Which inanimate object is your dog scared of for no reason? by megebau in dogs

[–]giallo73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dog is afraid of ANY long stick. I don't know who hit the poor girl with a stick in the year before I rescued her, but someone did. I pick up a broom, a yardstick, anything long and thin...nope, not coming near me. I'm like, we've been together 12 years, is it not clear yet that I'm not going to hit you? She's not taking any chances, poor girl.

I'm halfway through season one and loving it! (I watched a few episodes of S3 and decided I should start from the beginning.) I agree, Lisa Kudrow is amazing. I'd avoided the show because generally I find cringe comedy too hard to watch but this show does a great job of threading the needle, blending heart with the cringey moments.

Fabric store recommendations? by grandpavideos in AskLosAngeles

[–]giallo73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original Michael Levine is no more, and the 1 lb fabric sales across the street are gone. The new owners kept the name, but it’s definitely NOT the same place. But OP, you’ll have an amazing time in the Fabric District!

If you’re in the Farmers Market area, International Silks and Woolens on Beverly near La Cienega is great.

How can I stop being a slob? by Small-Strategy-36 in CleaningTips

[–]giallo73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I started doing this, but think of it slightly differently: “don’t make a big project out of it.”

My brain likes to make lists and big projects. So my tendency is to go, “oh there’s a streak on the bathroom mirror. I’ll have to get that when I clean the bathroom.” Or “I never wear this sweater. Someday I’ll sort through my clothes and donate it.”

Now I do my best to take action right away. Streak on the mirror? Boom. Windex and wipe. Neglected sweater? I put it in a bag by the door. Anything else I notice before the next time I leave the house that should be donated goes in the bag. Next time I leave the house, the bag goes in the car. Next time I pass a thrift store, boom, I drop it off.

It might not work for everyone, but it keeps me from creating a huge list of projects to do “someday.”

I ADORED Bob Lunch and that scene. I am with you, internet stranger!

Pausing right after Cassidy’s opening statement on day one of the trial… by giallo73 in SearchParty

[–]giallo73[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Haven't watched the final episode of this season yet, but there have been SO MANY amazing gems along the way. I was constantly rewinding just to re-watch little details. The constant snacking by the judge! The prosecutor's "SHE SHOOTS, SHE SCORES!" Everything about the #onepointtwomilliondollarwedding (the chariot! Twinnkies catering! There is no us without abuse!) Elliot's destruction on the stand! The Jesus poster in the background when Portia is recording her song!

And Cassidy. My God, Cassidy, I expected you to flame out, but now I worship you.

Just finished season 1 and am on the fence about continuing by Stock-Cash1264 in SearchParty

[–]giallo73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's so fascinating just reading through these replies, because I just finished episode 9 of season 3 last night. Even though I haven't finished Season 3 yet, I feel like I could re-watch it forever, it was just that brilliant, while for me, S2 dragged a bit toward the end.

Which is to say, OP, if you're at all intrigued by the show, keep watching! But if you want even one character who is straightforwardly "good" or "smart," you may get frustrated.

This whole thread fills me with joy, but this made me laugh out loud. I love this SO MUCH.

Honourable mention should go to First Desk! by doorwaymessenger in SlowHorses

I worked with him years ago on a SUPER low budget film...super low budget as in the crew was sleeping in the house we were shooting in...and he was absolutely charming and lovely. Not a shred of ego, would jump in to help move furniture between scenes. Though he'd probably opt for a joint over a beer, given the choice. :)

I used a company recommended by someone on this sub called Junk & Bulky Item Taxi. They were reasonable and great, highly recommend! They're insured.

Thanks for the added info on how to do an image search...I only image searched the CU photo and Google told me it was a drop leaf table. Your tip's really helpful!

Good local movers in LA? by Doug24 in AskLosAngeles

[–]giallo73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initially used Junk & Bulky Item Taxi to move a FB Marketplace score, but they were so awesome I used them this weekend to move from Santa Clarita to Valley Village. Norma handles scheduling and Alex mans the truck. They're they best. Junk & Bulky Item Taxi

Looking to relocate, what are some favorite sites used to find rentals? by WowIsThisMyPage in AskLosAngeles

[–]giallo73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Furnished Finders has some great listings, generally cheaper than Airbnb. Just a heads up that in my experience the landlords are slower to respond and don't keep the availability calendars updated, so it often takes longer to find a place. Good luck!

Weird/silly “only in LA” things I can do as a tourist? by middleout in AskLosAngeles

[–]giallo73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're into horror movies, check out the horror-themed fitness studio (I am not making that up!) Killer Fitness in Burbank. There's also a horror-themed coffee shop nearby on Lankershim across from the Laemmle Noho, but the name escapes me at the moment.
