the difference in zip codes might depend on the type of soil/rock in that area - I know that I have a friend who's realtor told them they didn't need earthquake insurance because they were on rock instead of sand (or something like that - I am sure that realtor had seismology training right -...

remember that an earthquake can also displace you out of your home for quite some time while things are being repaired - I believe (double check this please) that earthquake insurance can help with some of these costs as well. Personally, when I own a home in So. CA I will buy earthquake...

not really sure that housing should be a goal per se - it should be something that fits with what is happening in your life at the time. I think maybe with all the appreciation over the past years we have begun to see getting into a house as a goal for financial well being - but financial well...

we got the email too - had looked at Stonegate in Woodbury - I looked them up using the new website (woo hoo!) and I don't think prices have budged an inch.

anonymous - after watching that I feel the same way - scary! although the one in Egypt and the one in S. Africa look nice!

<p>Blackacre - I have been wondering the exact same question about Hawaii - where to go with young kids!! My husband wants to take advantage while we are living here and go to Hawaii! So glad you asked it! </p> <p> I was told Hanalei on Kawaii is really nice - anyone been there with kids (or...

<p>Bora Bora is in my top 5 too - friend went there on her honeymoon and the pix were incredible. </p> <p>I also would like to go to Egypt to see the pyramids, Greece, Easter Island and St. Petersburg</p> <p>I have been lucky enough to have seen most of the major sites in NZ - very beautiful...

<p>Aren't they supposed to change the locks everytime someone new moves in???? I need to double check on this issue if they don't automatically change them.</p>

another plausible explanation - part of the reason the rate of autism has consistently risen is that we are diagnosing it more efficiently and much more liberally - I personally can see much more liberal diagnosis than a short 10 years ago.

<p>Oh, IrvineCommuter - did you have to bring up the autism/vaccine debate! </p> <p>I second what you said with emphasis: <strong>"Go to Africa and see if immunity shots have helped or hurt people"</strong></p>

<p>Have you actually ever worked with the FDA blackacre? If you had you would realize that they simply don't rubber stamp anything. Not to say there are not areas for improvement - but the drugs approved by the FDA go through quite a process to protect the public.</p> <p>And, one of the...

wow - interesting article about the worms!

<p>allergy dr - making that distinction to friends and family is one of the hard things for parents of food allergy children - many people aren't aware of the difference between intolerance - which leads to discomfort - and serious allergic reaction - which can lead to death if not handled...

<p>I have never before that it was not what you were allergic to but simply being allergic that was the inherited trait. Do you know if that spans both food and environmental allergies (i.e., trees, grass, etc) i.e., just having the heredity for environmental allergies is enough to stimulate a...

<p>thanks for the clarification allergy dr - I guess this is your stuff! :)</p>

<p>I have heard about the cleanliness hypothesis regarding food allergies - although quite honestly never so nicely and succintly as you put it fair economist! I am not arguing its merits because I do believe it - however, it is hard to take that theory and understand how an individul person...

I grew tomatoes on my deck last year using an earthbox - I was not in CA or FL though! They came out wonderful - huge plants - worked great - no room on my tiny patio here in CA for the kids toys and the earthboxes - kids are winning that battle so far. Actually gardening is one of the biggest...

<p>not taking a nap and going to bed too late can also give you dark circles! :)</p> <p>What is a gormand - I have never heard that word??</p> <p>I do agree that corn is overused in our society - not to mention the political implications of corn use for feed food instead of for feeding...

<p>blackacre-seeker,</p> <p>I understand that you feel very strongly about this issue - and I know you have the best in mind for your child and of course your comments about food are validated by our medical community. However, it is simply not true that kids who eat fast food or sugar are...

please - "they look pale" - a bit judgemental there. I think it is great that you have been able to raise your child without giving him/her fast food or sugar - and I do support your attempts to be as organic as possible. However, it is more helpful to other mothers to share your strategies as...
