• Money's tight, the kids drive you crazy, your boss sucks - do you ever just want to reach out and tell your friends, but think you're being too needy? Try posting on F***MYLIFE.com and get some helpful feedback from anonymous friends. Thanks to LA Snark for the link.
• A Buena Park man disappeared last September in a tragic boating accident. Or did he?

• Orange Country has recently added a Toll Free line for residents to call and report pollution by fellow residents. That's right, if your neighbor likes to spill paint thinner in the storm drain, call 1-877-89-SPILL.
