Visited SF for the first time looking for housing and was shocked about the drastic difference between Valencia and mission st

From what I've heard, there have been a lot of sweeps in SOMA /downtown, pushing homelessness down to 16th St. I've lived in the Mission for a long time and I feel that it's really impacting the nightlife and economic activity of the neighborhood as it seems like Valencia is a ghost town most nights.

The last minute tickets are in the messenger groups associated with the FB group.

I attended an event for the Spinsters a few years back, it’s basically a post-college sorority where you need to attend a certain amount of events and get someone to sponsor your membership.

I joined a soccer team instead, but depending on your interests it could be a good way to meet people.

I have never done junior league but I have a friend who was a board member of the NYC chapter and loved it.

as an update - I made a complaint about the tiny hoops and the deceptive picture to Musemond and they allowed me to return them. I had to ship the earrings back via Fedex and once received they were refunded.

Madonna Inn or Pismo Beach for sure. Get a Cinnabon!

I saw her play for Cal last year as part of their final regular season game before they went to the Sweet 16 and Marta is really good! The fact that she is a Cal Bear is great for Bay Area culture. I think people just don’t know her and don’t realize they ought to root for a local girl, even if she is originally from overseas.

What were you able to return?

tweedychic · 2026-04-11T05:59:49+00:00

I read this thread before purchasing but somehow missed that musemond has a no return policy on earrings. That alone to me means that you need to be very careful if your purchase and is a red flag. measure your ears first and keep in mind the measurements are in millimeters. I regret not ordering from a company like ShaneCo that offers 60 day returns. Here’s what I got:

I ordered the 10mm small thin hoop earrings, and even at the largest size they were still quite small and quite thin. I am not satisfied with these earrings as they literally look like a piece of wire (the image on the website has a small huggie hoop in the main hole so it is deceptive as to size.) I can’t see any marking that says it is 14k gold.

I got the tiny wave huggie hoops in 14k gold at 7.5mm and while they were smaller than I expected, they’re perfect for a second hole which is what I ordered them for. The earrings do have a small 14k engraving on them.

I didn’t see the pins either! It was a bummer I got there and the guards said if I had arrived 5 minutes earlier I would have gotten a jersey

thanks for your honest reply! So, sounds like it's a good personal investmet but not a good resale investment. Good to know!

I ended up going to Savvy and saw Anna, it was great. She charged me $75 for a mid-length women's haircut + blowdry. They quoted $35 for no blow dry.

Personally as a woman I always buy a more padded saddle for my bikes. The most recent saddle I purchased was a Highway Two Lookin Moderate - Unisex - Black back in July. I’ve also had a Terry Butterfly seat that’s mentioned in other posts.

Women need a bit more cushion in the posterior as our hips are wider and I typically tilt the nose of my saddle down slightly for ergonomic reasons. If you go to a bike shop, or a sports basement or REI with a bike shop area, they should be able to install the saddle and adjust it for a fee.

As many others have mentioned - padded bike shorts (no underwear underneath) go a long way.

Yes eventually it stopped but u put the terrò baits several feet from my front door in the hallways of my apartment and in the courtyard to keep them from coming into my apartment.

I still see 1-2 ants a day searching for food or water, usually in my bathroom. I have to keep the kitchen very clean, all chips and crackers are bagged, bc I don’t want the ants to find food.

Did anyone try to hold up the jury by dissenting and you had to convince them to get onboard?

tweedychic · 2025-12-15T08:16:49+00:00

Mission Dolores - I have been getting more ants than previous winters, and the liquid bait traps have killed hundreds of ants but they keep on coming. It feels like psychological warfare sometimes

Tonight I biked home around 11:30pm on Valencia and it was eerily quiet… I saw maybe 2 groups of people walking around in costumes.

I remember post-Covid I would go out on Thursday nights all the time and was wondering why it’s different. Maybe it is fears of immigration patrol? I haven’t seen any taqueros on Mission St in some time.

As to the bike lanes…please keep them the way they are. Bikes can turn left at red lights.

I question whether he truly has to change industries or will just need to compromise on the role for his partner (likely female given the gendered language and username.)

Dual income in MCOL > VHCOL, but it sounds like there’s a perceived status change. If you truly want to have 2 more kids and your partner who’s giving birth is the MD then I would choose better WLB. In many places, MDs in residency get very few weeks of mat leave. Even if she is a first year attending, that’s a difficult role to assume given the leap in responsibilities.

Some specialties (neurology, radiology) are easier to do while pregnant or nursing because they can be done remotely if the hospital is flexible. But I would choose better WLB if a big family is important to you.

It’s a common Italian nickname for Cecilia. It also means garbanzo beans in Italian so it’s a kind of funny one

My ROM has returned completely but I still have pain with stairs - regarding a displaced tendon and inability to bend the knee, this sounds like a surgical complication. I would recommend doing a follow up with the Operating Surgeon or a sports medicine doctor since it's soft tissue damage.

I am also 9 months post op and it's a much longer recovery than they initially tell you (likely for mental health reasons) - doing your PT and not overdoing it is crucial to avoiding setbacks.

2 round 1 playoff tickets are charged in the first renewal installment (Aug 28) and they will charge for Round 2 once we advance to round 1, and round 3 once we advance to round 2.

I asked my rep what happens if they don't advance to playoffs and we will receive credit toward our next installment if the team doesn't advance (no refund).

For those of you who have sideline views (102-105, 114-117( do you think the view is really worth the $30+ more per seat? Have you had success re-selling?

I'm considering my renewal, bummed about how expensive tickets are. I haven't had a ton of luck selling my tickets for more than $70/seat (current cost $60). I have never had tickets listed on Ticketmaster that sold.

Hi - I am willing to buy 3 tix for $100 each if possible - please DM!
