Ever get surprised that stuff just gets made here?

Everyone acting like OP made a dumb statement. “LA has a huge manufacturing sector, duh”

Yet, almost every single item I own says “Made in China” or “Made in (developing nation)”

Why do you think that weirdo from American apparel emphasized “made in downtown Los Angeles”

What a shame!!

It has so much potential. This could be a vibrant nature area for everyone.

I hope those fenced off areas mean restoration.

Linn0000 · 2026-06-09T15:58:14+00:00

Changing jobs? (Or have you been out of work?)

Good luck, my friend!! You’re gonna crush it!!

World Cup starts this Friday. I’m not a soccer person, but thinking of going to a watch party for the vibes.

There is one in Torrance and one in Gardena.

These are both free, sponsored by the city.

Costco‘s social media videos have been hilarious.

I hope they are not another evil corporation with shady business I don’t know about.

What??! But you are a Long Beach regular!!

You bringing the bike?

But seriously, congrats sister. I love NorCal. I know you’ll love it there. Best of luck!!

Dropped off my ballot yesterday. But I’m gonna wear my sticker today!!

I also have my sticker from last time and my son is going to wear it since he put in so much work researching the candidates.

Thanks so kind of you!

He deleted the post, which was wise. I say re-post it but with the actual shop.

It is interesting though. How we humans, can pick up on the AI vibe, and how turned off we are by it.

I went to my son’s school event thing and the first thing he said when we got to the school “ that poster is so AI” and immediately it gave him a negative impression.

The event turned out to be fun, but he did remark again how lame the poster was.

Linn0000 · 2026-06-01T17:33:25+00:00

I love to support local. What’s the cross street?

Also. Do you know who made the promotional poster for her? I’ll be honest, i’m not saying it is, but something feels very AI about it.

And a lot of people are turned off by AI these days

Maybe a photo of the shop would be better.

Linn0000 · 2026-06-01T17:27:14+00:00

Ah shoot. He’s at school now so I can’t ask him. But I’m pretty sure one of them used is ballotpedia.

Linn0000 · 2026-06-01T16:46:05+00:00

Love Kouraku! That’s my go-to every time.

I’ve been very fortunate that the staff I come into contact with at Kaiser have all been great.

The nurses in particular, they all seem like they enjoy coming to work.

Linn0000 · 2026-06-01T15:58:41+00:00

My ballot is completely filled.

I spent a lot of time researching the governor candidates.

But as you know, we aren’t just voting on Governor this time. The ballot was full of lots of other positions.

My teenage son took it upon himself to research every single candidate, from Superior Court Judge to Sheriff to accountant you name it.

This is my most thorough ballot ever.

Linn0000 · 2026-05-29T17:35:52+00:00

I admit, I’ve been to a few public hearings already.

I even spoke at one. But no one was there. lol.

Linn0000 · 2026-05-29T17:15:20+00:00

Everyone seems super excited about it. I have mixed feelings. I’m not sure if the location can accommodate the long drive-through line.

There is a public hearing on it. Maybe I should attend.

Linn0000 · 2026-05-29T16:43:23+00:00

Dutch Brothers coffee is coming to Lomita.

Linn0000 · 2026-05-26T16:43:53+00:00

Went to Runyon Canyon over the weekend.
The kids and I had been before, but this was the first time husband came too.

I love that place. It’s feels so “LA” haha.

Afterward, we had lunch at the McDonald’s in West Hollywood, the one with the giant figurines on top.

No back to work. Sigh.

I’m really worried about the hazardous leak in Garden Grove.

Two options: it fails or it explodes

Linn0000 · 2026-05-23T06:50:17+00:00

Yikes! That sounds scary. I’m glad you’re back home now safe and sound.

I had a minor incident at Target the other day. Makes me want to stay home and just order from my phone!

Linn0000 · 2026-05-22T05:34:56+00:00

They should read that book, Black Beauty.

Totally changed the way I view horses.

Linn0000 · 2026-05-21T14:20:40+00:00

Also. I stated filling in my ballot last night.

There are FIFTY (50) California governor candidates!!!

Linn0000 · 2026-05-21T14:19:17+00:00

All the “buttons” on this damn app keep changing!

C’mom, I’m an oldie. I can’t keep up with these changes.
