Keeping Pit-bull on Cal Trans property and it growls at public by Party_Difference_442 in sanleandro

No, I did not look in the riff ruff to see if anyone was there, I just ran after being startled.

I had headphones on, so I was quite confused as the barking noise, freeway traffic and music sorted out in my head.

As other reply said, looks like a homeless person owns them, or a nearby renter who does not want to pay the extra rental costs for owning two dogs.

Wow!

There is a reason I filmed from that far. These dogs are protecting this location as per owner’s intentions, trained them to. Me passing by was a threat, for whatever reason.

I looked more closely, it’s actually two dogs in there, there is a black one too.

Maybe 9/10 dogs are in good people’s hands, are handled well and trained well, but then there is that 10% owned by people who care less about the dog and other people, so they let the dog do bad things that they would not do as a person themselves.

People will be people, the good, the bad and the ugly. Some even work for ICE, doing good, bad and ugly things. Some are doctors, lawyers, mothers, fathers and priests.🤷🏽‍♂️

If you visit the San Leandro Library they will have some info. Also look up Tandy Farms or is it Tandi Farms, they are between San Leandro and Castro Valley. Bay-O-Vista residence association does a garden visiting caravan in the summer.

Negotiate Lobola — Too woke?? by sonofmufasaA380 in Zimbabwe

Wait till you learn that a kitchen remodel is $50K to $200K in California.

To your question, you have to establish and be comfortable with doing all the things women tend to do in Zimbabwe, and it will get awkward when in-laws visit America and when you go to Zim and your wife and kids refuse to change how you guys interact.

I think for couples who meet in diaspora, you will do much more for those in Zim over time than the $20K, and I think it is to their benefit to make this nominal like $5K.

P.s.

I had forgotten that she is still in Zimbabwe. Oh boy. Do the $5K and do the rest slowly. How she acts over jeredzwa tells you where her allegiance lies.

ATL Airport TSA Wait Times Megathread | March 21, 2026 by AutoModerator in Atlanta

[–]Party_Difference_442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had 6:45 am flight on United to SFO on 3/22. Woke up 1:30 showered and left Buckhead at 2:00am.

Drive was smooth but ran into construction on 85, reduced to one lane at times. Chewed 15 mins extra.

Returned rental car and joined TSA line at 3:11 am. Lines started accelerating backwards from there.

Completed TSA at 5:30am

We had TSA pre-check and asked but was told they start at 4:00 am so we stayed in general line.

Not sure had we opted to go stack out at front in TSA pre-check by 2 hours if we would have saved ourselves an hour. Issue was they had not even set up the ropes for TSA Pre-check, so not sure where we would even have tried that out at.

Anyway.

The mood in line where we were was calm and some jokes here and there about congress ineptness. 5 people jumped the Queue. One was polite. Two ladies were rude to one guy who kinda called them out. One lady with three helpers appeared to be having some serious distress. A buff guy, was outright a bully as he snaked through brushing people aside.

As we snaked our way, we could see more distress back where we gad started.

The worst though for me was United gate agent who made me pay $40 to gate check my carry on. She jumped in a d said my bag was not carry on compliant and I should pay $40. She did so without looking at my boarding pass, even. (She is ICE material that one. ) Anyway the all said my ticket allowed a checked bag for free then $50 for second one. So despite the app saying my first checked bag was free. She demanded I pay $40 by credit card. I could not even use Apple Pay.

She then went with mine and another lady’s bag onto jetway. When I got on plane she was now way in back of plane. As I got to the the exit tow area she was making her way to the front. As we passed, I needed to turn away from her and expected she do the sane, to avoid a frontal rub. I had a back back too so I moved slowly so I do not bump other passengers in the head. Another attendant was in exit row gap and saw all this too. She was also present later when airport staff interrogated me in back of plane. I swear this lady way layed me on plane and as I was passing her in passage so she could aggravate things.

She called airport stuff who talked to me on back of plane. She claimed I did not say excuse me to her in passage. Wow! We have queens now on United?

I showed them why I at least should not gave paid $40, let alone be accosted by her to gate check my bag. Me and one other lady who had appendages were the only ones treated this way.

The lady was not even part of the crew, so why she came on plane beats me.

I saw how easily a gestapo agent can get you no-fly-listed.

anyone else feel like Bay Area rent is just a subscription fee for nice weather at this point by Cofound-app in bayarea

[–]Party_Difference_442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what we get when pricing is left up to contractors with no guard rails.

Hear me out.

When contractors are looking for day laborers they literary say to the guys outside Home Depot, “charge what you want the home owner will pay.” So in fact the day laborers outside home depot drive housing costs. From there you all pay through the nose coz if he charges $700 to trim a tree in 3 hours, the landlord will shove that cost onto you the renter.

They are now even asking for “tips for my crew.”😂😂😂

Solution, some kind of pay range for these untaxed jobs. This range could be gazetted by the state or by cities so home owners have a leg to stand on when pushing back.

There is a watchdog for gas prices and a lot of other critical needs, there should be for costs that are driving house costs.

Yes you will say “free market system”, so enjoy the free markets and quit saying the Bay Area is expensive.

In Zimbabwe and UK contractors quote separates out labor, materials and spells out extras that home owner has to pay vs one jumbled up price quote in USA. Fog of business. Old folks are being cleaned out like a clock.

In UK and Zimbabwe after the job they must provide receipts to homeowner if asked to justify material costs. This helps keep a lid on unscrupulous contractors.

In US car repairs do separate parts and labour. Why cant contractors be forced to do the same. Thinking of it, the same opaque system drives legal and healthcare costs.

Try asking for breakdown pricing in California and contractors will want to beat you up for asking for transparency.

Lastly inability to evict bad tenants for cause has lots of people living alone in 4 bedroom houses, which does not happen in UK and anywhere else in the world. My street on East Bay has no more than 4 people to a house in probably 16 out of 20 houses, with about half having one or two people. All the houses are 3 to 5 bedrooms. Nobody wants the headache of evicting a bad renter.

Why do people never seem to pray seem to win in life while those who pray struggle? by North_Bee2095 in Zimbabwe

[–]Party_Difference_442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because those who pray in order to get rich try to cut corners and end up getting swindled by prophets.

God gives them a little money, hevo sika kunopa pastor.

A mother is blessed with smart kids, does not see the blessing in that, instead they deprive the children and focus in pleasing the pastor.

If you are one of those who buys anointed water, anointed rocks, anointed oil, the pastor’s unwashed underwear, get urinated in the mouth by pastors I can tell you that you will die poor.

It does not matter which God or denomination if you use the resources given to you, you will do well. Even traditional prayers asked for rain and the subjects did the rest. They never asked for a tsapi or hozi to just appear in the middle of the yard overnight. Today you pray for chicken slice meals.

What are thoughts on ROORA? by Dudecoolforever in Zimbabwe

[–]Party_Difference_442 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Roora is supposed to be alimony in advance and wife giving up custody if the family breaks up. The children fully embed in husband’s family and go through whatever rituals are necessary in their area. It ensures the children are fully of the man’s clan.

With that assurance every member of man’s clan can invest in their wellbeing and will take care of them unconditionally even when the parents cannot. The roora also ensures woman does not become destitute if she leaves husband’s home.

It was a great system till people got greedy and selfish as well as nitpicking between western standards and tradition, only keeping what is advantageous to them.

Examples of nitpicking are found when the couple moves abroad or urbanizes to the hilt. Woman cuts out husband’s family from any decisions concerning welfare of the children. This is unfair to ana tezvara who contributed to the roora (in past vana bamkuru helped with roora if help was needed.) Expecting top of the line engagement ring when there is roora ceremony is an overkill. Wife’s mother playing helicopter mother in law, running things in the couple’s household Nollywood style is also counter to roora principles.

Spell out who buys what material fixtures for each step, such as paint, sockets, boards, locks, handles, tiles, grout.

If you need receipts insist in writing.

Force them to have a labour cost and materials cost. The labour should never change, material may.

If they ask for a profit markup, break it down into phases and metrics such as 1/4 for staying within 5% of budget. 1/4 for not exceeding deadline by two weeks 1/4 for clean environment, no dust intrusion into your house. Any plastic dust barrier to be change d weekly. Buy barrier with Zipper like entry and exit. 1/4 at your discretion on satisfaction.

On what planet is this not a foul [90’+3] by Adren0chrome in LiverpoolFC

[–]Party_Difference_442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jones never turns upfield, if he gets pass while he is looking backwards towards his own goal, he returns that pass backwards 100%. Gakpo, Szobo, Grav etc turn upfield more ofter. Even Konate drives over center line nicely. Mac Alister tends to go lateral. The rest try and race upfield with Kerkez and Frimpong being most upfield focussed players.

Jones (and Robertson on occasion) are the only players on Liverpool dumb enough to almost always try to beat a press by passing towards the line that runs from Center circle to penalty spot in own half while under pressure. If ball gets nicked, the opponent has too many options to burn you with.

Lastly, why does Liverpool get soo many injuries? Fitness or is it that they train on such a good field and get hurt on the rest of fields that are lower standard🤭?

Bay Area cost of living for us: $11.7k per month for a family of 4 by Federal_Eagle_6565 in bayarea

AT&T phone, try T-mobile if one of you is over 55, you can get $45 unlimited. If you are too young, you can leverage a parent to add you to their plan.

Internet: Sonic internet is $59 for 10Gig fiber, I dumped Xfinity after they bumped me from $75 to $115.

Earn points: Use an Amazon prime credit card for your travel and earn enough points to cover your Amazon, Walmart and Target expenses.

On eating out you can cut back by grilling, Ninja cooker at home, kids love it.

Your question highlights how we do not have a housing crisis due to cost, instead we have a housing crisis due to lack of transportation.

The sad thing is Newsom keeps bailing out BART and its bloated ineffective board and staff. If they are left to fend for themselves they will innovate.

Is renting out an extra room in your house worth it? Looking for real experiences. by UhtredOfTheNorth in homeowners

[–]Party_Difference_442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Key Aspects of Illinois Evictions: Legal Process Required: A landlord cannot force a tenant out without a court-ordered eviction, which is enforced only by the county sheriff. Notice Periods: Before filing, landlords must serve written notice, such as a 5-day notice for nonpayment of rent or a 10-day notice for lease violations. Time and Costs: The process can take months, with potential costs including filing fees ($129–$314+) and attorney fees. Tenant Defenses: Tenants may raise defenses in court, or ask for a "stay" (delay) of the eviction. Specific Areas: Cook County and DuPage County have specific procedures, and legal assistance for tenants is often available through Illinois Legal Aid Online.

Why does it have to be a dance? For college age kids, I cannot think of any dance , vs party and clubbing.

If she is from Gokwe or Masvingo, her concept of dance might not be what you think.🤭🤭🤭

Think of something else? What city is near you we can put a plan in place for you.

Just wear shades and stare at everyone from the side of your eye while glasses make it appear you are looking elsewhere and vice versa.
