LOL! Actually, I need the 3 car garage for 3 cars. :P

Interesting thread. I too am considering buying in North Irvine or Tustin. If the house/lot is right, I'd be more than happy to pay $300/sq ft. Heck, I'd pay $350/sq ft for the right home. Problem is, I'd have to sell my current home, although really that is more of a time issue than a pricing...

Um, its a plug-in hybrid, meaning up to 50 mile range, there is *no* fuel consumption. Gotta keep up with the times, man. :)

WTF? Wandered across this property located in Corona del Mar. Almost $4k/sq ft. Bought 4 months ago, and then apparently immediately relisted for $3M *higher*. And no, its not the huge estate in the background, its the little shack in the foreground. <a...

Been banking with everbank for years. Have never had a problem with them.

I think I'm going to start the National Association of Blogtors where we train Blogtors™ in the fine art of selling a blog. If you're looking to buy a blog, you know you can trust a Blogtor™ to show you all kinds of blogs that discuss subjects you're not interested in, that have either way too...

"If I were CR, I would sell." Nah, blogs only go up in value. In fact, you should all be buying up blogs, before we're priced out forever.

"i guess one of my personality trait is to be suspicious of any claim and try to evaluate both sides before coming to a particular conclusion." Actually, this is not what characterizes a conspiracy theorist. A Conspiracy Theorist is suspicious of claims made by any body/group/organization...

What I meant with my comment is that IgE's role in the human immune system is poorly understood as is much of the immune system in general. IgE is obviously involved in allergy and also is activated during parasitic infections, especially intestinal ones. However, the immune system is so...

blackacre seeker's other beliefs: 1) NASA staged the moon landings 2) Two, if not three shooters were involved in the JFK assassination 3) Pop Rocks, when combined with soda (especially Coca-Cola) and swallowed, will cause your stomach to explode 4) If you step on a crack, you...

I never claimed drinking Coca-Cola was *healthy*. :) While it is true their "complete" recipe is a trade secret, most of it is known. It is widely believed that the Pepsi company either obtained the entire recipe (illegally) or completely reverse-engineered it as well. Anyway, Coca-Cola...

"Coca-cola contains phosphoric acid, you know. Is it smth you would want to consume?" Um, and oranges contain citric and ascorbic acid. Do you drink orange juice? My point is, the amount of phosphoric acid in Coca-Cola is miniscule. "they have to replace the pipes very often due...

It does span all allergies. Food allergies are much less common (especially in adults) than is perceived in the general public. Most of what people call "food allergies" are probably better called "food intolerances"; the most common would be dairy products. Many people lack or do not...

"There is a theory that the reason we have so many food allergies is that our houses are too clean. Allergies are based on the IgE system, which is primarily an antiparasite system. Parasites often have systems to trick the immune system, so the IgE system looks really hard to find something to...

"What will the new year bring?" – More diesel-powered cars. "What will happen to the dollar?" – Will continue to slide in value, prevented from collapse by foreign banks/governments seeking to avoid larger-scale financial problems. "To the economy?" – Mild recession similar to the...

This topic has been gone over several times on the board already. Taking out all of the "intangibles", both positive and negative, to renting vs. owning, the breakeven point comes down to a multiple of somewhere between 160 (IR's #s) and 200 (my #s) times rent. This takes into account the tax...

I would agree with above posts listing Patek and AP as the most "luxurious" of watch brands. Unless your wife travels in certain social circles or is a watch enthusiast/collector, she is unlikely to know many of those brands outside of Rolex/Omega, etc. As to why people spend so much on...

"I like to say 90% of everything is crap. Goes for medicine too." True, but when it comes to medicine, that 10% may save your life. This time, I agree with almost everything you've said. The system is a mess, it would be nice for us to unionize (except for the fact that it would be...

Lawyerliz, I don't know why you felt it necessary to make a personal attack ("I bet Allergy Dr. may have spent more time writing up his defense than he spends with some of his patients."), but obviously you don't really read my posts as I had promised Peter at least 45 minutes of my time...

"How did I score on your test? :)" Well, I was trying to make a point, not quiz you, but since you asked: 1) The standard treatment in the U.S. would be 250mg twice a day for three days for an uncomplicated UTI 2) You didn't mention what you would do if she had a history of seizures, so...
