Medical bill from 3 years ago arrives today.

I received a bill today from the hospital for medical expenses incurred in May 2021, and I remember that I already received and paid the bill around June 2021. I guess it could be the rest of the bill or something since the bill amount is different, but is it possible to get a bill that is 3 years old?

I changed insurance companies in January 2024, so is that why I am being charged something, or is it not the hospital's or insurance company's fault for not being able to bill me three years ago? Am I obligated to pay it?

I am going to call the hospital on Monday, but if anyone has any information, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Has anyone received a letter from a company called NAVVIS stating that personal information of HMSA members has been compromised ?
This happened last July and I received the letter today ( 1/13 ) and learned about the breach.
If so, have you registered with Credit Monitoring as described in the letter ??

I will graduate from university in mid-December and my OPT is scheduled to start in mid-January. Is it possible for me to temporarily return to Japan during that time ?
I have already received my EAD card and my employer has already decided to hire me.
I would like to know if anyone around here has such experience.

Medicine from Japan

I'm thinking of having a bottle of my favorite medicine sent from Japan
it's an over-the-counter medicine for allergies and I love it because it works, but I've run out of it
the shipping site seems to have a special mark and I can't seem to send it and Amazon in the US doesn't carry it
I'm thinking of asking a friend to send it to me in a small box. I was wondering if you could give me a rough estimate of how much it would cost to have them sent in a small box
I'm thinking of asking a friend, but I'd like to find out as much as possible before I ask
It would be fine to have the pills sent in a ziplock without the bottle, but if anyone has any experience with this, please let me know. Please let me know if you have any experience with this.

About Hana Hau'oli School

I'm sorry to say that I recently saw a topic about how difficult it is to get into a Montessori community school !
In fact, my daughter did not get into the 3 year old class at a Montessori community school this year, but I am considering trying at the 4 year old level.
We are also considering Hana Hau'oli School, which sounds like a great idea. Please let me know if you are a parent of a child who has actually attended Hana Hau'oli School, or if you know if Hana Hau'oli School is also difficult, or if the middle level after graduating from Hana Hau'oli School is good enough to get into Punahou or Iolani.
I am not aware of anyone around me who attends Hana Hau'uolis School
so I thought I'd put this topic up here.

I read that the minimum hourly wage is now $14.00 and the tip rate in restaurants has been increased, requiring that a minimum of $21.00 per hour be paid by the employer plus tips.
Is this applicable to kitchen staff and not servers ?
Is the employer responsible for any missing tips ??

What do you do when there are many white scales on glass doors and other surfaces due to water drops


Do you hire a contractor to remove them ? ?

Nice to meet you !
I am thinking of taking the Hana Hau'oli exam !

I heard that the Hana Hau'oli exam involves not only an interview for the child but also an activity for the parents.

If there are any parents who have taken the test, I would like to know what kind of things were done.
Thank you !

How to get accepted to a Montessori Community School

Problem / Need advice

Hello ! ! !
My son will be starting preschool next year in the 3 year old class.
The application process will start in September, and our first choice is
Montessori Community School in Makiki.

I recently attended a meeting hosted by the school where I was able to tour the school and ask questions, and I heard from many other parents who had questions about the school
They told me that this year, the admission rate for preschool for 3 year olds was 15 times higher than that for 3 year olds.
I knew that this is a top Montessori school because of its difficulty and small class size, but
I was intimidated by the 15x odds.
The school also told us that there were a lot more applications this year than in previous years due to the opening of Corona.
It seems that until 8-10 years ago, it was 2-3 times as many.

So we would like to know if any of you have actually been accepted to ( Montessori Community recently ! especially those who will be entering this August ) who have broken the 15x threshold
and what you have done for your children or what parents should do. !
We would also like to hear from parents of children who are currently attending the school and what kind of school it is.

By the way, we are considering St. Clements and Unity School as our second choice.
Thank you in advance !

We are moving and will be relocating from Hawaii to California. I have a large amount of books and would appreciate your wisdom if you have a cosy way to transport them.
I am thinking of putting them in suitcases and transporting them personally, asking a moving company, mailing them, etc.
Thank you in advance.
