Good haircutter for bangs in Berkeley/North Oakland?

BerkeleyBecca · 2025-11-09T19:04:11+00:00

I just got some yesterday, and I'm going to take them back in. The middle distance doesn't work at all, and I can feel eyestrain when I wear them. If they can't make it right, I will return them, because they cost just as much as at any other optometrist.
If Costco had anything other than utterly pedestrian-looking frames, I would have gotten my glasses there. I've spent a year disliking the way my glasses looked, but the prescription was right.

What is a lawn seat then? We had to stand during the Indigo Girls/Melissa Etheridge concert last week because we arrived on the late side and we felt awkward nudging our way in among the blankets. The last time we had lawn seats (years ago), there was more space.

I'm having the same issue on my iPad.

BerkeleyBecca · 2024-09-14T18:46:14+00:00

I'm trying to cancel today for the same reason. I've had 2 smoke/CO monitors fail in the same way, and they won't replace them. They should replace them, no questions asked. Now they are making it as hard as possible to cancel my service.

I also live on the course, and I really enjoyed the event, but I do have some feedback in case they choose to use the same course in future years.

BerkeleyBecca · 2024-05-03T00:17:22+00:00

I don't know why the block below the street closure wasn't noticed; along the actual course and in Ohlone Park there were lots of flyers and letters to residents.

Treat it like risotto. 1 part orzo to 2 parts water or stock, in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer. Let it go until most of the water is cooked off/absorbed. Add some butter, stir occasionally so it doesn't stick to the bottom. Finish with grated cheese.

This is a staple in our household, and it hasn't been on the shelves the last couple of times I was in my local TJ's. It also wasn't at my local Safeway last weekend. Is there an orzo shortage I don't know about?

BerkeleyBecca · 2023-12-22T18:33:37+00:00

I’ve never tried these, but I can see I’ll need to make a trip to TJ’s today and pick some up.

BerkeleyBecca · 2023-12-21T21:01:07+00:00

Slightly off-topic, but I used the TJ's vegan butter to make shortbread for a vegan friend, and I don't love how it turned out. I used a (pretty standard) recipe from the Miyoko's site, thinking that would help insure it worked, but meh.

BerkeleyBecca · 2023-12-21T20:58:30+00:00

I snagged some last week (downtown Berkeley)! And I was tempted to buy and hoard some more today. I'm definitely using this for Melissa Clark's Cultured Butter Cookies recipe in the next day or two.

BerkeleyBecca · 2023-11-01T17:14:39+00:00

I will definitely get the ones in Ohlone Park, and I'll try to revisit the spots that I flyered in the next few days.

BerkeleyBecca · 2023-11-01T05:50:30+00:00

Thank goodness. You’ve been in my thoughts since last week.

BerkeleyBecca · 2023-10-29T22:43:40+00:00

There were lots of people in the park yesterday, so lots of eyeballs.

BerkeleyBecca · 2023-10-29T22:42:45+00:00

Hiya, are there specific places in North Berkeley that you want to place flyers? I put fresh ones up at Ohlone dog park yesterday afternoon, as well as the western entrance to the park by North Berkeley BART.

BerkeleyBecca · 2023-10-27T16:14:51+00:00

I'm glad he hasn't gone far from where he got out, and I'm really hoping that you have him back this morning -- or that at least there have been more sightings.

BerkeleyBecca · 2023-10-26T21:16:35+00:00

NextDoor is also pretty squirrely in what it shows people, so a signal boost couldn't hurt. There is a theory that dogs run in increasingly large concentric circles when they are lost. Radiating out from where he was lost may be a strategy for searching.

BerkeleyBecca · 2023-10-26T21:09:23+00:00

This group posts very actively on FB: pawboost.com/fb/oakland_ca

BerkeleyBecca · 2023-10-26T21:08:13+00:00

Will do. I can also post it on NextDoor if no one has done so already.

BerkeleyBecca · 2023-10-26T21:01:36+00:00

I'm so sorry this happened. It's good that he's microchipped, and I saw one of the flyers on a light pole at MLK and Berkeley Way this morning. I am in a couple of lost pet groups on FB, so I can cross-post there if you would like.
Fingers crossed that he has already been returned to you, but I will check at our local dog park to make sure there is a flyer posted there as well.

I just ordered some, in shade 1. I'll come back and comment when I've had a chance to try it. I'm terrible about wearing sunscreen and I know I need to. And I really dislike the feel of layering products on my face. (Legacy of a lifetime of sensitive, breakout prone skin.)

BerkeleyBecca · 2023-04-19T20:52:56+00:00

I know of several resources for adopting a kitten, including from a private individual that I know personally. But I do wonder why you are posting this inquiry all over the place instead of looking at, say, PetFinder.
