    Please be cautious and aware COYOTES have been spotted on the Open Jeffrey Trail

    It's probably due to the Santiago Canyon fire back a couple of weeks ago.  I'm sure it has disrupted their source of food.

    Marigold at Cypress Village

    The reason for the moths are due to the Privet Hawk Moth.  The catepillars feast on Privets.  I just had about 10 in my backyard that ate every single leaf off of my small tree.  My kids and I absolutely loved watching them grow however my wife was grossed out.  They eventually left though so...

    First Day of School Tips

    I'm a father of two kids 3 and 5 yrs old.  My oldest one has been in Montessori since 2 so I think he was up for anything (new school, new home, new friends, etc).  I told my son that school is going to be so FUN!  When I went to pick him up the first day he asked me, "I thought you said school...

    No wonder why the parking lot was so full in the Cypress Village Shopping Center.  I had to park in the back but Albertsons was virtually empty.  Tsk Tsk Tsk!!!

    California's 529 plan

    California's 529 Plan = www.scholarshare.com = TIAA CREF.  Not too many funds to choose from.  Very basic choices.  I got board of the age based portfolios so changed it to the US Equity Index Fund which does slightly better.

    Dow?

    I really like AAPL also and this might be an opportunity to stock up on some shares.  However, I really like GILD.  I bought in April and even now there's so much room for growth with the EPS at around 12 based on earnings forecast.  Truly amazing!  I'm looking forward to what the next two years...

    Spiders!

    Beware of these pest control companies!  My last house I signed a one-year contract for quarterly maintenance service.  I never received a bill due to bad accounting by the service company.  I'm not even sure if they serviced my house.  If they did it was during the day when I'm not home.  About...

    So basically the solar panel company becomes your electric bill?  Or do you also have an SCE bill?

    Mulberry at Cypress Village

    Hey thanks for taking action and doing something about it.  It's easy to complain but takes commitment to actually make a formal complaint/request to Irvine PD.

    Mulberry at Cypress Village

    Actually, my friend is a detective at Irvine PD.  Do you mind sending me the license plate?  Maybe he can accelerate the investigation.

    Mulberry at Cypress Village

    I have seen her too the first week I moved in.  Not only does she run the stop sign...  She also is going pretty fast.  If you have the license plate, call IPD and let them know.

    How much money would you spend on Design Center?

    What a coincidence....  I was just looking for ceiling fans right before I saw this post.  As for the upgrades, I just had to go through this as I closed in June.  I opted to go with a contractor for flooring.  In the end it, it saved me $3000 + 4 days to install ($15.5K vs $12.5K).

    Jasmine at Cypress Village

    I live in Marigold and I don't hear the freeway at all.  However, I do hear all the trucks/Fast & Furious wannabees/motorcycles on Trabuco (which is not even a major street).

    Mortgage rate lock

    I got pre-qualified with Wells Fargo and they gave me a crappy FNMA rate which had a max loan of $625,500 and was going to charge me 1% to lock for 6 months.  I ended up going with an independent mortgage broker that gave me the most competitive rate and no charge to lock the rate (at the time I...

    A good water softener company??

    I ended up paying a little less than $5000 for my system back in 2010 from a company called Puretech in Irvine.  I know EXPENSIVE!!!  I've been pretty happy with it though.  My system includes the filter tank, salt tank, and the reverse osmosis system under the kitchen sink.  They come out and...
