I wear earplugs too- to the point where I have become so dependent on them that if i were on an enclosed sound-proofed room, I still would need them.

USC- I am a portfolio manager- we focus only on International- and mostly local shares, but we do have an ADR strategy.

I actually had to buy a treadmill. I was running outside when it was around 5 am and was scared out of my mind. I know- it's Irvine running around the Yale Loop, but I have had 3 incidents (one involving a coyote and one where a guy came running out of Stone Creek Elementary school at that...

I go to bed at around 9:30 pm. If I run in the morning, I get up at 4:30 am to go running. If I don't run, I get up at 5:30-5:45 am.

I only use Indian Basmati Rice as well. I cook Middle Eastern food for the most part, and you have to use basmati rice- any other rice just would be gross. The Zafarani brand that they now sell at Costco is pretty good. I also go to Super Irvine and get the Deer or the Elephant brand as well...

what a strange set of pictures. you think the person taking the pictures could remove all the hair product bottles from the bathroom pics. they must really think their bathroom is something else with all those pics!

what a joke

The sight of that nasty tile makes me move on to the next property-even at $1.399Mil.

Very interesting IR2. I always thought it was so stupid (and wasteful advertising $$$ spent) when on the weekends, the OC Register Real Estate section has all the houses for sale and there are some ads with the broker agency house listings that don't even tell you what city it's in. I...

What's the story on 31 Bargemon? I saw it, and thought the house was very choppy on the inside (I didn't even bother going upstairs because the downstairs layout was so bad). They hold an open house practically every Sat and Sun. All of a sudden they finally dropped the price 2x within a week...

I can't believe someone paid $2.1 million for that back in 2006. Crazy! That kitchen is tiny!

We bought the book "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Baby", but like IPO, I ended up with using the gentler Ferber approach with my second child. I am a firm believer in schedules too. Honestly, I have more of a Dr. Sears philosophy, so we didn't let them cry it out. My first child was very...

Dual Income 2 kids. Roundcorners- my now 7 yr old took her until she was 2 to sleep through the night. My 5 year old son took about a year. I hope you are luckier than I was in the sleep department!

i've been to many open houses in CDM (Harbor View South) even nearer the water without A/C and it was as stuffy as could be in the summer. I see most newer homes in NB/NC have them- so for resale purposes, if 2 houses are the same, and one has has it and the other doesn't, then i'd take the...

i think for that price there should be A/C whether it's needed or not!

Wow- I've been seeing (not drinking) too much kool-aid. Somehow I can't see it going to $1 million. I used to live in the Chicago burbs and $1 million would be considered cheap there for this house in a similar type suburb without the proximity to the ocean and with crappy winters (but it was...

Give me your "what I believe it is worth when the dust settles"- and what you think a knife catcher will offer and the seller will accept today. Thanks!

usctrojanman- Thanks so much! I've been waiting for the Cassia house to finally show the selling price. My husband and I were thinking of putting an offer on it- but ultimately decided to pass. 700 Bison was a great house for the pool- but the layout was very outdated. There was also...

I like the Port Carlisle house myself. The home is very large at 4400 sq feet- perhaps a reason for the lower $/sq foot. But I agree, I hope prices continue going downward. Does anyone know the mortgage info on the Port Carlisle house? Redfin has it at a purchase price of just over $1...

Yes- sorry I was not clear- Stone Creek is my school. IPO- yes I heard the Creekers Club is very hard to get into. I already called about 2 months ago. Since I work stock market hours- I REALLY need before school care. I don't need after-school care. I called and they told me that...
