    Holiday Gift Ideas

    Well, in that case....(I think the parents are out of line, but....) $100 savings bonds! I don't know that kids/teenagers are especially interested in meaningful... although, to give the parents the benefit of the doubt, perhaps they were trying to communicate that the kids had everything...

    Holiday Gift Ideas

    16 year old girl..... gift card for Forever 21 (assuming she's wears a size 10 or under, unless OC Forever 21 carry their "plus size" line) Subscription to teen Vogue or similar if she's interested in fashion. Movie tickets are also "unisex" at this age. Are either big Harry Potter fans...

    ForeclosureRadar Data

    I think properties listed as "A" still technically belong to the homedebtors. They have been notified that they are in default and an auction has been scheduled. But the bank won't own the home until the auction takes place and there are no other bidders. In theory, the homedebtor could still...

    Destroy, Build, Destroy (grass that is)

    Are you really sure you want to get rid of it??? I know it doesn't have the same "look" as fescue type grasses, but it's practically indestructible, and is the the only kind that holds up to dogs and heavy foot traffic.

    See "General Real Estate" and your wish is granted. (It probably should be moved to "outside of OC, but hey, we can find it...)

    Long Beach (Live in the LBC)

    Well, gee, that rules this property out for me.... I wouldn't spend that much on a house next to "multiple family housing" (even if I had the money, which I don't, but ya gotta have standards after all...)

    Long Beach (Live in the LBC)

    What is the large building directly to the left on the aerial view? That would likely have a big impact on desirability of the house.

    Health Insurance, you THINK you have it...

    That's true, no-vas, and I'll see if I can explain it. First, I think Mojo was talking about commercial insurance. Aetna, Blue Cross, those guys all negotiate flat rate payments based on procedures. So the hospital bills $10,000 for a overnight stay and hysterectomy, but the insurers pay...

    Vote on the Smite Feature

    Maybe I don't have enough internet forum experience... but to me... it just seems like a humorous way to say "gee, I liked that comment" or "Boy, that is silly/inane/boring/stupid" Apparently most people take it way more seriously...

    The death of an internet forum

    Being completely outside of OC.... I got hooked on "the blog which can't be named" first because of the funny comments about the terrible real estate listings. I don't really recall what first took me to the forums, but I stay because it's been such a wonderful source of information about real...

    I have one. Would you use it if you also had one.

    I would absolutely use one.... with great glee! The worst recent example - we were travelling by Amtrak back from San Diego (beautiful trip, BTW...) and had to switch cars because some 20 something girl would not stop talking on her phone, about her bar pickups, working as a stripper, etc. etc...

    Shopping with Baby

    I was all set to offer my favorite bit of advice to new moms: Always, always, always shop at malls with a Nordstroms. They have the best bathrooms for nursing moms!

    T. Woods is no longer one of my favorite athletes.

    Green Cactus.... thanks for the video! I think it happened just like that. Altho who knew Swedes had such tempers?

    Larry is at it again

    Garrison's quote "I don't know where sellers might find that, do you?" is actually directly out of this mornings IHB blog post. I was dismayed to see that phrase.... I don't know what Larry meant, but what was conveyed was that the IHB agency was the place to find "that." I guess I should expect...

    Health Insurance, you THINK you have it...

    The whole health insurance/hospital system is all smoke and mirrors as far as I am concerned. Hospitals have such bogus billing systems that it's impossible to know what their financial situation really is, and insurance companies just keep figuring that premiums, and investments of premiums...

    Is Larry a hypocrite?

    Yikes..... only ONE smite or exalt per hour.... and so many good late posts.....

    So...

    Props to Graphix for getting the avatar up.... but what in the world is it???? I want an elephant seal picture but they don't show up well that small. I will have to think up some other emblem of the Central Coast.

    What happened to the IHB and some suggestions...

    Thanks so much, SoCal78, for setting this up. I don't live in Irvine, have no intention of living in Irvine, but loved the forums for the range of information, and the personalities.... I hope a lot of people figure out how to make the change. (I don't think Zovall's announcement was all that...
