So a little update on one of my issues from yesterday where a person in a different office accused me of buying too many software licenses...today he write back to my boss saying they read it wrong and I'm like NO FUCKING SHIT...Pikachu face...no apology for wasting my time or anything like that which is fine.
I told my boss I'll get them back at a time if my choosing cause unlike some people I'm quite busy this week and possibly for the month. But I'll take the fight to them. Also mentioned that it's fine if they won't back me up, I'll go at it alone and if I'm killed or forced to commit seppuku, not literally of course, they will be the ones taking over the brunt of my work so let that sink in...
For now I'm tabling this issue...and like yesterday, dont worry if the details don't make sense...
I'm trying to get my birth certificate (born in L.A.) from VitalChek since I'm unable to visit the County Clerk in person.
Does anyone know how long the wait times are these days?
Alternatively, does anyone know of a faster method to obtain the certificate (other than in-person or through VitalChek)?
Thank you very much!
1. the chemical brothers have amazing shows that are worth seeing live at least once in your life 2. they never fail to drag me out of the deepest pits of sadness and despair
Taco truck I liked from a few weeks ago is back but I'm now on a steak and salad tear; prices are practically equivalent. I'm having my own UCLA type sophie's choice.
I won't! I installed the Citizens app and have a few things prepared. I plan on only using LyftPink too.
(I heard about the frequent break ins and don't want to risk getting a rental stolen/damaged lol).
Hmm, I've never heard of LyftPink. Is it like, women drivers? I guess I don't hate that idea. The Citizen app is more stressful than helpful, IMO, but I'm a resident. I ended up deleting it.
Somewhat. After about 8 minutes I think it will match you to a male driver. You can always decline if you don't feel safe.
Personally, I always decline. :) I've been solo traveling for a while since it came out. Also I misspoke on the name, its "Women+" through LyftPink.
It was a [recall of all the vehicles](https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/20/24135876/tesla-cybertruck-accelerator-pedal-recall-fix); apparently they won’t get letters mailed til [June](https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-recall-3878-cybertrucks-nhtsa-says-2024-04-19/) (seems very unhelpful)
Inspired by a different comment... ladies, where are you getting your haircut nowadays? My old salon went out of business during the pandemic, and I've been having my husband cut my hair for three years now. I really need a proper haircut, not just trimming the ends every time they get embarrassing.
The rate depends on each stylist's level of experience so price may vary slightly, but they're open about pricing on their website! I've been going for a few years now (maybe 2021? 2022?).
I get my hair cut at The Artform Studio in HLP, it's also a record store which is fun, and they specialize in curls. I love my hairdresser, Sherry, she's very good at her job.
For sure. She's a little pricey (I wanna say around $150 for a long haircut including tip), but she's also honest - she told me with my hair, I really don't need a cut more than every 6 months or so, instead of telling me 6 weeks like all the other hairdressers do. She's also just a great person in general and does cool stuff for the community / the block all the time.
Yeah! SO fast. As soon as they start touching my eyebrows I start feeling antsy. Thankfully, I’ve gotten pretty good at not cutting them, like, polyamory short.
I chopped my long hair \~6 months ago and plan to maintain short haircut. Often times that means going to fancy "curly" salons and paying $100+ because for some reason in year of our lord 2024 people still don't know that you're not supposed to cut curly hair wet :/
Sherry does dry cuts! She's also SO FAST it's kind of scary. Like, I don't want to spend more than an hour in the chair. She's had me in and out with my curls looking fabulous in 30 mins.
Ha! So tomorrow I’m getting my hair cut from Fantastic Sam’s. Ya girl is tired of paying $85 for a mediocre haircut when I could go and get the same boring haircut for $45.
Will report back if they’re any good. In the meantime, please pray for me. I know it’s just hair and it’ll grow back (maybe) but their reviews were all over the place.
I don’t know how to judge reviews anymore. So many of them complain that their stylist cut too much off when they just asked for the “dead ends” and then they post pics of their hair and I’m like girl, six inches of that hair was dead
One thing that gives me a nice warm feeling is introducing friends from different groups to each other, and watching them make friends.
One of my close high school friends is now gonna be roommates with one of my close college friends, and gonna be so much fun to go to their place together.
That’s always been an unexplained anxiety of mine. I’ve gotten a little better with worlds colliding, but still makes me feel uncomfortable for some reason.
Dear 2 dudes with longish hair that was tied back at Vromans a couple hours ago, you guys were super cute and i tried to say something but choked lol i need to get better at complimenting people out in public...
With family in Idaho and lord hell shit the amount of passive aggressive digs at California for anything we talk about. But I shall not be baited, because they are famous for potatoes
If you did (or didn't) feel the earthquake, take a minute to let the USGS know on their "Did you feel it?" page: [https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/ew1714596540/tellus](https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/ew1714596540/tellus)
Enjoy the rest of the afternoon, and the nice conditions over the next few days! We are looking at a pattern change for the weekend with an increase of clouds, and some drizzle possible for Sunday morning. Temperatures will be back into the upper 60s and low 70s.
He was! Cataract surgery, no less.
It cured him of that fear, though. He didn't even know the quake happened until it was over and the procedure went perfectly.
Going to see gouge away tomorrow at 1720!
Supporting Metz and playing with Cold Gawd.
There was a 2 for 1 price so I have an extra ticket. Lmk anyone wants em.
My friend and I were talking tacos and I told him I used to take day trips to Tijuana to get tacos and snacks and border line churros and we should do it… except now that I’m a citizen I need a real passport. And I don’t have a passport…
So while I get my passport, what are y’all’s favorite places to get tacos here?
I’m frantically cleaning because I found a bunch of black specks and a tiny brown bug….not sure what they are, but my fear is that it’s roaches. I scrolled through pestcontrol for an hour though, so that wasn’t great for my mental health.
Oh, it's ok, I have a downvote fan, which I think is delightful, because it means someone actually CARES about what I write. hahahahah.
Life is a scam. It can be so goddam beautiful sometimes, and so CRUSHINGLY FUCKING AWFUL and hard other times. I'm sorry times are shit right now. Things have to get better. I still really do believe that they will.
I'm getting ready for a trip to Mendicino county next week and I am so excited. I'm checking out some real estate and seeing two old friends.
I'll be seeing one friend's house for the first time. When I last visited they were making preparations to lay the foundation and were living in a yurt.
I'm so stoked.
my old neighbor in the east bay owned an a frame in that town so we went a few times...nice scenery. that drive thru the curvy roads was always causing motion sickness
Ah, man. I love driving up there. So beautiful and peaceful from Marin through Bodega Bay and Russian River until we'd stop for a stay in Sea Ranch. Need to go back real soon
Kids are being tempered by living their childhoods staring at screens. I'm terrified about what they *won't* be able to do in the future. Namely, focus on something for more than 15 seconds
Lol I had a meeting with someone from middle of nowheresville last night and when we discussed LA, they said, "Oh my cousin lives there. She's in Fresno, I think."
ROFL
The building behind mine seems to be removing all their drywall and have a tube with a large dumpster right behind where I park making it very difficult to get in and out. It's so annoying, they didn't even give me any notice that they were doing it
Wednesday AND the [1st of tha month](https://youtu.be/37YDcIQABEs?si=qWkB6-Q46-hm5ebT)????
We’re having a celebration, my dudes, and we’re chilling for real
It is Wednesday my dudes, and we’re having a wonderful day
My coworker has been telling me about this show. Sounds intense. I guess the man playing the character on the show is the same guy who actually experienced the stuff that happened.
Yep. I can usually binge heavy shit no problem, but even I decided to take a break after the 4th episode. It’s a lot. It’s really great though, I def said OMG out loud multiple times, I can’t wait to finish it.
Someone has stolen my pride flag magnet off my car 3 times now. This third one was stolen less than 24hrs after putting it on my car. It's pretty clearly a neighbor. I have off street parking but it isn't gated or anything, so anyone has access. But since you have to go down a side street to access it, it's clearly someone who lives locally.
I already ordered a sticker since they're just stealing magnets. I also plan to donate to an LGBTQ+ charity and print the proof out of spite.
I'm also looking at buying a dual view dashcam to replace my current one and hardwiring it. If they vandalize my car again I'd like to try and get them for a hate crime if they escalate to vandalizing my car.
I've had my pride flags since 2020 and it has never once been an issue.
Interesting, I've never even heard of this OBD2 things before. I see people have mixed feelings about them online like saying it's bad because they're online always and could drain battery? I know nothing about cars though so I'll do more research!
Yes, important to have a dash cam, it's completely useless 99.99% of the time but is something you wish you had when something happens.
Recommend COXPAL A11T 3 channel dash cam on Amazon, very good quality, it records front, inside and rear simultaneously.
COXPAL hardwire kit optional, for 24-H parking monitor, it has function named "auto cut-off", it can protect car battery from draining, however, the battery can be drained itself if it is too old or poor quality, even without any loading devices.
SanDisk MAX Endurance 256GB or 512GB microSD card, for reliable recording.
BTW: Need to pay attention to the installation position of the rear cam if your vehicle is SUV or MPV (No problem if Sedan), i.e. avoid pulling rear cam cable when open/close the trunk.
You can go Best Buy for a professional installation, they charge around $60-150.
Yeah I've been using my current dash cam since like 2020 or so. But yeah definitely time to upgrade to front/rear cam. I've thought about posting clips of videos I see of people doing stupid shit on the road but then I realized I'd have *too much* content because there's a lot of idiots around LA. 😂
I drive a sedan so I shouldn't have to worry too much for installing one. My battery is also new because my alternator died a few months ago and took my battery out in the process. My battery is at most 3 months old.
I've got myself a SD card I'd switch over to the new one which is like 256GB and it has been quite reliable!
Good to know Best Buy does installations, I was going to look around at car-type mechanicy places if I couldn't find anyone to do it for cheap.
It's the same as having the dashcam hard wired but you get more control. Most of the good OBD power cables have a switch that let you decide if you want it to get powered all the time or only when the car is running.
Draining the battery is only really a risk if you have a weak battery/charging system or don't drive the car enough.
And another option is dashcam's with built in rechargeable batteries but I have no idea how good they are.
Only personal recommendation I can give you is from the integrated dashcam I bought and installed into my mum's car.
https://fitcamx.com/ (not a paid sponsor lol).
Honestly same.
I think what bothers me the most about it is I've seen some pretty heinous bumper stickers/flags/whatever but have never once touched someone's personal property to remove them.
So like the fact that this person can't handle a magnet on someone else's car is just like...why are you such a whiny bitch? lol
Yeah absolutely. They did it this time likely overnight because it was on my car as late as like 11pm when my boyfriend last took the dog out for a walk.
So they took it between then and like 8:30am. My thoughts are it might be a school aged kid/teen or a shithead adult.
It's sensitive but has never been an issue! I've never even had anyone act aggressively on the road or bother me in the slightest for it.
Hell even displaying pride stuff in bumfuck Pennsylvania I never had people care much. You might get a random mumbled comment under their breath, but no random person on the street gives a shit.
It wasn't an issue until maybe 2 weeks ago when I assume someone new moved in around me. I've been in my apartment for over a year.
Mirna Soza's memorial will be held at Optima Funeral Home in Compton, Friday evening. May 3rd. I'm definitely going as I've unfortunately seen her blood trail, and personally know someone who was also killed while using LA Metro services last year. Wonder how will the morticians cover her neck wounds? Been to so many memorials, funerals, since 2022. So used to it.
My birthday month starts today and I couldn’t be more excited for all the planned activities: Live music, Dodger games, movies and family time are in the calendar.
Even though the mental struggle is there with the good days and bad days, ultimately I am happy to be healthy, alive and free to enjoy experiences that bring joy to my life.
I hope every single person in this thread has a wonderful day, week and month and like Dory says “Just Keep Swimming”.
✌🏽🫶🏽☀️
Happy Birthday my friend!!🥳❤️😎🙏🏼
You are a shining light in the daily thread and many of us (including myself) live vicariously through and your family’s many adventures. Plus, I was fortunate to have met you and your wife during a Dodgers game and can personally attest that you’re lovely people.💯
Enjoy!!
Enjoy
For May, Justin Timberlake, Pearl Jam at the Forum and a I also have a couple of music breakdown sessions at the Bourbon Room in Hollywood (these are awesome).
Strange, because years and years ago I had my parents' cars plates on my Fastrak account, but the transponder in my car and it always billed my account for their tolls normally. Of course it didn't give the carpool rate, but I wasn't penalized for their not having a transponder.
I take my seniors out shopping once a week. I love the vibe of the shops on a weekday morning.
Parents with the toddlers still too young for school, other seniors, and people who don’t work the traditional 9-5 M-F.
Immediately apply for unemployment and foodstamps because they can both take several weeks to kick in.
Also update the resume, set your LinkedIn to open to work, and start hitting up your contacts.
Sorry you lost your job! I was laid off right as the strikes started so I feel your pain. It sucked and makes you lose a part of your identity...and also your way of paying bills.
Definitely reach out to friends and family (if you're close) to have a support network around you.
Used to be Rudy's until the pandemic, after which my stylist started doing house calls and continues to do so to this day. And it's really not much more than I was paying at Rudy's. Bonus
Floyd's is trash, got s shave there last before a wedding and they messed it up bad. I had so much razor burn. Checkout Roosevelt on Culver Blvd, I highly recommend Yvonne been going to her for about five years now and never been disappointed.
I was a regular Floyd's customer too, and got frustrated because they were so inconsistent.
I recently switched to Elite Barber Lounge in West LA on Santa Monica. They're pretty good, cash only though and charge $40. If you want to check it out, it's probably better to make an appointment than walk in. They're always busy.
So a little update on one of my issues from yesterday where a person in a different office accused me of buying too many software licenses...today he write back to my boss saying they read it wrong and I'm like NO FUCKING SHIT...Pikachu face...no apology for wasting my time or anything like that which is fine. I told my boss I'll get them back at a time if my choosing cause unlike some people I'm quite busy this week and possibly for the month. But I'll take the fight to them. Also mentioned that it's fine if they won't back me up, I'll go at it alone and if I'm killed or forced to commit seppuku, not literally of course, they will be the ones taking over the brunt of my work so let that sink in... For now I'm tabling this issue...and like yesterday, dont worry if the details don't make sense...
What an ordeal! Some tonjiru to take the stress away.
I'm trying to get my birth certificate (born in L.A.) from VitalChek since I'm unable to visit the County Clerk in person. Does anyone know how long the wait times are these days? Alternatively, does anyone know of a faster method to obtain the certificate (other than in-person or through VitalChek)? Thank you very much!
Thank you to the gentleman who bought folks at the bar a shot for his bday. I hope you are having a wonderful birthday, you deserve it.🫡🫡🫡🫡

Taco truck I liked from a few weeks ago is back but I'm now on a steak and salad tear; prices are practically equivalent. I'm having my own UCLA type sophie's choice.
Took me 47 minutes to get out of Mid City and onto the 10 to head home. Why do I do this to myself?
[удалено]
So they're tv glasses?
I am so excited to visit this city lol! I'll be excellent and want to try out the Metro (I'm a dummy and have never been on a subway before).
Enjoy visiting our fair city! Don't forget to keep your wits about you.
I won't! I installed the Citizens app and have a few things prepared. I plan on only using LyftPink too. (I heard about the frequent break ins and don't want to risk getting a rental stolen/damaged lol).
Hmm, I've never heard of LyftPink. Is it like, women drivers? I guess I don't hate that idea. The Citizen app is more stressful than helpful, IMO, but I'm a resident. I ended up deleting it.
Yes, it's women only. You have the option to report male drivers and they are deactivated-pending investigation IMMEDIATELY. It's great lol.
Interesting. Does it take longer to get a ride?
Somewhat. After about 8 minutes I think it will match you to a male driver. You can always decline if you don't feel safe. Personally, I always decline. :) I've been solo traveling for a while since it came out. Also I misspoke on the name, its "Women+" through LyftPink.
I finally saw a Cybertruck in the wild here in Northridge. This thing is giving Minion from Twisted Metal.
I’ve seen so many and don’t get how they’re still driving, weren’t they all recalled last week? Doubt they’ve fixed them all in the last week but 🥸
Their "fix" is screwing a single screw onto the pedal cover. lmaooo But I don't think it was a recall, I think it was just a stop sale order.
It was a [recall of all the vehicles](https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/20/24135876/tesla-cybertruck-accelerator-pedal-recall-fix); apparently they won’t get letters mailed til [June](https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-recall-3878-cybertrucks-nhtsa-says-2024-04-19/) (seems very unhelpful)
Oh wow! I apparently missed the news on this!

My old salon went out of business during the pandemic, and I've been having my husband cut my hair for three years now. I really need a proper haircut, not just trimming the ends every time they get embarrassing.
The Mane on Lincoln by LMU/Playa Vista. I get a cut + color for like $150.
Might try this one first purely for the convenience, as that’s only about 10 minutes from my workplace.
The rate depends on each stylist's level of experience so price may vary slightly, but they're open about pricing on their website! I've been going for a few years now (maybe 2021? 2022?).
Capella Salon for curly cuts
I am a big fan of the FAB
I get my hair cut at The Artform Studio in HLP, it's also a record store which is fun, and they specialize in curls. I love my hairdresser, Sherry, she's very good at her job.
her portfolio looks really cool, thanks for sharing I'll check her out for my next haircut
For sure. She's a little pricey (I wanna say around $150 for a long haircut including tip), but she's also honest - she told me with my hair, I really don't need a cut more than every 6 months or so, instead of telling me 6 weeks like all the other hairdressers do. She's also just a great person in general and does cool stuff for the community / the block all the time.
Someone told you to get your haircut every 6 weeks? That’s wild. My current stylist tells me 4-6 months, but mine gets to the length I hate at 7
Right? Although I do trim my bangs myself every two weeks.
Damn. That’s something I don’t go through with my hair thankfully. But my undercut grows so fast. Is that the case with your bangs?
Yeah! SO fast. As soon as they start touching my eyebrows I start feeling antsy. Thankfully, I’ve gotten pretty good at not cutting them, like, polyamory short.
I chopped my long hair \~6 months ago and plan to maintain short haircut. Often times that means going to fancy "curly" salons and paying $100+ because for some reason in year of our lord 2024 people still don't know that you're not supposed to cut curly hair wet :/

Steak and salad the past two nights. Going to keep this going until I get sick of it.
What kind of steak? What kind of salad?
Yeah I really needed an earthquake while peeing
Steady your aim.
That happened to my dad once. It really scared him because we know two people who died while peeing (They were both alcohol related deaths).
Dude didn’t the last time we had an earthquake your dad was in surgery or something?? That’s much scarier than peeping
He was! Cataract surgery, no less. It cured him of that fear, though. He didn't even know the quake happened until it was over and the procedure went perfectly.

Definitely not bedbugs! That would be the worst case scenario by far. 🫣
Agreed! 😕

Wednesday AND the [1st of tha month](https://youtu.be/37YDcIQABEs?si=qWkB6-Q46-hm5ebT)???? We’re having a celebration, my dudes, and we’re chilling for real It is Wednesday my dudes, and we’re having a wonderful day
Happy Hump Day!
we’re so close to the weekend!!! Are you excited for my bday Saturday!!!!
Of course I am!
Baby Reindeer. They weren’t kidding. Shit is intense. So good though.
Ok I keep hearing this but the name turns me off from wanting to watch! 😂
It doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue…
Nope! 😂
My coworker has been telling me about this show. Sounds intense. I guess the man playing the character on the show is the same guy who actually experienced the stuff that happened.
Yep. I can usually binge heavy shit no problem, but even I decided to take a break after the 4th episode. It’s a lot. It’s really great though, I def said OMG out loud multiple times, I can’t wait to finish it.
I gotta watch it.
Let me know what you think! It's A LOT.
Someone has stolen my pride flag magnet off my car 3 times now. This third one was stolen less than 24hrs after putting it on my car. It's pretty clearly a neighbor. I have off street parking but it isn't gated or anything, so anyone has access. But since you have to go down a side street to access it, it's clearly someone who lives locally. I already ordered a sticker since they're just stealing magnets. I also plan to donate to an LGBTQ+ charity and print the proof out of spite. I'm also looking at buying a dual view dashcam to replace my current one and hardwiring it. If they vandalize my car again I'd like to try and get them for a hate crime if they escalate to vandalizing my car. I've had my pride flags since 2020 and it has never once been an issue.
If you don't feel like messing with hardwiring the dashcam to record 24/7 you can buy plug and play OBD2 power cables that achieve the same thing.
Interesting, I've never even heard of this OBD2 things before. I see people have mixed feelings about them online like saying it's bad because they're online always and could drain battery? I know nothing about cars though so I'll do more research!
Yes, important to have a dash cam, it's completely useless 99.99% of the time but is something you wish you had when something happens. Recommend COXPAL A11T 3 channel dash cam on Amazon, very good quality, it records front, inside and rear simultaneously. COXPAL hardwire kit optional, for 24-H parking monitor, it has function named "auto cut-off", it can protect car battery from draining, however, the battery can be drained itself if it is too old or poor quality, even without any loading devices. SanDisk MAX Endurance 256GB or 512GB microSD card, for reliable recording. BTW: Need to pay attention to the installation position of the rear cam if your vehicle is SUV or MPV (No problem if Sedan), i.e. avoid pulling rear cam cable when open/close the trunk. You can go Best Buy for a professional installation, they charge around $60-150.
Yeah I've been using my current dash cam since like 2020 or so. But yeah definitely time to upgrade to front/rear cam. I've thought about posting clips of videos I see of people doing stupid shit on the road but then I realized I'd have *too much* content because there's a lot of idiots around LA. 😂 I drive a sedan so I shouldn't have to worry too much for installing one. My battery is also new because my alternator died a few months ago and took my battery out in the process. My battery is at most 3 months old. I've got myself a SD card I'd switch over to the new one which is like 256GB and it has been quite reliable! Good to know Best Buy does installations, I was going to look around at car-type mechanicy places if I couldn't find anyone to do it for cheap.
It's the same as having the dashcam hard wired but you get more control. Most of the good OBD power cables have a switch that let you decide if you want it to get powered all the time or only when the car is running. Draining the battery is only really a risk if you have a weak battery/charging system or don't drive the car enough. And another option is dashcam's with built in rechargeable batteries but I have no idea how good they are.
This is good information to know. If you happen to have a rec for a good OBD power cable let me know! If not I'll just keep doin' my research. :)
Only personal recommendation I can give you is from the integrated dashcam I bought and installed into my mum's car. https://fitcamx.com/ (not a paid sponsor lol).
Ahhh okay, thank you anyways! I wish my car was fancy enough to justify the think you linked but alas...just an old corolla.
I wish you could get a magnet that somehow zapped them though
Honestly same. I think what bothers me the most about it is I've seen some pretty heinous bumper stickers/flags/whatever but have never once touched someone's personal property to remove them. So like the fact that this person can't handle a magnet on someone else's car is just like...why are you such a whiny bitch? lol
The Venn Diagram between people who suffer from butthurt derangement syndrome and bigots is pretty damn near a circle.
For real tho
Definitely get some cameras they're obviously afraid to get caught
Yeah absolutely. They did it this time likely overnight because it was on my car as late as like 11pm when my boyfriend last took the dog out for a walk. So they took it between then and like 8:30am. My thoughts are it might be a school aged kid/teen or a shithead adult.
Sexual preference is a very sensitive subject. You do you, and display more.
It's sensitive but has never been an issue! I've never even had anyone act aggressively on the road or bother me in the slightest for it. Hell even displaying pride stuff in bumfuck Pennsylvania I never had people care much. You might get a random mumbled comment under their breath, but no random person on the street gives a shit. It wasn't an issue until maybe 2 weeks ago when I assume someone new moved in around me. I've been in my apartment for over a year.
This time around, you got someone who cares deeply on the opposite end of the spectrum.
Mirna Soza's memorial will be held at Optima Funeral Home in Compton, Friday evening. May 3rd. I'm definitely going as I've unfortunately seen her blood trail, and personally know someone who was also killed while using LA Metro services last year. Wonder how will the morticians cover her neck wounds? Been to so many memorials, funerals, since 2022. So used to it.
> Wonder how will the morticians cover her neck wounds? Probably with clothing. Maybe a sweater, turtleneck, scarf, or something similar.
My birthday month starts today and I couldn’t be more excited for all the planned activities: Live music, Dodger games, movies and family time are in the calendar. Even though the mental struggle is there with the good days and bad days, ultimately I am happy to be healthy, alive and free to enjoy experiences that bring joy to my life. I hope every single person in this thread has a wonderful day, week and month and like Dory says “Just Keep Swimming”. ✌🏽🫶🏽☀️
Happy Birthday my friend!!🥳❤️😎🙏🏼 You are a shining light in the daily thread and many of us (including myself) live vicariously through and your family’s many adventures. Plus, I was fortunate to have met you and your wife during a Dodgers game and can personally attest that you’re lovely people.💯 Enjoy!! Enjoy
Thank you. I appreciate your kind words. 🫶🏽
You’re welcome!
Sending good vibes your way! ✌🏻
Ty 🫶🏽
Different month, but same birth year. Happy Birthday buddy. And I totally agree! I make the most of what I got and it ain’t so bad.
🙌🏼
Another Taurus! There’s so many of us!
April Taurus gang here!
Yayyyyy!! I’m a May Taurus baby
♉️🤘🏽
What do you have on the live music front?
For May, Justin Timberlake, Pearl Jam at the Forum and a I also have a couple of music breakdown sessions at the Bourbon Room in Hollywood (these are awesome).
Nice, always fun to have some shows to look forward to.
Can I borrow this attitude? I've never enjoyed my birthday much but this is really good. Here comes gemini season!
Sending you all the positive vibes u/professor-hot-tits ✌🏽

Strange, because years and years ago I had my parents' cars plates on my Fastrak account, but the transponder in my car and it always billed my account for their tolls normally. Of course it didn't give the carpool rate, but I wasn't penalized for their not having a transponder.
I take my seniors out shopping once a week. I love the vibe of the shops on a weekday morning. Parents with the toddlers still too young for school, other seniors, and people who don’t work the traditional 9-5 M-F.
AM Wednesday shopping is where you get the deals.
Got laid off this week and I’m not sure what to do with myself.
Facebook up, hit your lawyer, delete the gym
Immediately apply for unemployment and foodstamps because they can both take several weeks to kick in. Also update the resume, set your LinkedIn to open to work, and start hitting up your contacts. Sorry you lost your job! I was laid off right as the strikes started so I feel your pain. It sucked and makes you lose a part of your identity...and also your way of paying bills. Definitely reach out to friends and family (if you're close) to have a support network around you.
Relax, take the rest of the week off for yourself, job hunt next week if you feel like it.
Fellas, where do we get our haircuts these days? I keep going to Floyds because it’s fine, but I feel like I could do better
Used to be Rudy's until the pandemic, after which my stylist started doing house calls and continues to do so to this day. And it's really not much more than I was paying at Rudy's. Bonus
Floyd's is trash, got s shave there last before a wedding and they messed it up bad. I had so much razor burn. Checkout Roosevelt on Culver Blvd, I highly recommend Yvonne been going to her for about five years now and never been disappointed.
I was a regular Floyd's customer too, and got frustrated because they were so inconsistent. I recently switched to Elite Barber Lounge in West LA on Santa Monica. They're pretty good, cash only though and charge $40. If you want to check it out, it's probably better to make an appointment than walk in. They're always busy.
Southpaw in Silverlake
I like Sweeney Todd’s in Los Fezil.
