    I owe the IHB an apology, and accurate current milk pricing - IMPORTANT

    Almond champagne mimosa does not sound good... regular champagne or cava or prosecco for that. I would guess skek likes big reds.

    What can be deducted from a renter's deposit?

    I have read the 5 year carpet thing before on IHB I think. So I wonder about the scenario I'm in now. I'm renting from a private owner on a work assignment in another state. Said owner's intent is to return to CA at some point and re-occupy the place we are renting. If we've lived here a few...

    Adventures in Gear Oil, or why my wife is a Saint (abiet an angry one)

    Hilarious. I feel for your wife. This could totally be a Mr NewToOC and me story. I sent the hubby a link to this. Also good choice on the tulips. Roses are a bit overdone.

    Ah ok. Because an iron would have to get pretty hot to actually work. I don't think a 15 watt lightbulb like the betty crocker oven would do the trick for ironing clothes! :) Thats cool you got your son a kitchen. A man of any age who can cook rocks!

    No_vas that's awesome. I eat raw almonds just about every day. So yummy. And although bubbly purists will be mortified I think almond champagne is awesome.

    Thanks SoCal. I don't know why I have never seen one. Besides looking "heavy" I don't dislike it - it's quirky and very inspector gadget looking. Perhaps you can explain this: <img src="http://media.cdn-redfin.com/photo/46/bigphoto/124/R902124_10_0.jpg" alt="" /> <a...

    Ok, since renting for the past 2 yrs I admittedly haven't been keeping up with lighting/fixture fashions but wtf is up with this ceiling fan? <img src="http://media.cdn-redfin.com/photo/46/bigphoto/962/S568962_5_0.jpg" alt="" /> located at <a...

    Ok, since no_vas has blessed us going off-topic here... has anyone seen any place that sells Silk Chai flavored milk? I know that its full of sugar and more of a dessert but it sounds really good and I want to try it anyway. I haven't seen it anywhere. I've been meaning to try almond milk...

    Upcoming Dinner A'Fare Trip

    Ummmm, it really isn't that much like Iron Chef. You do get to wear aprons and hats if you like though gentlemen. And If we get enough people we can serve wine right SoCal? Woo hoo! I live close enough to stumble home... oh, except I'll have 20 lbs of food to carry back with me. Dammit!

    Sorry to derail your milk thread NoVas. I really did enjoy my milk growing up!

    Funny you should say that SoCal. I have lupus (mild symptoms no organ involvement) but I've never talked to my rheumatologist about my switch to soy. I'll bring it up next time. I don't drink more than 8 oz a day and have tofu maybe twice a week. I only made the milk switch because it...

    I owe the IHB an apology, and accurate current milk pricing - IMPORTANT

    True as a down side soy milk is more expensive. I don't do Costco but I usually pay $2.50-$3 a carton for soy milk (target, walgreens, trader joes all are cheaper than Ralphs or Albertsons usually) which lasts about a week so I don't shop around beyond that. After not drinking milk for so long...

    Would this be allowed (short selling)

    Yes, if he/she (I can't remember the specifics) has the income to afford to carry both loans comfortably they'd be able to get the second loan. I don't know much about single family housing underwriting but you wouldn't be able to bank on 100% of your theoretical rental income on the first...
