Since I live in California, I thought it would be fun to start a new hobby, gold dusting. My question is, do you know of any places in OC where I can pick up gold dust ？?

If it is mixed with sand, that sand must be washed away with water to be found.

Hi ！ I have a question to ask for the wisdom of someone who is good at DYI.

If the surface of a table or desk has become bumpy due to deterioration, I would sand it and apply some sort of varnish, but I am looking for a way to avoid a sticky surface after completion.

I can't say it well, but I want to avoid a situation where the paper sticks to the surface when I put it down to write, or the paint temporarily sticks to each other.

I wish I could lay something down, but it is difficult to find a material that is perfect and easy to work with.

If you have any information on how and what to use, please let me know 🙏

Any other ideas are welcome.

Right now I just want to get the surface of the coffee table clean and ready for study.

Thank you very much.

Usually when you buy a product,
if you are not sure about the product, you ask the person working at the counter or
you read the message on the product and buy it.

Of course I will ask on the sales floor. But they recommended something not for furniture. At the time I bought it as I was told. So I asked here. When I go to a home center, I have my own place and I think I have some knowledge, but sometimes there are some who do not.

Thank you for the detailed and specific advice, ignorant ！ I will be careful when I apply it.

pooske, thanks for even linking to the product ！ I forgot about Youtube. I would like to buy it on homedepot.

thank you very much ！

It seems that if you apply a thick coat at once, the inside of the coating does not dry out and becomes sticky.
The trick seems to be to apply thin coats and let them dry completely, and repeat, well, the same as other people's comments. Another idea is to lay down a plastic or acrylic board.

Taxes, health insurance, etc. in Japan and the U.S.

I currently hold US citizenship. To take care of my parents at home, I am an employee of an American company, but I am planning to move to Japan in the next year or so to work remotely for a few years.
So I have a few questions and would appreciate it if anyone knows anything about this. First, I am planning to cancel my health insurance through my company. ？

Is the income for joining the Japanese National Health Insurance based on the calculation that I have no income in Japan? ？ If I use my income in the U.S. as a guide, the premiums may be high.

If anyone is familiar with this situation and would be willing to share links to information, I would appreciate it.

In addition to recommended tourist attractions, stores, and restaurants in OC, I am also interested in historical buildings and nature.

I don't know anyone in particular directly or anything, but it seems like a lot of people have moved from California to Texas in the last few years. Is there a reason why ？

my friend's sister, my friend's middle school teacher, a friend of my roommate from school, the sister-in-law of a manicurist I went to, my cousin's ex-husband, the mother of a friend from school …

all of them are different races and ages. They're all from different parts of the country, but after two years, I thought Texas ？ again.

If you say it just happened, well isn't that an amazing coincidence ？ 😂.

I moved from California to Texas and back to California again. I don't want to go back again.

In my personal opinion, the houses are cheap, but property tax expensive. The houses are spacious, but they are hard to clean and there are hurricanes and tornadoes in some places, so it costs a lot of money to repair the houses. Public expenses such as car registers are expensive. Japanese goods are expensive. Airline tickets to Japan are expensive. Utilities are expensive. Gasoline is cheap, but there are many toll roads. It takes a long time to drive anywhere. Not many activities unless you belong to a church. Fire ants and mosquitoes are common and it is very hot, so there are not many children in the parks. The Japanese community is small and rumors abound. Meat is cheap and tasty, but eating out is expensive (about $15 for a bad ramen 10 years ago). Many people are politically and religiously biased, and southern hospitality is only on the surface. Medical care is well developed, with a medical center, but the cost of medical care and medicine is high.

I lived in a city, but there may be differences from place to place.
I would not recommend it unless you have a large family and need a big house.

Thanks Texan ！ That was very helpful. My husband is about to be transferred and I'm not sure what to do. I have the right to choose, so I'm just asking. I personally was getting tired of the Japanese-American community here too, but I guess it may be similar no matter where you go. It is hard for me to leave because I have to take my child to a remedial school, but sometimes it is hard to hear rumors and backbiting. I think California is blessed to have a great climate and be able to drive anywhere and get everything, so I'll think it over. Thank you very much for your help.

I guess you have not yet traveled ？

The fastest way is to show the following documents to your family doctor in Japan and ask him or her to type the missing information and provide you with a certificate.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/18_Duf7cmaYp5tcZxPJoY7ig45Hnxw2sv/view （ This is from Irvine, but the required requirements are consistent with California public schools ）
.
It is best to have the certificate issued in English, if possible.
You can google "Immunization records example" or similar to find a template for the form.

In the worst case scenario, it is possible to get a blood test → at a local hospital after arriving in the U.S. to prove the vaccine, but it is better to do everything you can in Japan and use it as a last resort if it does not work.

This is an experience from another state almost 15 years ago, but ours was fine with it because the mother-child handbook has an English translation of the vaccinations.

When we were going to enroll in elementary school, they used our MCH handbook as an official record. The school nurse rewrote the form in this booklet to make it easier for me, and I got her signature, so I have been using it since then. I have been using the color copy since then because it would be troublesome if I lose the original.
The date on the doctor's stamp was Heisei, so I remember the nurse asked me when it was in the western calendar.　 I had done everything in Japan, but I was missing some kinds to enter a school here, so I had a summary typing done for free at a place run by the Health Department and got the record. I think the school can tell you where to go.

If the tuberculin test is positive, you will have to have a blood test or lung x-ray to prove that you don't "currently" have TB, so even if you get the proof in advance, it may not be very useful after all.
I don't think a tuberculin certificate is necessary for elementary school entry. We didn't need it either until my daughter worked in a hospital.

My daughter and I both work in the medical field, and a lot of people who had BCG in their home countries work in the US, so we are all used to it. Sometimes they skip that test and do a blood test or an x-ray because they are sure it will be positive.

If I did tuberculin, it would be positive, so I would have to get an x-ray every time and it would cost a lot of money.
