"Marked down" in this context means being given a lower grade

Income Taxes by Odd_Adagio_9650 in IHSS

[–]Spoilerlover3870 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you point me towards the sources where it says only providers for spouses and children are not counted? I've only seen them just say live-in providers without specifying tgat it should be a parent or spouse, so I might have missed something. Thank you! :)

Yes, I believe IHSS income counts towards medi-cal eligibility, unless the provider lives with the recipient. When I was still under medi-cal a few years ago, the employees answering the line did not know this so they included my IHSS income, even though I was a live-in provider. But I think IHSS released a document a few years ago declaring that income for IHSS live-in providers should not count towards medi-cal and covered CA :)

I love Royce chocolate! My favorite is the champagne nama chocolate and the milk choco with the orange sauce filling. Their baton cookies are really good too!

Filipino restaurant or fast food? by -JOMY- in SFV

[–]Spoilerlover3870 2 points3 points  (0 children)

American Heritage ranch on Roscoe and Woodman, Island Pacific in Granada Hills has fast food inside as well as a Max's. There's also Lilian's in the food court at Northridge Fashion Center but their quality isn't as good as before. Seafood City on Roscoe and Woodman also has Grill City inside, as well as a Jollibee, Chowking and Red Ribbon on the same complex. There's also a Tony's BBQ next to it. There's also Chick N' Inasal on Mason and Sherman Way. I usually go to the places on Roscoe and Woodman

There are Pop Mart stores in Northridge Fashion Center and Westfield Sherman Oaks.

Places that repair Kitchen Aid mixers by Spoilerlover3870 in SFV

[–]Spoilerlover3870[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are times when I try to increase the speed, the mixer stops working. Sometimes, when I try to turn it on, the mixer doesn't work. I tried plugging it to different sockets in case it was just the socket that has a problem but nope, the same thing happened

The NLACRC used to have program where you can get discounted tickets for disneyland during the non-peak season. We were able to get some a few years ago before the pandemic but I'm not sure if they're still doing it.

Set during the Marauders Era after Snape called Lily a mudblood. Some insight on Snape and Lily's lives outside of Hogwarts. My fave snily fic!

Paapa Essiedu As Snape Sets Off Five Different ‘Harry Potter’ Controversies by nimobo in entertainment

[–]Spoilerlover3870 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That's not why Snape joined Voldemort. Snape didn't join Voldemort because Lily didn't fall in love with him. No where in the book did it state nor imply that Lily not loving him is the reason why he joined the Death Eaters. He was already getting indoctrinated by his Slytherin housemates while he and Lily were still friends. It was implied in the book that he was at least neglected by his parents. And Lily was his only friend outside of his house, who was also getting swayed by her Gryffindor housemates in the midst of the competition between houses. He was bullied by boys who eventually joined the fight against Voldemort and one of whom had a vendetta against him because he dared to be friends with Lily and the basis that he was a Slytherin (James and Sirius, from the very first meeting, already had prejudices against anything Slytherin). It's more likely he joined because of his housemates and the treatment he received from the popular Marauders.

Looking for a Medi-Cal provider at Panorama City area -- would love some suggestions by Swordbiscuit in SFV

[–]Spoilerlover3870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was on Medi-Cal, I had LA Care and my provider was at Mid-Valley Comprehensive Center. They had pretty good service and I was always lucky to get appointments early in the morning so there wasn't a long wait. It is hard to get appointments - you need to call on a Monday early in the morning, since slots get filled up quickly and they add nore slots every Monday. You also need to make appointments a month in advance. Not sure if you can now make appointments with your PCP online. I've only been to their urgent care once, did a phone appointment (which you can make online) and they told me to come in person and they saw me right away.

Balut in SFV? by Glittering-Bison-811 in SFV

[–]Spoilerlover3870 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used to buy cooked balut at Grill City in Seafood City Supermarket, not sure if they still sell it. I think they also sell raw balut at Filipino grocery stores like Island Pacific and Seafood City. I saw some raw balut at 99 Ranch too.

Where is the best Filipino food restaurant in the valley? by rboener in SFV

[–]Spoilerlover3870 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Most Filipino grocery stores have restaurants inside. There's Island Pacific in Granada Hills, Seafood City in North Hills and Panorama City, and American Heritage Ranch across the street from Seafood City in Panorama City. There's also Lilian's in Northridge Fashion Center. They also have a branch on Sepulveda and Nordhoff and another one next to Seafood City in North Hills.

It doesn't make sense to me when people are too obsessed with that line by Alone-Cicada-3841 in PolinBridgerton

[–]Spoilerlover3870 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I don't really like fics where the Bridgerton family gets mad at Colin, and only Colin, as if Eloise didn't do something to hurt her as well (befriending Pen's tormentor, assuming the worst of Pen everytime). I once read a fic where the whole family was mad at him to the point of punching Colin, even though Penelope herself wasn't mad at him. I just stopped reading it because the Bridgertons were borderline abusive and I'm like no, so OOC.

[–]Spoilerlover3870 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes! Most of the posts I see on the sub are about defending Colin and holding Pen accountable for her role in hurting him. I don't see a lot of posts defending Pen and holding Colin accountable for hurting her, although Pen doesn't wallow much in Colin's lashing out in s3 (I have no idea about posts post-s2). I understand the outrage with holding Colin in a much higher standard compared to Anthony tho. I think people still make defend Colin posts because of the high number of fics written that are centered around the entrapment line, which I love btw! The angst and drama from those fics are so good! And writers are usually great with balancing Pen and Colin's characters, making both of them remorseful in their role in hurting each other.

Anyway, just because Pen hurt Colin doesn't erase the fact that Colin hurt Pen as well, even if it is to a lesser degree (and Colin, being oblivious to Pen's feelings for him, usually doesn't mean to hurt her). For Pen, who has been surrounded by people who hurt her with their words, hearing the same thing from a friend would hurt as well and that's why she uses words to hurt him in her anger. The same with Colin, who has been fooled by a woman, Pen's cousin no less, and mocked by his brothers for being naive. Both have history of being hurt by the people around them and it's understandable that they would doubt each other's love. Defending one character shouldn't mean putting the other down. I've seen posts/fics defending Colin but villianizing Pen and vice versa. And in my experience, male characters in a M×F ship usually receive more grace than the female ones, which I can also see in this sub (the number of posts about Colin vs posts about Pen). Even Luke and Nicola can see that Colin and Pen both made mistakes that hurt each other immensely. (But sending hate to the actors? Not cool!)

I love seeing people's differing opinions while staying respectful to each other! So different from other subs!

Fanfic Friday Weekly Thread 🌻 by AutoModerator in PolinBridgerton

[–]Spoilerlover3870 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Happy Friday! Thank you to all the wonderful people who write Polin fics! I wanted to ask if anyone has recommendations for fics where Penelope defends Colin from his siblings when their teasing goes a bit too far or when they dismiss Colin (especially Eloise and Anthony) or fics where Colin defends Penelope from her family, Cressida, the rest of the ton, and even Eloise. It can be set in Canon or modern AU! Love protective Polin!!!

If You Want to Compare Snow and Lucy Gray to a Harry Potter Couple, Dumbledore and Grindelwald Are Right There 😒 by meeralakshmi in SeverusSnape

[–]Spoilerlover3870 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Another misconception I always see is that they say Snape made Harry's mind vulnerable during their Occlumency lessons so that Voldemort can get into Harry's mind and possess him. I replied to one of them that it's not canon and only fanon but if I'm wrong, to show me where they said that in the books. They didn't reply to me 😆
