Something in the description talks about being designed so that people living there would have "long lives"..... perhaps the "tot lot" look is really to keep the very old from falling and breaking a hip!

Thread Bump.....HGTV has a new show "Real Estate Intervention." The premise is to have a "real estate professional" tell the homeowner why their property is not selling. Last night, the homeowner insisted on relisting his house $20,000 higher than advised. (Albeit $10,000 lower than it's first...

I actually like the stainless steel stair railing..... but not with all the rest of the stainless, and then the remainder of "traditional" doors and stuff.

I like that there's more photos of the tear down place than there are for other listings pushing a million dollars. Perhaps the agent is trying to limit his liability by doing "full disclosure" up front.

No_Vas, I have a grape question... or really a wine question, I suppose. Paso and north, all the way up to Castroville/Prunedale, there are miles and miles and miles of vineyards. Now, I figure some of those grapes are not wine grapes, but are used for juice and raisins and whatever. But...

I never even liked tomatoes until I grew some for my partner.... and figured out fresh tomatoes taste nothing like the ones in the grocery store. I'm not an expert and I don't go to any particular effort to find unique tomatoes, I just buy healthy looking plants that say they are full sized...

"No Known Predators" - the UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs

Serious Weapon, I have 2 Earth boxes for my tomatoes, as the sunniest part of my lot is the back patio, and so far they are really good. They are a little pricey, and a friend found a similar product for about half the price by googling "self watering garden containers." The Earth Boxes are...

That's a really cute house, and seems like a good location. I assume it's still overpriced, or isn't the Long Beach market as strong as the Irvine market?

Actually, Rancho Cucamonga is in San Bernardino County, but the point is still valid.

I see tomatoes, Stepping_up

Arrgh.... I kept trying Pirates of the Caribbean, but obviously wasn't spelling it correctly. Although I'm not sure why the pirate has a suitcase. I should have looked more closely at the plane. I was stuck on "Airplane" and should have zoomed in. And I didn't know there were movies titled...

31 on our own, with help 41.... so far, you guys have missed The Lord of the Rings. But, what's with the crow and iris in the top right corner??? And the group of 2 guys with strollers and little people? I've tried "Honey, I shrunk the Kids" and "Little Women", and "Family Guy" (ok, I know...

It's probably no help... but one of the cutest/funniest things I've seen at a wedding was a little flower girl... about 4, I'd guess.... whose job it was to strew (is that a word???) flower petals along the white carpet down the center aisle of the church, as the first person in the bridal...

Yep, that's clearly a difference between men, children, and women. (Although perhaps it's "moms" more than women in general....) Kids and men can step over the pile of towels in the bathroom a kazillion times, and when you ask one of them to put the towels in the washing machine, the response is...

Well, I'd buy the "no manipulation" aspect if So Cal suggested that rather than nagging her husband, she just fixed it herself. But to wait and "try" to fix it in front of him, "making a poor attempt" and then asking him if she was doing it right... all sounds way too much like manipulation to...

But So Cal..... he's an adult man, not a child, and not an employee you "manage." It makes me really uncomfortable to think that women feel they need to manipulate their husbands into doing something that the family or household needs done. It's one thing if you want to make him a nice dinner...

Wow, Mariners sounds like a good place. I checked out the website and was impressed with the number of ministries, and the willingness to admit church people have the same sorts of problems as the rest of the world. Perhaps "evangelical" churches have started to move in a better direction. (I'm...

"This home sits at the end of the street and has an oversized yard with only one neighbor next door." Well, yes, that is technically true, because the neighbors on the other side are rather transient, except for 6 - 9am and 3 - 6 pm, when they stay long enough for introductions.

And on a secular but not spiritual note.... I find your poll categories interesting. What's more upsetting ...that non-married people might be sexually intimate, or that they might co-mingle their assets? Would it be ok to buy a house jointly with a platonic friend? I don't understand how the...
