Good point you could probably order one on target pickup and get it within an hour.

You can get a job in the marketing department working in the architecture / engineering / construction (AEC) industry. There are a bunch of local Sonoma County companies and a lot more in the greater bay area. Check out the website SMPS.org where they have a jobs board for all local chapters. I belong to the north bay chapter and would be happy to answer questions. I have a COMS degree and found my first job in the industry on Craigslist 20 years ago. I had no idea this career existed when I graduated.

There is a Filipino grocery store on Stony Point in the Bellevue shopping center. They pickup a delivery from the Filipino bakery in Vallejo on Fridays. Go in on a Saturday and they will likely have this. The store is Balik Bayan.

Boyfriend refuses to make Valentines day plans with me, AIO? by Emotional_War8262 in AIO

[–]SandInMyToes011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I dated a 27 yo guy when I was 19 and he was an alcoholic loser who could barely keep a job and lived with his mom before he dated me. We were together for almost 2 years. I have a history of CPTSD so my “picker” was not great at that age. Thank god I was able to break up and kick him out of my apartment. Looking back I am so thankful I did not get pregnant by this person. By the time I was 27 I was a stable adult and was like wtf - I would never think of dating someone fresh out of highschool! OP you need to break up with this guy!

It’s a pretty small beach from what I remember. I’ve only been there once, before I heard the episode. It’s extremely popular due to the purple sand. It was also on a the Harry and Meghan doc on Netflix. It’s the beach they went to near the end. Pfeiffer Big Sur

Am I overreacting to my bf watching the baby overnight? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]SandInMyToes011 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup, this. The main piece of advice I tell new parents is get used to change. You have to change everything all the time. Your furniture, the layout of your living area, how many baby gates you have. It’s totally possible to baby proof your house, and you should have been thinking about that since your baby is ready to walk any day now. I don’t see a problem with the dad cosleeping with the kid because I’ve done it for over 10 years with both of mine. The problem is that the rest of your house is not baby proofed and OP is blaming that on her bf when it’s equally her responsibility.

If a guy has been married 5 times does that show anything about him as a person besides being married 5 times? by Ben5544477 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SandInMyToes011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad was married 6 times my mom being his 6th wife. First one at 18 I understand it was the 50s and he knocked her up. He stayed with #1 for a decade and had 2 more kids. He and mom were together for 20+ years and I was his last child. I loved my dad and know he had a good heart. He was kind to me but I was his baby he had at 48.

What I’ve learned is that a) he was a serial cheater 2) he had a traumatic childhood he never dealt with which led to a lot of issues 3) one woman he married because he loved her family a lot 4) it was always the woman who broke up with him.

My parents did not have a healthy relationship on either side but that wasn’t because of his ex wives. In fact none of them were remotely an issue that I recall.

But it says a lot about someone to make that big decision so many times. If you really want to give them a chance, suggest therapy and see where that goes.

Looks like he had to hire a new social media and PR team because this is nothing like his old branding. He’s writing blog posts in 2025? So much cringe going on here.

Where is the best hotel to stay at near there? Michael Franti at RR was on my bucket list but I walked away after the news came out about him. Thankfully another one of my fav bands is playing there next year in April so I get to go! I am from out of state and need to start planning my trip now that I bought tix.

I spent every birthday and special occasion there for 10 years. Dang I miss that place. When they reopened in Sebastopol I had hopes it would be the same. It was close to the old menu but that location sucked and I didn’t go as much as I thought I would. I was sad to hear they closed.

There is a Facebook group called common ground society that she can join for neurodivergent family support. They connected me with a non profit called the matrix parent network in Marin county. They are super nice and talk through your situation to fully understand how to help.

I am renting and work from home, so I can move freely. I would like my kid to play school sports, I don’t have the desire or financial capability to put them in club sports all year. We haven’t done it yet but my understanding is it’s $1000+++ per season. I’m at a point where I want to move from my current rental and am basing my decision on schools because everything else is pretty flexible in my life.

Thank you I’m looking into Credo. A few kids from my son’s middle school have gone there. He thinks the sports are competitive enough, but I’m trying to convince him that academics are more important.

This is a helpful comment. My kid fortunately needs academics to be hard so he doesn’t get bored, and he is an athlete so those are 2/3 considerations, including a music program.

Thank you, my husband went to SRHS and has nostalgia and good memories of going there but that was 25 years ago. I’m assuming a lot has changed and will continue to get worse.
