    Park Avenue is my new favorite resturant in the OC

    Happy Anniversary man. I was just telling my buddy yesterday how I actually enjoy the smell of everything in the shop; Everything except gear oil. Nasty! Hope it didn't involve carpet.

    Will the tax increase in OC change your purchasing plans?

    Economists will say tax is a dead weight loss that is split between both buyer and seller depending on supply and demand. These days I would think the sellers will be paying most of the tax anyway, one way or another. No car purchases planned for me, and probably not for several years. By...

    Have you taken cooking classes?

    I would say definitely hands on. Watching others do things gets boring. If you want to make it a really good experience make sure the class leaves with more than they came in with beyond food in tupperware. Maybe offer some tips on selecting meats and produce or pairing wines with the food...

    New words from Gary Watts

    I don't see where it says short sale. Was the listing changed? It says accepting backup offers.

    steam cleaning and paint

    Paint coverage epends on what you're painting. You can get 400 square feet per gallon of latex using a sprayer on smooth drywall, wood and siding. Stucco and concrete have more surface area . Brushing typically requires more paint than spraying. Throw in these variables and you might be...

    How Do Stocks Distribute Money?

    I understand the question and I think it's valid. I once posed it to a CFP and couldn't get a satisfactory answer. If you buy stock in a company, you might own .00000001% of the company and a certificate to prove it. But without dividends, what good is a piece of paper? Agent, you have...

    My useful and useless facts thread

    Did you know that the moon rotates and revolves at the same rate? Every Earth-based picture, drawing, painting, etc from Galileo's day until the present is of the exact same image. Earth-bound eyes can never see the dark side of the moon, which isn't always dark, just hidden from Earth.

    IHB Meetup Roll Call

    Then we shall attach the stone of shame to you. I'll be up for a Sat or Sun event. Sorry I couldn't make it last night, I had class. EDIT: Guess that sounds like an insult, but it wasn't meant to be. ;)

    How Do Stocks Distribute Money?

    To paint it a different way, if you owned 100 shares in a company that would never, ever pay a dividend, cost $1/share, made a constant $1/share net income, and had no debt, would you sell it? The answer is it's a silly question, because a company like that could never exist as it would...

    Credit card article by Meredith Whitney

    My card had a $28k limit, which was absurd considering my income when they (voluntarily) upped it to that amount. I didn't use the card but I was concerned the cancellation would have an impact on my FICO. But my Experian score didn't change, so hopefully my FICO didn't either.

    What do you use your garage for?

    Most likely the case. In LA county the rule is something like you can't park an RV on the same street for more than 2 days per month. Technically you could move it every 2 days...83rd st, 84th st, 85th st, etc. Of course the reality is in LA county few people care enough to do this and...

    What do you use your garage for?

    The covers might be a good thing. Every one of those cars might be at least 40 years old. I see a Volks van, a 240z, a Mustang, a Corvair (?), and a, uh, a dune buggy? The one in the middle has me stumped. I bet the garage is full of Ferraris and Porches. ;)
