<p>"Well the good news is if your luxury home is priced to sell (or atleast entertain offers) it should sell"</p> <p>I don't think 2bd/2ba, 1200sf townhomes qualify as "luxury" homes in any community. That's like saying those Infiniti G20s or the Porsche 914s were "luxury" cars. Just because...

<p>"Not sure if I could buy a jag any more. After all, it is just a ford (though it might have just been sold to an Indian company)"</p> <p>Can't say I have confidence in Tata myself, but let's just hope they continue to correct the ship in the right direction.</p> <p>As for BMWs, what is...

<p>"clothes smell fresh as opposed to clothes right from the dryer, which always smell to me like something burned in there"</p> <p>I notice that is the difference between an expensive dryer vs. less expensive. I know exactly the smell you are talking about and the LG does not give off those...

<p>That F-Type was what I wanted to buy at the time, but timing didn't work out. I needed to buy by end of 2000. Then it never got produced. What a shame, that is a beautiful design. I'm targeting the XF... hopefully this gets them back on track as the maker of the best looking cars in the...

We just bought the LG Tromm with steam clean (the red one) that my wife insisted on getting. We had an older LG prior to that, and it was excellent. I never realized W/D's made that much of a difference, but it does and the different cycles (I don't know about 18 of them) do matter for the...

<p>The problem at the present is that the consumer demand is still there for light crudes, so the oil companies have no incentive to look for an alternative. Currently, they have no conflict between maximizing revenue and keeping prices low because the demand for gasoline is not wavering. I...

<p>Well, maybe one option is to drive a car that does not require premium gas? I drive a premium-only car, but I figure I can't complain (except to myself) since I asked for it by buying such a car. I actually am encouraged because maybe consumers in the U.S. will finally demand alternative...

You've been out of school for 2 1/2 years, so you're 25ish? I would stay home for another year or two and save more money. If you get along with your parents and are disciplined enough to move out when it is time, why spend money on rent? My guess is that since you were disciplined enough to...

My guess is that the patrol guard has something on the side with the towing company that motivates him to call it in. Actually, this is probably not a call in. Chances are that the tow truck is parked somewhere within the community, and runs over in matter of seconds when the guard calls them...

<p>How did I never see this thread before? From a foodaholic, here it goes:</p> <p>Best (reasonable) sushi: Miyako's in San Clemente isn't terribly creative but has the freshest sushi for the money. It's a local fave so be prepared to wait for dinner. Their Jay-lapeno is awesome, as well...

Soco Walk is in a decent area, and I thought it was okay. It is small though, and wasn't worth the price. That was a year ago though, so maybe it's come down? The train can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your needs. But it is loud, so if you can't handle that then I would not...

<p>My personal opinion is that it is not a good time at the moment to go into the wireless phone stocks at the moment. The industry is in an evolutionary phase, as evidenced by the new networks, consolidation, and some realigning/restructuring that still needs to occur. And this in the midst...

<p>Are you going just for the weekend? If that's the case, I would suggest Big Bear. The mountain is relatively easy, not too big, and you can drive there. One lift ticket is also good for two mountains, Snow Summit and Bear Mountain, so if you go for 2 days you can do one each. My...

Playing league sports (volleyball, basketball, football) used to be my hobby, but marriage pretty much wiped that out. At the moment I've put my to-be hobbies on the shelf for grad school, but in June I will (hopefully) pick back up golf. And plan to start back on my old hobby, astronomy, with...

<p>The ARM strategy probably does not work for most people because they do not have enough financial discipline to follow the strict plan. Even conceptually, I think the Monte Carlo simulation only works out if there is enough spread between the FRM & ARM. Moreover, the time horizon is very...

It's in middle of nowhere, and you're looking at a similar demographics as Escondido, Temecula, etc. The reason it is much less expensive is because it is about 45 miles from San Diego, and about 30 miles to S. OC. So it takes you forever to go anywhere.

<p>Here are the ones I always make but never achieve:</p> <p>- Keep my weight the same but lose 2 inches off my waist</p> <p>- Keep to the budget</p> <p>- Eat out less</p> <p>- Win the lottery</p>

<p>My predictions:</p> <p>- Jobless rate will increase through the first half of the year, bringing along the recession through the 3rd quarter. Economy will begin to pick back up in 4th quarter, but it will be substantial news because we will buck the trend of decreasing time span for...

I think what flmgrip is saying is that just as you would not NOT have kids because they cost money, housing would have to be a similar type of an emotional decision. It's an extreme comparison to be sure, but I think it has some merit in that there are emotional factors that you must take into...

<p>For Foreigners it can very well be a hedge bet. To wit, let's suppose a Canadien is thinking the dollar will gain in the near future. If they buy today at $500K, or C$550K (suppose a C$1.10 fx rate), and the house falls to $400K in 1 year. In that same span, the $ goes to C$1.35. That...
