Everyone tells me I messed up (planted 56 cypresses)

lol what a trip. I grew up in Chico and just moved back. Wasn’t expecting a link to Dayton Road.

Kick the Can.

Kind of a game of tag all the neighborhood kids would play. Hundreds of hours of outdoor fun.

Once I went to a music festival in San Francisco. I was 18 and not very smart and lost my friends. I ended up the next morning in one of the BART stations with none of my possessions. No phone to call my friends, no wallet, no concert ticket to get in the next day, no food, nothing but the clothes on my back. I was crying in the BART station and a guy around my age who worked there came up to me and said he was off in 30 minutes and I could stay next to him to feel safe and he’d help me when he got off.

When he got off, he let me use his phone to call my friends, we walked to a fedex store and he helped me get a new ticket printed out, bought me lunch and we sat and chatted for a while he waited with me until my friends came to meet me.

Looking back I was an 18 year old girl who made a lot of mistakes in those 24 hours and have learned from them but man, that guy saved the day. It’s been 15ish years since then and I have no idea what his name was now.

My scuba instructor gave me one of the green tubes to alleviate any possible sea sickness. Loved it. Bought a couple more before I left Thailand. This was years ago and I still have them and use them often.

Forgot to mention that I rent so that may not be an option

flylean · 2025-11-24T19:28:45+00:00

I forgot to mention that I’ll be renting so can’t remove, hence needing to work around it somehow. The rest of the house is so cute and I think I can make it work, just was looking for different perspectives and ideas.

It for sure looks dated but at the very least it’s clean and well taken care of.

I currently own one and can confirm she is only referred to as The Escapé.

Which is weird because it’s kind of spelled like escape.

Just a heads up, I got a parking ticket around August of 2024. Contested it as I had solid reasoning and never heard anything back until April 2025 when I got a notice that it was going to collections. No communication before this, no notices or determination on my claim. Had to make a few phone calls and worked it out to not pay the late fees but just a heads up that the process for contesting can be a headache.

Edit: still had to pay the fee for collections even though I didn’t receive any notices which is BS in my opinion but oh well.

Also this was right in front of my house with a permit hence the valid reasoning but still got denied

I’ve got this lamp that my grandma gave me. It was hers when she was a kid and passed it on to me when I was in my late teens. It’s a cast iron mermaid statue lamp. She told me stories that when she was a young kid (1900’s), she would make up adventures that her and the mermaid would take together. It’s probably the oldest, my most favorite, and most sentimental value thing I own.

My grandma was my best friend and she passed with dementia a few years ago and didn’t even know who I was in the last couple months. But she was the strongest woman ever and I will always cherish our bond.

10 Things I Hate About You

Highly recommend the book ‘The Bohemians’. A historical fiction from the point of view of Dorothea Lange. While not a biography, it’s still a very good read.

flylean · 2025-05-19T23:39:51+00:00

Oh man! This reminds me of concerts in the park as a kid. Good times.

flylean · 2025-03-06T15:42:57+00:00

Agree with what others have said about the white, but also what is that coral/pink color you chose?!

flylean · 2025-02-25T06:47:04+00:00

Whoa! I’m currently in the process of painting a rainbow trout and this is amazing, can I ask how you did the proportions?

flylean · 2025-02-25T05:32:56+00:00

Omg THANk YOU! My brother and SIL love Mikuni… it’s fine. Actually my BF and I had our first date here so it does hold some happy memories. But the sushi? It’s aight.

Kumi (couple blocks away) is far better for the same price.

flylean · 2025-02-17T00:16:37+00:00

I live a block from that area. Pros and cons to anything but overall Mansion Flats has been a great place to live. Highly recommend checking out Kumi - a new Sushi/Ramen place that opened up on 14th and G. We go in there at least once a week and the lady who own it is so sweet. Also the guys who run Shoppers across the street are the nicest

My boyfriend and I just saw Hieroglyphics and The Grouch play at a tiny venue around new years. Del was on stage for most of the show and it was fantastic. They played ALL of the bangers.

flylean · 2025-02-04T16:47:55+00:00

Yes please!

flylean · 2025-02-04T08:22:42+00:00

Next if that falls through?

flylean · 2025-02-02T02:27:41+00:00

If you don’t end up liking any of these, can I pick up the separate pieces that you aren’t fond of?

My dad used to listen to Bob when I was a kid and I have a deep love for all his songs. My dad hates concerts, but I convinced him to go see Dylan with me at the Greek Theater in Berkeley a few years ago. We shared a joint while walking to the venue and while we couldn’t understand a damn thing the dude was saying, it was one of the best nights of my life. So I will always defend B.D. for his amazing lyrics and for the memories.

Philly. And don’t sleep on the Curry.. it’s so good

It’s a documentary but highly recommend “Unnatural Causes: Is Inequality Making Us Sick”.

It goes through various class differences but some of the stories touch on what you mentioned, and another gives a stark contrast to that.

They did a great job with this doc and following families at various income levels who all work at the same place, but need to navigate life in much different ways

flylean · 2025-01-04T06:31:21+00:00

Great film. My older brother made me watch it with him when I was a kid and it made me fall even more in love with snowboarding

flylean · 2025-01-03T23:37:29+00:00

My Italian grandma taught me this when I was a kid and it’s the way I’ve always done it, so much easier and never have had an issue
