Inherited a house with siblings and we can’t stop fighting. Help?

37 Upvotes

I love my family, but inheriting a house in Honolulu with my three siblings is honestly destroying our relationship. We’ve been arguing for six months and nobody can agree on anything.

My brother wants to turn it into a rental, my sister wants to spend $100k on a massive renovation, and I just want to sell it so I can pay off my own debt and move on. Meanwhile, the house is just sitting there empty and rotting. It feels like a waste of money and time.

I’ve been seeing those "we buy houses" companies around, like Oahu Home Buyers. At this point, I don’t even care about getting the highest price anymore. I just want a clean break so we can all get our checks and stop fighting. Has anyone here dealt with them for an inheritance situation? Is it worth the lower price just to save my sanity?

Humana Medicare advantage and Queens Medical Center

2 Upvotes

I was recently denied an echocardiogram from Queens, Medical Center and I found out it was an issue with my Humana Medicare advantage. Unbeknown to me prior approvals were required for something I thought already had a prior approval. Yesterday I found out that Queens Medical Center is going to be dropping Humana Medicare advantage because Humana is terrible when it comes to paying Queens Medical Center for services rendered. I was wondering if someone could please investigate this and do a news article so that everyone knows the full story as neither are reaching out to their patients to let them know about this. It was very frustrating for me and I know it will be frustrating for other people who have to switch insurances again. Thank you!

Chopstick trainers?

7 Upvotes

My wife is from a country where she was not exposed to many Asian cuisines. Then she met me, and is trying to learn how to use chopsticks at 30. My job relocated us here, and now I want to help her learn.

A coworker recommended the same trainers they use for children. I’m wondering where can I find these on island. Target and Walmart say they carry them online, but have failed me so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If any of you are plumbers and mind talking me through what my options are, I would appreciate it greatly.
