I hate to post anything so early on but some people here might be in that area or have family in that area. <a href="http://www.ocregister.com/articles/possible-campus-irvine-2421637-message-gunman">Possible Gunman on UCI Campus</a>

I know they aren't called swine flu masks... :) Just curious... and I want to do my first poll. When saw several people wearing flu masks at the airport on our way to Hawaii in April but much fewer on our flight back and this weekend at LAX. Is anyone here wearing them?

So we were on a little stroll through California Citrus State Park in Riverside this weekend. We aren't from arount these parts and are easily amused I guess... Anyway, we start to see a row of wet fresh tracks like this one: <img...

So the hubby and I are considering leaving the new but poorly laid out townhouse/condo in Woodbury we have rented for the last couple years for a single family walled house near the mission in San Juan Capistrano. The house is a hacienda style charmer with water features, more room, and a pool...

I felt left out of the other thread. Ok, ME FIRST! Uh, I don't usually wear a watch but I have a metal seiko, a fun green leather band fossil, and scary rhinestoney one that was a gift. I'm willing to bet most if not all need new batteries. They sit lonely in the jewelry box.

Has anyone tried Make it Fit Inc tailor in Tustin? If so, are they any good?

This story just about made my day. With all the terrible news we are being bombarded with lately on the economy, world conflicts, etc it was so thrilling to read about this incredible pilot and crew and the Coast guard rescuers yesterday. This type of heroism and competence is exactly what makes...

In the Woodbury Town Center they opened a store called Dinner Affaire where you can prepare premium meals in bulk for a set fee depending on number of meals and servings of each. Supposedly the cost of preparing the meals there is cheaper than if you had to buy the ingredients yourself because...

I know there was a thread about the traffic being slow at the Ralph's at the Woodbury Town Center but I don't think we have a thread on this. Tresor - a woman's clothing & accessory boutique near the Game Stop & bike shop closed just after the holidays apparently. I think the Thai Spice...

Check out the following poll and results from another OC: <a href="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/orl-poll-holidays-121208,0,130991,post.poll">Orlando_Sentinel_poll</a> Over half of the respondents were "offended" because someone who might not know their religious specifics wishes them a...

I heart this house. I even like the yellow paint. Seems like you could actually make some money as a B&B too. [NewToOC starts to google Plainfield City NJ]. <a...

I read this today in the WashPost. I used to work right near there before I moved out to CA. I think bk has previously compared Reston Va to Irvine CA. They are both relatively nice family friendly places to live and very much planned communities. I know there are a lot of engineers on this...

Is anyone else getting these? It doesn't seem like that many people are logged on right now but I keep getting weird errors today on the Forums.

OC Register hasn't listed an article yet. Is there a good local site locals use for this kind of thing? That was my first earth quake.

This thread is inspired by Roo's mysterious avatar.... wtf is that roo? :) Mine is obviously the question of many an IHB newbie - should I part with my hard-earned cash to buy now in Irvine/OC? I no longer struggle with this decision.

For at least the past two days I've seen a gentleman sitting in a chair right next to the Toll Road entrance right before the Great Park and right after the intersection with Sand Canyon. This is at 7:45am or so. He parks his car a little further down Irvine Blvd off on the shoulder. Any...

I looked for a thread on this and can't find anything. Is there a generally accepted rule of thumb on what carrying costs are for a home? An article in today's Washington Post said it can be as high as 1 - 1.5% of the homes value a month. That sounded high but then I did the math on the...
