    Home security system company recommendations?

    Try Bay Alarm....one time my wife triggered the alarm when I was out of town. She disabled it then went to shower - she forgot she needs to standby the phone for their call back to confirm passwords. Two Irvine police cars showed up within mins....

    Selling a car

    I sold cars ( the last one was Dec '08 for our three year old Honda minivan) several times, and transferred lease several times. I think you need to be very careful in screening buyers. When I post my ads, I actually states that I will only do the deals at the bank of my choice in the area. I...

    Got laid off....

    Sorry to hear that. Depending on the age, directional changes should be seriously considered. The major civil engineering firms all had major layoffs. AE firms actually have been very slow outsourcing work overseas in the past many years, and many are seriously starting now. With work...

    Junior First LEGO League

    New_to_Irvine, Thanks a lot for posting this information. My 5.5 year old boy is crazy about Legos. He can do 1000 piece legos by himself with very little help from me. I just called that school, they seems to have quite bit of openings. I was told they have 20 plus kids in the Lego...

    The Rep from South Carolina yelling "You lie!"

    Frankly, i don't care how it is done, but it worked in terms of raising the issue. It is not illegal, and no one really got hurt. Ya, it probably IS out of line, but i guess this is one of those cases that ends justifies the means. Don't see much downside, and only upside (regardless...

    The Rep from South Carolina yelling "You lie!"

    it is not the right way to do it under most situations, IMO. However, it worked. This issue is ALL over the news, and frankly BO has no choice but to make sure he doesn't actually lie as a result of the final bill.

    IrvineRealtor?s Proposal:

    Flat rate svs with predetermined scope of services provided could be part of the a la cart. Only having the a flat rate svs. to replace the current % is an improvement towards the current system, but still doesn't tailor towards individual needs, espeically on buying side. I think buyer agent...

    IrvineRealtor?s Proposal:

    Greats points made by awgee. I actually found buyer agent adds very min. value when they take me to see a house. (sames goes car salesmen take me out for a test drive, and add always useless comments, and 110% of the time I know more about the car then the damn sales guy). I actually...

    IrvineRealtor?s Proposal:

    As a sophisticate home buyer, I would like to see is a la cart service menu. I won't be the first one or the last one to say that the commission vs. service provided is completely off generally speaking. I think any agent should recover their normal business expenses based on a sustainable...

    Chocolate!

    For business clients, I give Godiva mixed or dark to any foreign clients! If they are European, they have plenty of chocolate from their own continent, I will not go for any euro ones. For ME and Asians clients, Godiva is hard to find there, espeically the dark ones. If they know...
