My credit karma score went up a point or two after one of the inquiries dropped off.  Also, I've heard that if you pay off your credit card before the statement closes that can increase your score especially if you have a low credit limit.  Something about utilization percentages.  I have no...

I vaguely remember that they found a bunch of fossils when they were building the toll road around UCI/Bonita Canyon, but who cares about a bunch of dinosaur bones unless they can be used to make fossil fuel to help pay for those roads.  But they were preserved or something for historical...

What is going on?  We have been bombarded with phone calls and junk mail from all political parties.  I don't remember it ever being this bad.  Unfortunatley, I always answer the phone, but I think I am going to vote for whomever who has not sent out harassing mail or calls even if it means...

I know what you're saying.  It's the same thing with Quail Hill.  That's why it's so undesirable to live there. -Surrounded by two freeways -mountains that trap the air -No views of the hills. -noise pollution from Irvine Meadows or Verizon wireless plus the added crime that comes with being in...

really?  I think I need to move to Woodbury then.

Do you want to know what I hate in a neighborhood?  Youtube videos.  I'm sure it's generational, but I grew up in a time when interaction on the internet was limited to....  well there was no interaction on the internet when I was a teenager and college student. I suppose it's time for me to...

Obviously the same genius who designed the entire place.  As much as I hate the Irvine Company, they would never have come up with such a convoluted configuration. The one thing Irvine does well is to make decent shopping centers with adequate parking.

I think you mean one day every ten years.

How exactly do you define value?  What are the Mello Roos again?  and why do you have to pay to drive on the toll road after paying all that money in taxes?  I think the Irvine Company should provide a free Fast Track good for five years to anyone who buys one of their new homes.

I voted yes and I don't live in Woodbury.  My experience with woodbury housing is strictly limited to the Irvine Company promotions during the new openings.  I go because they promise free hot dogs, hamburgers and coupons even though I have no intention on purchasing a new apartment.  I cannot...

Funny, because the last time I went to the Ralph's in Woodbury, the cashier was rude and non attentive.  I won't blame the store because she was just one person, actually the only person, working in the check-out line.  The Ralph's on Culver is old and dirty but I found the people nice.  I...

Ok, so you were talking about the patrons and not the employees.  What can I say?  I am a product of Irvine schools and have poor reading comprehension skills even though I excel on multiple choice exams. I really can't read such long blocks of text at one time.

At every other Trader Joes, Long Beach, Torrance, UTC the workers just seem to be nicer and friendlier. Now TJs workers are already known to be customer friendly, but really walk into the TJs at Woodbury and go to the one on Walnut right afterwards; and you?ll know what I mean. For time sakes...

I don't know who you are Eugene, but I am impressed that you have already received more than sixty thanks on only eight posts.  I need to start paying more attention.

I don't live in Woodbury and I don't shop in Woodbury but I never go there because there are too many lights on Sand Canyon.  If the 133 were not a toll road I would spend my money at that shopping center since I would not have to deal with the crowds that I hate.

Hard choices since I am dense but still have an opinion.

One of my biggest pet peeves are parents who drive their kid three blocks to elementary school.  I don't care if you're running late.  Get out of the damn car and let your kid walk and if you're too paranoid, walk with him.

"How old is old enough to walk to school?" Kindergarten.  My mom walked me to school on the first day, but after that I was on my own.  I walked home with classmates.  If it had been up to me I would have walked myself to pre-school even if it was more than five miles away.  I'm sure it was...

Luckily the new Housewife is from Irvine so now everyone will want to move here.

Interesting discussion.  My parents moved to Irvine when my father attended UCI.  Back then there weren't a lot of options for a Loco family to move other than Laguna, but that even then, was out of their price range.  Newport Beach, Villa Park, La Habra Heights, Fullerton, Anaheim Hills and...
