    IHB Meetup - Monday November 9th 6:30pm-10:00pm at JT Schmid?s at The District (Tustin)

    I still owe IPO drinks from the trouncing of the Magic by the Lakers... wonder if that will get him to show. Boo on no cayci, vas and tmare... you guys need to coordinate the block parties better!

    How old were you when you had your first job?

    Yes... while I value the lessons that having a job at a young age may give you, I'm not convinced that being "privileged" is going to kill you either. This thread is ironic because the same people who argue that you don't necessarily need a good school to be successful use good parenting as...

    Homework?

    They did, but they didn't go in-depth into the homework. To be honest, I just glanced at the packet and in hindsight, I should have inspected it more and asked questions about how to work on certain assignments. The first few weeks looked easy enough, but once we got into actually doing it...

    Homework?

    Yes, if we could work out the after-school care thing. One convenient thing about our current school is that they start at 9am, and even then we sometimes have a hard time getting there. We love the school, but are just worried about the work level which I plan to talk to the teachers...

    Homework?

    Too bad Google doesn't do image translations. She is still struggling with some parts of her homework. Last week we hit a big wall where she didn't want to do any at all and threw a big fit. She's fine with the spelling, word problems and geography... it's the math, she has to do...

    Cell Phone Reviews

    I have both Sprint and AT&T. For cell service, Sprint uses the same technology as Verizon (CDMA) and coverage is pretty good, especially inside buildings. AT&T and T-Mob use the same tech (GSM) and may have wider voice coverage, but less 3G data coverage. AT&T/T-Mob phones are...

    Halloween in the hood.

    That was the first time it happened, all the years previous (about 5), no one ever took "advantage" of the unguarded candy bowl. I was so shocked by the "crime", I immediately reported it to the police and it was classified as an I-File*. I think that's when Irvine dropped down on the FBI...

    Bob's Big Boy - coming to new locations in L.A. & O.C.

    So who knows where the Irvine Bob's Big Boy was located? (this is a beginner's level IHO trivia)

    Oblivious Parents

    I can understand restaurants, even before I had kids, I was tolerant of such things. Planes are also in that "sometimes you can't avoid it" category. Movies on the other hand... not so much. Especially if it's at night and it's not a family film... I mean... it's not like the kid is...

    Christmas Creep

    Yeah... Halloween would probably get skipped too if not for the fact it's the next holiday consumers spend money on after Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanza/[insert wintertime holiday].

    Netbooks

    I do think netbooks have their place, just not as a main computer but more as a quick lookup computer for maps, Internet and email. Place one in standby mode in the kitchen (or whatever place is farthest from where you keep your main computer) and you have an "infobooth". I use one...

    General observation from the front lines about the Irvine housing market...

    So what cities outside of Irvine are your buyers going to? We visited south county over the weekend and like the homes... but it's far (at least to me).

    Halloween in the hood.

    I do think neighborhoods that reflect a more traditional setup than the newer home alcoves work better for Halloween. We did the mall thing this year because my youngest is still scarred from ToT 2 years ago when one of those battery operated motion detector hands terrified him. South Coast...
