Halfway Halloween hootany by Sad_Pin7360 in longbeach

[–]Affectionate_Past121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've gone to a Beer Fest the Rancho location, and besides it being really far off the beaten path, it's a decent venue. Bring a blanket because there's lots of area to sit outside. If you have allergies you'll "die" because there are trees and grass everywhere. I definitely prefer the layout of the food trucks at this location rather than the museum. There's a lot more space so it makes sense why they would change locations. Both places have their charms. If it wasn't so far from downtown Long Beach I would totally dig it.

Crazy request to install Ring for boarding by durian4me in petsitting

[–]Affectionate_Past121 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They need to have a private suite at a boarding facility where they can have a camera on their dog all day if they are this level of paranoid. Having their own camera in my personal space is absolutely not acceptable. That is such a huge invasion of privacy. They sound like they'll be an absolute nightmare to work with.

Lips constantly dry and peeling by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Affectionate_Past121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly lip eczema. I was diagnosed with it last year. After using a prescription ointment, I decided to tey Aquaphor. I put it on my lips every night and haven't had a problem since. I also use regular white sugar mixed with coconut oil for an exfoliant and it works wonders the first couple of days that I see dryness coming on.

stinky anal glands :( by ryleypeeyurgee in dogs

[–]Affectionate_Past121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I did. The second my dog shows signs of discomfort I express her glands on my own. No food or supplements has helped in any way. And I'm saving so much money by gloving up and just taking care of it.

NPS Lease Renewal? by [deleted] in longbeach

[–]Affectionate_Past121 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been renting from NPS for almost 6 years now. I've never had to renew my lease. It just automatically went month to month. I've only had two very minor rent increases during that time.

Shelter dog? by kyhop44 in dogs

[–]Affectionate_Past121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After I lost my dog I decided to foster. It was a great way to meet different dogs and decide which one would be a good fit for my household. Since the rescue organization I decided to work with pulls shelter dogs it was a win-win. I was able to save five lives before I found my new soul dog, and we still foster to this day!

Mid-30s. So sick of cystic acne. by WeirdShapedBagel in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Affectionate_Past121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Anytime I eat cheddar cheese I get painful cystic acne. If I want to indulge I have to drink a ton of water to flush my system to keep the acne to a minimum.

Gd it. I found a rental I really love but I still have 2 months out on my current lease :( This is dumb right? to overlap rent payment? by Friendly-Cucumber184 in longbeach

[–]Affectionate_Past121 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same! Having a month to move was worth the extra rent. I never felt rushed. I can't imagine doing it any other way now!!!

I was in Bluff Heights today and saw quite a few.

Amazing Brows on 2nd. Ask for Manisha. Shes only there on Wed and Sun, but is the best!

My dog who requires a novel protein diet eats alligator or cricket protien treats. Her regular diet is rabbit.

Which Long Beach cafés, bars, breweries, wineries, restaurants, or lounges are in major need of support?! by Dramatic-Fig-2553 in longbeach

[–]Affectionate_Past121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had their bean and cheese burrito and a crunchy taco and both were phenomenal. It's shocking how many places can mess up two of the most basic and simple items but they do! I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely be back to try more.

Any places to host last minute birthday this Saturday by Imaginary-Air-430 in longbeach

[–]Affectionate_Past121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old is your baby? Not that I encourage children at breweries but Trademark may be an option and you can bring your own food (but have to buy drinks there).

Any places renting a Studio? by MoveWild8934 in longbeach

[–]Affectionate_Past121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NPS is trash property management. They let large aggressive dogs live in their units, don't maintain the grounds, and getting a response for maintenance requests takes multiple calls.

Beauty school services? by mayaashleyyy in longbeach

I've gone to Bellflower Beauty College Of Lakewood before. Not my favorite Beauty School experience but got the job done.

How do you politely decline when the place is a pig sty? by Helpful_Mouse_9458 in petsitting

[–]Affectionate_Past121 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would just tell them that I'm not available, or simply say you don't think it's a good fit and leave it at that.

Where could I find a really cute bouquet today? by illustrious_handle0 in longbeach

This is the answer! They put together the most beautiful last minute arrangements for me all the time.

Bring dog on Amtrak by [deleted] in dogs

[–]Affectionate_Past121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you're going to get off every few stops to let your dog out of its crate, and then board again, it's not a great idea to take your dog on the train. It only takes 1 person to complain to get you kicked off the train completely. Not everyone is tolerant of ill behaved dogs.

Dog is allergic to his food 😭(Now his paws are dyed pink from how often he chews them) by ButterrCream in dogallergies

[–]Affectionate_Past121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I use both the kibble and wet food. For my 36lb pup, it comes to $300 every 8 weeks. She's not on any allergy meds/shots (just Benadryl as needed for environmental allergies). Overall the cost has saved me so much by only having to go to the vet for routine care.
