    First Day of School Tips

    I was living in Irvine 12 years ago but in WB.  I was considered a newbie next to all the old-timers in the community. It was a slow laid back community but even 12 years ago, the residents there didn't really like the change that was happening.  The majority of the residents in my area moved...

    Recommendations for landscaping companies

    Those are Madagascar Jasmine.  Very beautiful vines.  I saw them in a model home in CV and wanted it for my own yard. Yes there is.  There is a wood divider.  There is also nails to keep the grass down, amongst other stuff they put in the artificial turf to keep it in good condition.

    First Day of School Tips

    I ended up talking to the principal because the paper cut was just one of 3 main concerns I had.  So far all is well now.  Guess Irvine teachers require royal treatment and pampering.  Something I'm not accustomed to. They should do a teacher swap as a reality TV show and swap out Irvine...

    Marigold at Cypress Village

    I don't think I have any privets in my yard.  But I do have a potato vine that attracts the potato/tomato caterpillars... They call them hornworms.  The gross green kind that has a spike on the tail.  They grow into hawk moths. But I know hawk moths aren't the only moths in my yard.  I'm gonna...

    Party supply rentals + helium tank

    Of course.  Just look for the motor court with the banner, balloons, canopy, food, and drinks.  Got lots of drinks from Costco ready to go.  Thank goodness I have 3 trash bins from WM.

    Mulberry at Cypress Village

    I had a great experience at the event as well.  Food is pretty good too.  I ended up sitting at Chairman's table.  Pretty cool table ... Our table chatted up so long we were the last to leave. So if you can attend ... Definitely go and kids are welcome too.

    Marigold at Cypress Village

    The insects are loving this weather. I had to call my pest control guy out for an extra spray today. I have black aphids, lotsa spiders, tons of moth, flies .. Big and small ... And even a few giant Mosquitos outside and inside.  The hummingbirds I'm feeding isn't doing much eating these bugs...

    Wow!  I have to say that this is art ... not graffiti.  Although I know many Irvinites will disagree with me.

    That is so old school.  This is the new gen way. It's cheaper because the USPS provides all the supplies.

    Perhaps it's a public college?  Private might pay more? I know a few college professors want to teach public schools ... That's where the money is.  But most can't handle/stand the behavior issues. Teaching college kids vs ones going through puberty are night and day.

    Routers

    Lol ... I feel like I won the lottery after fixing my energy crises.  My bill in August (with tons of AC use) was lower than my first electric bill ... And our first electric bill was of an empty house and no appliances. *typing this with the AC running for the WHOLE night* So my nighthawk can...
