Haven't spent much time here during the past months. Can anyone share with me why bkshopr is leaving??

Try Bay Alarm....one time my wife triggered the alarm when I was out of town. She disabled it then went to shower - she forgot she needs to standby the phone for their call back to confirm passwords. Two Irvine police cars showed up within mins....

I sold cars ( the last one was Dec '08 for our three year old Honda minivan) several times, and transferred lease several times. I think you need to be very careful in screening buyers. When I post my ads, I actually states that I will only do the deals at the bank of my choice in the area. I...

Sorry to hear that. Depending on the age, directional changes should be seriously considered. The major civil engineering firms all had major layoffs. AE firms actually have been very slow outsourcing work overseas in the past many years, and many are seriously starting now. With work...

New_to_Irvine, Thanks a lot for posting this information. My 5.5 year old boy is crazy about Legos. He can do 1000 piece legos by himself with very little help from me. I just called that school, they seems to have quite bit of openings. I was told they have 20 plus kids in the Lego League...

I don't know HOW you can be 100% sure he has no chance during the next election? He won by a little over 10% last time, and he is from SC. When this is all said and done, he MIGHT be a HERO in SC. Regardless how he did it, it worked. this is from MSNBC (not foxnews): "Members of the group...

Frankly, i don't care how it is done, but it worked in terms of raising the issue. It is not illegal, and no one really got hurt. Ya, it probably IS out of line, but i guess this is one of those cases that ends justifies the means. Don't see much downside, and only upside (regardless what...

If the majority won't listen, and you have NO real way of expressing it, and get media attention, what would you do? You have to find your own outlet. All minority take the "obstruction" route in order to be heard, regardless their party, or which country. by the way, demo. booed bush during...

everyone has electricity, food, and fuel, right? But we don't have a delivery system similar to "single payer"? I do agree insurance shouldn't be linked to one's employment. Everything the gov. involves are so inefficient, why would you think this will be different?? If you think the...

agree it is distasteful. However, the two amendments have been voted down more than a month ago, and wasn't much discussions in the press. The sad truth is: can anyone here think of a better and more civilized way to bring this very important subject to the forefront of the discussion and on...

it is not the right way to do it under most situations, IMO. However, it worked. This issue is ALL over the news, and frankly BO has no choice but to make sure he doesn't actually lie as a result of the final bill.

Flat rate svs with predetermined scope of services provided could be part of the a la cart. Only having the a flat rate svs. to replace the current % is an improvement towards the current system, but still doesn't tailor towards individual needs, espeically on buying side. I think buyer agent...

Greats points made by awgee. I actually found buyer agent adds very min. value when they take me to see a house. (sames goes car salesmen take me out for a test drive, and add always useless comments, and 110% of the time I know more about the car then the damn sales guy). I actually rather...

As a sophisticate home buyer, I would like to see is a la cart service menu. I won't be the first one or the last one to say that the commission vs. service provided is completely off generally speaking. I think any agent should recover their normal business expenses based on a sustainable...

You guys are so bad... Tat site was featured on Wall Street Journey a year ago, and the founder got a ton of publicity. He was even interviewed on talk radio 790 on morning when I was on the way to work.
