？
Did anyone see the FCI Japanese news broadcast on the morning of May 18? ？
In between the news footage, there was a voice that had nothing to do with the content of the news. I'm glad to see you again", and twice.
This voice had nothing to do with the news that was being broadcast at the time.
Is this a broadcast accident? ？
Was it on other people's TVs as well? ？
I didn't pay much attention the first time, but since it came in twice, it was like a psychic phenomenon and scared me a little. If anyone says they heard it too, I would be glad if you could respond.
If it was just in my house, it would be too scary ・ ・ ・

How to send packages from Hawaii at the lowest price

？
The last time I brought my stuff back from Hawaii by myself, I was charged a huge overage fee and it ended up being too heavy and not worth it.

Most of the contents are Hawaiian clothes, bags and souvenirs.

I always carry on as much as possible. I bring a Boston bag on top of a smaller suitcase that can be carried in, and put the suitcase in the top compartment and the Boston under the seat in front of me. If I can't fit it in, I put it in a cardboard box and send it by fedex or usps, but
usps is surprisingly expensive. I don't know how much the check-in surcharge is, but it is also expensive to send heavy items.

You could pack it up and take it to a UPS office and get a quote.

Thank you very much Aloha. I will try to take full advantage of the carry-on as much as possible. With my sister, who broke her arm last time, we kept our carry-on luggage to a minimum, so that may have been a factor.
The largest box that can be sent by USPS Flat Rate is not very big, and the price seems to vary from Hawaii to Hawaii. I thought the post office was the cheapest, but I will look into FedEx and UPS ！ Thank you very much ！.

We recommend a service called Pirate Ship. Even if you do not have a business account, you can purchase labels at a discounted price for broker accounts that Pirate Ship has. It is not very cheap, but it is about 10% less than the regular price.

Recently, while watching YouTube, I frequently see commercials for A Senior Flex Card, Senior Alliance Benefit Card, etc., that offer special, free medical and food benefits to seniors who are 64 years of age or older and have Medicare. I googled to see if there is such a thing and found some information that it is a Scam （ Scam ） and some information that if you join a certain insurance company, they will offer it to you. If you know, could you please give me the correct information?

So, it depends on your personal needs, so you should talk to your agent (e.g., you want good dental benefits, you want food delivery, you want some of the Medicare fees to be covered, etc.) and choose the plan that best suits your needs.

What advice do you have for him as he stands on the brink of no longer being able to continue playing baseball in the future? He won the Koshien championship in spring and summer in consecutive years, and was drafted first overall by the Hanshin team with a bang. Fujinami had won double-digit victories in three consecutive years since his rookie year and seemed to be on the way to becoming an ace, but suddenly he began to have trouble with his control of the ball. Fujinami's mentality was thought to be the main cause, and he decided to make a fresh start and challenge MLB this year.
In his first game in MLB, he had a great start, but after that, he was even more out of control than in NPB. To date, he has pitched in four games and has a horrendous 14.40 earned-run average.

The 5th tournament, which was postponed due to Corona, will finally be held in March, but this time the games relatively close to us are in Phoenix and Tokyo, and the final game seems to be in Miami.
I am looking forward to Shohei Ohtani's performance ♬
But I wonder how many people will be there

By the way, my question is, does anyone know where I can buy Shohei Ohtani's Asahi-Nippon Flag T-shirt?
The design is the one with the rising sun T-shirt on the chest and ShowTime written in black.

A Japanese friend of mine asked me to buy one, but I don't know where I can buy it. If anyone knows where I can buy it, please let me know.

There are people everywhere who mount up. But I try to be careful because I think I may be thought of in the same way.

I'm careful about how I say things because I don't want the other person to think I'm giving them advice even though I didn't mean to.

There are people everywhere who think what people say is nosy or annoying, so I think it's the same.

By the way, I try to reply to any advice with "I see ！ thank you ！". But I decide who I will practice it as advice, like I will listen to Mr. A's advice carefully, but I will go through Mr. B's advice with my heart.

I keep my distance from people who talk about everything.

My mom, who was a resident and knew me from the original, gave me detailed instructions, even down to the vegetables. And if you forget and accidentally buy them, the rest is hard. They don't listen to people, they are not friendly, and they go around telling their mommy friends. I don't care about vegetables ！ I told her I wouldn't let her eat sweets, but if she's giving them to me, it's okay to give them to her once a month.
And then she leaves you out of the group. Insidious, the hierarchical relationship in the housewife's community is like that. It's annoying.

Soapy water works well to repel insects. I try to use soap with as few additives （ fragrances, etc. ） as possible.

1. Choose a clean spray bottle or sprayer for your mixture.
2. Mix 1 tablespoon of soap per quart of water, or 4 to 5 tablespoons of soap Make sure to evenly coat infected plants, from top to bottom, for best results. The soap-spray has to come in contact with the insects for it to work.

I humidify every night, but the mold has spread all at once to the ceiling. I am panicking because it spread so quickly.

I cannot stop humidification. My throat can't stand the dryness. First of all, I have to clean it, but it is the ceiling, so I wondered how to do it.

I think it is too much to spray bleach, but do you guys have experience with this kind of thing ？ Please tell me how to clean it, what cleaning tools and chemicals I should use, and what to do in the future. Please do.

Thank you, Clorox.

Yes, I thought it was difficult to spray. Yes, I thought it would be difficult to spray it, but I have two kinds of Clorox, one for cleaning the kitchen and one for cleaning the bathroom. I'm spending my daytime with the windows open for better ventilation and the heater on for the time being.

I am surprised that this is the first time this year, but I think it is also because this year I spend most of my time in my room during the day and didn't leave the windows open much because of the cold.

You can wrap a paper towel around the end of a long stick and fasten it with a rubber band, put enough Clorox on it so that it doesn't drip, and dab it on the mold ？ When you wipe it off, put water on it as well. I did my own bathroom like this and it was amazingly clean. But a few years passed and the mold grew back, so I did it again.

Which airline do you all buy your tickets to Japan from ？ I checked with the Japanese airlines, but Expedia is more than $300 cheaper. （ Ticket changes are not allowed ）
But since I have only ever purchased from Japanese airlines, I am worried about problems and reliability.　
But nowadays, all tickets are e-tickets and payment is made by credit card and online, so I wonder if the credibility is the same

I also use Expedia to purchase airline tickets all the time.

I was able to use the chat function to process the cancellation and everything else without having to call customer service.
Although it was a chat function, the person who responded to me was also very nice.
