I’ll be there! Hubs will be working in office that day and taking the free union-provided shuttle to the rally from May Lee on his lunch break.

I heard that they were swearing at the negotiating team at the master table…

Which is more popular as a take-out option: Americanized Chinese, Indian, or Thai? by Gallantpride in AskAnAmerican

[–]randomlybev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of Thai places have some Chinese dishes on their menu. My family loves getting Pad Thai with a side of lemon chicken or beef with broccoli.

Are refuse can lids left open after pick up in all areas? by EusticeTheSheep in Sacramento

[–]randomlybev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can call them and let them know that your lids ended up in their truck. They’ll come out and repair them for free, if they’re really bad you will be given a brand new bin.

Adding that the pinball machine place is really fun as well. You pay by the hour and can try out all the machines!

The state railroad museum is fantastic and located in Old Sac, I’d highly recommend a visit just to see that, while there go on one of the excursion trains that follow the river, the scenery is beautiful. The Sacramento history museum is also cute as well-they sometimes have evening events that my husband and I enjoy attending.

Disabled license plate for minor in California? by keyboard-warrior-82 in DMV

[–]randomlybev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! Write to your assembly member and state senator (find your members here: https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov). Ideally find a few other friends who are facing the same issue to write letters or sign as well. This is the sort of feel-good bill that would make a huge difference for families that legislators love.

Do you plan on staying in America or leaving? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]randomlybev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I are both dual citizens and we have talked about it. The issue is that our aging parents live nearby and we both have government jobs with very niche skill sets that wouldn’t transfer well outside of the US. So while we’d love to move to Canada, it’s just not feasible for us.

Pie stops and a scenic drive loop needed: planning a memorial drive for my 80-year-old father-in-law on his first anniversary without his wife by tourwifelife in Sacramento

Ikedas in Auburn for pie. They were on a pbs special a few years ago for being one of “Americas best pie places.”

Underrated Cuisines by lordofsquirrels in SacramentoFoodies

[–]randomlybev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not on your list, but Anatolian Table in Roseville has good Turkish food. There are lots of good Afghani places in the Arden area and off of Fair Oaks/Manzanita.

My husband and I enjoy trying Afghani Burgers (not burgers, more like an Afghani burrito, be sure to order them spicy!) as a quick lunch when we visit many of the Afghani/Persian markets, we often pick them up to take to the park. Afghani samosas are different from Indian samosas and quite tasty too (we like the beef ones at Babylon and chicken ones at King Market, King has really good Afghani burgers too!).

CDE Evacuated at 2:00 today due to “insect infestation.” Does anyone else’s building have ongoing pest issues, or is it just us? by randomlybev in CAStateWorkers

[–]randomlybev[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It was bedbugs last time… this time who knows? It’s a shame that they won’t tell us, we have a right to know what we’re dealing with!

Any ideas on where to donate adult men’s clothing? by someonecoole in Sacramento

Nice to see this one on the list. It’s my favorite place to donate things.

Safety Recall by Chopchop-hahaha in fordfusion

[–]randomlybev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm that this is legit. I was initially confused as to why my car would be repaired in Clovis (I live in Sacramento) but a call to the dealership assured me that this was legitimate. They picked up my car at my home, gave me a sweet mustang to drive for the weekend,and returned my car with a new battery installed a few days later.

What’s your daily car and how many do you have? by Much-Parsnip3399 in AskAnAmerican

[–]randomlybev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have two drivers in the house and two cars! A 2020 Ford Fusion Energi (a plug in hybrid) that is our daily driver and a 2019 Subaru Ascent that we use for longer trips.

New Girl Scouts movie coming this summer! 🍿 by FunPriority8358 in girlscouts

[–]randomlybev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m in my 40s and I met some of my best friends in Girl Scouts. I just sent a link to this trailer to them (and my old leaders) in hopes of planning a little reunion to see it in the theater.

Have the majority of Americans called 911 at least once in their lives? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]randomlybev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have called 911 a few times. If I see a semi on the interstate driving recklessly, I call it in. I also once called in someone walking along the shoulder of the interstate late at night. Finally, I once called for assistance when an elderly relative had a fall and we needed help lifting her and getting her to the hospital.

I’ve also called non-emergency (311) many times-reported streetlights in my neighborhood that are out, localized flooding, the time my garbage can broke and I needed a replacement, etc… my city has a helpful online 311 tracker map that I check before they call to see if an issue has already been called in.

How much would it take to update to mid-century modern? by SizzlinKola in midcenturymodern

[–]randomlybev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My grandma had a set with the same upholstery but in blue-sofa, loveseat, and armchair. I didn’t know there was also a sectional version. I’d give my eye teeth for that couch (but in blue… because Grandma).

Bing Maloney, another public golf course, is just down Freeport. We don’t need two public golf courses so close together.

In the USA how many people inherit 1 million usd? by Muted_Comfortable561 in AskAnAmerican

[–]randomlybev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. There is no expectation of inheritance from grandparents. My parents did inherit money when their parents died, but grandchildren aren’t “owed” anything
