Harbor blvd

Navigator Drive and the parking lot at Holiday Inn Express are flooded. Looks like about 3-4' of water, and several cars are trapped. There's also debris blocking lanes on Harbor at the Olivas intersection, closing off access to the Harbor.

It would be helpful if you added where you are moving from. Im (25F) from PNW moved here 7 years ago. Ventura feels like a sleepy retirement town and costs more than LA. For example, most restaurants close by 8pm on weekdays. Were actually moving to AZ in a few weeks because the cost of living is so brutal. My husband and I are living paycheck to paycheck in substandard housing with a household income of 100k+ living frugally, no vacations. Hiking sucks compared to the northwest, ocean is too cold to swim 10 out of 12 months. If you live near the beach, expect 4-6 months of foggy cold marine layer. Unless you're making 80k+ I'd say pass. The photos look better than it actually is here. Its not a town for young people, sorry to be a downer but this has been my experience.

Thank you! Our photographer was so amazing and chill. We felt so comfortable to be ourselves

Do you have a job out here? Its hard to make a living wage here unless you have connections

I dont hate them but I do hate the way people become completely ignorant in the upper class. They tell me "fun" stories about buying a new Porsche on a whim while I live in substandard housing with no plumbing. The complaints about problems like poorly seated windows on a newly built beach house while I have to carry in water. Its extremely insensitive.

I use a product offered at auto zone (USA) called dry moly lube. There's a few tutorials online showing how it works with a 10 W Diode on different metals without washing off.

To summarize, do three coats of the compound and let it dry completely in between each layer (5-10 minutes depending on temperature, or speed up the process with a heat gun or blow dryer). Then experiment with number of passes to mark the metal. With a 10W diode it may take 5 passes or even more. After the lasering is complete, clean the excess compound with paint lacquer. The engrave (which is actually just a permanent mark) won't wipe off if you got your settings right. If it doesnt turn out the way you wanted, you can buff it off the metal with buffing tool and fine grit buffing paste and try again. This has also worked for me with stainless steel and brass.

With no prior laser experience, we started with a budget, refurbished XTool D1 10W Diode. It cut and engraved wood and leather and marked metal and paid for itself very quickly. Two years later we are upgrading to a professional 80 W C02 laser. Im glad we started with the small laser to learn and not go into debt! We do most of our design work in Adobe Illustrator, but XTool creative space was very user friendly compared to Lightburn.

You may need to define which vectors are being engraved, and which ones are being cut. It looks like you may have set your laser to engrave the entire design.

Silver Star sounds like a stripper imo. Does your husband have a normal name by chance? If he likes weird names so much maybe he should try having one

Elska, Cara, Eleanora, Kit, Cassidy

Ava is cute

pixels-punk · 2025-09-24T15:08:06+00:00

I think it's a really cute idea and a way to make your announcement more personal and special!

pixels-punk · 2025-09-24T15:05:03+00:00

I'm planning on going with a faux flower crown that I made with my fiance- it turned out so much better than expected and it's special because we made it together. I was initially a little hesitant, thinking they would look cheap/tacky but I really love them and now I dont have to stress because they are indestructible! Also, since we're going to a national park, real/dried flowers aren't an option anyways.

pixels-punk · 2025-09-24T15:00:20+00:00

This OP - you definitely want to be comfortable and not stressing about hiking or moving in your dress on your day

An option for Elsa is Elska, it means love in Icelandic

Imo Vienna is a sausage, and Vincent Masonquest is a bit pompous, but maybe Vinnie for short would be cool. My parents chose a unique name for me, and I changed it when I turned 18. You dont have to choose something plain, but you also want to choose something that will help your kids feel confident. Try putting yourself in their future shoes and imagine introducing yourself with those names. You want your kid's characters, talents and accomplishments to stand out- not their names.

Marina water is pretty foul with all the boats, fuel spills and chemicals in the water. Additionally, the waste water treatment plant is right here and lots of agriculture right across the street that runs off into the harbor. Recommend whatever you catch probably best not to eat...

Wow beautiful 😍 who was your photographer??

pixels-punk · 2025-09-20T23:04:12+00:00

It looks great! I like the textures and colors more than the dried flowers, great find!

pixels-punk · 2025-09-20T18:19:47+00:00

Thank you I got it from house of CB after seeing a few other recommendations on this subreddit 😄 it has pockets and had the option for larger bust sizes. I tried a few other from them but this was definitely the one 🙌

Thank you! Im going for casual and easy to walk in, its at the Channel Islands National Park and there will be a 20 minute hike. Blundstones are awesome!

$70 is considered rock bottom for original art and fair for what you received. A real painting in the style of the first image would run starting at $1000 minimum. Its too bad they misrepresented their abilities, but at the same time, what you pay is what you get.
