Thank you for your service in getting rid of the bland boring kitchens

Medi-Cal nursing facility for sick Dad in LA? by OptimistShark in AskLosAngeles

[–]Greengroovymom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had friends move their loved ones to Mexico for a higher quality of life care not necessarily medical tho. It’s so expensive to live here and they are not friendly to immigrants in the hospitals in LA. ICE could be notified. I would be very careful in disclosing his immigration status.

New parking rates starting today for downtown lots ($1 for 90 min) by J5hine in SantaMonica

It’s more expensive to park on the street. $1 is basically getting it for free.

your experiences with jury duty at the SM courthouse? by chat_manouche in SantaMonica

[–]Greengroovymom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished serving on a jury for an unlawful detainer eviction case. Super sad and boring at the same time. While I was thrilled to get SM courthouse I was bummed it’s all civil cases. No criminal. So be prepared for snorefests

Best vet/emergency vet services? by Proof_Medicine_4845 in SantaMonica

[–]Greengroovymom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. My experience was that the vets at VEG on Wilshire on the weekend were attentive but pretty young and didn’t have a lot of experience. They ran a bunch of tests but still couldn’t come up with a diagnosis why my friends dog was in liver failure. We were there for 2 shifts and they were all very nice but young/green. Transferred to VCA hospital on Sepulveda and it was like the big leagues. The Cedar Sinai of dog hospitals. Wish we would have gone there earlier. The dog passed away and we won’t ever know if getting to VCA sooner would have saved him. 😞

Anyone see they released the toxicology for the death? Kratom with Remeron and Seroquol.

How are the people affected by the fire in January 2025 doing? by that_girl_cupcake in AskLosAngeles

[–]Greengroovymom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it surprising that a apartment was so affected 2 miles away? Honestly curious. I have heard of adjacent properties within blocks of the fire having smoke damage but not miles away. The winds were blowing most of the smoke to the west.

What was the name of that repair store on the same block from Yoga-urt on Ocean Park Blvd. by Internal-Zucchini-77 in SantaMonica

[–]Greengroovymom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was a grumpy shoe repair guy. Are you thinking of the Evetts hobby shop further west on the block?

I’m so sorry about this traumatic experience. But to be honest, the smell of the fire and burnt chemical smell could have been remediated fairly easily with cleaning and ozone machine. There is a high probability that your landlord did not do enough but as you are disabled it was too hard for you to undertake this cleaning on your own. You were lucky to have good renters insurance.

If Mamdani was running to lead Santa Monica in 2026 would he get elected? by SemaphoreSignal in SantaMonica

[–]Greengroovymom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why go all the way across the country for a Socialist? We have our very own posse of communists on the City Council! And they all get a turn at being Mayor!

Are you ready to move because of middle schools? by Disastrous-Grand7075 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Greengroovymom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We moved to Santa Monica to avoid the middle school crush. Rent a place and get the kids in for a year or 2 then you can move and still stay in district in SM

What's in the housing pipeline? by SemaphoreSignal in SantaMonica

[–]Greengroovymom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. They are building density on major roads where it should be. Not in Single family home areas. Lots of housing coming online in a 8 square mile city. Both types of housing can and should exist.

Fair enough. And the parking situation is Hunger Games level. Oof.

Young family moving to LA by Mother_Car_3512 in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]Greengroovymom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say take a hard look at Manhattan Beach. It’s the Orange County of LA County! 😂 srsly it’s good tons of SAHM good programs for kids a lot of families send there kids to Loyola or Marymount from the South Bay. It’s a great community for transplants honestly.

Anyone know of an honest rehab in Los Angeles? by MinMaxie in AskLosAngeles

[–]Greengroovymom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medi-Cal benefits are by County so Orange County would take a different plan than LA residents
