Chef's Kitchen next to 99 Ranch on Jeffery and Walnut is now Tofu King, the same chain as the one from Rowland Heights.  Food is not bad.

I'm looking at something like this: http://www.blinds.com/control/product/productID,103569 Looking to get the motorized option, but need to figure out how I want to run the wiring first...

$2178.00 direct from Whirlpool through the VIP link: http://www.talkirvine.com/index.php/topic,2198.0.html

Yeah, I can get the Homelink to program, but I have a Chamberlin/Liftmaster Clicker rigged up for my other car that doesn't have Homelink, and can't get that to program correctly, since it needs the learn button.  Looks like this wireless keypad needs a learn button to program too.

What brand of garage opener is IP putting in homes these days?  They put in a Marantec unit in our home (never heard of this brand before), which does not have a learn button, so I couldn't get these aftermarket remotes to work. 

Legends don't do this:

Not sure if the locals are just used to the weather.  I was there last week, and it was HOT, but what do they serve in the restaurant?  Lukewarm water.  All the Taiwanese people I was with just drank it up.  I asked for a big bucket of ice to go with my water, everyone stared at me like I was...

Not sure if these coupons work in the same way as MBZ, but MBZ had similar events in the past and the coupon says may be combined with other offers, and is in addition to price negotiated.  So I went to the dealers years ago, negotiated with them hard for 2.5 hours, got them down $3500 off...

If you're north of Roosevelt in CV, it's actually not that close to the freeway.  I've lived on the north side of Roosevelt, and I've only heard a faint sound of the freeway late at night.  I believe the only area where the freeway would bother me would be south of Roosevelt, which is mostly the...

There's no Macbook Pro as far as I can tell.  There is a new Mac Pro though, 1/8th the volume of the old cheese grater! 

In plan 3, how do you get into bedroom 2 and 3 from inside the house??

Just got some outdoor furniture I ordered from Pottery Barn.  At those prices, I didn't expect to have to assemble it myself.

I've seen the drawings my landscaper submitted to the HOA.  You don't need to take an AutoCad class, just need to find a piece of paper an a crayon.

This was on KPCC just now: http://www.scpr.org/programs/take-two/2013/05/24/31949/census-data-shows-irvine-among-fastest-growing-us/ They interviewed the mayor pro temp.  I thought it was hilarious how he said there is great diversity, but keeps talking about how his 3rd grade child can learn...

If you're fond of Pottery Barn furniture, they regularly include 15% off coupon codes on their catalogs, or you can buy them off eBay for about $5.00.  Then go to Cardpool.com and see what is the biggest discount gift card between West Elm, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids and William and Sonoma...

Some company supposedly owns the patent on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes and has a monopoly on the test, which is why it's so expensive.  After the whole Angelina Jolie Op Ed today, the company's stock went up 3%.

Thanks for the tip.  I know where I'll be for lunch this week!

O'shine's pai gu fan was one of the best.  His parents are running a small catering business, so you can still go to the chiropractor's office and order various Taiwanese "small eats" for Friday afternoon pick up. 

If this is still the same place, then it's been around forever.  Probably have changed ownership several times over the past couple of decades.  One owner actually opened up O'Shine Cafe on Jeffrey and Walnut years back, which is now Shi Do Rak.

A nice pair of rebuildable/refurbishable Goodyear welt construction shoes will last you a lifetime.  The pair of dress shoes I dropped off with Chan/Yang/Chan Yang cost me $500.00....15 years ago.  I think I dropped it off with him 5 years ago, so it lasted 10 years before needing to be...
