medicine when it was time to go. They all had to go to the bathroom at the same time. Those who could eat by themselves were taken to a place like a cafeteria for lunch. Those who could eat by themselves were taken to a place like a cafeteria, and those with limited mobility were fed by the nurses. There seemed to be a routine for the elderly in wheelchairs. The nurses seemed to be performing their tasks rather than taking care of them. I was very scared as we passed by these wheelchair-bound old men. The nurses would not even look at the old men when they reached out and complained about something. They just seemed to be doing their job, giving him his medicine when it was time to take it, and so on. I wonder if the family knows about this kind of thing.

I thought to myself, "If I am going to be in a nursing home, it should definitely be in Japan. At the very least, I felt that I would be taken care of in a more compassionate way. But it's in Japan.... ？
Of course, there are places in the U.S. where you can get better care if you pay a lot of money, but
I have seen such a chilling experience that it is still burned in my mind.
After 3 weeks I couldn't stand the situation and Kaiser switched me to another care facility that only does rehab...

In the U.S., unlike Japan, tickets are not cancelled due to poor maintenance, so
no matter how broken the car is, as long as it is registered, you can drive with peace of mind.

I was driving in the car I had before I replaced it with the car I drive now
when I was stopped by a police car because the brake light in the back was not working and was broken.

I thought the polis was driving without insurance because the car was older than the brake light
He asked me for my vehicle insurance, so I showed him my vehicle insurance certificate and he got away with a $20 ticket.
