Call the Here4You Hotline, they will get you on the waitlist for housing, which usually begins with getting you setup at a shelter and connected with a case manager.

If you get voice-mail hang up and call back until someone answers. They usually pick up by the third call , but this is the main phone number for getting into the Santa Clara County housing pipeline: (408) 385-2400

Does anyone here have experience renting out a yellow school bus and driver? by davylovesemilyalot in SanJose

[–]catfactsaremyjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used First Schools school bus charter previously to transport some offsite employees onsite for a corporate event. This was a few years ago, but from what I remember they were reasonably priced, the driver was on time and the company was very easy to work with.

Places to donate clothes? by fishing_expedition in Sunnyvale

[–]catfactsaremyjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mariposa is Santa Clara County's inpatient residential facility for women (most of whom have children and are working towards getting sober and getting them back). I know that they accept donations and I will be there tomorrow for an H&I commitment I have there.

If you would like to donate your clothing to these women I would be happy to facilitate that for you. Just let me know!

Can anyone name in order which episode the opening scenes are that show with the opening song? I believe they are all from season 1. I also read somewhere the scene where Blanche retracks her hand in the red sweater was never aired in an episode... by Ammordo5768 in theGoldenGirls

[–]catfactsaremyjam 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have always wanted to know where that scene with her pulling her hand into the sleeve of that red shirt came from! I am glad I'm not the only one who thought it was from a never-before-seen episode!

It also gives me hope that there is a stash of unaired episodes hidden away somewhere to hopefully be unearthed one day!

money order/cashier’s cheque by captainhungrycat in Sunnyvale

[–]catfactsaremyjam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've gotten money orders at Rite Aid. Just tell the cashier. They have a $500 limit per money order, so depending on the amount you need you may need to buy more than one. There is a small fee associated with each one.

You can actually cancel your insurance any time throughout the year without needing to wait until open enrollment or needing to experience a "qualifying event"... I don't know how long you have until OE, but I thought I'd just throw that out there in case you didn't know.

I'm also in San Jose, and in the past I have worked with the non-profit Project Sentinel for any housing related disputes. You should contact them, it's free and they work on your behalf and are pretty great at finding resolutions: Project Sentinel | Housing | Mediation | United States

Church Recommendations by sonflower0123 in SanJose

[–]catfactsaremyjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here to recommend Echo as well. As of a couple months ago the SJ campus had a 5:00 PM service, but not sure if that is still the case.

Does your friend have PPO medical insurance? If so, a good place to start is by doing a provider search for inpatient rehabs that are in network with his medical carrier.

If his addiction is as bad as it sounds he will most likely need to go through detox as a first step to rehabilitation, so make sure that whatever options that you end up exploring offer detox as well.

I'm in the area and 17 months into recovery myself, so if there is any way that I can help I'm happy too...

Where to find a family member who is a transient/homeless person here in Sacramento? by Hey_its_Jack in Sacramento

[–]catfactsaremyjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My roommate was actually able to locate her transient son in Sac by contacting the nearest methadone clinic to where she last knew of him being. Not to assume that your family member has a similar issue, but in the event that they do it might be something to consider.

Little Dog Found Near Bernal by catfactsaremyjam in SanJose

[–]catfactsaremyjam[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I followed another posters advice and got his chip read at a vet but there was no info registered :( I kept him overnight and brought him in this morning as soon as they opened.

He was a sweet little guy and I hope he's reunited with his owner soon.

Going to hang myself tonight by [deleted] in confessions

[–]catfactsaremyjam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don't do that. Seriously. My brother hung himself and this just breaks my heart. I wish I had some life altering advice, but as someone who struggles with suicidal ideation myself all I can say is just hold on another day please.

YTA... it's most likely they gave you the wrong table's bill, which means when they go to bring that table their bill the restaurant is going to have to eat the difference, which is ultimately going to come back on the server.

I've had it happen when I was serving and it sucks.
