I wonder if anyone else has the same problem... I thought I would start a topic.

I have been coming to the US for about 20 years.
I did not come here because I wanted to, but because of my partner's situation.
Everyone has different reasons for coming to the U.S., and they may have different reasons, such as study, work, pursuing a dream, etc.
I think it is more like a dream. I didn't come to the U.S. with a positive attitude, and I still suffer from stress and anxiety and think about Japan.
Since I have spent every day in such a negative way, my English has not improved because I keep running away from it, and I continue to have a strange feeling of discomfort, as if I have missed the opportunity to get used to a very normal daily life.

Is there anyone else in my situation?

You sound proud because you don't have a green card ?
You sound proud because you don't have money ?
You feel proud because you don't speak English ?

People with a strong need for approval will compete on their own ?
You don't have to compare every single thing ?
Everyone has their own good qualities.

I don't get involved with losers who have a strong need for approval because it's too much trouble

On Facebook, there was a guy who got a green card after getting married who took a picture of his green card and bragged about it
If you got a green card because of your skills, you can brag about it, but only people who got married or won a lottery brag about it
For people who are not interested in green cards, it's nothing to be jealous of. ? I don't think people who think they are jealous are jealous because they want a green card ?.

The old man doesn't have a word of advice, but he's always out there to give people crap. Be careful on the train, though. It doesn't go through very nice places.
I'd still prefer to take an Uber or something for safety.

Mr. Health Oriented
runny nose, mild throat oddities, i.e., in the early stages. I take my favorite of the supplements and go to bed for 2 hours.
When I woke up, I was cured and refreshed ! ! Experienced this on a trip to Japan in October.
I tried to sleep when I wanted to due to jet lag.
Everyone in Japan wears masks, I had long since gotten rid of mine in the US and hated the hassle.
For some reason, I have a bad cold once or twice a year (which takes a month to heal) and have not had a cold since 2020, when the corona epidemic started. I've been living my life with a good amount of masks and seeing people normally. He has stopped getting the vaccine after only two doses.
It really depends on the person.
Also, this is off-topic, but Seirogan is our family's one-shot cure-all for diarrhea.
It also helps with colds ? 🤔I'm sure it has licorice in it so it gives the body energy.
And my other 1-shot effect, my regular medicine is 🎉jaja~n
propolis.
This is a natural antibiotech and in ancient times sailors used to keep it handy.
When I use it, it is not a chronic disease, but once in 3 or 4 months, I have a bad pain like a nerve pain that tingles in my body
I just take one propolis tablet and I am cured in one shot.
It is also effective enough with the cheapest vitamin shoppe brand tablets in the vitamin shop (chain stores).
I think that the herpes bacteria resides in my body and comes out when I get tired ?.
I hope this helps 😊.

Thank you very much for introducing medicines for diverse diseases.

It may or may not work for some people, but it is all nodding my head.

This sounds like something I would write on a topic in my 70s, but unlike people who commute to work and school,

I have plenty of time, so I always try to do simple exercises

to avoid carrying colds and body problems on my back.

And the same goes for "eat and burn".

I can't remember how long ago I last had a cold.

I've been getting so many invitations to medicare plans every day this year
12 / 7 is the deadline to apply for medicare advantage, but I'm still confused.
I have medicare A&B and I am comfortable enough with military Tricare Life as my secondly insurance. But I heard in a previous post by Baikinman that the Medicare Advantage plan offers free fitness and gym ? and I'm still thinking about joining
I don't need a vision plan, hearing, or dental now, and I get my meds free with Military Famacy. ?
By the way, do they charge extra for this advantage plan ?
I guess I should call them tomorrow and ask.

You should stop with Advantage. Medicare is now cracking down on its bad business practices and advertising methods.
For example, $ they sing about 0 premium, but in reality, only about 10% of people get 0. They put up scores that say "this" and "that," but they are inevitable for low-income people, and they sing as if it is unique to their Plan. So from now on, Medicare will check the ads and only allow commercials that they approve to run. In fact, if you look at the commercials now, ( they don't always say ) 0.
To begin with, Advantage is abandoning Medicare and giving yourself over to a private insurance company. The private sector is only interested in profit. They may do well when you are well, but when you start to get sick, they will do this and that, just like an HMO. If you leave it to Medicare, you don't have to.
I recommend Medigap ( Supplement ) if you buy it. It also comes with a free gym membership. You will never be denied the medical care you need. You can go anywhere, like a PPO, and you don't need permission to go to Specialist.
Insurance companies want to sell Adavantage, so they are pushing it by giving more commissions to Agents. And once you are in, you can't go back to Medicare for the rest of your life, almost.
If you have a Military Plan, stay with it. I wrote this at length to see if it would help others.

This of course continues even after he becomes a Senior, so it is vital to stay in close contact with the Veterans Administrations.

My understanding is that the original medecare is public and medecare advantage is private.
I have been on medecare advantage from the beginning, so I have never used the original medecare, but I have never felt inconvenienced by it. Medicines are also covered. I feel that the service is good since it is privately owned. Like the gym.

3 nights in hospital ・ I had surgery ( HMO ) and they did not cut corners on treatment. I had a full exam, including an MRI, and then surgery.
The hospital billed the insurance company $150,000, and I got a report that the insurance company actually paid the hospital $30,000, but I never received any bill.

They can change it this time of year every year, although it won't be necessary this year anymore. It's pretty complicated, so you should talk to your insurance company about it.

Postal conditions from Japan to the U.S.

Question
#1
  • leconte
  • mail

The previous topic is gone, so I will start a new one and ask.

From last year to the first few months of this year, I was able to send a sealed letter from Japan to Southern CA by regular mail for 110 yen.
However, for a while after that, the arrival was terribly slow.
So I looked into it and found that using international EMS would be faster, so I did that.
Recently, however, I sent a letter to Southern CA again by international EMS, and it was untraceable until it left LA customs !
It has been missing for over a month now ! !

Meanwhile, a letter sent by regular mail to the East Coast on the other hand, the one I sent by regular mail to the east coast took about two weeks to arrive.
I was upset because it was an important document and I had to contact them several times.
It was a public document and the agency did not accept emails ….

After all, is the postal situation in Southern CA ( especially to LA jurisdiction ) bad ?
At any rate, I think regular mail to the East Coast will arrive, even if it takes longer.
I thought I would ask because I was worried that the sealed letter I sent out yesterday would arrive in two weeks.
