I looked up that you have to declare more than $10,000 cash from Japan, but someone I know said he brought $30,000 before and didn't declare it, is that true ？?

There are people everywhere who mount up. But I try to be careful because I think I may be thought of in the same way.

I'm careful about how I say things because I don't want the other person to think I'm giving them advice even though I didn't mean to.

There are people everywhere who think what people say is nosy or annoying, so I think it's the same.

By the way, I try to reply to any advice with "I see ！ thank you ！". But I decide who I will practice it as advice, like I will listen to Mr. A's advice carefully, but I will go through Mr. B's advice with my heart.

I keep my distance from people who talk about everything.

My mom, who was a resident and knew me from the original, gave me detailed instructions, even down to the vegetables. And if you forget and accidentally buy them, the rest is hard. They don't listen to people, they are not friendly, and they go around telling their mommy friends. I don't care about vegetables ！ I told her I wouldn't let her eat sweets, but if she's giving them to me, it's okay to give them to her once a month.
And then she leaves you out of the group. Insidious, the hierarchical relationship in the housewife's community is like that. It's annoying.

They ask me how my child is ？ and when I answer, they give me advice on this and that, but I know so many people that it is tiring to listen to them because they all say different things, and it is even more tedious when they later ask me if I have tried ？ them. Now when people ask me how my kids are ？, I tell them they are smart and helpful. Like they're so cute. I decided not to tell them because if I complained they would attack me already. LOL!

LA County will make it mandatory to wear masks indoors starting 12/15/22

but when I searched the net, I found that

there were a tremendous number of corona cases after Thanksgiving. I also read an article that from 2023, it will be mandatory to wear masks.

I wonder if this is true ？.

Costco has a large parking lot and there is room for EV charging, but

I guess management is not ready to do that yet.

There is a planned Nijya site on the north side of the Costco I frequent, across the railroad tracks,

and EV charging facilities are already in that parking lot.

Soapy water works well to repel insects. I try to use soap with as few additives （ fragrances, etc. ） as possible.

1. Choose a clean spray bottle or sprayer for your mixture.
2. Mix 1 tablespoon of soap per quart of water, or 4 to 5 tablespoons of soap Make sure to evenly coat infected plants, from top to bottom, for best results. The soap-spray has to come in contact with the insects for it to work.

Which airline do you all buy your tickets to Japan from ？ I checked with the Japanese airlines, but Expedia is more than $300 cheaper. （ Ticket changes are not allowed ）
But since I have only ever purchased from Japanese airlines, I am worried about problems and reliability.　
But nowadays, all tickets are e-tickets and payment is made by credit card and online, so I wonder if the credibility is the same

I also use Expedia to purchase airline tickets all the time.
A while ago, I had to cancel a domestic trip due to a family member's sudden illness.
I was able to use the chat function to process the cancellation and everything else without having to call customer service.
Although it was a chat function, the person who responded to me was also very nice.

I've never seen expiration dates on vegetables. There's no way they label each and every potato or onion with an expiration date.　What are you talking about? ？

Are you talking about the eggplants and cucumbers in plastic containers that are wrapped and sold? ？
