Anyone been here? I wanted to take kiddo on her birthday, but wasn't sure if it was really worth it. It's a $250 for a day, but includes $130 spending money which I assume can be used for dolls. http://www.americangirl.com/stores/location_la.php Please share your experiences.

(Excuse my lower case "c"s all over- It's a broken laptop with a "c" that I copy/paste) I was reading the other thread and McD suggested a switch to Biomedical Engg for Mrs. No Vas. Just out of curiosity, has any of you switched gears? If so, how easy/ difficult was the transition?

I wanted to make a post about my experiences a year ago, right when I bought. But that never happened partly because I kept thinking of writing a longish post and never found the time to do so. So here it is, before it gets too late. We bought a 3 bed/ 2.5 bath detached condo in Irvine...

Just checked out a few netbooks. I am in the market for a laptop, but totally fell in love with the little cuties since I don't run any software on my machine, and all I need is Word/ Excel and internet with google services. Does anyone own a netbook? Any idea why they are better/ worse than the...

So many couples I know are losing their jobs, or are on the verge of losing due to downsizing, companies shutting down. Everyone has their own ways of dealing with the crisis. Just curious how people are IHB are tackling/ planning to tackle such a situation in their lives. I chose Option B...

I am not a perfect parent. I admit:-) Here is a small embarrassing mommy moment.. R1 is 8.5 years old, and R2 is 2.5. ?Bonjour Stupid!? said R2. ?Mommy, she said Bonjour stupid! It?s just like in the Fudge series. You started calling her Fudge after she started doing the eat it or wear...

I had problems logging on to the site with my Mozilla browser for the past few days. I would try to log in, and get an error message that my password was incorrect. I almost gave up, but today tried switching to IE tab, and it's working. Did anyone have the same problem with Mozilla?

Which is a good urgent care center in Irvine for HMO plans? The little one is sick. She has calmed down now, but I might have to make an ER or Urgent care trip if something comes up. All help is appreciated.. Thanks.

Is the economics reporter for the times. But he is still selling his story as a book, and probably making a lot of money anyway.. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/17/magazine/17foreclosure-t.html">http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/17/magazine/17foreclosure-t.html</a>

I filed for unemployment. Life without having to go someplace every morning sucks. Life without somewhere to go back to after the time-off sucks. (Just had to get it out of my system) CZ

With the interest rates going down, I have a question for you guys. Had we bought at 6.5% interest rate for a 417k loan, the monthly payment would have been 2600. At 4.5% (wishful thinking rate for 30 yr fixed), the monthly would be 2100. If 30 yr is 4.5, 15 yr loan would be 4.1 (?)...

Hello IPO, I just saw that 62 Night Bloom has been sold for 510k. Can you confirm that this is the right price considering that it is too low for the surroundings? If it is, 16 Night Bloom will get my lovely low ball offer that does look justified after all :-) CZ

Did anyone get any appraisal done on any property they put a "low-ball" offer on? Turns out that one of my low offers is on the verge of approval, and I got an appraisal done- came out 35k more than the value of the house. I might take the plunge and catch that falling knife if this goes...

Just curious if anyone is putting any offers at all.. I am so ready to buy, but still not buying for the obvious reasons. But that hasn't stopped me from putting low ball offers on properties I like. So far only one place has gone for a price around the figure I had in my mind, but didn't act...

The ad for the book Richistan matches 90% with the cover art IR posted for his book. So, is the book Richistan written by IR, or the cover pages were created by the same person? Cubic

Hello everyone, I am just another homeless newbie on the forums. Planning to buy/ move to Irvine before the school starts and enjoy the so-called good life. Here is my dilemma- I saw two properties at 500k- 1500 sf, decent condos, low HOA, and low Mello-roos in West Irvine. If I...
