I am retired and have no job. The children are all on their own and seem to be safe and sound, and I haven't heard from them.
My old dog passed away at the age of 18. I am bored and bored.

Are you a tropical fish breeder in the U.S.A.?
If you have the following information, please advise me.

・ Please tell us what kind of conditioner you use to remove calcium from the water.
In Japan, we used tap water with Eheim 4 in 1.
I often hear that the water in the U.S. is hard water and the water in Silicon Valley is not undrinkable, but I hear that it is hard water in Kanto and I can't quite grasp the image.

・ I think I will install a heater for the aquarium tank in winter, but is it OK to use a Japanese one as it is?
Would it be better to procure one locally?

・ I found Petsmart as an aqua store, but is there any other aqua stores?

My first choice is to work for a semiconductor company in the U.S. ( I have experience working in both Japan and the U.S. ),
Can you recommend a recruitment agency for engineers living in the U.S. ?
? I've heard that there are various companies that are strong in engineering and those that are not.
Thank you very much.

Nice to meet you. I will be relocating to Silicon Valley this year.
I will be bringing my high school child with me and would like to find a home in Santa Clara.
I have seen the levels and racial composition at Great Schools, but
do you know anything about the atmosphere and recommendations for Santa Clara High School ・ or Wilcox High School
?
Also, if you can recommend any other school districts, I would appreciate it.
My child would like a school that is not too high-level ・ and not too racially polarized.
Thank you very much !

Let's put it in wherever we can, and then we'll decide when we know the language.

I have consulted with two companies, but both were more expensive than I expected, and I would like to hear from people who have actually had their hair removed in the U.S.
I would appreciate any recommendations. If you have any recommendations, I would appreciate it if you could let me know.

I will be moving to Concord soon. I don't think there is a site like Vivinavi for that neighborhood, but I guess I will use the San Jose site ? For those who live in Concord or Walnut Creek neighborhood, how do you exchange information or otherwise ??

Kiki, thank you for your reply. I was so busy that I neglected to check the box. Sorry about that.

It's great to hear that you responded to the call for applications, Kiki. If it is not too far away, I would be happy to have a chat with you once in a while at a cafe or something. My oldest son lives with me and works remotely on weekdays, so I can't invite him to my house. My email address is : totorokotokoto@yahoo.co.jp:です. Please do ^ ^

( My age is 74, which is close to old age? I am not a young person. I lived in SJ for a long time and I know people who still live there, but they are all old and some have moved away, so I really feel like I am all alone. I really wanted to live in SJ, but here I am. )

I think I am the one who asked for an interpreter after reading other people's topics. I had a cold and was absent for a while. I am just now finally getting comfortable, but I can't quite get back to normal. I will contact you again. I'll post a note here in the meantime.

traffic accident

I am having trouble with a $35,000 claim for a car accident I caused a year ago. It was a rental car and I had property damage insurance on the main unit, but I caused the accident when I removed the liability. The other driver's car had a little dent near one door, but I don't think it would cost this much because the original car was old and beat up. However, there is a note that it includes the administration fee and defense fee.
No one was injured at the time of the accident.
I often hear about whiplash later on, but … I don't know about that fact at this point.
The other party was an elderly Korean couple.
We are still new to the US and can't hide our impatience at this sudden situation.
Please, anyone can give us some advice.
I guess we should find a lawyer first ?.

Thanks for writing. I wanted to reply, but it was like sending an email and I'm not sure how Vivinavi works, so I'll leave it here.
We did not have Liability, but had insurance on the rental car itself. The receptionist told me Liability was optional. That's not right either. This is a rental company with quite a lot of stores. We did not call Police. We had just come to the US and had an accident and were panicking.
The other driver was from Korea, but I don't know if he was in a hurry or what, but we didn't call them.
I have looked into credit card insurance and company insurance that would cover this accident, but I seem to be at a loss. We are still in the process of negotiating the amount.
Thank you for taking the time to comment.

About having a cat though I go back to Japan temporarily every year.

Greetings

I am posting because I am wondering about keeping a cat in the U.S. and was wondering if anyone currently has one or is familiar with the information.

I would like to have a cat, but I go back to Japan temporarily for 2 weeks every year.
I had not actually planned to have a pet, thinking about the furlough, but
I have always wanted to live with a cat, and now that my son has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and I know that living with a cat would have a very positive effect on him, I am seriously considering getting a cat now.
Most importantly, my son also loves cats.

What do cat owners do when they leave their homes for long periods of time? ?

If you have left your cat with someone you know, please let us know if there are any precautions or problems that have occurred.
If you have ever stayed at a pet hotel, please let us know the location and the rate ( I have looked at various websites, but many of them do not know the rate … I have the impression that there are not many hotels to begin with )
If you are looking for a hotel in BibiNavi, please let us know the daily rate. …

I would like to be well prepared to pick up a guest, but I have little information about what to do if I am away from home for a long time …
By the way, my house is a townhouse (. I don't know if this is relevant, but … )

If anyone has any information, I would appreciate it.

Maki, thank you very much for the useful information. I didn't know that there was an option to call home, so this was very helpful. It is really helpful that you wrote down the specifics … such as camera installation, market rates, and how often to call a cat sitter. I see that the pet hotel is in a cage. I didn't know much about the actual situation and didn't know that it could be a bad place for cats. Thank you for telling us.
I really appreciate that Maki, who actually had a cat, told us in detail how she did it when she went back to Japan temporarily. It gave me a concrete image of what to prepare and research, and was very helpful. Thank you so much !

Hello, I am a grandmother in my 70's and have been unable to work for a long time due to health problems. I see that there is such a thing as cat-sitting. I can drive and it wouldn't take much physical strength. I've never had a cat but I don't dislike cats, so I would like to do it for about 1 ~ 2 hours for a Japanese family. I'm glad I found your article very informative. I wrote to thank you for your help.

Hi, I have a cat that I brought from Japan.
I leave him at my friend's house when I travel or go back to Japan temporarily. When my friend is traveling, I take care of my friend's cat. I don't receive any fee from my friend because we both have the same cat. We only exchange souvenirs.
If you are traveling for 2 nights, you can leave your cat at home if you prepare more water and food, and if possible, two toilets.

When leaving your cat at a friend's house, you need to be careful that
① the cat is spayed or neutered ( cats have a 100% pregnancy rate after mating )
② you also bring a toilet ( that has your scent on it
③ Have your nails clipped ( It's quite scary to clip someone else's cat's nails )
④ Have a room or cage where your friend's cat can be alone and safe for the first few days.
A collapsible cloth gauge called a pet tent is useful.

Also, it is important that the cats are compatible with each other.
If the owner agrees, you can leave the cat with the owner for a few days as a trial to see if they are compatible.
However, they will probably be intimidated for the first few days, but you may be able to see if they are just playing with each other or if they are fighting so hard that they could injure each other.

Cat sitting is great to have a familiar home environment, but
if you ask for about an hour a day, the other 23 hours may be lonely because of the solitude.
We have heard stories of people who have become so lonely that they have started roughhousing in bed during readable trips.

Leaving her at a friend's house is not without stress ・ ・ ・

I hope you can find a cat friend near you ^ ^
I live in Foster City. I live in Foster City, but if you're nearby, I can take care of him for you.

By the way, townhouses have stairs, so it's a good environment for cats to get up and down exercise.

Charles, thank you very much for your very detailed information on leaving your friend at home. It was really helpful for you to write down exactly what to be careful of and what to prepare. Thank you also for your kindness to offer to take care of our child for 2 nights !
We will not ask you to do so because we are a little far away, but we are very happy that you are kind enough to offer to take care of him for us! I am very glad to hear your kind offer to keep the cat. I didn't know that townhouses have stairs and are a good environment for cats, so it made me feel very comfortable to pick up a cat. Thank you very much for everything !.

Like Charles, I also take care of my friend and hers. However, in our case, we go back and forth because our cats do not like to leave each other's homes,(恐怖い).
We live here in San Jose, so if you are in the area, please contact us.
