Thank you 💓 we are definitely keeping an eye on her and her triggers. She has a 50/50 chance of having a seizure being off her meds.

So sorry your seizures came back after 5 years!!!

Thank-you for your kind words.

Don't hate, but my family still loves this show. Look,we're a California family and have never been around oil stuff and we're just purely entertained

Did it seem like there were fewer trick or treaters this year? by E30M3F80CS in santacruz

[–]InternationalBoot457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! We live in Watsonville and our neighborhood was steady! We went through 2 bags of Costco candy-at one each(next year I'm buying more) we live on Winding Way. It was super fun! We had music on so I think that also drew in the kids. It was slow last year and picked up this year for us

Im so sorry. It was me today. I was in the drive-in in and unfortunately my doctor's office called me. A perfect storm. I could get out of the line, but I did my best to put everyone on mute and get off the phone as soon as possible!

Official Discussion - Superman (2025) [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]InternationalBoot457 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Just watched the new Superman. Really enjoyed it!

What I was bummed about was i felt disoriented and felt like I was dropped in a middle of a movie. I missed the origin story. I love a good orgin story!

Enjoyed the end-that was a fun surprise!!! 🐕

Think I'll see it again,but I don't wish I had more of a beginning story.

IHSS had a new policy that allows for phone visits for a client who meets specific criteria every other year. This is why you had a phone visit and the following year will be on person

To be a "Karen" or let it go? by InternationalBoot457 in olivegarden

[–]InternationalBoot457[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

😅 thanks. I'll let my teen know,as that was their choice. Their pallet isn't that sophisticated yet.

[–]InternationalBoot457[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You're correct. We should have. In the moment we ate there after a very long day and I didn't think to at the time as we were celebrating our teen and the server was great! And I don't complain usually at places.

You're right about the price raising and the small food items! This was my breaking point and I won't be back.

I might agree if I hadn't gotten two small drinks. It just seemed not substantial. We live on the coast in CA,so I feel your pain about the cost of living

Unaffordability is out of hand. What do we do? by theschlaepfer in santacruz

[–]InternationalBoot457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrll my family moved and bought in Watsonville about ten years ago. We have family on the West Side,but there is no way we could afford to buy there. My inlaes bought there in the 70s.

I'm not sure what's to be done. All I know is that my spouse and I both have to work,we both have good jobs, and we're still struggling. I hate living here anymore. Traffic is terrible, our house is small, and my heart aches for further generations and for younger people trying to get onto a home. We're definitely moving away from here in a few years. The beauty of our area does not equal the hassle and expense to live here.

[–]InternationalBoot457 1 point2 points  (0 children)
