    This is why I'm (and most Asians) are so F***** Up!

    Raising children is one of the most challenging duties, and unfortunately, most parents are ill-prepared for it. Parenting ends up being a on-the-job training kind of situation. By the time the kids have turned adults is when parents have gained enough wisdom to be better parents, but it's too...

    LA Unified schools closed today due to "credible threat"

    What got me is the fact that Ramon Cortines, the superintendent of LAUSD is 82 years old. You have got a school district with 1100+ schools and 700K+ students, and the best person you can put up as a Superintendent is a twice retired 82 year old man who shows up at a press conference wearing a...

    In 'which' God We Trust

    God singular should be fine. Everyone has something in their life that they dedicate their majority time and effort into, whether it be something spiritual, familial,  societal or material. That's one thing they are betting their life on. That is their God. So "In God we trust" should resonate...

    How do you spoil your kids

    Ha, that sounds just like our routine with kids. Their TV/tablet time is very limited. Eating out is the where we are more lenient.

    Your 1st purchase at Amazon

    Great thread! Mine was 1999, bought a couple of Java books for college. I am impressed that Amazon still  has all the data from back then. With utilities and banks you run into a dead end trying to retrieve bills/statements more than 3 years old.

    would you take your kids (middle or high school) out of school for vacation?

    We have done 2 weeks off post-Christmas break. I know of other parents who have done something similar. Both the teacher and the principal have to be approve the time off. The teacher will give a homework packet so that your child doesn't fall behind much.

    Anyone using Drip Irrigation ?

    Drip irrigation delivers water at a much  slower rate  then sprinklers. So yes, you would need to let it run longer than what you would run sprinklers. 3 minutes is definitely low. I currently have mine set at 10 minutes, 3 times a week. I came across this website with a quick...

    What to do with old car: Private Sell or Trade in?

    I don't think a Cashiers Check can bounce if it's legit. The bank would only generate the Cashier's Check if the buyer's account has the funds. And once it's generated you treat it like cash. The only reason a Cashiers' Check would bounce is if it is fake. But since you are witnessing the...

    What to do with old car: Private Sell or Trade in?

    I have bought and sold through Craigslist. When I bought the car, the seller accompanied me to the bank . We both went up to the teller window where the teller generated a Cashiers check. That way he knew that the Cashiers check was legit.

    Which system is better for irrigation at back yard? Sprinkler or Drip?

    I converted a sprinkler system to drip irrigation about 2 months ago for my planters. So far I am happy with it. The thing that I like the most is that water is used efficiently. Before the sprinkler would be spraying water all over the planter area, now I only see patches of wet dirt around the...

    Best Mexican in/around Irvine

    La Cocina De Ricardo in Lake Forest - They have a very extensive menu. I like the fact that they also provide this hot sauce on the side that can be added to the salsa to make it as hot as you like. They also have this side dish of grilled onions/jalapenos on the menu, which I haven't seen...
