現在,ハワイ在住, 2年間の条件付きグリーンカードは有効期限が切れており、I-751（条件解除申請）を提出済みで、現在審査中です。手元には期限切れのグリーンカードと48ヶ月の延長レターがあります。今年4月には、この2つの書類を持って夫と一緒に日本へ3週間渡航し、問題なくハワイへ再入国できました。今回、個人的な事情で1人で日本へ10日間ほど一時帰国したいと考えています。しかし,1人での入国審査に強い不安があります。また、今年2回目の渡航となることで、追加審査や別室での審査になる可能性も心配しています。この状況で1人で日本へ渡航し、問題なく再入国できるのかどうか、、同じような状況でここ最近で1年に数回、日本へ帰国してハワイへ戻られた方いらっしゃいますでしょうか？どんな事を聞かれたか、どんな状況になったか、些細なことでも良いのでお力をお貸し頂けたらと思います。少しでも安心して日本へ一時帰国したいと考えております。どうぞ宜しくお願い致します。

申請状況が投稿者さんと全く同じ状況です。私の場合一人で年に１、２回一時帰国してますが(期間は1ヶ月だったり90日以内の滞在)、期限切れGCとレターを必ず出入国時に持参してイミグレで見せれば大丈夫でしたよ。特に質問もされません。
48ヶ月以内にはやく申請降りて欲しいですよね。。

My mother has dementia. It’s quite severe, and she can’t remember anything for even a minute.
I’m posting this in the hope that anyone with experience living with a mother who has dementia might be able to offer advice or insights. Thank you in advance.

Sunshine,

That friend of yours is a wonderful person. I wonder if I could do something like that...

In our household, it’s the other way around—I’m starting to lose my mind, and sometimes I end up being a burden to my wife.

I “forget” things every now and then, and my wife—who’s a feisty one—gives me a real earful, but

since there’s nothing I can do about it, she puts up with it. She’s a great wife.

友人の奥様が認知症になった時はまだ良い薬がありませんでしたが、今は薬もあるので病院で検査すれば、良い薬を処方して貰えるので進行を大分遅らせる事が出来るはずです。

日本だと高額医療補助があるので金銭的に助かりますが、アメリカの保険がどの程度カバーしてもらえるのか分かりません。
製薬会社の中には、利益をほとんど開発費に投じて作った薬もあるので、高額な物もあります。

友人の息子さん二人が医者で、家族の支えで金銭的には余裕がありました。
アメリカの自己破産の一番の原因は医療費なので、どうにもならない時は自分は日本国籍なので帰国する事も考えています。

しつこい程に様々なサイトから通常の半額くらいのビジネスクラスの航空券の販売を見ます。ある一つのサイトを利用している方がいて、その方曰くまだ詐欺などの被害には遭っていないとのこと。しかしながら、どのような経路でそれらの高額なビジネスクラスの航空券が販売できるのかがわからず、まだ信用できません。高齢になり、最近は二度の旅行も一度に減らしてでも、５時間以上のフライトはビジネスクラスを利用したいです。何故あのような料金でビジネスクラスが販売出来るのか、業界の方がいましたらお知らせください。

マイルを買い取る業者があり、その業者が買い取ったマイルを使ってビジネスクラスを安く利用したい人のビジネスクラス特典航空券を取得、通常のビジネスクラスより安く販売しているものがほとんどです。
航空会社がそれを発見した場合、その航空券は取り消されます。

とあるハワイの会社(日系メディア系)で社員の個人のSNSの利用でアカウントをやめなければ即日解雇と社長の独断でなったそうです。
そのようなことはできる、される、のでしょうか。。。

前提として業務時間中にやっていたわけでもなく、何か不利益になることをしたわけでもないようです。
「24時間会社に忠実にいるべき（気に食わないから）」が理由のようです。。。

そんな昭和な発想の人がいるんですねという感想ですが、、、
もしそういう事例(ヤバイ会社)があったら教えて欲しいなと思い投稿です。
SNSなんて皆やっている時代ですのでね。。。

新患の場合、ファミリードクターの予約を取るのに日にちがかかると聞きました。
ホノルル市内でどれくらい先に予約が取れましたか？
もちろん、ドクターによって違うと思いますが、経験者の方いらっしゃいましたら教えてください。

I just moved to Hawaii and don't have a track record here yet. Please tell me how to find a good place to live.
There are some sketchy websites out there, so if you know of any good real estate agencies, please let me know. ！

If it’s a major U.S. real estate company, you can trust it.

Kelly Williams （ K.W.) and the like.

Are you looking to rent ？ or do you plan to buy? ？

It depends on that.

If you're looking to rent, I think it's best to go with a real estate agency that has close ties to the local community.

I think you should contact the real estate agencies listed in this town guide.

I recently received an item from Amazon that was shipped to me by mistake.
Since I had placed an order very recently and my name was written on the package, I opened it—only to find it was an item I hadn't ordered.
I asked around my neighbors, and no one recognized it, so
I currently have it in my possession. What would you do in this situation? ？
The package contained everyday household items—specifically, bathroom supplies.

I know this might be overthinking things, but since you mentioned that this was a recent order and your name was on the box,
is there any chance that the wrong package was sent? ？
If that’s the case, I’ll contact Amazon to let them know I received the wrong item.
What is the current shipping status of your most recent order? ？

Since there had been an incident in the past where a package intended for another household was delivered to us—
(this is a townhouse)—I asked my neighbors, who seem to shop on Amazon frequently, and “There have been times when items meant for our house ended up at another neighbor’s. If it’s something you didn’t buy, why not just keep it? ？” I’ve been waiting for a response from Amazon since I posted this, but haven’t heard back yet. I appreciate everyone’s opinions. Thank you very much.

A very elderly, single Japanese-American male colleague gave me some natto to put on my pasta—the packages had expired one and two years ago. I suspect he had absolutely no idea they were past their expiration dates. Since he knows my daughter likes natto, I think he just happened to find them in his kitchen and brought them over. Without realizing it, I ended up eating the one that had expired a year ago. It didn’t taste strange, but I suppose I should thank him, right? ？ Of course, it’s probably safer not to mention that it was past its expiration date. ？ Even if I told him it was expired, I think he’d just say something like, “Oh, is that so? Sorry,” and that would be the end of it. But since he’s an older Japanese-American, he’s the type who might hold a grudge if I don’t thank him properly.

If it were me, after thanking them, I’d mention that the expiration date had passed by a year or two.

It might depend on how close Hoshisan and her colleague are.

If he’s married, it might be better to tell his wife.

If you tell someone with dementia or Alzheimer’s, they’ll probably forget right away.

Nana, thank you.
It would be one thing if they were just a little past their expiration date, but one and two years is way too long.
I’ll let them know and thank them.
I’ve been feeling a bit uneasy about this, but now I think I can clear things up. ！

It seems the kitchen drain is clogged, and the water won’t drain. I’ve tried various things—using a long drain snake, pouring in a special drain-cleaning gel, and flushing hot water, baking soda, and vinegar down the drain—but nothing has worked.
If you know of any reliable plumbers, I’d appreciate it if you could let me know. I’m in Torrance, so it would be great if the plumber was in that area.
By the way, this isn’t a regular home—it’s a church kitchen—so the scale might be different. Thank you in advance.

The approach will vary depending on whether only the kitchen is clogged or if the entire building—including the toilet and other areas—is clogged.
If the main sewer line is clogged, everything will be clogged; however, if only the kitchen sink is clogged, it means the section between the main line and the sink is blocked, so I think you can clear it by slowly working a drain snake from the sink side. While a power drain snake can get the job done faster, some people have injured their fingers by getting them caught when using one without gloves, so it might be better for a layperson to use a manual drain snake and take a few hours to clear the blockage slowly. If the main sewer line is blocked, it’s faster to insert the drain snake from the drain grate on the sewer side.

You mentioned a “long snake”—how many feet is it? ？ Commercially available snakes are usually no longer than about 15 feet, right? Since it’s a church, it must be a single-family home. I imagine the clogged section is about 25 feet away. The snake won’t reach that far. You’ll either have to take the plunge and buy a 30-foot snake or call a professional.
