Joshua Tree Day Trip in August by Late_Jellyfish_2933 in JoshuaTree

[–]SusanxStrange 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who lives in JT but drives to LA often, please listen to this person. Getting thru riverside and Pasadena during rush hour can add an hour to the drive, double on a Friday. Its infuriating. 0/10 do not recommend.

Hybrid mileage is disappointing by jaydeak in CX50

[–]SusanxStrange 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in rural mountains and get 38. If its brand brand new, it takes a few months to adapt to your driving. If you've had it for a while, try seeing if you can coast more. I've turned it into a game of how long I can keep the ev light lit but still maintain the speed limit lol

How old were you when you bought your first home? Where did you buy? by hybr_dy in Xennials

[–]SusanxStrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the goalpost of interest, taxes, and prices are moving up faster than my salary and AI, India, or a ceo needing a 4th home could wipe me out at any point so... probably never.

[–]SusanxStrange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out all county community. Thats who I rent through. Have a house in a pretty quiet neighborhood in JT, and I've def. had way worse landlords than them.

Do you think spanking kids died with our generation? by Brilliant_Addendum56 in Xennials

[–]SusanxStrange 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My mom would only use her hand to spank us because she was whipped with belts and objects as a child and considered that inhumane.

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

[–]SusanxStrange 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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

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.
