Have you ever seen the calorie content of the kids' mac n cheese at CPK's?  It's 957 calories.  No wonder it tastes awesome.

So really, where do you store your non-monetary emergency supplies?  Spouse and I are debating where in the house to keep our stash, garage or in the house, and against inner walls or outer walls.  We don't have much closet space, so default is the garage if we want to keep it out of sight. ...

My co-worker used to tuck money away in books. A couple of months ago, she decided to purge her books and completely forgot to check them before giving them away here at work.  (We have a place where you can dump unwanted things and anyone can pick through them and take what they want.)...

I hear you.  I definitely feel more sympathy for your situation than my situation.  You paid the premium and made the commitment to live in the PV attendance area, so I don't think it is unfair that I am not guaranteed a spot forevermore at PV, even once we get in.  These are high demand...

I think I was ready to sign on for PV, but now am having second thoughts.  I don't want to have to stress out every single year about whether DC1 is going to get bumped because PV is not our neighborhood school, and I have a second child to worry about in a couple of years.  I don't want to be...

If you want to expose your child to other children, maybe you could just find someone else who would like to share your nanny a couple of days a week or a couple hours a day?  IMO, at that age, all kids do with other children is get them sick. Especially at daycare.  There's nothing more...

irvinehusky - wow...which grades are you waiting to open up?  Did you just move in the neighborhood within the last school year?  Or have you been waiting for YEARS? :-\

Thanks irvinehomeowner. We just got called today off the waitlist at Plaza Vista and they are giving us until tomorrow to respond.  Both are good schools, so our decision isn't going to be based upon the API scores.  The input I'm hoping for here is info about the culture and the teachers. ...

Which would you choose for a nice normal little kid?  Definitely not a genius or anything.  Hoping that my child will qualify for GATE someday, but very doubtful that APAAS is in the future for us.  Anybody know of any particular pros and cons of one school over the other?

We like it.  Haven't had any problems, issues, or negative experiences.  I've never heard of any bullying going on.  Teachers are pretty on top of that sort of thing.  If you have any specific questions, please fell free to ask.

My Dad's 70th birthday is coming up.  I was thinking for his birthday of putting together a nice golf outing for him and his golfing buddies, and a nice dinner afterwards.  But I know nothing about golf. Does anyone know of a nice golfing venue that sells gift certificates or golfing packages...
