I would like to use the fireplace in my house for the first time this winter.

I think the fireplace needs to be cleaned and inspected first, as it looks like it hasn't been used for a long time.

If you have hired a cleaner or know of a good one,
please give me your contact information.

Thanks in advance.

The top of the chimney is usually open to the sky, and rainwater enters the chimney at the same time the smoke comes out of it.　　The rainwater is sucked straight down to the ground.　　Roughly one meter from the floor, there is a tunnel opening diagonally down when viewed from above.　That tunnel immediately goes straight down to your fire floor.　Smoke then rises straight up from the fire floor, curves diagonally upward, and then rises straight back up again.　　At the top of this firebox is a lid that can be opened and closed.　The lever to open and close it can be seen on either side of the top.　If you are burning a fire, you must open this lid or smoke will flow back into the room.　It is easier to know if it is open or closed by checking during the daytime with an empty light.

This year I started the process of applying for a green card. I have asked my attorney to help me and things have not progressed at all since I submitted the documents. I would love to share information with anyone who is in a similar situation.
The green card application is by marriage to a US citizen.

I hired a lawyer this year as well, and six months later, in July, the application was completed （ late ！ ）, a month later, I received a notice of fingerprinting, which I completed, but I received a different notice （ and a new request to submit evidence ）, which I am temporarily suspended. The road still seems to be long. How are you doing after that, Makosan ？?

Which passport information should I register for a plane ticket for a temporary return to Japan with a child of dual nationality ？ ？

Please tell me how to do this when buying one way instead of round trip.
① USA → Japan booked with US passport
Japan → USA booked with Japanese passport
② Both booked with US passport
③ Both booked with Japanese passport

No middle name for the child, both have the same name.
Thank you very much ！

Use the passport of the country you are entering.
If from the U.S. to Japan, use a Japanese passport
If from Japan to the U.S., use an American passport

If you know, please tell me the name of the product, etc.

I don't know about the flavorful eggs that taste good eaten raw like in Japan, but you can eat low-pasteurized eggs as they are ！ You can find them in Japanese supermarkets, but you can also get them at Whole Foods, Sprouts, or other nearby American supermarkets, labeled "pasteurized eggs".

I am also looking for raw eggs that I can eat. I live in San Francisco and Sprouts is not in my neighborhood, but I have checked Whole Foods and Rainbow Market, but I have never seen pasteurized eggs.

I have yet to bring my own cup.
If I bring it, does it have to be a cup sold at Starbucks ？
If not, there is a size issue.

I believe you get a 10 cent discount if you bring your own cup ！
I heard that since Corona they have banned the use of your own cup, but they recently reintroduced it.

If I don't tell them "I have my own cup" when it's time to order, I won't make it in time. Can you order your own cup at the drive-thru ？?

It seems to be much harder to get visa sponsorship than in the past.
I don't think you should decide on a job based solely on the availability of visa sponsorship.

There should be support for job hunting at the school you graduated from. Why not take advantage of it?

Improvement of English language skills of elementary school students

Problem / Need advice

Please let me know if you are seniors or have the same problem ！
How are you all improving your children's English at Corona Disaster ？

Our family moved here in April 2021 for a new job.
We have children in 2nd and 3rd grade at American school age.
We put them in a local school, but they only go to school 4 days a week, and only half a day, for Corona Prep, and the rest of the time they are home-schooled.
He has no ESL classes and is suddenly in the same class as native English speaking children.
Naturally, I don't understand nearly as much as I should.
Homework （ Home study materials ） are also too difficult in English, so we only do math and simple reading.

I thought this was a bad idea, so I decided to go to an English conversation school （ once a week ） which requires a lot of homework.
My parents help me with the homework and look up the meanings.

I also decided to learn piano in English since I had played piano in Japan.

I also plan to sign up for one or two summer camps that I can do without English skills.

Will I be able to keep up my English skills in this way ？?

I think there are many people in a similar situation.
I think the best thing to do is to get a private tutor to do homework and prepare and review school work together.
Or, a Japanese cram school that provides support for the local school would also be a good idea.

Although native teachers are better in terms of pronunciation, I feel that Japanese teachers are easier for children to ask questions.

I know it is a lot of work just to finish the assignments in front of you, but without basic knowledge, they will have a hard time later on, so I think it is better to concentrate on studying somewhere else. I would recommend going back 1 ～ 2 years below the current school year and starting with a review during summer break, but if you can't take that much time, it would be good if you could just review the previous semester. You can ask your school if they have an ESL program, or you can join an ESL tutoring school ？.

Children absorb information quickly. Please do not be in a hurry and watch over them for a long time.
I am sure they will become proficient in time.

In my personal experience, it is more efficient to learn a language in English
than in Japanese （ by looking up the meaning in an English-English dictionary ） for example.

Please help me if you have a time machine ！
My dear friend suddenly disappeared from his apartment in the spring of 1986.
I don't know if he was abducted or not, but after that the police couldn't seem to find any clues at all and they haven't found the culprit either.
So I thought I had no choice but to use a time machine to go and rescue her, and I tried to make a time machine somehow, but it was difficult to do so. time machine was invented.
So I am posting this because I believe in the possibility that there is someone somewhere in this world who has invented a time machine before 1986.
If you are willing to allow me to time travel, I will strictly adhere to the following.

1. I will act solemnly so as not to change the past except to save someone I care about.

2. I take full responsibility for whatever happens to me on the way there.

3. Never tell anyone about your time travel or the existence of the time machine.

If you have a time machine, please let me use it ？ even if it is a one way ticket.
please email me if you can let me use it ！
