I like Tokyo Central's weighed fish !
I sometimes buy it for dinner.
But today I wondered
if the weight of the container is subtracted ?

When I bought fish at another store once,
it was an expensive sashimi, ? and when I weighed it,
the thing under the fish that absorbs water was included in the weight. I found that the weight of the fish included the water-absorbing material that had been pulled out from under the fish. It was heavy with water.

I was told that Bristol Farms also deducts the cost of the containers for the weight.
But I couldn't get any more details than that.

Thanks for the great information !
I actually bought and ate the dumplings at the Korean Market before Corona.
I don't know why I remember … they were very chewy and tasty, and they were cheap at $3.99 a bag, so I kept coming back.
Now it's more than twice as expensive.

I will buy and eat the spring rolls, thank you !.

I am asking about a propriety tax statement we always receive.


This time, after our name and address, it clearly states TRS Family Trust.

Is there any special meaning to this ??

The term "TRS Family Trust" usually indicates that the property belongs to a Trust ( Trust ). Specifically, it means that the property is administered by one or more trustees ( Trustees ). The Trustee has the role of managing the property for the benefit of the beneficiaries ( Beneficiaries ) of the trust.2

In this case, TRS means "Trustees"( plural trustees ) and Family Trust means a family trust Family Trust refers to a family trust. In other words, it indicates that the property is administered as part of a family trust.

If you need more information, we recommend that you consult with the attorney or tax professional involved in establishing the trust. You may also be able to consult with your local tax office or city hall.

Dear #4


We have already created a Family Trust with our attorney about 10 years ago.

I noticed that the property Tax clearly states TRS Family Trus

I have a question. The attorney who created it may have retired

but I left a voicemail and did not get a call back.

Thank you for your kind answer.

Conditional Removal of Green Card

Question
#1
  • まこ
  • mail
  • 2025/02/18 19:34

Hello.

"When applying for a green card through marriage to a U.S. citizen or green card holder, you can only obtain a green card valid for two years if it was issued within two years of the marriage."
"To remove the conditions of a conditional green card, file a Removal of Conditions ( Joint Petition ) within 90 days before its expiration date."

Questions about the above.
If I have a green card with a 10 year expiration date, does that mean that the conditions have been removed? Does this mean that the conditions have been removed?
I only remember that I went to the immigration office and did some procedures … without thinking much about it, and I felt that it was more like "renewing" a driver's license, rather than removing a condition. I was too ignorant, despite myself, and now I'm worried.

My first permanent residence was for 2 years … as I recall.
However, since the green card I currently have on hand is a 10-year validity j, I am wondering if it is correct to understand that the 10-year = condition has been removed.

I don't understand what 1 means by the questionable condition
whether it's 2 years or 10 years, just renew before the expiration date
renew it for 2 years at first, and then every 10 years after that, just that it's not a condition or anything

Don't worry, you don't need to worry. To remove the conditions on a conditional green card ( usually valid for 2 years ), you will need to file a form I-751. However, if you have a green card that is valid for 10 years, it is likely that the condition has already been removed.

To check on this, please note the following points :

If you were married for more than 2 years when you first got your green card, you may be issued a green card valid for 10 years from the beginning The card will be valid for 10 years from the beginning.

If you file an I-751 within 90 days of obtaining a conditional green card and are subsequently issued a green card valid for 10 years, the condition has also been removed.
If you are unsure which process you followed, we suggest you contact the USCIS ( USCIS ) for assistance. You may also create an account on the USCIS website to check your immigration status and past application history.

Apartment Repair ・ Regarding repair

Question
#1
  • APT
  • mail
  • 2025/02/24 12:43

I have been living in an apartment that contains 4 households for about 6 years.
After living here for such a long time, not only the parts that are actually necessary for living, but also the appearance of the apartment is in a very bad state.
The paint is peeling off the bathroom tub in particular (.
Or is it necessary to repaint at one's own expense, since peeling paint is not something that is essential?
By the way, we have lived here the longest of the four families, and the other units have had their window frames repaired and are clean, but this one is very old looking ( and honestly falling apart ), so I am wondering if this can be fixed.
I know that the rent is lower for long-term residents than for new tenants, but I was wondering how it would be if it is in such a bad shape.

For example, if something necessary for daily life is definitely broken, you can usually ask for repairs, but if the paint is peeling, etc., the owner will be reluctant to fix it because you can still live there.
However, if you live in LA, there should be a house ・inspection once every 5 years, so if you appeal at that time, you can use the opportunity to get things fixed.

However, inspectors are all different, so it is important to appeal well,

Thanks for the information.
I learned a lot.
House ・ inspections once every 5 years, but I think I did have one.
If I miss that house ・ inspection, will I not be able to appeal anymore?
(I am not sure about the legalities in raising rents. )
The bathtub is speckled, but I am wondering which option is better: continue to live in it, paint it myself, or negotiate to have it painted at the management company's expense.

A police car would be waiting hidden by the cabaret, and they would pick out a nice car and catch them
But I don't think they had any problems with their visas. I was warned not to get in the car if I drank, and to return home if caught.

It was a long time ago, around 1930, I was running a flower shop in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. Three years later, for some reason or other, they returned to Japan, but when the three of them were still alive, ( I found information and books of the flower shop in my childhood ) and the address.
It was a pre-war address, "332 E. first street, Los Angeles Calif.
However, since it is an old address, I can only find "maybe here ?". Because when I did a GOOGLE search, it was in front of the Sakura Hotel.
The address of the flower shop was "under Ohayo Hotel" from there.
I am having a hard time finding out where the Ohayo Hotel was located and if it was possibly the predecessor of the Sakura Hotel.
I am planning to visit Los Angeles in the near future to see my grandmother's roots, which were Japanese-American. ( I'm not sure if it's inside Skid Row, but )

Perhaps there is a 90+ year old person who has lived in Little Tokyo since childhood, and if memory serves, there may be a chance.
If anyone has any information, please let us know.
By the way, the name of the flower shop my grandfather owned at that time was Tei ( MIKADO )
