    Palin is a floozy. Daughter just following in mother's footsteps.

    What I don't get is why everybody is so upset about Palin's daughter's pregnancy being made a newsworthy campaign issue. It directly relates to her ability to manage, be that a state or a country: if you can't keep your own family in line (whatever it takes, like discussing birth control with...

    Palin

    forgive my ignorance, but what's the Bridge to Nowhere Program that Palin supposedly supports? and here is my 2 cents on her VP candidacy: if McCain is elected and then dies of a heart attack or old age (likely), she becomes president, right? So let me get this: Miss Alaska runner-up...

    Tutor Time Oak Creek on Royal Oak street - Any thoughts?

    Just wanted to add to this thread that I started that I did end up sending my toddler to that daycare, and it was horrible! They put kids to sleep in street shoes (a quick poll, does anybody sleep in their shoes in their beds?), they don't feed them ( and what toddler is capable of feeding...

    I need to lose 20 lbs in three months

    Panda, just a word of caution about fruit for dinner-although a healthy alternative to sweets, some of them are packed with calories, so I'd try some low-cal ones like apples. And you're right, the reason that diet of eating whatever you want during the day worked for me is that when I'm...

    Gold

    Thanks awgee for the tips, really saved me a lot of time! Lawyerliz, I also wondered how this confiscation would work. My guess is that the government would track down whoever bought gold recently (especially if all these dealers who sell it have to report it to some agency), and then quite...

    I need to lose 20 lbs in three months

    I agree with LawyerLiz, no need to starve yourself. Panda, here is what worked for me (lost 30 lbs) in 4 months: Before 3-4 p.m., you can totally pig out, whatever you want (still try to skp the sweets and other unhealthy stuff, do you know how many calories are in 1 slice of pizza? around...

    BkShopr--Any Ideas on Apartment Feng Shui?

    I just have a comment about a garage door opening in the middle of the night: it has nothing to do with feng shui, I had that happen to me numerous times at my townhome in Laguna Niguel, you just need to reset the system, it is all in the troubleshooting section in the manual, for mine, I was...

    Village Apartments in Irvine-Aye or Nay?

    Sidelinedbuyer: You don't get to pick where you get your parking spot, all of them are assigned. They way to get around that problem (if there is someone else with you in the car, of course), is to drop them off where the entrance to your building is and then drive to park in the structure. You...

    Village Apartments in Irvine-Aye or Nay?

    Upgrade Complete

    Well, sorry, but I did like the old layout better: with all the active threads on one page, is there any way to give this option by changing the view? Also, when you look at the thread's info, since everything in one color and font, hard to see what is the name of the thread or the person...

    Raising children in Irvine

    <p>I like this thread :)</p> <p>I'd also add that although I'm all for giving your teenage kids brand name clothes, cell phones, gadgets and the like, I'm absolutely against buying younger kids foods marketed to children (Happy Meals and so on) or corporate brands toys like Sesame Street...
