What are your thoughts on this no homework policy?  Think this can't happen in IUSD?  Think again.  I am on the side that you definitely need homework.  Especially for math.  I know I would have done poorly on exams if my teachers decided on a no homework policy. ...

Anybody interested in the Olympics?  Who are you cheering for? Since I casually swim now, I'm looking forward to the swimming, although other than Katie Ledecky, there's no sure wins.  And as always the shorter distance sprints in track.  Is Bolt going to show up and if he does, will he be...

Ah, good ol' dodgeball in middle school.  You never wanted to be one of the last ones standing since that assured you of going up against the super athlete upperclassman, Buff, with his 70 mph fastball and you knew you were going to be humiliated in front of everyone else now watching, not to...

I guess this is why my unlimited plan is often so slow?  Any shady lawyers on this forum?  :P  Sue, sue, sue. AT&T, if you're monitoring this board, I'll settle for a house in OH (has to be larger SFH) or HC.  :P...

No, no, I'm talking about Free Agents.  :P Maybe I haven't been paying attention the other years but is this year's football Free Agent moves somewhat abnormal?  It seems so may big names moving and anyone that's getting older or not living up to his bloated paycheck is being cut. Don't you...

Should my kids major in engineering or...engineering?  :P http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/careersandeducation/15-college-majors-with-the-highest-starting-salaries/ss-AA9jCGZ#image=2

Sorry if there's been other threads like this but I don't read this section much since we don't go out that often. But can anyone recommend a casual dining place where it is kid friendly?  Where the adults can talk and the kids can have fun (Not necessarily Chuckie Cheese kind of fun) without a...

Earlier, when she rejected the check, I thought she was thinking "I can't live on no stinkin' billion dollars" but I guess she changed her mind?  Should she have gone for more?  Or will she anyway?  I think with oil dropping like flies, maybe she thought her ex-spouse's company might be in...

Do you think he did it? Or just a bunch of women that want to cash in?  I think where there's smoke...well, you know....especially if there's a lot of smoke...

Richest quarterbacks list.  I realize the old timers didn't get paid the obscene money that the superstars make now so that the list is skewed towards the newer guys. http://worthly.com/richest/football-players/20-richest-nfl-quarterbacks-time/ Terry Bradshaw, only $10mil?  I'm sure some...

What do you think about the nurse that came back from West Africa that was being monitored for Ebola and ordered to stay in her house disobeying the order and going out?  Good for her, she's the one that's making sense?  Or, selfish person only caring about herself...

OC Housing News (I hope it's not taboo to mention them here; if so I apologize) has an article about debt collectors going after mortgage borrowers after their finances improved from the defaulting homeowners. I may be mixed on this one but I don't want the previous lesson to be that you can...

...an annoying neighbor?  I'm sure we can add our Irvine specific annoyances.  :P http://www.trulia.com/tips/2014/10/annoying-neighbor-11-ways-tell/?ecampaign=cnews&eurl=www.trulia.com%2Ftips%2F2014%2F10%2Fannoying-neighbor-11-ways-tell%2F

I remember seeing a discussion about birthday cakes not so long ago.  Sorry, I tried but my bad search skills didn't bring it up.  :P Where can I get a birthday cake that doesn't have icing that's just too sweet like the ones at Costco?  When I was living up in WA state, I think Fred Meyers...

Have any of you gotten solicited by high school age looking kids that try to sell something to fund their school trip to Europe or things like that?  They're always so slick you know they're not doing this part time.  They have a comeback for anything you say.  Well coached. I had one the other...
