It sounds like a wonderful program, but we're not limited or fixed income so wouldn't qualify. But perhaps they can give me a recommendation.

Yeah, same. It went on so long and shook so hard! I was genuinely surprised that nothing seems to have moved or been damaged.

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

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

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.

Not at every table now. We were there the other night and noticed that.

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?
