Please let me know if you know of a day care center in Torrance where I can get temporary care for my children.
The children are a 7 year old boy and a 6 year old girl. They speak English, but would like Japanese language care, and this is a one-time request.
Thank you very much.

Piano Tuner （ Services ・ Support Systems ） ： Yasuhiro Nakajima - Local Information Magazine Lighthouse ： This is an interview with a Japanese piano tuner working in San Diego and Seattle ・ Portland. Mr. Nakajima has an interesting background, having worked as an auto mechanic and then in the trades before jumping into the different field of piano tuning. He talks about his tuning skills and the satisfaction of his job. Unfortunately, he has passed away. It would be faster to ask your piano teacher.

Thank you for your reply.
I am a resident of the WLA area. Since my children have long since grown up, I have no one to play the piano
and I have lost touch with both my piano teacher and the tuner who referred me to you.
Even if I wanted to give up the piano, it has not been tuned for a long time, and
the piano itself has become a burden.
Even if I let it go, I wonder if it would be better to have it tuned.

I just visited a Ramen restaurant on PCH. Smart Final in Redondo Beach.
I love this place because the ramen is very good and the people working there are very nice.
I don't have a problem with the restaurant, I have a problem with the bad manners of the customers. It was a female customer in her 50s. She was there with what I assume was her husband.
The woman said in a loud voice for everyone to hear,
"Waitress girl, you ？ go out of your way to speak English and brag that you can speak English ？ a little better pronunciation and brag 。。。。" Here in America, I was just responding to another customer in English. It is normal to respond in English to customers who speak to you in English.
Why are you saying such mean things ？
Are you venting by saying it ？
And your husband is the one who can't stop it and is listening.

I felt sorry for the child who worked so hard.

I don't know why there are so many Japanese ladies who say things like that.
I wonder why ？.

If anyone knows of a public elementary or junior high school in Kyoto with many foreign students and Japanese language support, please let me know.
Thank you in advance.

I think your question is about a reentry permit （ you can keep your GC even if you are abroad for up to 2 years ）
you can apply for it from the USCIS website without using a lawyer
you can check the form I-131

However, it is now taking over a year to receive a re-entry permit
However, if you apply and complete fingerprinting, you can leave the country （ Some people may not need fingerprinting because the GC's fingerprints will act on their behalf ） You will receive a notification （ or a notification ） that your fingerprints are not required
in 2-3 months, so you can leave the country
Also, re-entry permit is valid for 2 years from the time of application, not 2 years from the time of application . > So it takes a year or more to receive the permit, but it is valid for 2 years after that.

Thank you very much for your kind attention, it is a re-entry permit.
I checked with an attorney in Los Angeles, and it seems that I will have to apply from within the U.S. and have my fingerprints taken a few months later, so I wanted to apply from Guam, which is less expensive considering that I am already in Japan and the round trip is not that expensive.

Usually an electrician's license （ C-10 ) or a construction license （ B-? ). Permits are applied for by visiting the City Hall, not the electric company.
House owners can also apply, but without connections, they will have to wait much longer because they will not be given priority in the paperwork. （ Connections are things like making a large donation to the police or fire department, or being friends with an alderman. In the case of an electrical panel upgrade, the application is completed at City Hall, the electrical work is completed, and after the inspector is called and passes, the electric company is contacted to have the wires installed and the meter installed.

I went to a used bookstore on a weekday when there were few people around,
browsed a bit to buy some books,
then moved on to the manga section.
I'm totally sure the staff is sneaking around checking me out the whole time.
I pretend not to look, but it's so obvious. He must have looked like a shoplifter. But I felt really bad.
Are there others here ？?

Please let me know your opinion.
I lived in the U.S. for 10 years, but my mother asked me to come back to Japan because she was worried about being alone in her old age.
I was single in the U.S. but worked hard.

I was taking care of my mother while working full time back in Japan, but my health started to deteriorate and I realized that I could not continue to work
at the same time, so I quit the company. I was working happily in my new position and was receiving a monthly salary of 250,000 take-home pay.

I looked for a part time job this time, but it is only 100,000 a month since I work 3 times a week.
I am not married so I have to take care of myself in the future and when I was getting 250,000 I was saving 100,000
a month.

I am quitting my job to take care of my parents, so I would like to receive the amount I would receive if I worked 250,000 - 100,000 a month ＝ 150,000 a month from my mother for expenses
but she does not understand. Why do I have to pay
when I don't pay rent and I even pay for her meals ？
? She doesn't think about my life after my mother dies. What will she want me to do
when I'm 60 years old, taking care of her in her current condition?

My mother received an inheritance from my father and has money to spare. But she doesn't want to go into a nursing home.
Is my claim strange ？?

I'm sure there are many cases of suicide due to caregiver exhaustion. "I'm here because I'm looking for some good advice from someone " who is taking care of my parents, but sometimes I get annoyed by useless people who are not involved in my parents' care at all.
My parents are also elderly, and moreover, my father recently found out that he has terminal cancer and temporarily returned home, leaving my mother alone after applying for long-term care insurance while my father was in the hospital. My father has moved to home care
and is still doing well, but I am worried about him and plan to return to Japan temporarily in November to help with his care. So, I am not yet a caregiver, but I will be in the future. Please reply to me as I am very curious to know how you are doing at the moment.

I know I'm late to the party, but I think Topy's point is obvious.
However, I think it is difficult to get your mother's consent.

I am in the same situation as you, my mother lives alone in Japan and has been occasionally taken care of by a nearby relative （ my cousin ）, but due to the progress of her dementia, she started having auditory hallucinations and my relative encouraged her to move in with him, retire from her job and move in with her family. I retired from my job, left my family in the U.S., and started living with my mother by myself. My mother not only does not want to move into a facility for the elderly, she also does not want to go to day care, and recently she does not want to go to the hospital and is a stay-at-home mom. I am in a financially sound situation, but my mother's dementia is gradually progressing, so the emotional burden of living with her is very heavy.
We have been living together for a little over five years, and I am considering separating from my mother in another five years, whether she moves into a facility or not. I think it would be good for you to think about your own life first and then do what you can for your mother.
