CoronitaParticipantJWM:
Wow, another December baby. So many folks I know are having one in december. Congrats. Definitely, the one of the best things in life, I ahve to say..It will take your breath away. (as well as some sleep early on 🙂 )
CoronitaParticipantSDR, just curious…
If Ricechex went back and to live in one room of her home to claim it as a primary residence for 2 years, would she avoid the recaptured depreciation from a rental AND also be eligible for the primary residence cap gains exemption if she decides to sells it after living there for 2 years?
Also, if she subletted one room, and "lived" in the other, could she still claim it as a primary residence?
Just curious.
CoronitaParticipantAs a U.S. citizen, I can apply for P.R. for my in-laws, who are in their 70ies. Being over 65, once they get P.R., they pretty much can get welfare and all health benefits
Some info on legal immigration: Most legal immigration needs a sponsor. Since you are talking about in-laws, you can't sponsor them. A Citizen can sponsor parents, minor children, brothers & sisters. If your wife is a US Citizen, she can sponsor for her parents. Sponsoring requires executing a legally binding, "Affidavit of Support", wherein, the sponsor agrees to pay for all expenses of immigrant for 5 years. Now, if they are indigent after 5 years, they can probably apply for SSI/Medical-Medicaid etc., But it is definitely not "get off the boat/aircraft, rush to welfare office" scenario that is sometimes portrayed. I do know many illegals use food stamps, that is because they have minor dependent children, most likely born here in US.
You are correct bsrsharma, I meant "we" as in wife and me. And yes, she is a U.S. citizen. and there is waiting period, I forgot exactly the number of years. Thanks for reminding me (err, not something I personally would prefer actually. This has come up soo many times in discussions at families)
As long as they are over 65, SSI/Medical is available to them after the waiting period. My point is still, the system has a lot of holes for abuse. It needs reform.
October 5, 2007 at 10:41 PM in reply to: Employment is down and so is early stock trading ` 200+ points…. #87152CoronitaParticipantOnce upon a time I use to laugh when a canadian friend talks in terms of Canadian dollars. I would joke that, oh wait that's worth .0001 usd.
Well, I guess the joke is on me now.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=CADUSD=X
1 CAN = 1.0197 USD
But something that is interesting. Has anyone noticed that even though the USD has devalued relative to CAN, that prices of Cars in canada are completely wacked relative to car prices here? Or for that matter, magazines….

CoronitaParticipantSince this thread is so jacked anyway, I'm going to hijack it and talk about football. (Sorry Rich, I know you don't like people hijacking threads).
Ok, I like the Raiders, especially when they moved to L.A. BUT, can some raider fan explain to me why
1) When the Raiders lose, Raiders fans riot
2) When the Raiders win, Raiders fans riot
I mean, it was frickin scary when I was in Oakland for a few games in the past.
CoronitaParticipantnostradamus,
I am not white. I guess you could say I would be considered a "minority", even though I don't like to play that card and not really the case in california.
Anyway, I'm not against welfare for the truely poor and needy. America is a very generous country, and that's one of it's strength. BUT, i do feel that sometimes america is TOO generous. See here's my problem with welfare.
As a U.S. citizen, I can apply for P.R. for my in-laws, who are in their 70ies. Being over 65, once they get P.R., they pretty much can get welfare and all health benefits. This is pretty messed up imho, irrespective of race/ethnicity because these folks have never paid taxes, and yet are taxing the system. And these folks won't ever contribute to the system because they are beyond their earning years. And this happens quite often. In fact, quite often some of these ancestors are extremely wealthy overseas, yet still take advantage of our system's generousity because there is no record of their financial situation overseas.
This sort of abuse makes me sick frankly. Because welfare wasn't defined for this kind of abuse, and sometimes I feel people don't appreciate the generousity of this country. Second, we really can't afford such handouts these days. I wish our government would reform welfare laws frankly to reduce such abuses.
It's unfortunate that sometimes the need to reform policies get mixed with other group's agendas such that it is perceived as racism or what have you. The need for reform seems to get lost in all the politics.
CoronitaParticipantRustico,
Actually, once upon i time, when I went to a hotel, I did bring my own sheets. I am a product of my mother's bringing, in which she is absolutely a hygene nut. To this day, I won't walk out of a bathroom without a paper towel in hand that I use to wrap the door handle when I walk out. Namely, because many people don't wash their hands when they leave the bathroom.No grilling this weekend. Need to play mr dad because is mom's weekend out.
CoronitaParticipantWow,
I'm going to have to step out of my nice shell for a minute that I've been trying to fit.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS FREE SITE THAT RICH T. GENEROUSLY SUPPORTS EITHER
1) GO AWAY
2) OFFER TO ADD CONTENT(USEFUL) CONTENT TO IT FOR FREE
I don't think Rich's makes significant income from this FREE site. and Some folks DO post useful information here (unfortunately, I'm not one of them).
BTW, did I mention this is a FREE site?
FREE FREE FREE FREEE FREEE FREE FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
note to self: I've been frantically trying to put a webcrawler together that agregates all bankowned properties from different websites, but like so many others here, I have a regular day job too, with possibly the exception of Rustico, which has the means to contract everything out to everyone else :).
You're starting to sound like a union member. You want something for doing nothing.
—– Sour grapes for everyone!
CoronitaParticipantI know people hate costco here, but. There's one for $3k shipped.
Some things I worry about getting a used hot tub
1)From a man with a family: hot tub previously with kiddy's poopie and peeie.
2)From a bachelor: hot tub used for…Think about everything you plan on doing with it….Uh, never mind.
If you do decide to buy the one from craigslist, please don't use the extra wire to hang yourself. Electrical wire tend to break when subject to human weight and we wouldn't want to see perfectly good electric wire go to waste. Oh yeah, and we love you. :),
October 5, 2007 at 6:13 PM in reply to: Housing prices in free fall along Mount Soledad Road in La Jolla #87118CoronitaParticipantYeah, how come Rustico and I didn't get invited to the BBQ, I had to take all the sharp objects and rope out his house. After those attacks I cried for two hours then went to Target to buy more kleenex and asked what section they had a "life" in. The real reson I feel left out on Labor Day is that I don't consider myself much of a laborer, I pay a someone to mow my lawn, clean my house, fix my car, so it seemed appropriate to pay someone to go to the BBQ for me.
Sorry about that Rustico and Temeculaguy.
1) First, on Labor Day, I was wishing everyone a Happy Labor Day, in the spirit of the working person. (I do recall posting something about go out and enjoy the day off).
http://piggington.com/ot_the_meaning_of_labor_day
Sorry, you were tempted to hang yourself. I should have known better. I'm really trying to get in touch with my femine side these days. I'm trying to use more gentle terms like "mentally challenged" instead of "stupid dips*". Besides, neither of which the two of you are anyway.
2) no one takes me seriously anyway on this board. I'm sorry if you had faith in most of what I post to begin with. I surely don't
3)As much as I wanted to invite you guys, you aren't a paid member of FLU-W. I can't legally have non-union members to an event paid and labored by unioned workers. Sorry, union rules. I normally would have 1 guest pass, but unfortunately that would have be reserved for SD R anyway, and I didn't want to upset the two of you that I would have given preferential treatment to SDR, so I decided not to bring it up at all.
4) Besides, my days of throwing wild hot tub parties are over.
5) I do hear that if Vons offers "Life" in isle 2, usually at buy one, get one free with the vons card 🙂
6)If you really want to be part of a the next union party, get on a flight to Beijing end of october, because that's we're the next party is.
CoronitaParticipantForgot to mention there are other account types, which aren't of concern to me. Namely Irrevocable Trusts, employee benefit plan, corp, government accounts.
October 3, 2007 at 9:34 PM in reply to: Housing prices in free fall along Mount Soledad Road in La Jolla #86903CoronitaParticipantFor those who had to post their nasty flame posts into this thread…
The post was just a joke. Get a life. Get a sense of humor. This has always been an “edgy” forum where threads like this one are par for the course.
You want my tears, and sympathy for who? For a few multi-millionaires living in La Jolla who bought homes on a mushy landslide prone hill? Give me a break.
And no I wasn't seriously suggesting this landslide will hurt La Jolla housing prices.
There's been more than one person that posted about flames and "getting a life". Actually, I don't think anyone that posts here regularly can't really tell anyone else to get a life with a straight face, if you know what I mean. Ironic isn't it 🙂

1) No I don't live on Torryview. I personally think that development is a little weird.
2) 12615 El Camino Real is a Crest unit that went pending few weeks ago i think. Asking is $565k if I remember. That's like $70k below peak. This unit though faces the street (Elijah, I think).
3) San Rafael has an expensive HOA ($270?/month?)
4) I don't like Palacio (Ruette De Mer) Think there is an elevation problem==> mold/mildew, also too close to 56 ramp.
CoronitaParticipantFLU you are getting too nice…could you please go back to slamming everyone's fat, stupid kids and exchanging other such pleasantries.
I've been working to get in tough with my femine side of things.
Besides, obviously I'm not good at math, because I can't seem to figure out why it takes me longer to 10 minutes to get to Santee even in my when i tap out my chipped/turbocharged car
Seriously though, to the original poster. Run some data on say carmel valley attached market that I commented on days ago. The numbers don't lie.
3/3 townhome was around $620-$650k back in 2004-2005. Latest actual sales comps have been in the $560k/580k.
