Thanks for the link, <strong>darsh09</strong>. That looks like one fun race! For those of you who have done it can you give me an idea of how much slower your time is for a run such as this versus a normal 10K time?

<blockquote>I would give you this info, or show you how to get this free public info, but then I would deserve 5 times the commission of your agent on principle alone, and I only accept ? and gold. </blockquote> I was hoping you would respond to this, <strong>graph</strong>. I am a relative...

What's the Mud Run? I'm not from the Irvine area but I have family in Newport Beach and I'm always looking for fun races to run. Can you post a link to their website? I'm hoping to attempt my first marathon this fall and the Mud Run might be a good training run.

I'm not adding anything new to this conversation but for what it's worth here's our experience with tubes. Our son had them put in when he was a toddler. He had a few ear infections the winter before he turned 2 years old. Prior to the tubes he was always pulling on his ears and acting whiny...

Aww <strong>Trooper!</strong> I liked you from the beginning but you completely won my heart with the <blockquote>I vacuumed and cleaned it</blockquote>comment!!! I think all conversations about the morality of walking should include a cleanliness loophole. Anything can be forgiven if you...

Oh man this is too funny!! We used to live in Buffalo, NY and people honestly did this...housing crash or no. You get a St. Joseph statue and you bury it in your backyard and he helps you sell your house. Everyone said that they knew it didn't REALLY work but they did it anyway. When we sold...

"There was the general attitude of "prices only go up -- from here. Sometimes the idiocy of realtors makes me angry..." If only it were just the realtors that believed this! I'm in Sacramento for pete's sake. I've been to Irvine and the Newport Beach area. I can understand why prices are...

SoulBro - you're right...the activity in this thread is indicative of the thread topic! My husband works at a large church so everyone in our social network knows we are new to the area and renting. What perplexes me is that people continue to initiate conversations with the "when are you...

I'm sorry this thread went haywire because I'm fascinated by the psychology of homedebtors. I rent in a small, planned community similar to Irvine (only MUCH smaller) just outside of Sacramento. Avg price/sqft for the 1st quarter of 2002 was $152. The prices peaked 3rd qtr 2005 at $253/sqft...

PeterUK - I LOVE THAT!!! I'm guessing you would buy it as a SFR not a Multi-unit? Gives a whole new meaning to "sending the kids up to their rooms!"

<p>Oh, oh, EVERYONE!!!! My dream house dropped their price!!!! Yep...after 58 days on the market they've decided to come down from $509,000 to $506,500. Which means that they dropped their price an amazing...0.49% Hallelujah!!!! </p> <p>We're getting closer! If the next price reduction...

<p>For the past few months I've been monitoring a small planned community here in Sacramento. In the time I've been tracking this community I've noticed that most reductions are done 1 or 2% at a time. It is rare that I've seen a reduction of 5% or more. Meanwhile out of a group of approx 50...

Woot.com covered the Spitzer/call girl issue today on their podcast. If you've never listened to a woot podcast you're missing something special!

We lived in NY for 15 years and Spitzer was my freakin hero! That's what ticks me off about the whole bloody mess...his whole identity was as the "good guy" standing up against those people who had so much money and power they thought they were above the law. Stinks that it when he's in the...

Thanks for being so open with us regarding your decision, <strong>giltee. </strong>I wish you the best as you and your wife enter into this wonderful phase of your life. Good luck with everything and congratulations!

<p><strong>glit</strong> - do you really mean that after making interest only mortgage payments you would only have $600 left each month? $600 for car payments, food, clothing, utilities, insurance, gasoline, vacations, movies, tv...everything? Does that seem reasonable to you? Are you...

<p><strong>ISB</strong>...are you talking about a sump pump? Everyone has one in the northern climates where they have lots of snow and spring flooding. When we lived in Buffalo, NY a huge early fall snow storm hit that knocked out power for weeks. Every block had at least one person who had...

<p>We're not in Irvine so this may not interest you...</p> <p>I'd love a SFR, 2000+ SF, 3-4 Bed, 2 or more Bath, at less than $200 sq/ft. Prices in our target neighborhood were around $180 sq/ft in 2004 and they're just slightly over $200 right now. So I'm optimistic. I'm just tired of...

<p>Anne and John Hoover are good friends of mine. I think they primarily deal with Newport Beach listings though. I can tell you that they have been in the RE market for many years and have never seemed to get caught up in the hype or Kool Aid distribution. I trust them with my life and my...

<p><strong>CK</strong> - I especially loved the second house. The pictures really highlight the spaciousness and light of the home. I always look at the kitchen first and imagine myself cooking while overseeing kids doing homework and bugging each other mercilessly. I could totally see myself...
