I was thinking of planning a small day out with the kids on Veteran's day but didn't want to go to the usual places. Let me give this a try. Is there any thread where you guys discussed fun places in orange county that are not zoo or amusement parks? If yes, please direct me to that. If not...

So another laptop it is after reading everyone's replies and careful consideration of all the factors. Went to Best buy and looked at a few. I think buying a laptop will be a better solution.. But yeah, would be nice to have a netbook also:-) Thanks everyone.

Had a flight to hell last year when we got stranded in Guangzhou last year for eleven hours when our plane couldn't land in Hong Kong due to weather related issues. There was no food on the plane, almost running low on water, and the Govt of china didn't let anyone get out of the plane. Some...

I have a fully functional work computer, and another laptop that I use for most of the technical stuff. But the laptop that I use for trading broke two days ago. (broke as in literally broke- it fell down and has cracked all over, a few keys fell off, but surprisingly nothing happened to the...

Just checked out a few netbooks. I am in the market for a laptop, but totally fell in love with the little cuties since I don't run any software on my machine, and all I need is Word/ Excel and internet with google services. Does anyone own a netbook? Any idea why they are better/ worse than the...

Kids in Irvine were pretty active too. My younger one refused to wear her costume and stayed home, forcing older one to stay also. But they had fun distributing the candies. Only once we had a glitch when the younger one wanted to trade the Hershey she had with the Twix in a boy's basket...

Got H1N1 mist/spray for the kids at Irvine Valley college today. Both were in the age group that it was offered to. We went around 11.30 am, and there were around 20 people. Almost no wait at all except for the two minute disclaimer speech that we had to stand and listen to before getting the...

Looks like very dollar matters in this multi-million dollar deal...I couldn't decide what was the worst: the pictures, the house itself or the list of price reduction.

The White Tiger by Arvind Adiga. (Fiction) Starts in rural India, weaves the atrocities farmers and the people of low caste face in a story that ends in Banglore. Enough: Why the world's poorest starve in the age of plenty. (Non-fiction) A very informative book about poverty in Africa...

You know, we were talking about you just last night, and here you are! Good to see you back:-)

So I am a horrible mother! My older one knows that there is white bread- younger one hasn't even seen anything close:-) Food is always very lightly salted, and oh no! even in their lunch boxes they take soy milk instead of juice. But the silver lining for them is, I do let them have a sugary...

While I am not really into used furniture, clothes or toys, I love great deals on books. My kids buy $1 books at the Heritage Park library store almost every week. We collected the first five of our Harry Potter series, waiting to find Deathly Hallows. I bought "The White Tiger" by Arvind...

congratulations Grace!

Eva, please shoot me a PM as well.. I need to get the garage and entry door painted.

Traceimage, I think you have more of a remodeling remorse than a buyer's remorse. From what I have heard from several homeowners/ contractors, it's very common to feel down and out when you put so much money into a project and all you see are gutted walls and pulled out carpets. Wait for the...

Somewhere between depression and hope.
