    What do I need to play Softball?

    Ok, I used to be a baseball player, however now that I'm a bit older, I'm about to join a co-ed softball league. Problem is, I don't have any equipment. Anyone know what I need to go buy? Glove, batting glove, I'm assuming tshirt shorts will do, sneakers (good enough?) protector...

    I'd agree, the plan 2 is very undesirable.

    Villages of Columbus - Columbus Square - Verandas

    To put things into perspective, it seems prices have dropped 30K in the past 5 months. I stopped by Verandas one day to check out the homes. Plan 1 was going for 599K at the time. As you said, it's now 569K. I'd agree that plan 1 is the most cost effective, and best layout of the 3. I'd...

    Keep this in mind, the train blows the horn more frequently as it approaches the station. The closer you get to Jamboree, the louder and more annoying it will be. Personally I really like the Plan 1, however I think in a few years for the same money I can get a nice place in Woodbury, where the...

    Question about the Village at Irvine Spectrum

    On the plus side, I've heard there are many attractive women that live in these apartments. May be a big factor if you're a single dude. Just FYI.

    Villages of Columbus - Columbus Square - Verandas

    No matter the incentives, I'm having a hard time liking the location of these homes, which is across the street from the train tracks. I've walked by at night, and there is no way I would leave my window open with the trains rolling by at 11 PM. I could feel the ground shaking. Sure a few...

    About to buy a place at Savannah in Columbus Grove - Any advice on the area and development?

    Lennar's new home warranty is one year. You should also know this forum is mostly full of bears. Ask a question like "What do you guys think of this purchase" and 99.9% of the time, you'll get the answer "Don't buy now". Just FYI.

    About to buy a place at Savannah in Columbus Grove - Any advice on the area and development?

    I purchased a Lennar home, and so far I have been satisfied with their build quality and customer service. Whenever I have an issue, their guys respond within the next day. I noticed some pipe leaks during construction, but they took care of the problem and made sure there was no potential...

    So I just got my house appraised because I'm refinancing. I have a plan 1, and turns out my home's value has increased 1.4% since I purchased in 2007. Whoopeeeee.

    Any recommendations on financial advisors?

    On that note, Vanguard and Janus are great do it yourself sites that charge minimal fees due to limited advice. I've started to use that and I haven't looked back. And honestly, you are just a Google or Blog Forum away from getting any answer you would want to ask a Financial adviser...

    Any recommendations on financial advisors?

    I used to work in a Financial advising office. It's true, they do not work in your best interests. Instead of saying "how much I made for my client this week", their meetings consist of "I sold 7 annuities and 3 life policies this week". It's just a sales game. About a year ago I came...

    where to get cheap ski pants?

    I was just about to say PF McMullin, I picked up some pants and a Burton Ski Jacket for super cheap. It's the only place to go.

    Villages of Columbus - Columbus Square - Camden Place

    I went against the advice of basically everyone on this board and bought at the end of 2007. As you know, there were no foreclosures for me to look at back then. Only brand new, sparkling, overpriced homes. But at least I saved money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.

    Need New Washing Machine & Dryer

    Speaking of Sears, the Sears Essentials store on El Camino Real is closing. I checked it out today, there are some TV's 15% off, most washer/dryers/fridges are 15%. IMO, right now it's not much of a bargain. I was checking out a Dyson that was $499 with 10% off, $449. Basically you save on tax...

    BTW, if you haven't put down any of your information with the sales office yet, go with someone when you visit the sales office. Tell em that they referred you, and they get $5,000. You can offer to give him $500 for his time. :)
