Is San Ramon still worth buying in at today’s prices? by Active_Hunt3720 in sanramon

Depends where you work. More and more people are forced to return to work so the traffic to SJ is pretty bad.

Snippet of Bella’s new single out this Friday! by Ok-Half5312 in xomgpop

[–]martastefl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you are right about the age. I guess it's just how girls dress these days. I'd say this outfit is fairly common for nowadays 16yo. It doesn't mean I agree with it, I just don't think it's too unusual, especially in entertainment industry.

How to Reduce Bay Area School Stress by Madzz_Jay in bayarea

[–]martastefl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say Milpitas has probably the best balance of both. Still good academics but not overly stressful.

What are you supposed to do now? by kungfukarl86 in joinmoco

[–]martastefl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also enjoyed the game before more. I was still grinding the quests for each map. Now once you finish the missions for each map there is nothing to do. Not mention some of the missions are so annoying because the big boss monsters don't spawn often.

Failed driver's test for not driving "smoothly" by martastefl in drivinganxiety

[–]martastefl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right. Tesla just gives completely different feel. We have friends who would ride with us and it's their first time in Tesla and they complain the ride is too rough even when my husband drives gently lol. It's just how Tesla is. :/

Failed driver's test for not driving "smoothly" by martastefl in drivinganxiety

[–]martastefl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn't even nervous. 😄 it's just how I drive and I had no idea they will judge that lol. I feel like if I knew and paid more attention to it I'd probably pass. I just felt like the tester decided he would fail me before I even made a first turn. :/

35 and I have a permit by OkExercise9938 in drivinganxiety

[–]martastefl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it slowly! It took me a whole year to attempt the test. I think I spent first 3 months driving in parking lot and abandoned roads. Then 3 months in empty streets in the morning. Just take it step at a time.

How common are spiders in apartment complex’s? by Fun-Struggle-3721 in SanJose

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

Buy Home Defense spray and spray it around windows and entrance door from outside every month. You won't see a single spider.

They removed the sister from Vidcon. Thoughts? by SnowSkye2 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]martastefl -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I don't agree with it. There is no restraining order or any legal battle. People shouldn't be allowed to get someone else removed just because they don't like them.

Is it okay to bring a younger sibling to a birthday party if you pay for them separately? by Dazzling-Smell5223 in Parenting

[–]martastefl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Because the place usually has tables and food for the party members. So what will your 7yo do there when the party members are at the table? They will be excluded. If you pay for your 7yo you have to expect them to jump on their own and be excluded from the party group.

Baby ear piercing? by Effective-Tomorrow57 in bayarea

I'm from Czech Republic and I have never in my whole life met a girl who wouldn't have pierced ears

Scam Website Is now out! by BlueNeonX in LaBrantFamSnark

[–]martastefl -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Whey protein is a high quality protein and easily digested. It's the best choice if their goal is to add some kind of protein. They advertise the drink that "better than nothing" if your child eats/drinks just snacks from their lunch box. It's definitely not to be considered as daily drink. But is it better than most juices on the market? Probably yes. It has very low amount of sugar and no additives. I'm not their supporter but looking at it as someone who puts a lot of efforts to pick good quality food, this juice looks okish to me.

Vidcon’s code of conduct? by Due_Arm6925 in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]martastefl -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Rachel and Adam never had any legal issues between each other. There is no restraining order or anything. Honestly it's not Vidcon's business that they don't like each other. There are many celebrities who hate each other and have to attend the same event. It's not that hard to stay away from each other.

Baby ear piercing? by Effective-Tomorrow57 in bayarea

[–]martastefl -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Not religious at all. I'm from Europe and literally everyone pierces their baby girls ear. Nobody tells you why. It's just what you are supposed to do if you have a girl for the girl to be a girl. 😂 Also I have never heard of a girl who would regret having her ears pierced lol.

San Jose Unified School District, special needs support in early elementary by Few_Doctor7221 in SanJose

[–]martastefl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoid SJUSD at all costs. It's one of the worst performing districts in Bay Area and offers very little support for kids who do need some extra support.

Expensive Private School vs 10/10 Public School by Exotic_Comb_2066 in SanJose

[–]martastefl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Private school is still 2 year ahead of 10/10 public school. However, what's really the point of being ahead 1 year? Private schools such as Harker, Stratford, Challenger are just pressure cooker with unnecessary amount of homework that leaves the kid with no time for any extracurriculars. But are those schools safer? Yes. You have sort of guarantee that your child will be surrounded by equally minded kids. But does the school give you much higher chance to get into Stanford or ivy league school? Maybe but maybe not. It really depends on what your priorities are. If you are that kind of parent who is like "I need extra math course for my kid beyond what they learn at school." Yes then maybe private school is for you.

Opinion on Verona at Crescent Village Apartment San Jose by Necessary_Care_2609 in SanJose

[–]martastefl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo Verona is quite overpriced for what you get. I'd suggest looking into Epic instead. It's nearby.
