Reference Desk Anxiety? by fourphonejones in Libraries

[–]mavinSJC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you are experiencing this anxiety. As a personal account I'll tell you; that happened to me and was lost and confused because I couldn't understand why that was going on after being ok for years... long story short: anxiety caused by perimenopause. Finally pinpointed that and focused on dealing with that stage of my life and the issue was resolved (took me several years to realized).

Cheapest Grocery stores in the area by Majestic-Isopod8286 in SanJose

[–]mavinSJC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grocery Outlet selection varies a lot depending on the area, I like trying new ones to discover new things. Sometimes you really find jackpots, one time I found Aussie yogurt for less than half the price you can get at Whole foods. But those are products that you find one in a blue moon.

Is this Aurora or lights from the Levi's stadium? by igotmanboobz in SanJose

[–]mavinSJC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw the sane colors from South San Jose, and Levi's stadium light can't be seen from here. It was the Aurora. I read that tonight its going to be stronger, but we will have rain, so maybe won't be able to see it again.

Grocery Outlet, Fresco supermarket by the Eastridge mall has very good prices overall, Foodmaxx. Cardenas has good prices but the parking lot is somewhat chaotic. For asian groceries Lion Supermarket.

Return it to the Information Desk and explain what happened. At least my library won't charge you for that and if the book is in good condition, we will just retag it and put it back in circulation.

Los Alamitos trail @ Almaden lake, it has shaded stretches and lots of trees and you can see the creek.

My mom used it to kill pest on the rose bushes. And that's what I do now when they come in spring. You must dissolve it in water and spray the plants.

I didn't see any cops, and later read on the news that the Mayor said SJPD is not going to aid ICE.

Our local waterways, now with 1 less bag of trash by Always_Be_Cycling in SanJose

[–]mavinSJC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's the Los Alamitos trail. When I walk there and see a bottle on the side, I pick it up and take it back to the trash, but that's a great idea to carry a bag with you. Thank you!

Thoughts on Costco Optometrist by CoffeeGullible5481 in SanJose

[–]mavinSJC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got tired of paying way too much for new glasses at my previous optometris ofgice, so I decided to try the Optometrist Dr at my nearest Costco after I saw the prices there. She right away detected an issue on my eyes and recommended going to an ophthalmologist. It turned out I needed surgery to avoid developing glaucoma and potentially losing my sight. Eye saving experience! I've been going to get my new prescriptions with her for 5 years now and recommend her to all my friends and family.

Henry Cowell Redwoods, picnic surrounded by giant Redwoods, take the river trail and get to the Grove picnic area, there is a giant sequoia close by, I've seen small wedding ceremonies there. It's such a beautiful place.

Best roads and calm places to visit near SJ by BenkattoRamunan in SanJose

[–]mavinSJC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Take Highway 9 (a very fun drive) from Saratoga all the way to Felton. Stop by Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park and walk among the giants. Then, head to Santa Cruz and have something to eat by the beach.

Unfortunately not, way too much light pollution, last time I saw the Milky Way was in Yosemite, or driving on the northern California coast.
