IMO, no. API scores are not important. With Northwood High, you get the name and prestige factor, and maybe a little bump in resale value. But you also get more crazed parents/students and more academic competition for your stressed out kids. I would probably pick Woodbride or Irvine over...

And Casey was also on "Laguna Beach: The Real OC" for anyone who remembers back that far. Second season, I think. She was the obnoxious, super-rich "new girl" in town. She was memorable because she had a scene where she called down to her maid/cook to ask her to make her a quesadilla and bring...

I think that common core, along with integrated or whatever math they are now using, will eventually be forgotten and left in the dust. The reason: NONE OF IT MATTERS. Our kids will still lag behind the rest of the world, because most Americans (sorry) are not that intelligent, and we have a...

I agree 100%.

Even though I am totally opposed to expensive cookies, we tried Cookie Connection today because we were in the area and my son wanted a cookie. The cookies looked like nothing special to me, but he said it was the BEST SUGAR COOKIE HE'S HAD IN HIS WHOLE LIFE. He also tried a snickerdoodle...

It's funny, every time I go to Target I see hugely pregnant Chinese women and their husbands buying all kinds of baby feeding supplies. Not just formula, but also baby food, which obviously a newborn won't be eating. Maybe they're sending it to China, who knows. They're always buying a lot of...

Hahaha, I must be super jaded because I wasn't even shocked. I felt sorry for that girl. She seemed so desperate and sad. I felt sorry for the guy too, because he seemed nice. But COME ON. There was no way the girl in that pic was a school janitor. School janitors are not hot young girls who...

I've been waiting for this place to open so I could try it. I'm not a huge fan of Smashburger because I don't like the flat patties. I know that's their whole concept, but I don't understand why smushing something until it is flat and skinny is such a great thing. How does Mooyah compare to G...

Speaking of expensive cookies, have you guys tried Baking Betty's at Fashion Island? They are ridiculously expensive, and not even that good. Seriously, the 3 for $1 cookies at McDs are better. I don't know why people would pay so much for a cookie.

LOL at "no thank you, I'm fine" during labor! You know, they really should not let attractive people do these kinds of healthcare jobs. Good-looking people should just stick to being actors and models and pharmaceutical salespeople!

Sorry if this has been talked about before, but I've been a very bad TI'er and haven't kept up with the threads. Not that I can really keep up with the threads in the Real Estate section because it's crazy town over here...but anyway. We visited Orchard Hills last week, just for fun. We drove...

Hey girl!!!!!! I've missed you too! :)

It's actually not so great having an attractive dentist. Remember, this is a person who sees you when your mouth is all contorted, you're wearing a paper bib, and you're drooling all over the place. That's not the way you want to look around an attractive member of the opposite sex. I once went...

I read about this in the news yesterday and it made me think of Talkirvine, since we used to talk about it all the time. My sister called me and asked if I knew birth tourism was a thing, and I was like, duh, haven't you seen all the fobby pregnant Chinese ladies at South Coast Plaza? Anyone...

They come out with this every major election season. The first issue always starts with a note from the publisher explaining why he wants to "start a newspaper" and claiming to be unbiased (ha). And the whole rest of the "newspaper" is pro-Agran articles. And then after election day, you never...

Hi Socal! No, I didn't move to Arizona...maybe Panda is confusing me with someone else? I'm still around, so I just might see you at Costco again someday. :)

Thanks for posting this story, IHS. This is what I have always believed as well...it's better to be a a big, smart fish in a small pond than a regular smart fish in a sea of other smart fish in a regular pond. Wow, what a wordsmith I am...does this even make sense? I think IUSD prepares its...

Yum! Now I have a craving for a double scoop cone with chocolate malted crunch and mint chip. I remember back in the day, it was only like 30 cents for a double scoop. I overheard a girl in Starbucks talking about her visit to Creamistry the other day. She said she was there for 2 hours...
