    Favorite Irvine Floorplan?

    I actually like Los Colinas Plan 3 in PS. Two years ago when we looked at it, it was priced at $1.25 million. Now it is at $1 million. They recently sold one at around $965K. A new phase will be built out in 2010. Hopefully we will see some more price reduction.

    How old were you when you had your first job?

    My husband and I didn't work until we graduated from graduate programs. My husband too started to work at 28 years old. That fortunately didn't turn us into taking everything for granted. All the "pre-job" years meant to us the same type of hard work without being paid! I did feel the...

    Irvine Unified now requiring annual proof of residency

    I agree that Asian parents tend to press kids for good grades, but I disagree that Asian parents encourage kids to cheat. My parents were very strict on my brother and myself, and pushed us for good grades of course. My brother may have been spanked for getting poor grades, however, he would...

    The closest Chinese foot massage?

    There is one in the Ranch 99 market. When you walk in, go to your right hand side before entering the market. It is at the end of the hall way.

    Average age for boys to start 1st grade

    I wouldn't worry about him being bored. My son is in K right now, and his reading level is 2nd grade, and his math is third grade. I did notice that he is always among the first students finishing tasks during the class. While other kids continue their work, he is usually asked to read his...

    Summer Baseball

    Hey, shouldn't this belong to the school board?:-) We are interested, but we are two working parents, so if the sessions are on weekdays and in the middle of the day, we won't be able to make it....

    Jenny Hart or Good Shepard Preschool

    Can't agree more. I even wondered, did I piss her off and don't even know about it? Glad to know I was not the only one feeling so! But most the teachers are very good. There were only two in the 3 1/2 years that I didn't care too mcuh about, and my son always had someone whom he had strong...

    Jenny Hart or Good Shepard Preschool

    My son was in GSP for 2 1/2 years. I think it is one of the most expensive preschools in town, but also the one with the lowest student/teacher ratio, which justifies the tuition. Plus they always have volunteers from the church helping in the classrooms. We had great experience with them...
