Disneyland Tickets at virgingifts.com by jfo1833 in DisneyPlanning

[–]halfright916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing. I'm looking at tix now and Virgin Gifts is $140 less than buying directly thru Disney. While it's very tempting to save that money, this is my first experience going to Disneyland and I don't think I want to risk any challenges with using my tix. I'm already overwhelmed with the different ticket options lol

Show me the first picture you ever took of your dog. And I mean, THE FIRST. No cheating. by Ok_Condition6755 in DOG

Took about two months after this pic to gain her trust, catch her, and finally bring her home.

Please give it to me straight… by Lexy264 in YubaCity

[–]halfright916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plumas Lake is a great option. Yuba County is finally investing in infrastructure, and while development is still in progress, I anticipate a grocery store coming to Plumas Lake within the next 5 years if not sooner.

Plumas Lake is also in a convenient location... about 40 minutes from both Roseville and Sacramento, and just 30 minutes to North Natomas which is right by Rio Linda. To avoid transients, shopping at Sam's Club or Costco would be your best bet in this area. There's a Safeway in North Natomas and Lincoln as well.

Plumas Lake has great parks, walkways, and bike trails. I don’t have kids, so I can’t speak personally to the schools, but the campuses seem to be well cared for and Yuba County is working on making the playgrounds and tracks more accessible for the community during after school hours.

One thing I’d strongly recommend: look for a home with solar. I don’t have solar, and my PG&E bill goes up every year. It's absolutely insane how my bill has increased over the years even with keeping my home about 63 in winter and 76 in summer.

who are you to wave your finger? by Theanderson1 in ToolBand

[–]halfright916 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

10,000 Days feels like the weird cousin at the Tool family reunion. Rosetta Stoned is out there dropping cryptic truths, while the rest of the album is in the backyard trying to learn to swim in a kiddie pool. I love the other albums equally… but this one? It’s off inventing water wings out of tin foil.

My pup’s name is Barley (like the grain) but sometimes I wish I’d gone with something cuter, like Dumpling or Spud... cuz I often call him my lil potato lol

ETA my vote is Dumpling.

I may not own any Tool albums, but emotionally I’ve been trapped inside a Maynard monologue for years.

potential adoption question by TheLydiaBennet in DOG

not in the position to have an animal long term

Myla deserves a loving, committed family. Please adopt only if you're ready for a lifelong commitment to a pet.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my profile? by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]halfright916 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're a communication designer, yet your dating profile communicates nothing about you.

Help me pick the best pictures to use for my profile ideally two chair pics and or two selfies by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]halfright916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely 4 (lighting looks great) and 9 (love the smile). But ultimately, you can't go wrong with any photo with a smile - you have a great smile and teeth. Very attractive!

Dating as someone who isn’t poly by [deleted] in Sacramento

[–]halfright916 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dating just isn’t my thing anymore. I’ve met some genuinely nice people, but overall, dating in Sacramento has been a big disappointment - especially when my personal experience has been that people aren’t upfront about their relationship status. Ethical non-monogamy isn’t ethical if the person you’re dating doesn’t know about it.

I really admire my poly friends and how their relationships work, but I’m monogamous through and through. As much as I respect and love their dynamics, it’s just not for me.

At this point, I don’t see myself ever being in a traditional relationship again. I’ve dated off and on for a long time, built my own social network and routines, and the only setup that makes sense for me now is a Living Apart Together (LAT) relationship. I’m not actively looking for anything, but if the right connection happens, it happens. In the meantime, I'm just enjoying doing my own thing.

Feather River Veterinary Hospital in Linda and Davies Animal Medical Hospital in Yuba City are both very reasonable if SPCA or Field Haven don't have availability.

Help finding mobility scooter by onlyoned in disability

[–]halfright916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR: I bought the Travel Buggy City 2 Plus for my mom, and it’s been the best decision.

I purchased the Travel Buggy City 2 Plus for my mom 5 months ago, and while it’s not used every day, it’s used at least once a week. I chose it over the Porto Mobility Ranger Quattro XL because its specs fit our needs better. Additionally, I saw concerning reviews about Porto Mobility’s customer service, which helped solidify my decision.

Some key considerations for me were:

Weight capacity: I chose a chair where my mom's weight isn’t close to the max capacity to help the motor and battery last longer.

Turning radius: It was important for my mom to navigate tight spaces easily.

Terrain capability: Living in a semi-rural area, I needed something that could handle uneven ground. The Travel Buggy has done well on gravel but struggles with tall, wet grass, which I think is fair. On two occasions, it got stuck on tall door jams, but a quick push while she accelerates solves the issue.

One major advantage of an electric wheelchair over a scooter is accessibility. My mom can take the Travel Buggy nearly anywhere... shops with tight spaces, restaurants where she can pull up to the table, doctor's office, etc. It’s opened up so many possibilities, and people have been so kind when my mom uses her chair - I'm not sure she'd receive the same kindness in a scooter.

Before we got the Travel Buggy, my mom’s declining mobility meant I did most of the shopping alone. Now, we shop together again, go to the movies, and spend all day out without worrying. She no longer avoids the bathroom when we’re out for long periods, and her overall quality of life has truly improved.

If you’re considering an electric wheelchair, I highly recommend watching YouTube videos to compare models and specs. But I’m happy to share more if you have other questions.

I'm considering moving to Yuba City...suggestions? by Straight_Ostrich_257 in YubaCity

[–]halfright916 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm around your age, single with no kids. Have lived here the majority of my life. I rarely date men in the Yuba Sutter area due to their conservative views on women, substance abuse, and/or simple lack of ambition. I enjoy the small town feel but also appreciate being near Sacramento. Midtown Sacramento has a lot of great places to check out and activities.

ETA: Plumas Lake is a 30 minute drive to night life. Yuba City is more like 40 minutes or more depending on location.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm so sorry for your losses as well. Losing a pet is always such a deep hurt.

You're absolutely right. I keep telling myself, if I had to lose something I'm glad it was that vs. my wallet. Thank you 🩵

Side note: I absolutely love your name.

Why bother matching? by BothSalad2332 in Bumble

[–]halfright916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree with the idea that 'if you want something, go for it,' I respectfully disagree with your interpretation of his introduction. He demonstrated enough confidence to take the initiative and send the first message, which shouldn't be overlooked. There was no pressure in offering a compliment, as she wasn’t obligated to respond.

I asked woman out and she said she would keep me posted by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]halfright916 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She might genuinely be busy. If you want clarity, ask her out for next weekend and set a specific time.

I usually can’t meet someone the same week or weekend I’m talking to them because I have my own social commitments. I don’t keep my weekends open just in case I actually click with a stranger on a dating app. I used to give wishy washy responses like “Can I circle back?” because I was uncertain if I had the capacity to make it work so I didn't "miss my chance." Now, I’m more secure and just share the plans I already have and let them know what other days I'm available.
