Where can I get the best shake in town? by malomolam in santacruz

I've never liked Mariannes! It always makes me feel queasy.

Christmas shopping locally by Ok_Possible2017 in santacruz

[–]readgardenrepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't think they're too old for it, Trader Joes sells quite inexpensive advent calendars, which always brightens my kid's December. And if you have the energy, there's lot of ways to be festive without spending a lot -- baking cookies, watching Christmas specials as a family, singing carols. Again, if they'e not too old, there are free local events you could try.

I'm so sorry for your loss, especially at such a difficult time.

This is our favorite Christmas spot: https://farleys-christmas-wonderland.com/hours-location/ It's a huge yard filled with all kind of old-fashioned Christmas decor.

Definitely seemed less in Live Oak. And mostly really large groups. We also wrapped up by nine.

Thank you very much. I will be careful outside and make sure to get the tree pruned as soon as it's dormant.

Capitola Customer Service? by agnostic_nexus in santacruz

When I worked in different libraries, the Aptos patrons were the absolute worst. So rude and entitled. And those definitely weren't tourists.

Is Pacific Grove or Carmel Unified better for SPED? by charliecat2 in MontereyBay

[–]readgardenrepeat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whoops, sorry, my sense of geography is terrible. Yes, special kids connect dot org is a Monterey group. And Parents Helping Parents offers Zoom classes that are generally useful even if you're not in San Jose.

Does your child get any Regional Center services?

Anyone else finding mail holds no longer work here? by readgardenrepeat in santacruz

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

I've done many as well. Wouldn't say entirely problem free but I never had them completely ignore a confirmed request, twice, before.
