    Home security system company recommendations?

    Actually... I'm not sure if a dog costs less in maintenance. I've had one for over a decade and if you combine food, care, boarding (when you go on vacation), shots, medical care etc etc... it gets up there. Burglar alarms don't have ailments that require expensive surgery and if it costs...

    Judge Cancels Mortgage

    Hmm... there's my tax dollars at work. Paying the judge to make me pay their mortgage. Methinks it's time to become delinquent so I can ride the free rent train. Neh... can't do it... morals are the lame.

    Irvine Homes blogger buys a home

    Eh... poetaytoe poetahtoe. I'm sure CK, myself and bunch of Irvinites (even Zovall) can shoot holes in your handbag theory... for most of us it's personal preference not brand status. Put it this way, Newport Coast has that "status" air about it... but if I had a choice of similarly...

    Irvine Homes blogger buys a home

    We haven't lived in a house for more than 6 years... so even though Erika and family bought in Orange, they may end up somewhere else down the road. As long as you can afford it now and you don't mind taking a hit in equity... or can hold out for maybe 10 years... it's okay to buy if it's a...

    A frosting lover?s dream at Baby Cakes Bakery

    And the minis are perfect for the kids... and for those who feel guilty eating a regular size one... or for big bacteria people like me who want to try 3 or 4 or 10 different flavors.

    Dear childplease Please note that...

    Notice I said "cage" match... because you definitely have me in the speed department so I need to keep you locked in. You probably got me in the brains department too... so no BrainAge rounds. It's funny, Kill Bill v2 was on Spike Monday night and Master Pai Mei is actually like BK... just...

    Dear childplease Please note that...

    Why is this in Parenting? Can I get a mod to beam this over to Off Topic? I would actually be more afraid of fighting with Grace than BK... I've seen BK and I think I can take him in a best 2 out of 3 cage match.

    American girl place

    Yeah... that's where I saw it... those were cool. Unfortunately... my kid is not into the cars as much as the action figures / Legos. I don't know how well they will do... if those were R/Cs... maybe... but I think they are the friction push kind. Maybe I'll make my own Lego party... I...

    American girl place

    That's why you have to focus on "building"... so it's not shopping any more. I'm actually talking about the party experience... I've been to tons of girl-oriented parties (even that quaint tea party place in Balboa Island) and I think something like this would work for boys too. The only places...

    Black Friday Deals

    Also, some TVs at Best Buy are already discounted to their BF prices. The deals on the Sammies and Sonys are pretty good (46" 60hz for less than $850 and 120hz for less than $1000). Also Walmart is open on Thanksgiving and will stay open through to BF in order to prevent the mad crowds from...

    American girl place

    They need some type of boy version of American Girl or Build-A-Bear. I saw some car one (I don't remember where) but they need something like Build-A-Robot/Action Figure/Alien. The ToysRUs in New York had this area where you can mix and match robot parts but there should be some place where...

    What do you do on the weekend?

    After 5 days of dealing with adults who act like kids... the 2 days and the 5 nights with my actual kids is actually nice. And FYI... most parents don't talk about their kids to non-parents... at least I don't. Usually I don't bring my kids up unless asked or I'm talking to someone else...

    Irvine Residents with COX Cable (need input)

    I'm having problems with Cox and HD Channel 4. I used to be able to pick up 4.1 and 4.2 using QAM (plugged directly into the cable, no box) but as of about 4 months ago, 4.1 and 4.2 say 'No Signal'. Regular over the air works (I have a QAM LCD hooked up to a cheap $10 antenna... which gets...

    H1N1 vaccine

    Well... I'm still here... and so is the rest of my family so it looks like it's survivable. It does seem to leave you with a nagging cough that I just recently got over. We never got the test to actually confirm it was H1N1, but people I know who I've had contact with did so either they got...

    What do you do on the weekend?

    I forgot what church RC goes to but is it a Korean one? I have some Korean friends and church takes almost all day Sunday... why is that? It's funny... on weekends me and the wife want to go out but the kids want to stay home play with their toys and/or watch TV. They love "stay home...
