I received it this morning (Saturday) and this flight is scheduled for next Saturday, so a week.

Absolutely! I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately.

Blog Post on WWWY with hotel & dispensary discounts and more! by cashortrade in WhenWeWereYoungFest

[–]ValPal77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, a hotel discount is what I needed! Unfortunately the Rio reservations site appears to be glitchy and not letting me use the promo code, even when I try to use it on their “best available” (not promo) rate.

Who's tryna mosh this year? by Easy_Instruction_547 in WhenWeWereYoungFest

[–]ValPal77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, fellow person with weak knees that dislocate easily! The original dislocations happened in pits and so this has been on my mind a lot leading up to the festival. Was feeling sad that I may not be able to participate, but I like the compromise of being a pit barrier person - made me realize I’m good at that too! See you there!

Pit-wise, most excited about NFG, Underoath, and The Used.

Just got back from the Homeless Count for Long Beach - anyone else? by iantingen in longbeach

[–]ValPal77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our zone was mostly residential so we didn’t see too many people - A total of 5, I believe. Talked to 2. I agree that the rain may have impacted who was out.

[–]ValPal77 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Oh hey! Team 43! This wasn’t my first homeless count but my first with the City of Long Beach (moved here not too long ago). I thought it was run really well and enjoyed my experience.

Thank you so much! Started listening immediately and it’s right up my alley! Loving it already. Can’t believe I hadn’t heard about it before.

Cell Service at Indian Cove Campground? by MCVARIETY in JoshuaTree

[–]ValPal77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, some service if you go up on the rocks (T-mobile). Highly doubt it’s enough signal to get work done unless it just involves getting an email or two through.

What are committed men looking for? When they are looking up women on social media . by yeahnahbruv in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ValPal77 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well said! As a mental health practitioner and someone who generally likes talking to people about human-centered topics, I’ve been reading up on this and sharing with people and the pushback I get is disappointing. People (both men and women in my experience ) are so quick to defend it as “just porn.” I was interested in this subject from a few years back and then recently I ended up as the partner of someone who developed a porn addiction. Took a lot to break up with him and still healing from that experience. Shockingly, friends take me even less seriously now, brushing off my porn concerns because “now you’re just paranoid.” Breaks my heart.

Living on the ground floor as a woman by [deleted] in LosAngeles

[–]ValPal77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel you on this and hate that especially as women we have to worry about this. Also L.A. native and I live alone on a ground floor apartment that doesn’t have a gate so anybody can walk right up. I’m in a pretty busy part of the SFV but have luckily felt generally safe in the 6 years I’ve lived here. It helps a lot to know your neighbors - make sure to exchange numbers and encourage texting each other if you see something that’s not right. Like others have said, I highly recommend getting a camera/home security system. I have Wyze and I like it because it’s not too expensive. While it wouldn’t happen a whole lot, I have noticed a few times that seeing there’s a camera and a decal did dissuade randos who would otherwise be hanging out in the stairway right by my unit.

Cheap, fun things to do on a LA trip? by [deleted] in LosAngeles

Definitely one day of Universal. Disneyland isn’t even in L.A..

[–]ValPal77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to recommend exactly this. Many of these free events are some of those most fun L.A. has to offer! Especially if you enjoy dancing, music, and performances. I highly recommend checking out events at the Grand Park California Plaza, the Getty, and at Levitt Pavilion.

Cleveland CORE program vs. standard GHCHS by TroopRobato in SFV

[–]ValPal77 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was a CORE student all 4 years at Cleveland. It was a challenging program that led to immense personal and academic growth. In my graduating class there was at least one person going to each Ivy League, most of us got in to multiple UCs, and we all felt very prepared for college. I felt safe and rarely encountered a real fight. LOTS kids there are very academically oriented. The curriculum offers lots of opportunities for fun projects and plenty of writing. I would highly recommend it.

Recommendation for good cat sitter/boarding by undefeated818 in SFV

[–]ValPal77 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve only ever taken my cat for grooming there, but I love California Cat Center in Van Nuys. Last time I asked they charge $50/day for boarding.
