I wanted to support them because they didn't sell well, but
Some days there was a lot of dark green tea powder but almost no sweet potato,
On the other hand, there was a lot of sweet potato but not much green tea powder, and somehow the taste was not consistent 😢
They didn't look good and didn't look delicious. It might have been better if they had small cups for tasting.

I guess you all have only one "recommended scanner", so there is no way to compare them.

From my example, mine is an old ～ EPSON WF-2830 model, which is a printer/scanner model, and I use it very conveniently.

I have also scanned and put in an album the black and white photos I have been taking since I was a student long before I came here (1970). The best and oldest photos I have are taken before the end of the war (Pacific War), and I have scanned and stored them in my PC, including a photo of my father in military uniform, my mother, and me as a baby.

Sometimes I wonder if someone else came along to buy at a higher price. I was asked by a last minute returnee if I would like to buy a set of educational books for ＄ 10, and I gladly agreed, but the next day I was told "I spilled coffee on them and threw them away". It's strange that there was so much coffee on everything, but I didn't get to see it, and I'm sure ＄ someone was buying it for more than 10.
＄ It's hard to believe that someone would abandon a bag of 3 for ＄ 15, even though they said they would buy it for ＄ 20. Even if someone says they will buy it for 20, normal adults don't dance around the difference.

Then don't buy it. Or buy it yourself. It's hard to get, and you spent hours and hours in line early in the morning to get it, and you spent gasoline to get a rare item, so it has a premium.
I know someone who was able to buy one without standing in line, but he didn't say which store.
I heard there were long lines everywhere in the South Bay. There was a guy who thought they were giving them away for free. He was told by the guy at the store how much and how long the line was there 😆.

If you are using a home rice milling machine, you can always make rice bran, so I think it would be a good idea to post
"Please give me rice bran for sale" at a private sale, etc., and then receive it at the Japanese American market .

I think the word "mom friends" is just a word for moms who are friends with other moms.
I don't think they are friends even if they are mom friends...it's like a neighborhood association...it's so annoying
Some of them can be friends, but I am lucky if I meet one person in 20

It's important to be a good judge of people.

？ Parents are forced to play with their children when they are young in order for them to learn social skills, and sometimes they are given free sitters who are just the right amount of help.
Children don't get along with each other, and at a certain age they become estranged, or they are either braggarts on parade, competitive, or indifferent to other people.
There is no kindness at all, 1 ／ I would be happy if I could find a good mom friend with a probability of 20.
I wonder if we could be good friends if we continued to be moms ？ 、、、、

Calling from the U.S. to Japan
SIM card with international calling plan American carriers （ e.g. ： T-Mobile, AT&T ） may offer plans that include international calling to Japan. Please check with your cellular company.

VoIP apps Skype, Google Voice, and LINE call features allow you to call Japanese mobiles and landlines at very low cost if you have a Wi-Fi connection.

Prepaid International Phone Cards Buying a card with low calling rates is another option. However, as you mentioned in the past, please note that the balance may expire or expire while not in use.

How to receive calls from elementary schools
If you set up an online number such as Google Voice, you can receive calls in the U.S. similar to Japanese numbers. However, you need to make sure that the elementary school has no problem with you calling the international number.

You can also register a family member or friend as a substitute contact and have them contact you if necessary.

Thank you very much for your kind detail, Hirorin.

As for #7, are you saying that you can also call a landline from LINE ？ I've never done anything other than call your friend on VOICE, but if you're calling a landline, then you can call someone who is not your friend ？ if so. I'd appreciate it.

I paid $ 5 for an app called Viber, but I couldn't figure out how to call it in either Japanese or English, so ＄ 5 left. No matter how many times I try ＆ it doesn't work and the money doesn't decrease, so I've left it alone.

I actually bought an eSIM for #8 last year, but my iPhone won't Unlock and I haven't used it. This year I am planning to get a new phone before I go back home, so if I have last year's eSIM, it means I can get a cell phone. ？ The eSIM is still usable without even activating it.

#9 I can't tell the school or store to call me internationally, so I guess eSIM is the best. ？

I'm not good at this kind of work and searching, so there are many times when I end up buying something but not using it. I am not good at this kind of work and search, but I can't use it even though I bought it.

It was decades ago when we were Topi's age.

We were lucky enough to have good pocketbooks then and bought a house. Many of our neighbors had children in the lower grades of elementary school, and many of them went to the same elementary school, so we, as newcomers, were able to get to know our neighbors easily through our children.

Other parents also felt safe because their children were playing in their neighbors' yards and on nearby streets.

Sorry, for all the useless talk. I still live in a quiet residential neighborhood off a busy main street with heavy car traffic, and I'm sure there is one in several homes with elementary school children, but I don't see kids playing outside in the street. Have times changed a lot, or are the kids also playing on the internet inside the house?

Yes, if your children can play online, let them play with their friends from the same school through the Internet. You will have to monitor the content from time to time, though. In addition, you could let them go to the friend's house or ask them to come over.

As I write this, I realize that times have changed dramatically. My granddaughter is now going to UC San Bernardino, which is over 2 hours away by car or train; UCLA was too difficult and Community College, which is in a walkable city, was too low.

Nice to meet you ^^
I know it's hard to know how to spend every school vacation.
We also have a 1st grader, and like the Lord, my husband is working so it's just the two of us. I've already decided that I'm not going to spend time with my child and I'm just going to be lazy everyday lol My child is usually busy with school, so I thought it would be nice to have a change of pace once in a while.
We often watch movies together or draw pictures. After that, we have picnics at the park, hang out at the mall, etc.
Lately she seems to be interested in baking sweets, so I'm thinking of making a cake or something for this spring vacation.
Wishing you a happy spring vacation ♪!

♪ Making cakes is nice ！ It is good to do something that we usually want to do but haven't been able to do yet, rather than saying we have to go outside ！

I always thought I had to take them somewhere, but it is true that there are things we can do together at home. ！ I would like to try making a cake with them because they have been wanting to make a cake too.

As for picnics, I forgot that we used to make lunch boxes and eat them in the back yard when we had the Corona Disaster, which was a picnic of sorts. It was nice to be able to enjoy a different day in a nearby park and do something we don't always do like that ！ Thank you 😊.

The second is US Mobile. I signed up for this as a
relay plan since my Airtalk phone took a while to activate. I was going to cancel
after the 30 days free plan when I signed up for the first time, but in the end I decided it was better to have two phones, so I signed up for US Mobile's cheapest plan of ＄ 10 per month and

Every summer when I go back to my hometown in Japan for an extended period of time, I have trouble with phone calls within Japan. This time, my child was at school, so I had a lot of trouble getting a call from the school. I gave him my parents' phone number, but I can't answer the phone if I'm out of town. How are you guys doing ？

I took my pocket Wi-Fi with me, but it's too inconvenient because I can't contact anyone except on line. I couldn't even call the store and was in a state of 모듈을 고팀(I don't even know if there's a way to do that)urashima-taro.

Tea-san ！ I had never heard of a Komochi shop before, and when I looked on YELP, I was even more pleased to see that they serve Komochi at a Japanese-Japanese supermarket. I love Komochi and always buy the soft ones when they are on sale, but lately I haven't seen them in the stores because of bad timing. I'm looking for white rice cakes this time, but this rice cake shop seems to have a lot of beautiful rice cakes, so I'd like to visit there. Thank you ！
