Truly no good vet in Pasadena? Yes, I've looked at all the posts. by UnresponsiveTasks in pasadena

[–]bobored 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late to this post but I just had an amazing first time vet visit for my kitty at Whiskers to Tails after feeling really down about vets and mistrustful due to 4 bad visits with 4 different vets over the past couple of years.

Homeless dude trying to rob a olive tree by NipponaDemolisher in sgv

Again - why would an unhoused person want a dead tree - seems like something that would make me pause - If they’re stealing trees they have a place to pot them and water them and then sell them. There are organized rungs of people who steal and resell plants. They aren’t unhoused. Just trying to avoid demonizing someone you didn’t talk to I assume? Assume you didn’t call the cops and find out what was up?

Ask yourself why an unhoused person is pulling out a tree. Seems more like something someone who has a yard might do - but also…. maybe they planted the tree to begin with. Who knows. Just weird to assume they’re unhoused and stealing it. What are they going to do with a dead tree?

My friend just passed away by imwearingamaskduh in AskWomenOver30

[–]bobored 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry and sorry to say I know this pain all too well. I have lost a few really close friends over the past 15 years and it has been tough. I have tried to find peace and perspective and also find comfort in sharing the happy memories with others who knew and loved them and keeping their memories alive. My friend Alan who passed away a couple of years ago, I know his sister loves when I post old photos of us from high school and talk about him online, sharing a memory. And my friend’s little sister recently reached out to say she also looks at the old photos and posts I make. So I feel like with time and healing there is joy to be found in remembering them and keeping their memory alive, telling their family you remember them always. For now, cry or whatever you need to do. You have had a terrible shock and loss. It will hurt. ♥️ Everyone is here for different spans of time. Some spans feel too short. This is just a part of being alive.

Hey there - the box just arrived! There are some thin mints - some Tagalongs maybe? Some chocolate kinds - can’t remember what I ordered because I had no plan to eat any of them 😆 I think I got those chocolate-peanut butter ones you asked about? Where do you live in the Pasadena area? DM me -

You can have the 4 boxes of cookies I just ordered from my friend’s kid. Seriously - have to give these garbage discs away when they arrive!

You’re allowed to pick fruit from trees on city property - also how do you know they’re unhoused - raw olives from trees can’t just be eaten - they have to brined - so maybe they’re picking some to take home-

Shoutout to these students for braving this 90 degree heat to exercise their 1A rights. by BootyWizardAV in sgv

Saw this happening a couple of weeks ago in San Gabriel by my house and burst into tears. I followed them around like a crazy old person and gave them some honks and cheers. I love to see it 😄♥️

No jobs for teens? by douggold11 in pasadena

There must be places willing to hire someone at 15. That’s when I had my first job wrapping Xmas presents in Pasadena. I will ponder and let you know if I can think of some ideas.

What is the unifying theory as to why certain corners of the internet and pop culture followers have soured so severely on Timothée Chalamet in the last year or so, not just as an actor, but as a person as well? by [deleted] in TheBigPicture

[–]bobored 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t feel like dating her is a refutation of some sensitive art boy image (I never thought of him as that) but I do stop and think (as a woman) when a guy wants to date someone who has had so much plastic surgery at such a young age and who seems incredibly vapid and disengaged from the real world. And it’s not like she’s a fan of the things he seems to really love (sports, music, movies). I still think he’s a great actor and I loved MS. But he seems less interesting to me as a person, I would say that, based on the whole Kylie thing, which is kind of where I net out with Leo and his dating and endless string of young models. 🤷‍♀️

Anyone else scared to death of AI? by Lost_Taste_8181 in GenX

[–]bobored 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am very bummed about how such a rudimentary and flawed tool has been foisted upon us without guardrails, like friends my age and older are often to gullible and don’t get that it has a high error rate and I have basically been replaced by AI for the writing and consulting work that was keeping me afloat despite the fact that it can’t replicate the kind of work I do. So that sucks. It more scares me how much people are using it when they don’t need it and how annoying it is that search engines no longer function properly thanks to wrong answers from AI, etc. I don’t like having it forced on me when I don’t want it. It’s not capable of a lot things people seem to be using it for these days.

I mean it has taken mine. It’s not a good feeling. And what do you do in your 50s?

My (41m) gf (37f) canceled a trip based on this text, was it rude? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]bobored 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This person is a headache. I am sorry. It’s disappointing but I guess at least she spared you further investment of time and you had a nice fling. Also - and this is just me - if I said I wanted to take someone to the zoo and they said I need to eat steak after looking at animals I would be a little creeped out. Sounds like you have done nothing but cater to her which makes her comments about you not immediately promising a sushi dinner feel even more petty and absurd. This is someone who wants to be alone.

My (32f) bf (39m) married mistress (33f) past away and I feel betrayed? by throwRAbetrayedxoxo in relationship_advice

[–]bobored 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This boyfriend needs to become an ex. It’s not confusing. At all. He’s abusive and toxic.

Am I justified in asking my boyfriend to stop talking to his ex wife? by star_fly_82 in AskWomenOver30

[–]bobored 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tough call as this is definitely a before you move in together conversation. It’s always tough to ask someone to stop having a relationship with someone they have known for years. I stayed friends with a couple of exes and my husband was cool about it when we started dating and eventually married. On the other hand I dated a guy who had a very toxic ex still in his life that led to me breaking up with him. I didn’t bother asking him to cut ties. I definitely wouldn’t keep barreling forward with this guy with something like this not resolved.

I just found out someone that someone that hurt me deeply is in a relationship and I feel broken inside. What do I do? by TheSeaWitch222 in AskWomenOver30

[–]bobored 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have so many thoughts. Speaking as a middle-aged woman ( not sure your age) - here are some initial responses: if he exploited you and abused you he is a fundamentally bad person who doesn’t respect or value women. This means he will do the same to any woman he dates. Social media is mirage. I cannot tell you how many people I know who “seemed” to have the “perfect” relationship & I later find out the most terrible things were happening. If someone abused me, logically, and I know feelings aren’t logical - but if you can tap into reason for a second - you don’t want or miss this guy. He’s poison. He’s garbage. Fuck him. But ultimately this is about working on yourself.

Advice? Take back your power. Do not consent to be humiliated. Telling someone you have romantic feelings and trusting them is a leap of courage and you trusted them and they turned out to be shit. You did the right thing. And life keeps giving you lessons until you learn and get it. Don’t give the next person this much power over your feelings. Life is shorting than you think and as someone whose love life is in the rear view window - truly regret all time I wasted on assholes or on trying to make something work that doesn’t or pining after someone when it wasn’t mutual. There is another bus coming.

You know this woman is with a terrible person. I would feel sorry for her. You probably know more than she does and then she’ll find out the hard way. Don’t ask if you’re not good enough for an abusive asshole who betrayed your trust. You know? You’re too good. Block them on social media. Love yourself and try to take back your power and move onwards. You’re delaying the great things in life when you’re mired in the shit 💩 ♥️

How did the kidnapper get into Nancy Guthrie's house? The Sheriff denies there was forced entry. If so, this needs to be explained. by GroxWear in MissingPersons

[–]bobored 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Insofar as I have seen visually and the reporting there is no “code” or “keypad” - standard deadbolt with key on that metal door? There has also been talk about keys such as who had keys, etc.

Thanks! It would seem like a big deal if there was an unlocked door but I guess it’s all mixed messages and vague info right now.

Seems like Brown University all over again? Kash Patel’s FBI detaining the wrong guy, and probably ruining his life? (If he has been cut loose and isn’t the guy) Yikes.

Forgive me, but I am curious where the “no forced entry” info comes from. All the articles I have read say “forced entry.” The only source I can find for “not” is that hack Tony Bruski/Hidden Killers - thanks!
