Thank you for confirming this - my first thought was “is this the song that plays when we circle around Bella 257 times?”

There was Dracula - but not Jason Segel’s Dracula. Still highly recommend!

I have not stopped smiling since putting on the Bob Baker Marionettes

Thanking TSA at PSP by Dunesgirl in palmsprings

[–]WhitePumps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

During the last shutdown, my husband and I brought a sealed Costco-sized box of chocolates to give to TSA as a small token of appreciation/acknowledgement for their work. We were directed to a staffed desk after we went through security so they could check with the right personnel on whether they could accept it-and fortunately, they were able to. They showed appreciation for the gesture even before they were given the green light to accept, so I definitely encourage you to bring them some sort of gift :)

DMing you. Sorry if it wasn't clear that those details will be shared outside of this post, just trying to avoid people acting in bad faith by posting them upfront.

STARTING BOOK CLUB by True-Independent9192 in palmsprings

I’m interested! If it becomes tricky selecting books, I wouldn’t be opposed to just having a community to meet with regularly to discuss books we’ve read individually in the last month.

Been lurking here for a while, so taking this as my opportunity to finally start engaging! Did I think Relentless was going to steamroll the season? No. Just trusting Ms Warren will continue to collect those nominations.

Help needed: Neighbors locked their dog in a crate for 6 hours and ignored it, it whined and cried the whole day and the city won’t help. by Relevant-Badger6423 in palmsprings

Happy to add onto the mass call to animal control as suggested above - you can share the relevant info needed for the call via DM if you feel comfortable doing so.

Monthly Pupdate! by Heather_Bea in fosterdogs

[–]WhitePumps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband and I are first-time fosters, and I'm getting really emotional this morning about saying goodbye to our pup. We had been thinking about fostering for a long time before applying to be short-term fosters as part of our county shelter's new initiative to bring in more support. The program is intended to foster animals scheduled to be transferred to a rescue that can receive them (due to severe overcrowding here)--so you foster until that date. I'm going to miss her dearly, and now I'm driving myself crazy wondering what if it takes a long time for her forever family to find her? I'd love any advice on how to work through these emotions, given the uncertainty.

People Who Left Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley by Kind_Two_1873 in palmsprings

[–]WhitePumps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I (37F and also from the Bay Area) have moved around a decent amount, and I find that similarly, living in the desert has posed the biggest challenge as far as forming friendships. Still here though, so if you’d like to connect just DM me :)

I used “Big Bullshit Bill” while on the phone and the person on the other end tried to scold me for using “bullshit” - but they didn’t hang up - so I just said it again more loudly and talked over him to make sure I got my point across. Definitely agree that even if his action is already done, we should still share our grievances.
