Hi mina-san
They were asking for alot requierements and reasons why I was leaving and I tell them that I didn’t like their servicie and that I pay alot. The bill always came of 500 dollars and we didn’t use the phone that much so it was useless and a theft but its over.
Wednesday at 4:40 am
Yoshiさん、
Do they even have internet connections in Humbolt?
Wednesday at 4:48 am
Daniel-san, your workday is beginning, while mine is just ending.

Mina-san,
Konnichiwa! Today’s location is my second home, Humboldt county in Northern California. And Laura is my great American mother who never gave up on feeding this Japanese piggy boy who was always hungry and poor.
I was there, in Eureka and Arcata for 6 and half years since I was 18, and I met so many wonderful people there, but Laura and her family (Rocci, Grand ma, and kids! and dogs) are the most special people that I became a part of their family!!!
Daniel Beck-san,
They didn’t have the net conections but all the tree sitters were kind enough to help us to communicate all across the county. Dude, it’s pretty nice up there, bro!
Peace out

John C. Briggs-san,
mikuji-san gave you a good answer, but I thought I would add a little example from the package of something Yoshi is about to eat
ボディラインが気になる方
ボディラインがきになるかた
person that is concerned with his/her weight (body line)
mikuji-san,
Thanks for the help!
Sindy-san,
That’s an expensive bill! Good to hear you got it worked out
Jesse-san,
Very, very nice! Welcome to the community!
Yoshi,
That was really touching. (I want my bread back.)
Wednesday at 5:25 pm
Nathan-san,
Dude, it’s pay day! Let’s go to Mikky D’s and get 5 cheese burgers, 5 mac chiken, and 3 teriyaki burgers! Hmmmmmm…. I kinda miss it. And watch meet your meat clip together! Again!
Burgery love,
Yoshi
Wednesday at 6:35 pm
Dear Yoshi,
I’m ready when you are!
百万円あったら、マックへ行こう!
Let’s get fat together!
Always,
Nathan

Hmm excellent lesson but the PDF is a bit false cause it says “Employee: I want to cancel my contract.” I was a little bit confused when the Costumer began to say “Sign here” and so on. Please look it over. Onegai shimasu
Thursday at 9:43 pm
気にする get up tight // take ~ to [into] (one’s) heart , give a damn
as in:
1) あなたが気にするかどうかなんて、こっちは気にしてないし。I don’t care if you care.
2) へん、誰が気にするか Hell, who cares?
気になる feel uneasy 【自動】worry
as in:
私は何かが気になる。 Something bugs me.
BTW: I got these examples from www.alc.co.jp; you need to enter the query in kanji and kana though it will not take romaji other than for English to Japanese.

mikujiさん、
Thank you for the examples. I am still not sure if I get here.
きにする = to care about
きになる = to worry about
But somehow I don’t feel the きになる definition matches what I hear in the lesson.
Intermediate Lesson 26 Time 2:00:2:12
sore dewa kyou wa minasan no suzukisan ki ni natte to omoimasu no de itsu mo no resson no つづきを はじましょう。
Does this mean that Natsukoさん is worried or bothered about suzukiさん. I am guessing that maybe here it means “on one’s mind”
I just don’t think Natsukoさん is worried at all. I think she is “wondering” or “interested”. In fact, I would think this is closer to the definition of きにする。
What do you think? This phrase comes up a lot at the beginning of the Intermediate lessons.

ahh, humboldt. my sister attended there. She loved it. Small town, neh, Yoshi-san? yet, it was a vibrant and artsy area neh? (and, need we forget, a very popular university for people to major in enviromental studies)
Peter-san and the gang– wow! you can cancel a contract without enduring fees? i wish we could get that here. I dislike the whole 2yr swindling thing. >.
