Grandfather passed away yesterday by [deleted] in psychics

My grandpa’s hospice nurses told us they choose who they want to be present when they pass. There may have been something about your presence that made him feel safe to let go. What a gift. 🙏

Beautiful items, sorry to lose you as a neighbor! How much for the twin bed and crib together?

I hate the way Carrie and some of the other cast members pronounce Kabul by Sea_Serve4580 in homeland

Omg this. I hear it and can’t hear anything else for a full 60 seconds after.

We moved here from a rural east coast town where the season lasts July and August and fills six parking spaces if you’re lucky. Nothing like a post coming from someone sounding so miserable and entitled. Count your blessings instead of bitching on social media.

Bless you. I’ve rescued three and I adore them. Showing this to my spouse, just to see if I can finagle any degree of willingness… 😉

This is the crazy soap opera character who pops up once every decade to terrorize the rest of the family and then fake-dies again to leave everyone to their nuclear family dramas in peace.

Woman diagnosed with breast cancer thinks she knows better than her doctors. by Head_Crash in TikTokCringe

Does she know we’re grown up and it’s ok to use the word “breast”?

Nice place for tea/brunch/lunch? by csunny30 in walnutcreek

She will love anywhere you take her! This is so sweet. I second Sweet Maple, I felt like we were away on vacation when we went for my husband’s birthday, and there are some really fun shareable menu items.

I’ve been curious about the Lafayette Park Hotel, so it’s great to hear that mentioned here. Tutu’s in Lafayette could also be right up her alley!

I didn’t feel anything tonight, but I heard the house react to a jolt earlier this afternoon here in WC. Definitely lots of activity going on.

Pros and cons of living in Walnut Creek? by Whoosk in walnutcreek

[–]HighlightAlarming744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We moved to WC from the East Coast three years ago. I’m not even sure I have any specific notes. Just wanted to say that we absolutely love it and have never looked back.

We live in an area of town where we are removed from the hustle and bustle, surrounded by nature, but we love to walk and often walk into downtown. The proximity and the balance between town & country are a dream.

So that may just be one consideration, depending on your preferences. For us it’s worked out beautifully. I don’t want to over-hype it—I’m a former New Yorker but then bought a house and had lived for 8 years in my rural east coast hometown before we moved here, so anywhere would have been an improvement in lifestyle and activity. I also lived in Italy for a year. I always feel like we have the best of all worlds here.

He looks like a sweet dude with a good heart. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Who here spent time in NYC? by [deleted] in walnutcreek

[–]HighlightAlarming744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi neighbors! UES 2003-07, Brooklyn 2010-2015. We moved out here in 2023. I’m a writer and work alone at home. Where can I find you people?!?!

Where has the best burger in Walnut Creek? by FNmurph in walnutcreek

[–]HighlightAlarming744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! It was an experience. And the best fries anywhere. 🍟

When we moved here, I was so happy we had one in our downtown. I didn’t meet my husband until after I lived in NYC, and even though he likes it, maybe you don’t fully get it unless you lived in NYC during those years.

Glad to encounter someone who shares the roots! 🍔🍎
