The Upside-Down family: a scenario

[temeculaguy]

Irvive and Alan, I was being facetious in my posts, this thread wandered away and I was just playing it for kicks and the newfound fans/stalkers. No advice needed Alan but it is appreciated, I’ve already delved into my own distorted version of habitat for humanity and have no intention of repeating the experience. Irvine, if you weren’t on the other side of the dreaded 91 and I wasn’t already dating someone I’d offer to buy you a drink because the cold reality is that many of the braniacs on this site (I’ll take a leap of faith and include myself in order to make my point) really only shine in the presence of intelligent and real women who appreciate mental stimulation and can provide it in return. Women who have flaws, insecurities, busy lives and brains, just like us and just like you, so please don’t lose faith in us a species or lump us into one category and I won’t assume you are a lesbian, not that there’s anything wrong with that (Seinfeld joke inserted specifically for SD Realtor).

OK, this thread has wandered since I started it, but I will wander with you.

Irvine and temeculaguy, if you are looking, try the internet. Avoid Fashion Island, Temecula Wineries and the Chick’s parking lot.

After my first wife sued me for divorce when I was halfway through a brutal three month course of chemotherapy I had to wonder if I would ever feel like dating again. Turns out I did, and I met my wonderful new wife on Yahoo! personals six months after the Doctors told me I had remission.

She is attractive, highly educated, and can really handle investments. My ex-wife, like Irvines ex-husband, really could spend the $$$ and I will never forget the dress bought in Paris where she didn’t know the exchange rate, and the $150.00 haircuts at Bergamot Station.

Match.com is terrific.

Keep it wandering guys! The world needs more threads like this. For once its nice to have a positive image of Temecula. I always assumed it was the gun-in-one-hand, bible-in-the-other capital of the lower half of the socio-economic spectrum. It appears I was wrong and there are some superficial, yet physically attractive women there! Thats something, don’t overlook it. I mean if you gotta live in Temecula, you might as well have some nice scenery, because the actual town has done a great job of ruining what was one of the most beautiful spots in inland So-Cal. Temecula could get its own, “Real Men of Genius” bud light radio ad any day of the week, twice on sundays. You guys have given me something really deep to think about, er um look at.

I agree trashy bimbos not my thing either.

I am waiting for the implosion in Temecula to complete. Since I am a wine affionado it would be nice to perhaps have a weekened retreat there to enjoy the wineries and so forth. If prices drop in Temecula by 50% I would bit on a new home up there. For now, I am hedging bets on Texas and waiting for the knife to finish in southern California.

Mixxalot: As a wine aficionado, why on God’s earth would you go to Temecula? Hopefully, not for one of those overcooked whites or sickly sweet champagnes.

You do know that Sonoma county is getting swamped right now by foreclosures, right? You could pick up a nice place in Sta Rosa and be close to both Napa and Sonoma. Plus, the scenery is gorgeous. Yes, I am biased, having grown up there.

Course, neither Napa nor Sonoma are overrun by what I call “OC Specials”, those vaguely Stepfordish looking gals sporting thousands of dollars worth of aftermarket products.

You are right about one thing and it is sad: Temecula has some wonderful history dating back to the opening of the American frontier and it has been completely subsumed by suburbia.

I still keep an eye on my old tract house neighborhood in French Valley. My next door neighbor moved in within about 1 month of me – both of us moving into new houses. He put really tacky poorly installed (did it himself) $1 ceramic tile throughout the whole house upstairs and down. About 6 months in, he mentioned that the sun was bleaching his carpets. Turned out he couldn’t afford window coverings until he could get the first HELOC 1 year after purchase. Soon after they had a boat and 2 off road vehicles (the kind for one person only).

The zillow satellite photo is reasonably new (because I can see the people who bought our house changed the landscaping some) and the next door neighbors still have their huge dirt backyard without so much as a bit of concrete or grass for the kids to play on. They bought the house in 2002, so if they hadn’t HELOC’d, they’d be up $175k or so. I’ll be watching to see if they eventually sell and how low the prices go around there. They are around 2004 prices now.
