But is that what the media is really trying to do? Make you feel sympathy, or give you someone you might identify with to scare you? Watching that video was like watching Dr. Phil. Same kind of story, too many vehicles, living high on the hog, now living in a trailer in their parents'...

Pretty blonde girl who likes my cake class creations. She's definitely the best IAC leasing office rep I've dealt with, glad to see she's getting some recognition from others as well. :)

Wow. I <3 the IHB. I have learned SO much from you guys over the past few years.

How is 'overnight' defined? It could get really annoying if it ends up a Cinderella story where everyone has to move their cars at midnight. Even if it was one friend who was visiting overnight, it's a hassle and if they have a rental car, I'd want to know how far in advance I need to get this...

Yes, I'm a grammar nazi.

I'm curious now, too. Poking around on the web I found references to Freezing and Thawing Cycles (with caps) in regards to concrete, and a company that seems to sell a version of concrete that is called FTC. I learned a lot of things I will probably never need to know due to wondering what FTC...

I wasn't happy with the water pressure in Woodbury, but the maintenance guys were nice enough to crank it up in the garage by the water heater (apparently there is a valve there) and then remove the water saving ring or whatever it is from the shower heads. Problem solved. It borders on...

I have the (antique) ice box that my grandparents used. It's sitting in my garage atm, as I this place is already overcrowded with stuff, but I love it, rusty grates and all. :)

*cackle* "Life is short. Have an affair. (TM)" The trademark icon nearly made me fall out of my chair laughing. Shared that one with the hubby. Reminds me of Adult Friend Finder, though I suppose that one is a little less discreet sounding than Ashley Madison. As to the holiday weekend...

Eva, that is exactly what went through my mind when the loan mod thing started up... because that really does up the ante and I think most people aren't even aware of it. One of the lawyers on another forum posted this in response to the question: "The challenge is that the ability of a lender...

I'm saddened that The Dinner A'Fare is gone. I don't blame TIC specifically for their problems (clearly it wasn't just the Woodbury location) however... I spoke at length with two different small businesses that opened up in Woodbury Town Center and gave them an ear to bend about what the...

hmm, yet another reason to move away from Woodbury. I really liked Dinner A'Fare, I was glad they had opened a location closer to me, but from their website, there is only one listing for California now, and it's this one. What a letdown. And yes, not only does TIC charge exorbitant rents...

Yay for Iain Banks fans! Complicity typically makes my recommended books list. I tore through most of the Culture series (including Matter, the newest one) a couple of months ago. Made me rethink whether or not Brave New World should retain its title as my personal utopia. ;) I usually...

I just wanted to thank you guys, my husband and I have gotten a lot of entertainment from this thread. I don't think there is a simple answer, and everyone has their own beliefs, and as my husband pointed out a few minutes ago, "Scientists are the priests of modern society." He has some...

Oh yes they can. But especially with how many people have no equity, they're more likely to just sue and use small claims court to go after the delinquent amount. In 2006, CA adopted some new regulations, and added in Under the new law, before an HOA can foreclose -- either judicially or...
