    Discipline

    Where did this fall in your discipline toolkit?  Was there a timeout, grounding, or other things before this came? Right now our goto is a timeout in the laundry room and how terrible the behavior adjusts the amount of the timeout.

    Which would you choose?

    Agree with IHO.  Depending on the age of children and what you are looking to do, flat might be better.  Our kids are very young and we really enjoy being able to walk throughout Woodbury.  In OH, I doubt we would walk to the shopping center as much as we do in WB. Regarding Stonegate being...

    No HOA No Mello Roos

    In Woodbury, the SFRs seem to enjoy it both ways.  We benefit from the community aspects of an HOA without having a very strict HOA where we have to beg for permission.  When we wanted to paint our house, the HOA said they dont even know the original colors of the SFRs and as long as we are...

    What is being built on the corner of Trabuco and Jeffrey?

    IHO what does FCB and montessori have to do with each other?  There has been a huge child care shortage in Irvine and everything has a long wait list.  Regardless of teaching style, more child care centers is needed.

    Chinese restaurants serving dog meat

    From a vegetarian's POV, I don't really understand how you decide which animal is ok to eat and which isn't.  I get dogs are pets but so are fish and rabbits.  What horrifies people about eating dog?

    Rent or Sell?

    umbrella is 1 policy and not per rental.  it covers everything you own.  if you only have 1 rental property and already doing umbrella, i personally think LLC is a bit much.  however if you plan on having many rental properties, it might not be a bad idea.  some of my friends have it setup...

    Rent or Sell?

    +1 for umbrella insurance.  some of my friends even put the rental in the LLC so that personal assets can't be touched.  that seems a bit much considering its $800 a year in fees plus additional costs during tax time.  umbrella policies usually give a discount on car so total out of pocket...

    Architect referral - Room addition & Layout

    IHS's firm seems on the higher end of things with projects like shady canyon houses.  We got quotes on adding the room and updating the house and the whole thing is about $50-75K depending on options.  If an architect costs $1000-$3000, it would make sense but if they are in the 5 digits, it...
