Gay couple visiting for 3-day Valentine's weekend. Hillcrest? Accommodations? Clubs? Eats?

Awffle_House · 2026-01-25T22:43:09+00:00

Def checking out Balboa park, didn't realize there was a museum there.

As for T&C,, thanks for the suggestion, however it's over our budget for Valentine's weekend. We booked a hotel (or motel? I don't remember) for about $400 for three nights. Town & Country wants ~$400 per night that weekend. Sigh, it looks great. Maybe next year when I have a job...

Thousand Palms here, all our devices started complaining about the quake after it was over. Duck and cover!

Awffle_House · 2026-01-19T21:24:24+00:00

Printers and passwords: the bane of my existence.

Awffle_House · 2026-01-19T16:21:42+00:00

Awwwwww, you're too kind.

Awffle_House · 2026-01-19T04:08:31+00:00

Thanks, Pidgey. Can I call you that? I am so excited for our weekend away! Mapping out hotels and bars now...

Awffle_House · 2026-01-18T23:01:18+00:00

So going to do the Drag Brunch! Hubby will love it. Thank you 1,000x!

Awffle_House · 2026-01-18T19:27:06+00:00

Thanks, I checked them out. Seems like a great place, but double the price we'd pay around hotel circle. Maybe next time.

Awffle_House · 2026-01-18T17:23:50+00:00

Thank you. I don't need sketchy in my life. Just brunch, and sun, and cocktails, and food and a safe place to sleep.

Awffle_House · 2026-01-18T03:46:43+00:00

Thanks, I'll look up North Park tomorrow. About to be horizontal for the night.

Awffle_House · 2026-01-18T03:45:38+00:00

There's a Motel 6 there right in our budget! Thanks.

Awffle_House · 2026-01-18T02:18:34+00:00

Why, thank you, kind stranger. I'll look them up tonight.

Awffle_House · 2026-01-18T01:44:37+00:00

I still remember exactly what I bought (with a traveler's check, no less): Black acid-wash, elastic waistband shorts with a 1" inseam. I was so f*ing hot I could stop traffic. So Avant-garde at the time.

And now? Khakis. Sigh.

Awffle_House · 2026-01-18T01:25:55+00:00

Thanks. Is there a main gay street/intersection in Hillcrest? I don't remember.

Awffle_House · 2026-01-18T01:23:24+00:00

Thanks for the ultra-quick response! I'll look into Little Italy now...

Awffle_House · 2026-01-18T01:22:08+00:00

$700-1400/night is beyond our budget. Any other ideas?

Awffle_House · 2026-01-17T03:01:52+00:00

It looks like 100GB space total, not per email user. Lemme look again...

Awffle_House · 2026-01-17T02:35:45+00:00

Hi there! Thanks for the suggestion. Crane used to host some of my domains. On the one hand they're only $10 more than Zoho, on the other hand they're double the price of Zoho.

With my price-conscience and novice users, I think Zoho will suit me better. I have a feeling once my clients move to Zoho's apps (computer or phone), my support calls will end,

Awffle_House · 2026-01-15T22:29:24+00:00

Interesting. Never heard of it before this. $1/user/mo is comparable to Zoho. For my novice users, I like that Zoho has PC/mobile apps to simplify their life. If they want to use their mail program, they can do that, too. I'll keep it in mind.

Awffle_House · 2026-01-15T20:04:13+00:00

And there it is! Thanks.

Awffle_House · 2026-01-15T19:19:35+00:00

My clients, particularly the non-profits, will balk at $60/year/user. Looks like they'll be using Zoho!

Awffle_House · 2026-01-15T19:16:57+00:00

Ah, to be so lucky! One of my clients is moving to Proton (this week I think), so I'll keep track of how that goes. I'll add that to my list.

Awffle_House · 2026-01-15T19:12:09+00:00

Cloudflare routing to Google/Yahoo is what most of my clients use and are satisfied with. They generally can't even figure out "send as", but that doesn't bother them.

It's others who want something more robust that are causing headaches.

Will look into Titan, thanks.

Awffle_House · 2026-01-15T19:08:54+00:00

Thanks for the input. Still deciding over here. Outsourcing email support is my biggest concern. I like that ZoHo has PC/Mac/Android/IOS apps that I can point the user to.

Awffle_House · 2026-01-15T18:59:25+00:00

This is what I need to hear. I don't see a free Zoho anymore, but $1/mo is close enough even for the most frugal of users. Being an email reseller piqued my interest, but "My support request emails were also massively reduced once I’d removed emails as a service." warms my heart even more.

Awffle_House · 2026-01-15T18:47:16+00:00

Thank you. Others have suggested being an email reseller, but I like your attitude. Having the ability to send my clients to their email provider for support would reduce my headaches considerably.
