I am a parent in my 70s.

Fortunately, all three of us are in good health, and we try to be as close to our children as possible so that the atmosphere in our home does not become

awkward.

In the past, I used to give my children a lot of attention about work, etc.

At that time, I had a hard time because my children were upset with me.

If any of you （ unemployed, 40 ～ in your 50s ） living with your parents,

how are you doing,

Some people who do it privately are drifters, take the money and run away to Japan or hide in the clouds. There are many people who have been in America for a long time who have been cheated.

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.

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.

Minimums vary by City, so it is not surprising that the salaries in Torrance and Gardena are lower than in LA.
Minimums also vary depending on the number of employees.

As for the hourly wage, as ＃ 2 mentioned, the minimum hourly wage varies by city and county, and Torrance and Gardena are not LA cities, so the LA County minimum hourly wage is applied. And in reality, many restaurants apply the minimum hourly wage to servers regardless of whether they are Japanese or not. （ Because of tips ？ ）

, but servers in non-Japanese American （ ？ ） restaurants feel that the tips from the customers they serve are theirs, while in Japanese American restaurants, everyone serves the customers they serve. Some places allocate all the tips to each of them, but I think most of the small Japanese American restaurants （ except Benihana, Katana, etc. ） in that area also allocate tips to the people in the kitchens. （ The kitchen staff's share is lower than that of servers ）

I don't recall any regulation on this practice, so I think it is decided by each restaurant.

If you are asking a question like the one you are asking, it seems that you don't think the way Japanese-affiliated restaurants do things is good. If that is the case, it would be better for you to work in a non-Japanese American restaurant outside of Asia. However, I have heard that there are often "tip wars" in such restaurants, so please consider which is better for you.

A Japanese driving instructor

Housing
#1
  • Llll
  • mail
  • 2022/10/26 23:22

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.

Even in Japan, many car instructors are pompous, uptight, and have a bad attitude. The manager of the store where I worked part-time had a wife and child but didn't have a car license.
It wasn't like he was so poor that he couldn't afford a car, but later I heard that he had a fight with the instructor at the driving school and decided not to get a license.　I guess he thinks he's a paying customer and that's what keeps you guys fed.
Well, that's true, but if they thought we were paying them to teach us properly, they might not even fight with us.

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.

If you store them in boxes or clear plastic boxes,
write down what you put in them and put them on the box for easy identification.
It is easy to see even if they are stacked in a closet.
If you have a computer, you can write
living room, bedroom, closet and other storage locations in Excel, etc.
Write the contents and make a list
so you can open Excel and see where the items you need are stored. It is convenient to know where the needed items are stored as soon as you open the Excel file.
