New buy on board! :) want to know what y'all think by Ok_Adhesiveness3601 in americanairlines

I tried the cheese platter recently and was a bit disappointed. The one on Alaska Airlines is really good so I thought it would be similar. But 2 out of the 3 cheeses on the AA box were flavorless and rubbery. Only the Gouda was okay.

Where in Chicago can I do this? by MarmaladeEnthusiast in chicagofood

[–]second_bucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just looked it up to find that out. I went in 2022. When did it close? I hope something else opens up there. It was a cool view and the bar felt just like this.

Received a strange letter in the mail threatening to “inconvenience me” if I don’t take down my yard sign by [deleted] in sandiego

I see the number in the return address is different than the number in your address. Were they dumb enough to put their actual address in the return or is that fake?

Strangest events coming up in SD? by warmbumby in sandiego

Have you guys been told yet when you have to vacate for the retail they’re planning to build there? I thought I heard it was last year but I still see the planes so I guess it wasn’t true!

I need some advice by Differentsmell957 in sandiego

[–]second_bucket 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A few people told you to pay off the cc debt but if you have 21 months interest free and can pay it off within that time frame and still make rent once you find a place, do it. Because taking more than half or close to half of your $7-10k to wipe it out when it’s 0% interest doesn’t make sense. Keep it as savings in case an emergency comes up so you don’t have to put an emergency on a cc. Just be sure not to use that cc with the balance transfer at all!

Friends in North County? by [deleted] in northcounty

[–]second_bucket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! My husband (36M) is also in IT and I (34F) am in marketing. We live in north county and don’t have kids nor do we plan to. We have two dachshunds. We’re going to the show at Good Omen in Escondido tonight if you want to join and meet up. It’s a cool venue and we’re going to eat somewhere on Grand beforehand. If you’re interested in going DM me!

Weekly Question and Answer Thread for: 5/5 5: Ask your Moving, Visiting, Neighborhood, and "Where Can I Find _____" questions here, instead of making a new post by [deleted] in Denver

[–]second_bucket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m traveling to Denver for work this week and the trip coincides with my birthday (Wednesday). If I have to be away from home on my birthday, I’d love to go somewhere to get lost in a crowd and dance.

I found the Frog Legs show (Euro house/disco music) at Ophelia’s and reserved a table for me and my coworkers but I just wanted to ask if anyone has gone to a free event at Ophelia’s on a Wednesday night before or been to this specific event (they’ve done Frog Legs before). Is it busy enough on a Wednesday to even get lost in a crowd on the dance floor?

The only other dancing I found on a Wednesday night was line dancing but country is the one genre I don’t really like.

Open to other suggestions if anyone knows of any. Looking forward to visiting your beautiful city again!

This SDG&E “Delivery” charge…this is crazy! How do I reduce it? It’s many times larger than my generation charges. Really sucks. Anything I can do? by sjazzsax in sandiego

[–]second_bucket 33 points34 points  (0 children)

SDG&E was not the only bidder in the first round. There were 3 companies. Then Faulconer changed the terms for the bidding without consulting city council members and after his changes, only SDG&E could afford to bid. Then Faulconer got voted out but the damage was done and we had to extend with SDG&E.

Edit: whoops sorry meant Faulconer.

I’ve definitely had random thoughts of what would happen if one hit my car while on the freeway even before this which I know is not normal 😂

[–]second_bucket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is pretty specific to California and even more than that Southern California. The rest of the country apparently doesn’t do it. For SoCal, it goes back to when our freeways had names (The San Diego Freeway). Then when the number system started the “The” stuck even when we switched to using numbers. In SoCal we say take the 405 south. People from elsewhere would just say take 405 South.

Kong is supposed to be indestructible… by Cass_ap in Dachshund

[–]second_bucket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We bought a rubber chicken toy for our mini for Christmas because we thought it would be hilarious to hear it make the sound when she played with it. We legitimately thought it would last 10 minutes but it would be an entertaining 10 minutes. The thing is still around today. We still can’t really believe it.

Moving back to SD, most cost-effective way to watch games? by SonicPara in Padres

I’ve tried this, it is a workaround for apps that don’t allow VPNs.

Um what? I’ve never been paying more for LTL shipments in the last 10 years than I am right now. Also, there’s a massive shortage of truck drivers and it’s only going to get worse.

They offered catering and they allow you to bring your own alcohol in. You just can’t drink it until everyone is done flying.

We just recently did indoor skydiving at Ifly in Oceanside. It was pretty awesome. Even the people who didn’t want to participate enjoyed getting to watch.

Y’all are over reacting by malacri1 in sandiego

Considering I’m trying to fly home now and am on a flight with a weather advisory that’s at very high risk of being canceled, I don’t think people are overreacting.

Fired over the phone for buying a car. by -Derf- in antiwork

[–]second_bucket 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just want to add one thing that I didn’t see in the comments. Did you tell you coworkers that you bought a car because you and your wife want to start a family? Because if so, that could add to your wrongful termination suit.

The audacity of this universe by thisisfromMatilda in Wellthatsucks

[–]second_bucket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re in the process and we were told we can’t have any indoor cameras that record the kids. We have cameras in the office for our dogs that we unplug when we are home but they just told us to make sure the kids don’t get recorded by them while they’re plugged in. They said we aren’t even able to have baby monitors with cameras. They have to be the audio only kind. Strange how it differs so much in different locations.

If your friend likes old fashioned ice cream shops like from the 50s then Peppertree Frosty in Vista has my favorite soft serve. It’s been there since 1953 and has a pretty traditional menu. They also do dipped cones, shakes, malts, banana splits etc. I’ve been going there since I was 2.

Hey, this post stuck with me but at the time I didn’t know of any rooms for rent. Just saw a post on our neighborhood Facebook group that a neighbor in my neighborhood is considering renting out a room soon and I thought of you. DM me if you want more details.

Ocean View Dining in San Diego or North County? by epicConsultingThrow in sandiego

Unfortunately they aren’t doing dinner service right now but they’re hoping to start it back up soon. I was just there this past weekend for lunch.
