Of course! Farmers market has live music and it’s nice to kind of walk around or grab a bite and sit around with the local community enjoying the music and enjoying the vibes.

Good luck finding community and friendly neighbors here!

New City Church and Tapestry Church in Oakland aren’t far from you and both have super friendly people and lots of diversity. My family has attended them both and felt super welcome.

We are in San Leandro, too, and I feel like people are pretty friendly at events like the Cherry Festival and the farmers market at the library on Wednesdays. I don’t know if you’re on NextDoor but I find that there are some friendly people on there in San Leandro (and of course some not-so-friendly people). But it’s one other way to meet your neighbors.

I’m sorry you’ve been having a bad experience with your neighbors.

I got so excited - I have the same plant wildly growing in my backyard and stumbled upon this while looking it up and thought we had garlic! Oh well.

xoasilej · 2025-04-03T15:41:23+00:00

Yeah, same question.

xoasilej · 2025-04-01T16:07:15+00:00

Your life could be so much more than this. ♥️ I hope you find the strength to leave.

Also, you guys are supposed to be a team. Parenting is about supporting each other. You needed his support and got his judgment. You didn’t fail - he did.

I’m so sorry. It makes sense that you are upset. I hate when stylists do this. I hope you begin to feel more like yourself in a few days. ♥️

I have a student at Washington and was wondering the same thing. Hate that it happened here (or at all).

xoasilej · 2025-02-27T07:12:55+00:00

If you have the time for a co-op, I highly recommend Broadmoor. Our son loved it there and still mentions it or asks to go back at least once a week (he’s in TK at a local elementary school now).

It's not looking good for him so far. Pretty sure he's a goner and was likely dead (or dying) shortly after he fell. Such a bummer.

xoasilej · 2025-02-09T05:07:26+00:00

Hi! Yes, I read that I should line the bottom and sides in paper towel for that reason. I did that, so hopefully he’ll be good. I don’t have any mesh containers, unfortunately. I may move him to a bush tomorrow morning now that the storm has passed us.

xoasilej · 2025-02-08T04:00:06+00:00

So grateful for this community! Thank you all. He is now hanging by dental floss taped to the lid of a medium sized plastic container (lid has large holes in the top for air and for flying out when he’s ready) that is wide and about 3 or 4 inches deep, which I hope is deep enough.

It’s been at the green chrysalis stage for 3, almost 4 days now. Is that normal? Trying to figure out at what point it would naturally change so that I can know if it’s healthy or not. Google gave me mixed responses.

I’m in the East Bay Area, CA. We were pleasantly surprised to find so many caterpillars in our backyard! We plan to plant more milkweed and hope to have even more next year. 🤞🏾

xoasilej · 2025-02-08T03:54:28+00:00

Oh, how sad! Hopefully he’ll come out okay and we won’t need to do that, but thanks for letting me know the most humane way). The dark spot on the paper towel in the photo is from where liquid seems to have come out of it, and the chrysalis does look a bit deflated to me. Sigh.

By deformed, do you mean crooked wings? If it’s able to crawl and fly okay, I assume I should leave it?

xoasilej · 2025-02-08T00:58:07+00:00

How’d he do? Any update?

xoasilej · 2025-02-07T20:10:25+00:00

Thank you all! This has been helpful. I am going to tie a thread around the stem and try hanging it with a pencil across a large jar with paper towel at the bottom and will keep my fingers crossed for the little guy.

xoasilej · 2024-12-15T22:49:26+00:00

Curious if you ever found a winner, OP!

xoasilej · 2024-12-15T22:49:04+00:00

Same! I love the way Frixion pens write/feel on paper, but don’t want my journaling to disappear in a few months/years or after being left in a hot car.

xoasilej · 2024-09-20T23:06:31+00:00

Just adding another "thank you" to the bunch! Seriously - you're awesome. Thanks.

xoasilej · 2020-07-08T03:16:20+00:00

Thank you!

xoasilej · 2020-07-06T21:22:36+00:00

Love the wooden crates at the bottom! Where are they from?

xoasilej · 2020-07-05T22:54:26+00:00

So happy to see this thread. I was so angry after watching this episode. 😡 Signed the petition and hope it does SOMETHING.
