    Irvine to widen University Drive near UCI in hopes of relieving congestion

    What's the point of this with Broadcom moving to GP soon?  There will be much less traffic in this area after they move anyway.

    Irvine Co. forces closure of a Marie Callender's in Irvine

    My co-workers were there last week for lunch.  No lunch specials, four dishes came out to 100.00.  They said the menu is like a phone book.  Overall, a really high end Chinese restaurant.

    Thuan Kieu Noodle & Grill

    Sat on the throne for two days non-stop after eating here once, never went back.  Yes, roaches are everywhere, but seems like the ones here are especially dirty!

    Planning our next vacation

    We stayed at the Four Points Sheraton San Francisco Airport a couple of years ago around New Years.  I paid for the Penthouse Suite, which was only like 150.00/night at the time, and was surprised to find that the room had an upstairs!  I've never stayed in a hotel room with two floors in the...

    Dish vs cox vs Fios

    I switch back and forth between AT&T U-verse and Cox to get their deals every year/couple of years (I know about the loyalty department with Cox, but their offers are getting worse and worse).  I can say that AT&T has much better TV packages with lots more channels.  Cox has issues with their...

    Retail Openings and Closures

    You can try www.endclothing.com.  It's based in the UK, so they have smaller sizes for men.  I've been happy with Nudie jeans lately, either the Thin Finn or Grim Tim cut.  Made in Italy and usually runs 200~300, a pair, but you can find them under 100.00 on sale on end clothing.

    AT&T Gigapower is here (1gbps or 300mbps up & down)

    U300 should be branded U-Verse, not DirecTV.  I just signed up for the 1Gb/U300 package, and I had to specifically select U-Verse to get U300.  The website defaults to DirecTV, since they're trying to steer everyone towards DTV.  The tech that installed my service even hinted that U-Verse is...

    AT&T Gigapower is here (1gbps or 300mbps up & down)

    Just signed up for Gigapower, 1Gb up/down (80/month) with U300 (75/month) with a 400 cash card.  Gigapower with TV gets me unlimited data, otherwise it's capped at 1TB/month.  I don't think I would ever get close to 1TB though...

    Bathroom floors - builder or contractor?

    Not a problem in the downstairs area, since the tiles will be laid directly on cement, no need for additional cement boards.

    Bathroom floors - builder or contractor?

    I would go with the builder on bathroom flooring because of the issues you will have with the upstairs bathrooms.  For the wet areas upstairs, the flooring contractor will need to add a layer of cement board to prevent the tiles from cracking when the floor flexes.  This will make your wet area...

    water softener buy unit and have it installed?

    I bought the GE water softener and had a plumber install it.  Total cost was about 1000.00 for the unit and installation.  I got the 43,000 grain unit from the GE employee discount site for about half the price of what Home Depot was charging.  Check if your company participates, since the...

    Measure E passes . So now which communities can see more MR ? More Taxes ?

    I have a rental property in the affected area, but live in an unaffected area, so measure E did not show up on my ballot.  I feel it's a little unfair that I didn't get a say in this, but now would have to pay for it.

    Tesla Model X

    I would be very bothered by the misaligned door handles if I have to look at it everyday.
