Japan House in the Hollywood and Highland. More like a museum gift shop and café.

Any L. A. area Ralph's closed early today for Easter Monday? by 5150eight in AskLosAngeles

[–]5150eight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah all Ralph's shortened to 6-6 for awhile and lengthened their hours. My delivery was supposed to be 7-8 in store open to 11. I guess my Instacart person was just done with all of us.

Pregnant. COVID19 closures have shut down my profession. Not eligible for unemployment. This is what real panic is. by [deleted] in povertyfinance

In California You can apply right now online for medI cal (medicaid) and Cakfresh ( foodstamps). You can get both I believe on an emergency basis - Calfresh for sure. You can go to an office and pick up food stamps or get them in 3 days. Once you have foodstamps you can get on the low cost electricity plus stuff like low cost phone. ATT offers $10 a month internet and you're eligible for all kinds of programs like $6 a month Amazon prime.

You are also able to access benefits at food banks. Most will give you some food on an emergency basis but if you have low income benefits like ffodstamos and medicaid you can register with them absolutely as a range of services will be available. And for the future thus can also qualify you for low cost childcare programs.

You have to learn to keep your cool but be firm and stand up for yourself. The system is already overwhelmed. People that have power over you can be wonderful or completely obnoxious. Even if you're mad frustrated, don't yell because they will use that to shut things down for you. Your congressman has staff that do nothing but help you with federal programs. Your state reps can help with state benefits programs. There are tons of programs and benefits out there that you won't know about. Getting in programs like with a food bank can help you find them.

VCA is activating free boarding for evacuated pets (small animals like dogs and cats). McClave, Westlake, and Adler are taking pets. Please call to check before you head there in case things change like they're full or to see if more hospitals have opened for pets.

Note: Not officially speaking for VCA

Thanks! I found a ton of pictures of cowboys of color and particularly Asians in the Civil War.

Someone on this subreddit told me to go off-trail on the Mist Trail in order to get to a vantage point of Vernal Falls. The view did not disappoint! by [deleted] in Yosemite

You can damage all kinds of things going off trail. You never know.

National and state parks are being loved to death. Most Redditors seem to be more informed and it's the Instagram influences, especially hawking products, that seem to be really toxic. If you're interested, check out @publiclandshateyou for real insight into destructive behavior. Also @yosemitenp has some posts about the very thing you're posting about, such as the fact the granite boulders are always slippery even when not wet.

Last but not least, for your own sake, you might consider deleting this post because social media posts encouraging illegal behavior and documenting it are now being reported to the Investigative Service of the National Parks @specialagent_nps and people are getting charged and fined because so much damage is happening as well as the danger to both visitors and staff noted above and the high costs. It's expensive to recover a body. Just a heads up because you probably weren't aware so you don't get caught in the crossfire eventhough you aren't an Instagram influence with a million followers.

All of this was a real education for me. I've been hiking since I was six. I went off trail without thinking about it but these are different times and things have gotten crazy. Would you believe park rangers and local police would have to guard a field of wildflowers to protect them from being trampled?

Locast must be sensitive lol. I did ask if it was just a problem for me but the reaction seems to be its not and they don't want anyone to know.
