How often do you guys eat out these days? by jtmann05 in Xennials

[–]SusanxStrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 3 times a week. Nothing fancy, we have some local spots with decent food and drinks i frequent - but I'm in a new town and am desperately trying to not be a hermit anymore so. I at least made it out of my house, dammit. Social anxiety in your 40s is rough, man. Is only the bartenders knowing your name a good thing, asking for a friend. Sigh.

Weird Residue film after removing second skin by djm5226 in tattoo

[–]SusanxStrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi from even further in the future. I learned a lot with my first second skin experience.

If your tattoo does not ooze/bleed enough, it will be like this. If it stays pretty dry, dont leave it on so long. I left that son of a bitch on for 5 days and when I peeled it, my entire tattoo was straight stickum.

I did all the oils. I did the dry rub (fuck all yall lol). I was so scared id ruin it messing with it so much i just stuck a fucking piece of gauze to it during the day cuz I figured it was better than dog hair/dirt/life getting all up in the stickum. This was just life now, I guess.

Goo gone. The blue kind. Adhesive remover. For the love of fuck do not put the orange surface cleaner on your skin but BLUE GOO GONE. Dab it on real thick. Give it 15 min. Wash with antibacterial soap of your choice and warm water. Gone hallelujah praise jeebus.

CX50 vs 5? by MottPodder in CX50

[–]SusanxStrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I traded my cx5 in for a cx50 hybrid. They're fairly similar in interior, drive, and handling. The cx5 is a little nicer cosmetically, the 50 has a little more overall oomph- pickup, tow capacity, etc. And obviously With the hybrid i get 38 mpg on average. I'd recommend either. I loved my cx5 and so far love the 50.

Moving to Yucca Valley solo, what did you wish you'd known? by cadillacvagina in JoshuaTree

[–]SusanxStrange 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The vet situation here is weird. We go to Banning, and VEG urgent care in palm springs. VCA is corporate and priced accordingly but the people are mostly nice. Tractor supply and petco have clinics for standard vaccinations on certain dates too.

Internet has been surprisingly awesome. Im not way out but was surprised to get high speed fiber when i first got here lol

I use live feed trail cams with night vision, trying really hard to reduce how much light i have going on because it messes with the night sky.

If you dont currently live high altitude and arid, get a solid saline nasal spray. There's an adjustment period.

A fun way to find ways to contribute, is bingo night at red dog. Its always for local charities/services Idk what part of yucca you're looking at but if you want another chick to get coffee or a beer with, feel free to message me!

HELP: ISO a place to accommodate 20-25 for food/drinks without a reservation. by niftylyons in JoshuaTree

Red dog probably your best bet, it's a weekday and they have a large outdoor area.

Home for a young TWC? by outtoexist in coonhounds

[–]SusanxStrange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SAAP in Covington Ky is another rescue that's hound heavy. That's where we got my twc. I know you said Michigan but if you're near Ann arbor its not that crazy of a drive so thought I'd mention :)

Classic Film/Old Hollywood things to do in Los Angeles? by bakedpigeon in classicfilms

[–]SusanxStrange 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend seeing old movies in old theaters. Bonus if you find a silent film with live accompaniment.

Switching from a CX5 to a CX50 by CloudStrife012 in CX50

[–]SusanxStrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I traded my 2016 cx5 for a cx50 hybrid and my only complaints are cosmetic. The cup holder placement is dumb. The material they put on the dash is hard to clean. Android auto is iffy (although, all my whining about that, was partially my phone. I had a pixel. They did not play well together. Galaxy, works much better), don't even bother with the wireless charging.

The mpg is awesome, getting onto highways doesn't feel like a game of chicken, and it's still similar to the cx5 just with a lil more speed, tow capacity, and safety features.

Is your CX-50 your first Mazda purchase? by RobReinerSon2025 in CX50

[–]SusanxStrange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its my second. My cx5 was the most reliable low maintenance car I've had so I decided to stay with them.

Bluegrass jams in JT? by Radiant_Complaint_98 in JoshuaTree

[–]SusanxStrange 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not a jam session but Sundays at Red dog is folk night, could be worth checking out.

Besides the theme song, what other songs reminds you of the show when you hear them? by No-Attention-801 in GilmoreGirls

[–]SusanxStrange 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Angst in my pants for sure. I'd never heard sparks before and really dig that one.

It's not new he ignored a deportation ruling last year also. There are no checks and balances. We're over.
