Question for Koji.
Did you enter your personal information （ birthday, social security number, address, etc ） after creating your Credit Monitoring account ？
I am a little reluctant to enter my social security number, but if I don't I don't see the point of monitoring if you don't.
If you don't mind, please let me know how you did it.
Thank you very much.

Mercury,
I was a bit confused too, but I didn't want to get in the wrong hands, especially with my SSN, so I entered my personal information (BD, SSN, Address).
If the monitoring company is hacked by this, there is nothing I can do （ sweat ）.

I received a similar letter the other day addressed to our couple.
It is called registering with IDX, probably on this topic.
What is this registration for ？
I would be grateful if you could enlighten me.

There was an information leak at Navvis, the company that manages HMSA's database, and personal information of HMSA members was leaked.
IDX is a company that monitors personal information for misuse.
If you register with IDX using the number in the letter you received this time, they will check your personal information for free for one year.

Dear Aloha
Thank you very much. I guess Hana Hau'oli School is also
more difficult … than Montessori Community School.
The tuition is $ 27,000 for a preschool and … more expensive than mid-pack. Besides, if the school is in the top 10%, it is definitely difficult to get in. …
Thank you for your valuable feedback ♪.

Dear Topi
It is so difficult that 2 daughters and 1 son tried but couldn't get in ！ Hana Hau'oli is only a 4 year old exam, so if you don't get in at 4, you have almost no chance of getting in ！
All 3 of ours failed, but good luck, Topi ！!

My daughter attends Hana Hau'oli.
I sent my 2 and 3 year old to MCS as mentioned above.
My daughter has adjusted easily to Montessori and Hana Hau'oli because the educational concepts are similar.
Hana Hau'oli is also a global school with many bilingual children. Hana Hau'oli is also a global school, so there are many bilingual children there. Hana Hau'oli's educational concept is also global and emphasizes education in cooperation with families, so
children who are bilingual from an early age (Japanese and English, etc.) may be suited to Hana Hau'oli. In fact, bilingual children are born with the natural ability to automatically distinguish and use two or three different languages, and it was said that infants who can manipulate multiple languages have very high learning ability.
Natural language brain, pronunciation of each language, and bilingual brain are said to be acquired in an environment before the age of 3. Neither I nor anyone else in my family graduated from Hana Hau'oli, and I took the test thinking it was impossible.
Chances are few but they are there ！
The school, the education, the teachers, everything is great.

I would like to take the Hana Hau'oli exam.

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

I would like to know if you know what will be done.

Hello. My child is also going to take the Hanahau'oli exam. There are a lot of kids in the same preschool who are taking the test
I am wondering how big the turnout will be, even though there are only a little over 20 places available.
And since priority is given to those with legacy or family members who have attended the school, I think families with no connections at all will almost never get in.
The school has a strong family bond after graduation, so it is the kind of school that your ancestors can attend. We don't have any connections, so we are going to try to get a tutor. My interview is in early February. I will start interviewing this weekend.
The parent activity ？ interview thing seems to be different every year, some years it's a reading aloud from a children's book in English, some years it's an introdon ！ like
a nursery rhyme in English that is played and then sung, etc. ？ It's a bit different exam . It seems to be.
I am very excited to see what the subject will be this year. Let's do our best ！.

#2's advice is good ！

If you live in Hawaii,
you have a bank debit card.
If you can't pay by Japanese credit card,
you can pay by debit card.
I know an American who lives in Hawaii and is a member of Sam's Club even though he does not have a credit card

I think ？ it might be helpful if you google
"car import procedure from Japan to Hawaii" or something like that.
It seems to be very troublesome, so I think it would be better to ask them to do it for you if you can pay for it.

You definitely need a license plate for the car, and you pay taxes there, so ask Citi ？

My husband bought his car online from Mainland, and he did it himself.　The tax part and the car inspection part are very important.

By the way, it is also important that the car is not an illegal car with American specifications.　If there are any illegal parts, you should be fined.

Sorry, this is a little rough information.

I went with a friend who was able to sightsee.

I don't need a reservation because I am a Loco ID holder, but my friend definitely does.
I checked the name list at the entrance to see who would be coming in what time slot.
I was asked twice if I had a reservation ？ while walking to the entrance and I showed it to them.

For your information.

I think Kuroneko Yamato was affordable. （ There are some rules such as only one type in the same box, but it was a lot cheaper than the post office for the same weight ）.

I am the one who asked a flight question about the shipping cost of the calendar in #2. I just shipped from the post office counter. One $ was 9.16. The last year I shipped, it was a little over $5.00, so the price had almost doubled, but I thought the price would have gone up more, so I was a little relieved that it was within $10.00 for one. I also noticed while waiting my turn in front of the post office door that there is a scale outside the door and you can follow the directions on the panel to weigh your postage. I will use this next time.

I was a nurse in Japan over 20 years ago.

This is just my personal opinion
When my son had a fever,
if it was over 103 ° F and he was limp, I would give him a fever reducer.
If it was lower than that, I did not give it.
The reason for 103 ° F is that a sudden rise in temperature can cause febrile convulsions.


When the body temperature rises, viruses and bacteria in the body become less active.
The activity of the body's immune cells increases, increasing their ability to attack viruses and bacteria.
Fever is a command from the brain to raise body temperature to fight viruses and bacteria.
Children have immature body temperature regulation.
Unlike adults, they easily develop high fevers, but they protect themselves by doing so, keeping pathogens at bay.

Just ask your doctor if you have any symptoms such as not peeing, not drinking milk, or being limp.

Thank you ！ ！
min, you would have handled it without meds until 103℉. I would not want to use medicine as much as possible. In the case of my child this time, I only noticed that she was not feeling well because she was hot and lying down instead of playing, and when I asked her how she was she returned with energy. But maybe he didn't know what energetic meant. Now the fever seems to be down because his body is not hot anymore. I'll take her temperature in the morning and discuss with my family what to do about medicine, or since it's Monday, I'll also discuss with my family about calling the doctor. My mother-in-law is Japanese-American, so she thought I didn't understand English, and this time I also felt the difficulty of international marriage.

Even if the treatment suppresses the spots,
if you live as usual again,
the sun will make the spots even darker where the skin has become thinner.
Then it would be better to spend money on care
that will not cause spots in the future.

I have had severe melasma and sun spots, so I have been seeing Masami at Imperial Facial in Waikiki.　She gives me a thorough consultation and clearly tells me which spots cannot be removed by laser.　I think there was also a package price.

I don't know if it's sun spots or melasma ？ I don't know, but I have tried many lasers and the type of laser that works depends on the type of blotch, so you should have it looked at once.　I have been seeing Masami at Imperial Facial in Waikiki.　She tells me about blemishes that cannot be removed by laser.　　I think the consultation is free.　https://www.imperialfacial.com/

Q1: What to do with the 401k from the previous company
You can leave the account as is, or you can roll it over to the new company's 401k. Depending on the Benefit of each 401k, you can decide which is better for you. I would keep one account if at all possible, but it is up to you.
Q2: 401k and IRA, and 401k Matching
I would only do my current company 401k while I am working. They will add a percentage of your savings. ） so you can reach your goal faster than if you were to accumulate on your own. When you retire, there is no more matching, so you can roll over to an IRA and consolidate.
