My boss is looking for a Hina doll set or his granddaughter. I have been looking to buy from Kyugetsu but I am unsure if we will get the shipment on time for the season this year. Do you know if shipment is slower than usual from Japan?
We have been looking for a 5 tier display set of any kind, in good condition. Would love to know of a place that sells dolls in America or a family who is willing to offer a price. Please message me!

I want to do composting in my yard, do you have any recommendations ?

I mainly put vegetable scraps and fruit peels.

I'm thinking of getting a rotary one, but I'm not sure. Can I keep putting them in ? I feel like if I do, the unsoiled stuff will stay forever.

I live in OC. It seems like there are programs where you can take your food scraps somewhere or have them collected at home and get soil, but so far I have no plans to get anything back into the soil from the compost.

I use a rotary composting system, but the food scraps fill up quickly, so I bury them in the soil in my backyard.
It seems to take about 3 months to complete composting. I don't put all my food scraps in the garbage, so it fills up quickly, but other houses may not accumulate that much food scraps. I have peach, citrus, and other fruit trees at home, so I dig holes around them and bury them. The compost has a partition in the center, and there are two rooms, one for food scraps and the other for composting in progress, and it is rotated daily to circulate oxygen, but it generates flies, so now I bury it directly in the soil and let the worms break it down for fertilizer.

Thanks Sunshine ! I knew it was worm ! !

I've been looking into this but we have limited space for a field and I was thinking it would be difficult to make a compost section in addition, but I just saw on Instagram I just found out on Instagram that Dollar Tree has a wire trash can that you can bury in the soil and put cardboard pieces and food scraps in it.

At least it doesn't cost much, so I'll give it a try !

I see the rotary one has two layers ! I still think burying it in the dirt might be better for me, since I don't want flies coming in.

I don't want to put it under the eaves because I have to keep it out of the rain after all, like cardboard composting 😓

Fortunately, we have worms in our small field, so I'll ask them to move out a bit from there.

I don't know why on instagram or youtube people post how they do it, but there is so little explanation of what to do and when to do it afterwards that it's hard for the layman to understand.

I have been thinking that it is a waste to throw away the banana peels and the outside of the cabbage (I always throw away 1-2 pieces) after my children eat them every day, but it is very hard to compost them.

I will look into it more !.

I use a shovel to dig and bury a circle over 20 cm in diameter.
If I cover them with enough soil to hide the garbage and leave them alone, they will decompose before I know it, so I don't even use a box. Shells do not attract flies or insects, so even if you leave them unburied, they will eventually break apart and become fertilizer nutrients, although it will take some time in the sunlight.
All you need is a shovel and some soil, so it is economical, and the soil will become soft, so it can be used to improve the soil.

Callus is popular on Japanese Instagram, but which one is it in the US ? I heard they put it with rice bran.

Japan is nice to get rice bran for free🥹.

I bought a wire trash can today because I saw on instagram that if you dig a hole in a field and bury a Dollar Tree wire trash can 🗑️ and put chopped cardboard, soil and fallen leaves in it and put banana peels or something in it and cover it with soil or a lid it will become a worm compost. I bought a cover for a microwave dish because it was the perfect size for it.

I didn't cook today and ate out, so I don't have any garbage, but tomorrow morning I want to dig a hole and bury the garbage directly in the garbage can and for the garbage can.

I was wondering if I should buy a wire trash can from Amazon $ I'm glad I did for a little over 1. I guess the wisdom of people who are used to it is amazing in any field.

I have a daughter who wants to practice the iron bars.
Please let me know if there are any parks near Torrance where I can practice the iron bars.

I see a lot of very high bars, but I would love to find a place that is just right for children's bars.
I met a mom on the road before and she told me she practiced the bars at a park, but I forgot to ask her where.

If you know of any, please let me know ! Thank you very much.

I am looking for a place to request a TAX return and am asking about one.
I am thinking of hiring a firm called Okihara U.S. Tax Accountant's Office, but there is no address listed on their website.
Google maps shows the Irvine area, but without a specific address, I am not sure if it is really a good idea to hire them.
Please let me know if you have requested this service before.
Thank you very much.

Nowadays, cell phones have a translation function, so you don't have to go to a Japanese place.

22404 Kathryn Ave, Torrance, California 90505

I googled Torrance address was the only one I could find.

Either way, some places don't list their phone numbers on their internet sites because of the risk.

If your English is not good, you can start by asking a friend or other person who speaks English to call "phone information".

My AAA car insurance rates are going up every year and I'm looking for a better and cheaper policy.
I am a senior living in the SOUTH BAY with about 300 miles per month and have not had any accidents or violations in the last 3 years.

I heard from someone who worked for AAA about a technique to lower the cost of insurance. The low mileage ( proof needed ) thing you mentioned was the best. I was set up with 3000 miles all along as told by the unfriendly BBA at the insurance company ( Mercury ) but I didn't want to talk to the BBA so I got a different agent and sent another agent a picture of my actual mileage of 4750 miles and a receipt with mileage for an oil change. I sent the receipt with the actual mileage of 4750 miles and oil change to another agent and got a much lower price. Unfortunately, I did not get the money back that I kept paying for nothing. It also depends on your Commuting and Pleasure settings for Primary Use of the Vehicle. In case you are wondering, Costco is very inexpensive, but for several years now, they have not been able to accept new subscriptions for vehicles in the state of California.

I see ! I can't get a new one in …

The same with the mileage ! It's dishonest that it was set at 30000 miles. I remember agents usually asking me all kinds of questions to make it as low as possible.

I applied for Costco online, so I don't have an agent, but I had a bad experience with Farmers, and since then I have been avoiding Farmers. I need to review my insurance policy as well.

This is from a person who worked for AAA ( Mr. J ). First of all, it seems that insurance premiums are quite high in the industry, and the reason for this is that they have to turn the money from the insureds to make their business viable. Since the company does not have much money, when an accident occurs, they try to avoid paying as much as possible. For example, they treat a car that would be expensive to repair as a total loss and charge less than the blue book > Accidental cars are collected in large numbers somewhere in the desert and sold to used car dealers or sold for parts to pay for the next accidental car. I also asked about home insurance, but since the topic is car insurance, I'm not going to do that.

I have been there a few years ago and last summer. It is in the airport, above the international exit, so it is on the second floor. The airport is L-shaped, and I think there is a sign posted at the corner of the L-shaped airport. The venue, or rather the office, is very small. There are a lot of chairs in front of the entrance, and there are usually a few people sitting there waiting for their appointments. You can walk there from the airport parking lot. If you are worried, call the office directly and check. In my experience, sometimes they answer the phone and sometimes no one answers, and once I was told that the office had moved and I should call this number, but they had not moved. Of course you have an appointment ?

The word "interview" may make you feel a bit nervous, but it's okay, because unlike a visa interview, it's just a face-to-face paperwork process. As I recall, even Japanese nationals living in Japan who do not have permanent resident status in the U.S. can apply for the visa now.

Just the basics, like names. The rest is fingerprinting and such. Just answer the questions they ask you, like have you ever committed a crime, and you'll be fine ! although some people might be annoyed by the bureaucratic nature of it all. It's fine !.
