    Things you wish you could tell people.

    I can't stop. To people in general: The word "Jew" should not be an insult. Calling someone "Christian" is a compliment in some circles, but "Jew" has a negative connotation. This is so wrong. To Jessica Simpson: You're not a "mom" because you have a dog. I'm sorry your maltipoo was...

    Things you wish you could tell people.

    I have another one. Dear annoying Facebook friend: Please stop writing daily status messages about how you are enjoying your life in "beautiful wine country Temecula California." Which is literally how you write it, with no punctuation. Example: "A is enjoying the 90 degree weather in...

    Things you wish you could tell people.

    Sometimes I have things I want to get off my chest, but I can't because it is socially unacceptable or none of my business. So how about doing it here? Dear B: It is tacky to put "gift cards welcome, thanks!" on that little note on your Babies R Us baby registry. This is tacky because...

    WOW! USC has made a huge comeback in college rankings, beating University of Michigan, Could UCLA be next?

    I agree. I always thought USC was a decent school, but not that hard to get into. Trojan, I totally agree with you about the alumni network...USC is awesome for that. I didn't realize when I was applying to colleges how important that was. Not that I would have applied to USC anyway...too $$$...

    Who remembers Farrells Ice Cream Parlour?

    I remember Farrell's. I think there was one in Huntington Beach. Lots of birthday parties there. I remember each kid got to pick either a hot dog or grilled cheese for lunch, and after the main course there would be gobs of ice cream to eat. Good times. I'll definitely be going when it opens again.

    "4 weeks and then all hell breaks loose"

    I don't have much to add to this thread, but I've been watching it with interest. I'm no real estate expert, so the arguments back and forth--the my facts vs. your facts--in this thread are kind of lost on me. That said, I respect the longtime members for their knowledge of real estate...

    Freezer totally defrosted in several hours.

    How do you like that style of fridge? We are getting a new one soon and I'm considering getting one like that. Also, is that your kitchen, BK? It's beautiful.

    Stupid Realtor listing description of the week goes to....

    I remember seeing a Mike Dunn listing in which he said something like, this is *the* most desirable property in all of Irvine. I thought it was a little over the top, considering the house backed up to a biggish street like Bryan or Irvine Blvd.

    Best sites to find closed sales?

    I'm looking for an MLS listing for a house that closed in August. I know it's in San Clemente, but I don't have the address. I do have some pictures so I'm going to try to narrow it down that way. Any ideas for sites where I can look?

    Dinner A'Fare in September

    I went to Dream Dinners (the one in Irvine, off Jamboree) a couple of years ago and it was ok. I think the food probably would have ended up being delicious for someone who's not a hopeless cook like me. I think I messed up the ingredient measuring on some of the dishes. Come to think of...

    Diet Coke

    I am all about Diet Coke. Well, any diet cola is fine, it doesn't have to be Coke. It can even be caffeine-free, I don't care. I just love the flavor and the tingly feeling.

    RHOC Tamara Barney's house now listed as short sale

    Nice picture. What a classy lady! I actually saw Gretchen and Slade stopped at the light at Jeffrey/Alton, in a black Range Rover. This was a couple of months ago. It was a pretty exciting celebrity sighting, for Irvine anyway. And my sister saw Tamra's husband Simon at the Starbucks in...
