    30 Day Fitness Challenge 2015

    For us "mature" guys trying to get under 40% body fat,  :P is lifting heavy weights the only way to gain back enough muscle to burn more calories?  Or can doing own body weight exercises like pushups, etc. be enough?

    is talkirvine going to have a mobile version?

    I do have one but us old guys still have a hard time reading anything other than simple e-mails on these things.  :P  Why can't they make slim, multi-fold screens...wait, Apple, here I come.

    Friday Boredom - Your Pet Peeves

    I think these kinds of rules have to change as 20 or 30 feet isn't far enough to prevent all the smoke from being blown towards the door.  Somewhere way away and the waste basket for the butts far away from doors or where others have to pass by. My parents were both chain smokers.  My dad died...

    Does anyone else get the OC Register delivered?

    I canceled a while back and the Sunday paper stopped coming so I thought that was it.  Then, for the last two months or so, the Sunday paper started coming again.  But none today.  I got one of those paper renewals several weeks ago and I thought ignoring the renewal would stop my subscription...

    All 2013 salaries for Irvine Unified

    Forget engineering, be a teacher around here.  LOL.  What happened to the ol',  poorly paid teachers of my time?  :P  I assume this doesn't even factor in the cushy retirement benefits right?

    1966

    Unless the stupidity of the last bubble is repeated many times (which won't surprise me if it happens again), I can't see our homes gaining like these ones in 1966.  It'll go up for sure but probably not as much. The spoiled kids around here will probably say, "why didn't my parents buy 10...

    1966

    Wow, you could buy 30 of those houses for what you can get for one now.  Wish my parents bought ten of those and passed it down to me.  :P

    Please do not confuse this old guy any further.  I'm still trying to figure out what those math changes mean.  I'm guessing we're not supposed to like it?  :P

    What the FA?

    No, no, I'm talking about Free Agents.  :P Maybe I haven't been paying attention the other years but is this year's football Free Agent moves somewhat abnormal?  It seems so may big names moving and anyone that's getting older or not living up to his bloated paycheck is being cut. Don't you...

    Powder Bathroom

    Do you have any evidence of rats (droppings, etc.) in your attic and possibly on any of your fan covers?  If so, then that would be the most likely scenario.  Or perhaps a bird got into your attic and died?  I assume your powder room is on the first floor but when I got my place I noticed old...

    Dow?

    Most of the natural resources stocks are near their 52 week lows so it's not surprising.  As they say, buy when the blood is gushing out (hopefully, not your own) onto the street.  This could be a good time to buy unless it drops a lot more from here, which I have experienced before.  If that...

    School Parent Portal

    I am o.k. with the O, S, N and A to F grading but the OT, AC, NA isn't very helpful as the best you can get is OT (On track to meet year end standards).  And what really does OT mean for my kid?  I have twins and so I can tell they are progressing differently in the same grade but they both get...

    College majors for my kids

    I wasn't sure if this question was for me?  But if so, yes.  You can program from anywhere so it'll be nice and a skill I'm sure will still be valuable 20, 30 years from now.  My nephew just graduated with a CS degree and he gets to work from home one day a week.  Imagine that for a starting...

    Dow?

    I think if you want to make decent money on small moves, like some on here do, you have to put in a lot per stock to begin with, unless you do options?  I usually put in less amount per stock but to make any reasonable money, it would have to double or triple.  But I tend to hold for longer periods.

    College majors for my kids

    I get the possible payback going to an Ivy school or some of the top private schools for useful degrees.  But, there's many of those little no-name private schools that cost just as much.  I don't get that at all.

    College majors for my kids

    Maybe I should have asked should kids major in engineering or engineering, assuming they can't get into med school or law school?  :P  I already knew what I'm pushing my kids into before seeing this article...Computer Science.

    Average Penis Size

    This was pretty funny except for the one about "Where are you from?", although the skit was funny.  I get that annoying question all the time, even from co-workers that I worked with a long time.  I always want to ask them "When did you get here from Ireland?".  ::)  Unfortunately, I have to...

    Costco to stop taking AMEX cards

    I'm not sure I understand what you are asking?  Will they run a new credit check on a member before sending him/her a replacement Citi Costco card?  If anybody's been charging up a storm and not paying on time then they shouldn't get an automatic replacement.  :P  Just good business?  Or, are...
