I took my 6-year-old for his first class tonight and he was the only kid in the class. So he got one-on-one attention which is great, but kind of defeats the idea of this after-school math program which is to make math all about fun and games with other kids. It's $135 for 4 hours of class...

Here's a different perspective for you to ponder: in my view, the women depicted in this story were so very, incredibly lucky...I cannot even imagine sharing my life with someone who loves me like that, and who I love back the same way. Yes, it is a travesty that they were forced to live a...

Lives in my neighborhood!

Her oldest child goes to kindergarten next year %-P EDIT: Darn Trooper! You beat me to tmare! Okay, I'll try it again. Is a cop from Connecticut!

From commentator Evan Garrison on <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123569898005989291.html#articleTabs=article">WSJ.com:</a> This is a great illustration of our tax system: Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they...

I used to live in Santa Rosa, a stone's throw from Plaza Vista School in Westpark. I moved for personal reasons, but it's a great family neighborhood and you really can't get any closer to a school than that.

Oooooh!!! I thought it was a charity thing, SoCal! (Especially knowing the kind of person you are, it was just the first thing that occurred to me.) Okay, now I understand. Hmmmm, definitely still fun though. Hey, so do you know of any volunteer things that we CAN get together and do...

Great, another person with 8 kids that my tax money gets to subsidize.

Thanks so much for setting this up SoCal, but I have my son that weekend and he has a baseball game that morning. What a great thing to do - I'm sure you guys will have a great time and will feel great about it!

Funny! You guys are certainly welcome to join us! Actually, I have been contemplating holding a Mama Mia party for several months now and so maybe I'll do it again on a day more convenient for most coupled people. I saw the show in Vegas and loved it. Since I saw it alone, I wasn't...

Interesting about the Porsche. Someone I have known for many years owns a Porsche, yet he scoffs at materialism and has no interest in impressing anyone. Everything else in his life (except for his high maintenance wife >:( ) is extremely down to earth and not showy. He just loves to drive it.

So I stopped off at the Katie Wheeler library today while waiting for my appointment time at the Toyota dealership. Okay, yikes, note to self, do not scroll through this thread at the public library or risk getting very strange looks from those nearby. People in libraries don't like to see...

ISM is now the proud owner of this shiny, happy new Venza: <img src="http://image.trucktrend.com/f/16452754/163_0901_09z+2009_toyota_venza+red_front_drivers_three_quarters_view.jpg" alt="" /> I'm very happy to report things went quite well at Tustin Toyota. I really couldn't be any...

A friend and her daughter are coming over to my new townhouse. I'm going to try out some new recipes on them, and we're going to watch "Mama Mia" on my 50" plasma. This has got to be my all-time favorite "cheer you up when you're sad" movie. I just LOVE this movie! Without fail it has me up...

Congrats on the job. That's great news! I have to ask, though. Going from a Porsche to an Accord? Is there a story behind that? Seems like there were many other automatic sedans you could have gone to that would have been more comfortable for someone used to a fancy car. (Not that I...
