    Minivan Thread

    True story - my dual income no kids household has a toyota sienna.  It is, in fact, the exact same sienna my mom drives in a different color and with slightly upgraded features.  My boyfriend was EXCITED to get a minivan, we both grew up with one so we know how sweet they are for practical...

    Why can't PCs learn from Apple?

    I don't know what exactly you are looking for in terms of 'packaging' on an iphone vs an andriod phone, but we have an andriod phone (its the incredible but the evo is the same thing with a larger screen) and its pretty sweet.  I like it a lot, the configurability, the interface to your google...

    arrrgh my credit score

    speaking of 'types of accounts' - obviously its easy to get a credit card (one type) and a car loan (two types) and then a mortgage is type three -- what are the other types of loans?

    arrrgh my credit score

    Hit some kind of weird wall with my credit score (well, my credit karma score anyway) where there is literally nothing I can do to make my credit go up.  They have this little tool that shows you how you can impact your score by taking various actions and NOTHING improves it.  Everything makes...

    Need shop to fix wallet imprints on jeans

    that would be dangerous because the new iphones would come out, and the shape would change again and then you'd be like "ohhh I have to get this repaired so I can re-imprint the NEW shape on it"  the slim leather bifold or trifold is forever.  I wonder if you have to use a wallet that matches...

    Elections

    iac i hope you saved the fliers from her.  You should report her, it is totally not ok to prevent someone from going about their day - standing behind your car would be like grabbing your arm as you try to leave the store and forcing you to listen to their entire spiel.  Uncool. My bf got a...

    Why can't PCs learn from Apple?

    I saw a picture of the new air yesterday at the mall and I started laughing -- whyyyy you ask? it was a picture showing the side of it, and its shaped like a wedge.  This is HILARIOUS because when the kindle first came out (the original kindle) it was ALSO shaped like a wedge and peopel threw a...

    The Kitchen Island

    it would kind of depend on the kitchen for me..size and layout and stuff.    I know you probably put a little picture up iho but I can't see pictures for some reason ...usually....althoguh I can see the pearls comic.  I'm pretty sure its a setting on my network at work.

    LA Times: Millions of homeowners keep paying on underwater mortgages

    never ceases to amaze me how bad people are with money.  that guy at the end of the story was on a fixed pension, and yet still borrowed more than he could afford. I question how much of an affect these people really have on the overall economy though (people who are overpaying I mean) because...

    IHB: Home Price Drop Sudden and Dramatic

    That wouldnt' solve the problem long term sonoma, it would be a one time infusion versus long term smaller infusions year over year.  I woudl think that rather than phasing out the deduction for people who make over a certain amount, phasing it out for people who buy homes over a certain...

    IAC Lease Negotiation

    100 more per month is cheaper than a breaklease fee of 3000. 800 dollars more vs 3000.  So you could resign for 8-9 months (to end in Juneish) and then see where you are with the home buying - if you're really close or just waiting on paperwork you can pay for one more month at the...

    Irvine private rental market?

    Aparments are also less likely to have washer driers in the units - usually they are laundry rooms or they send the rent SKY high, especially in IAC.  We looked around there and found that they wanted 1500 for a 1br with a washer/dryer and many apartment properties make you rent or buy your own...

    Need shop to fix wallet imprints on jeans

    bahahaha I was watching a show the other day where they showed you how to make a pair of regular jeans look like DESIGNER jeans by scuffing them up - one of the things you were supposed to do was put an old wallet in the pocket and like, rub some find sand paperaround the edge of it to give it a...

    IHB: Home Price Drop Sudden and Dramatic

    Will prices in Irvine continue to drop? Maybe! And how much? SOME! (possibly) Will we eventually see those huge drops? yes and no - some segments of the market (attached products) did see those drops, mostly the stuff that was so crazy out of control beyond affordability for the type of people...

    Bank of America to resume some foreclosures

    Which part of Irvine and which part of HB?  Those are both VERY big cities - my mom's rule of thumb tends to be that north of Adams is about 5 degrees hotter but I think its more like Garfield.  And the parts of Irvine south of hte 405 are not nearly as hot as the parts norht of the 405.   ...

    Irvine private rental market?

    How much does an apartment complex affect private rentals?  Because even living in a condo that is the same dimensions as an apartment is theoretically better than living in an apartment in some ways - unless its a condo community  thats mostly rented out.  Neighbors tend to be longer term...

    IBC (Irvine Business Complex) - fossils

    That kinda creeps me out. I mean I realize that anywhere you live/shop/work whatever probably had SOMETHING buried under it at some point, but its not like, huge piles of human bones.  Ugh.
