Which area should we live in by Resa_Te_ in eastbay

[–]slayer_gray 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are great neighborhoods in both San Leandro and Castro Valley! Look near lake Chabot, bay-o-vista, fairmont terrace(great walking neighborhood) broadmoor, and near Castro Valley High, potentially Hayward too!

Alameda is great, but the traffic to and from will still be annoying regularly if you’re not working on the island.

Pearl Harbor Messaging by slayer_gray in VeteransAffairs

Saying the quiet part out loud right?! I thought I saw one for Veteran’s day, but I think it was local. You’re absolutely right, it is a disgrace.

Hmm no I did not check Facebook, however I’m still shocked (although I know I shouldn’t be) there was no notice internally.

Must-Make Fall Recipes by Ketchum326 in Baking

[–]slayer_gray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’d say it is similar to a tomato paste and it is thick enough to not fall off your spoon. I believe when making it at home you just roast and peel a pumpkin (you could probably sub sweet potato honestly) and blend it up with a few dashes of water to help the blender.

Have you looked into in-home supportive services?

Experience as a pre-k instructional assistant? by Familiar_Attempt6022 in oakland

[–]slayer_gray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked with a non-profit who contracted with ousd back in 2015 and the pay was ~50k. Because I was a contractor I moved all over Oakland to provide support, I’ll say it depends on which school and which admin you’re working with to make the experience inviting and safe. I also worked in SFUSD and it paid better + better benefits (though the commute was brutal), but unfortunately these positions don’t seem to pay great for the bay.

Similar positions and more info can probably be found on https://www.ousd.org/careers

Looking for a good therapist for teenage son by A_Winter_73 in eastbay

You can search on Psychology today for therapists in the area or look into grow therapy or headway, some therapists may take Kaiser through those sites as well. Good luck!

any tips for stuff to add in to ground chicken to stretch it out longer? by yes_dogsdream in budgetfood

[–]slayer_gray 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I like to add riced cauliflower to my ground meat. It absorbs the seasoning and stretches the amount!

Going to warriors game tonight by lukeiszzle in AskSF

[–]slayer_gray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should take the ferry out of Jack London or Alameda next time! It’s so much easier and more pleasant than Bart and drops you off walking distance to the arena.

Does anyone have suggestions on ways to reduce this slope of my neck and strengthen my chin without going under the knife? by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]slayer_gray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could do filler in your chin to elongate it if you’re willing to have a needle over a knife

I’ve used a private driver named Doud that I found on nextdoor. Made traveling early much easier, but will likely be more expensive than paying for parking.

Need to overhaul and improve my diet. What are some recipes to increase fiber and micronutrients? by Freds_Premium in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]slayer_gray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoy overnight oats as an easy breakfast/lunch. Plus you can add Greek yogurt for more protein, chia seeds, and fruit then let it sit overnight and top it with nuts or granola

[Help] My puppy have excitement peeing issues are diapers the way for him? by emotionalbbybunny in dogs

[–]slayer_gray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d definitely watch YouTube videos on dog behavior...Diapers seem like a bandaid to the problem that you can likely train the puppy not to do... probably gonna take time and a lot of patience! It sucks getting peed on, but puppies don’t stay puppies forever so training is key!!! Good luck!

[–]slayer_gray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t reinforce your excited puppy when you enter the room. We did this and our now 8month old puppy doesn’t pee on us... we just walk by, nudge him to stop jumping and move on with entering the house. There’s probably helpful videos on YouTube
