    Anyone live at the Santa Rosa IAC complex in Westpark or know anyone who lives there?

    I lived there for three years and really liked it, but you'd better like kids. Seriously, we moved across town to Woodbury Place and the number of kids I see around the neighborhood is astonishly small compared to Santa Rosa. There are tot lots throughout the development which was really nice...

    Plaza Vista School lockdown

    I received a call at about 3:55pm today from Plaza Vista CDC (daycare) to come get my son <a href="http://www.ocregister.com/articles/school-irvine-police-2441223-hanigan-down">due to the lockdown</a>. I said "what lockdown?" So much for expeditious dissemination of critical information about...

    How do you have kids here?

    Wow novas - and here I came back to this thread to delete...or significantly modify, my post because I am afraid it is WAY too much information about me, as well as being full of spiteful sentiment and self-pity. Specifically, I do not feel superior to your average religious person (aka...

    How do you have kids here?

    This thread is an illustration of one reason why I don't post on IHB much any more. I'm just very different from all of you in a fundamental way, and I don't feel part of the crowd like I used to, when we focused more on the housing bubble and less on life stuff. Not that I'm complaining or...

    Do you have a summer trip planned?

    Just got back. Did a little mild hiking. Did some serious spa time. And I touched him - twice!!!!!! <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KEoZuP_WXKY/RhFUblQ2EZI/AAAAAAAAACE/S5dXu15-OWc/s400/cliffsign.jpg" alt="" /> <img...

    Woodbury Town Center Store Closing

    I just started going to the nail salon in Woodbury. I highly recommend Sandra for mani/pedi. I have very high standards (I get frustrated easily when things are not just-so) and she is very good. For facials, though, stick to FaceLogic in the District.

    Whip out your PDA...

    iPhone...because my little boy likes to use the LightSaber app. (I have to admit, I've swung the thing around like a sword myself a few times just to hear that cool sound).

    What is your effective tax rate?

    I am a little skeptical about the $70 bottle of ophthalmic antibiotic. I have been in the pharma/biotech manufacturing industry for my entire career and spent part of that time working at one of the top three ophthalmic drug/device firms in the U.S. Could it be that your doctor had to order a...

    The world famous Jeffrey Open Space Hobo made the news

    This post has got me thinking. Yesterday morning on the way to driving my little guy to school across town (we live in Woodbury but he's finishing out the school year in Westpark), I stopped off at the Trabuco Grove Albertsons to return his Redbox Kirby movie I'd rented for him. He asked me if...

    Any preschool/family daycare has less than 6 months waitlist in Irvine or surrounding area?

    If you are interested in a world-class secular daycare and preschool program, call St. Andrews Children's Center on Barranca. (It's run by the church but takes state money so must remain entirely secular. Five years of attendance for my non-Christian son and not a single problem). My son was...

    I'm calling it for Extreme Pizza (Trabuco Grove)

    Okay, I'm officially on the record with my call that the store will be kaput within the month. I have purchased pizzas there the past two Tuesday nights (drop my son off at Math Monkey, walk over to order his pizza, come back with him an hour later to pick up his pizza...voila!! instant dinner...

    Math Monkey at Trabuco Plaza

    This is an interesting conversation! Here's more on my views...I don't consider myself anti-intellectual. Anything but, in fact. I have an MBA and I am fanatical about spelling and grammar - ask anyone who has ever worked with me or for me! By the elitism comment I was referring to the...

    Math Monkey at Trabuco Plaza

    It seems that these two business models target quite different populations. Kumon targets students who are either behind in skills, or whose parents want them to get ahead. On the other hand, Math Monkey suits my own requirements to a "T" - I really am not concerned about what particular...
