It is reassuring to be referred by someone you know, but there is a drawback that makes it difficult to refuse that person.
If he/she comes to your house, it is scary unless you trust him/her to some extent, but with online tutors, you can go to https://tutor.com/で経歴を見て探してもいいと思います.

I heard that in the U.S., people sometimes give gifts to teachers. I wonder when they give them ？ Christmas ？.

I have given them thank you gifts at the end of the semester, and I have given them simple gifts while they were in personal interviews.
I have given gift cards and chocolates. Just a card with a handwritten message would be fine.
There is no need to give a gift.

At my children's school, gifts were often given at Christmas, teachers' birthdays, teachers' appreciation week (or the last day of the school year). Gift cards, chocolates, and gift cards in amounts ranging from $ 10 to $ 50, depending on the parent/guardian.

In elementary schools in California, at the beginning of the school year, there was a room parent, or room mom, or someone like ？ who was in charge of organizing the parents in the class, and the parents would send a kind of information including the teacher's birthday and a list of their favorite things, but I just moved to Texas, and I'm not sure if that is the custom here. I don't know if that is the custom here or not. Maybe if I ask the teachers they will tell me, but I'm not sure.

Are there any rules for children's birthday parties different from those in Japan ？
Is it necessary to give an invitation card and a souvenir at the end of the party ？?

I'm not familiar with the process, but I believe it is the same process as with my car, and the insurance company gets paid for the repairs, and you are responsible for any shortfall. It depends on the terms of the lease, so ask before you rent.

I am looking for someone to purchase a vintage fan from an antique store in Dallas and ship it to Japan on my behalf.
I asked the store to ship the fan to Japan, but they said they could not do so.
I really want to buy this fan, so I am waiting to hear from someone who can handle it.

We are thinking of paying around $ 100 for the person who responds.
The size of the fan would be about 58" tall and 30lb in weight.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

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.

After my friend retired, his wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
In the early stages, there weren’t many problems, but as the disease progressed, she began wandering around the neighborhood and was taken in by the police several times, so we installed an interior lock on the door to prevent her from going out alone.

Eventually, she lost control of her bladder and bowels, so he had to put her in diapers and, when she soiled herself, carry her to the bathtub to wash her. It looked so difficult that I suggested he place her in a care facility, but but no matter how advanced his dementia was, there were times when he would return to his normal self. He feared we had abandoned him during those moments, and if we placed him in a facility, he would likely pass away within a few months to a year. So he refused to listen, insisting he wanted to care for him himself and see him off.
After that, he had a nursing bed installed at home through his insurance provider, Kaiser, and would go over to help whenever he needed assistance.

I’d sent four children to college, so I had no financial leeway and was constantly working.
Since I’d left everything related to the children and the household to my wife, and hadn’t really repaid her for all she’d done, I told her I’d do everything I could to care for her. A few years later, my wife passed away.
Watching her, it seemed less like she was truly alive and more like she was simply being kept alive; when she passed away, he said he had no regrets because he’d done everything he could, but I felt that I could never do the same.

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。。。

その会社は違法行為ですね。

SNSをしてるからと言って、解雇をする事は違法行為ですね。

強行しようとするなら、弁護士さんにご相談された方が良いですね。

今年新患でファミリードクターの予約を取られた方がいましたら教えてください。

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。
