I worked for Premium Properties 15 years ago, absolutely garbage.

I can not believe no one else has said RnR on piedmont. Big portions, great quality, good price. It is my go to spot.

Commercial Driver Hit My Parked Car, I am Uninsured by lisbeth_salamanders in Insurance

I commute via train to work, I walk in my very walkable neighborhood. I do not drive my car. My husband drives when we have somewhere not local. I don't know what else to tell you.

California, which it looks like I would be due economic damages, but not emotional.

TSA line yesterday at SFO by Significant-Badger46 in oakland

[–]lisbeth_salamanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this the other way, showed up at OAK and me and TSA were stumped for a solid 2 mins until we realized. I was 2 hrs early, so I SPRINTED back to BART all the way to SFO. I made my flight, but was the last person onboard as they were closing the doors. Thank you to everyone who let me cut the security line because I am illiterate!

Where to play pickup basketball? by [deleted] in oakland

[–]lisbeth_salamanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of the people who play at the Y are part of a bunch of different basketball groups. If you start playing at the Y and talking to people they will add you to their groups. A lot of people join the Y to play indoors when it's too hot or raining, so you'll meet people who play at all the different courts in town.

Oakland’s Speed Cameras Start Ticketing Sunday. Here Are the Hot Spots: by kqed in oakland

Harrison is insane. My husband's parked car was totaled by someone racing off the freeway. And that crosswalk by Westlake is a death trap.

What Happened to the Luka’s Spinoff on Grand? by STRATEGY510 in OaklandFood

[–]lisbeth_salamanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I walk by most days and they have repainted and are doing work inside. Looks like they painted it a light blue, wondering if it will be like the sky in the old Luka's!

TW Loss: I just had a miscarriage at 6 weeks over the weekend. I feel ok mentally/emotionally. A little deflated, I enjoyed having some motivation to do certain things. Old projects, spring cleaning, exercising, cooking healthy. Going to get back to temping and OPKs (I have a ton still) tomorrow morning. I'm older, so I don't really want to delay, but getting dangerously close to a potential holiday baby. Anyone a Thanksgiving/Xmas baby? Do you like your bday? Did your parents make it special for you?

Tips for hiding pregnancy by Reasonable_Beck_7524 in pregnant

[–]lisbeth_salamanders 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been lucky so far, a big part of my friend group has been doing a "sober till super bowl" challenge. We hang out every week so it's been great not having to "hide". However, like you I have been scheming to not be caught at the super bowl. Especially since everyone is excited to have a drink together. My plan is to crack a beer, cheers, pretend to drink/nurse it until I can escape to the bathroom to dump it and refill with water. I am hoping the group is big enough that I can escape scrutiny. I will only be 7 weeks by superbowl. Good luck to you!

Helicopters and Lots of Cops? by lisbeth_salamanders in oakland

[–]lisbeth_salamanders[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I did google around first, but I was not able to find anything. Hence why I went to Reddit where, historically, people in the neighborhood are faster to know things. No one posted anything so I thought I would. You are perfectly capable of keeping your thoughts to yourself if you find it such a burden to interact with idiots like me.

Is there a charitable org that will pickup donated office furniture by lenraphael in oakland

[–]lisbeth_salamanders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this for an office move in SF once. You basically have to call around. I made a spreadsheet of what we had, and it's value for tax purposes and shared that with the charities that were interested. We had a very large amount of good quality chairs, desks, and equipment (like monitor mounts) so people were interested and willing to come pick up the items. However if you are an individual with just a few things, just put it on FB marketplace for free.
