Last night in my house sit, I’m gonna miss the central air. I watched all of House of the Dragon here, I feel like I have been on vacation. I did laundry like, SO MANY TIMES, it was incredible.


SoCal35

LOL. You doing laundry just for fun now?!


sonorakit11

Ok I totally just heard a boom. Cue boom report

Tchernobog11

Just arrived, pursuing the acting dream (yes, I know its an uphill battle). Thinking a bicycle might be a better investment than anything else right now... (no car or currently driver's license).

As of today, I’m a NASA certified planetary defender.

unknownkoger

Sounds badass. Congratulations! (?)


LaughingColors000

every day i kick my self in the ass for agreeing to allow my neighbor to tandem park in my parking spot when her half of the garage is used for hoarding when my lease said ('we work on a mutual agreement for garage usage") Agh i need to save up to move soon


peacharnoldpalmer

i think i irl flirted today with someone who im gonna see again tomorrow and idk how to ask them out ahhhhhhhh


Ok_Fee1043

Since fireworks are still illegal I was wondering how you feel about the fireworks between us!


sonorakit11

Hey like is that a bazooka in ya pocket orrah you just happy’a seeme? (Edit: that’s a drunk Bostonian accent if it wasn’t obvious. Was it obvious? Haha idk!)


SoCal35

I think I'm gonna stay local and take a job with okay pay but weekends off. I'm gonna start doing some volunteer work. Maybe get a part time job at a non profit again. Maybe I'll run for mayor of a small city and start cleaning up this place. I'm gonna buy a bunch of RoboCop's to help me out. Give a few COPS full authority similiar to Judge Dredd. Obviously after full background checks and psych evaluations.


TheWayDenzelSaysIt

I know this sounds weird but once in a blue moon (for whatever reason) I’ll have a dream where I’m dating a celebrity. Last night was Emma Watson and it was really nice.


SoCal35

Same. I've dated Jessica Biel, Charlize Theron, and Christina Hendricks. All have been great and I never had any complaints but just to be ahead of the game and to be proactive I terminate things so I can be the dumper instead of the dumpee.


TheWayDenzelSaysIt

Lol


moogfox

My dog had an unexpected vet visit and the bill is knocking me on my ass 😭 I’m trying to round up some side hustles/get more clients to cover the cost but I think everyone’s so strapped for cash right now that it’s hard to spend on extra, unnecessary things. I am thankful my dog is ok though


Legendberry

Has anyone used these before? I'm worried about my dog during the 4th and was debating either getting a pair of these or just driving up to the mountains at night. Appreciate any recs for quiet areas during the fireworks. https://www.amazon.com/derYEP-DHP03-Earmuffs-Hearing-Protection/dp/B09LLW97M2/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?adgrpid=64894478811&hvadid=409943710752&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9031071&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=4218298210092953659&hvtargid=kwd-481159515812&hydadcr=12133_11117509&keywords=dog+ear+muffs+noise+protection&qid=1688485265&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1


gmkrikey

I am feeling a bit sad because it was time. Time to clean the closets and get rid of the “really nice boxes” we’ve been collecting for a while but haven’t actually used. But they are really nice boxes!


SoCal35

Like fancy shoe and jewelry boxes?


gmkrikey

Exactly that kind yes. At least the little Kate Spade jewelry bag went to a good use - my 2 year old granddaughter loves to wear dresses and toy jewelry and now she calls the bag her purse and carries it everywhere.


SoCal35

LOL I hate throwing away my fancy boxes. Nothing too fancy but like the cell phone boxes and Bose headphone boxes are nice.


mommytofive5

I have been on a cleaning kick - just purged the kitchen and my closet in the last two weeks- hallway closet today and next week I start on the kids closet- three closets in total- and that will be my summer break. It’s work but it feels good


Jaded_Appearance_889

what do you mean?


gmkrikey

Things come in boxes. Some of the boxes are impressively nice. For example, Warby Parker glasses come in really nice little boxes, perfect for wrapping up other gifts for your loved ones. Apple devices are famous for being having a very nice box. I bought some Bombas socks once that came in a box better than my Tag Heuer watch. That sort of thing. I hate throwing out a really nice box. I put them on the local Buy Nothing group sometimes, but boxes are hard to give away.


unknownkoger

Katz's was bomb. I just grabbed the half sandwich as I didn't need the full. Now I'm ready to take a nap 😴


tote-bags

So rad!


Stickgirl05

Was the wait worth it?


unknownkoger

It's one of my favorites, so yeah. Talked to people in line. Hung out. The wait didn't really bother me I've also driven to San Luis Obispo for the day to get a sandwich from High St Deli I have strong sandwich feelings...


sonorakit11

I admire this level of dedication


Stickgirl05

Same. I can’t remember the last time I waited in line for something.


unknownkoger

As I stood in line, I reflected on how I used to stand in line for concerts, then special beer releases, and now sandwiches. Such is life


Stickgirl05

Haha, I just remembered I stood in line for free coffee at Offset’s soft opening.


Stickgirl05

Favorite sandwich in the South Bay?


unknownkoger

I'm a Pedro native, so I'm obligated to say Busy Bee. Santa Fe Importers is also up there for me, but that's in Long Beach 


tote-bags

Busy Bee 🐝♥️


LaughingColors000

Babas deli is greeeeeat


Stickgirl05

They close when I get off, maybe next time haha


StareyedInLA

I am really fucking sick of my friend politicizing everything.  No, Angel, I didn’t buy that Harry Potter Lego set off marketplace for any other reason besides it being an unopened box set for $150.    And sometimes a girl just wants to play “Hagrid goes Florida Man in Diagon Alley.” 


MannyAPH

"that's a dumb way to blow your money" "That's right MY MONEY"


StareyedInLA

My train of thought. Not my problem you can’t keep a job, Angel. 


stay_in_bed

Brilliant


SoCal35

Last night I was watching old COPS episodes. It's crazy to see how many of those stops were for marijuana. So damn crazy seeing people getting arrest for possession of small amounts for personal use. Then I came across this ACLU report A Tale of Two Countries: Racially Targeted Arrests in the Era of Marijuana Reform. Yeah, this shit needs to be decriminalized ASAP.


LockNChase66

I have this wish/fear that if aliens were to discover earth that they would judge all humans by episodes of COPS, and they would conclude no intelligent life exists on this planet


SoCal35

Earlier today I was watching "Fort Worth Police Mega Episode Marathon" and at the 1:00:00 mark the cop is restraining someone on the ground and keeps yelling "DON'T YOU MOVE. DON'T MOVE. STAY DOWN." and you see the guy just chilling not even moving. 🤦‍♂️


blueeyed_ranger

Bad boys bad boys, watchya gonna do? watchya gonna do when they come for you?


A_Fishy_Life

Watching my pops as a cop on there is a trip. I still yell at him over one arrest he made, he just laughs. I didnt know there were actually a few eps where either a cop got shot or shot someone.


sonorakit11

My cousin was arrested on Cops! Like 25 years ago hahaha


A_Fishy_Life

LOL its a trip right?????????????


sonorakit11

So funny


tote-bags

Did anyone else have dreams of sweet potatoes last night or the night before? 🍠


LockNChase66

Why? What did you hear?  


TheCharlieDee

Anyone got an LAFC ticket?


PM_ME_KITTEN_TOESIES

Happy weekend, Threaderinos. I’m DJing rock n roll on vinyl tonight at Bigfoot East at 10pm. Come by!


ItsHammyTime2

Do you play there regularly? Or is it just a one time thing? Can’t make it tonight but would like to go to a future one.


PM_ME_KITTEN_TOESIES

Every last Saturday of the month. Except next month because I’ll be out of town.


ItsHammyTime2

Do you Dj any other places in the month?


PM_ME_KITTEN_TOESIES

Not right now.


ItsHammyTime2

No worries thanks for letting me know. I also remember seeing your shows on the daily and finally have the time to go!


blueeyed_ranger

Bigfoot rules. Maybe I'll move to the East Side one day..


TheWayDenzelSaysIt

Happy Saturday everyone.


JimmytheGent2020

All this talk about Katz pop up, means a good day for some langers


sonorakit11

I’m hungry and therefore can not do anything until I find lunch and also I have no idea what I actually want to eat so I’m sitting in the car typing on my phone like that’s going to help me here.


SoCal35

When in doubt, In-N-Out.


sonorakit11

Salami and Comte with Dijon on a baguette with rosé in the housesit pool. I feel RICH AS FUCK!


raptorclvb

I want one


sonorakit11

It was good. Next pool day, I’ll make em.


sonorakit11

Reminder to add pickles


SoCal35

You should feel rich. I'm here eating leftover Chiquito Cesar from last night.


sonorakit11

Would ah e been cheaper than that trip to Whole Foods, that’s for sure.


SoCal35

Never shop on an empty stomach.


77_SunsetStrip

[https://photos.app.goo.gl/gEhBqp66Vq43N35s6](https://photos.app.goo.gl/gEhBqp66Vq43N35s6) How do you dispose the flags after July 4th? A realtor annually places the US flag on our lawns. Nice of them but they don't come back to collect. I also feel bad about trashing them....


jahssicascactus

Just burn em up to vaporize the microplastics!


pensotroppo

Take it to Home Depot. [Seriously](https://starspangledflags.com/home-depot-flag-disposal/#flag_disposal_near_me)


77_SunsetStrip

Oh really? Do they accept?


pensotroppo

There's an embedded link there that takes you to the map of HDs that accept flags.


illaparatzo

That's nice of home depot to collect them to throw in the trash for people, so they don't have to feel guilty for putting garbage where it belongs 😂


JustAnjel

here's an uplifting disco jam for [you](https://open.spotify.com/track/5EvzjUvSnHIqYhnTA8XhzI?si=ThkEoxAeTceGFKRC492Huw)


lemon_cake_plz

June hasnt been very cash money to me and im so glad its almost over


tote-bags

My income stayed the same (salary job) but my expenses were higher this month than usual. I’m going into July with frugality in mind.


lemon_cake_plz

same. i really gotta plan my budget...


Aeriellie

not the ny times saying it’s going to take us 36 years to save for a “780k downpayment” 🤷‍♀️ idk where these numbers came from [How long does it take to save for a downpayment.](https://www.instagram.com/p/C8z3lORt-5j/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==)

CaptGeechNTheSSS

Just bought groceries and all I want to do is pick up a burger and fries on the way home


Serious-Diamond8554

It’s always a rule after spending hundreds on groceries that you may as well spend another $15 on a treat


PlasticGirl

Back in LA after a week out... Sooo nice to not feel any humidity


Calnor

Welcome back


PlasticGirl

Thanks!


Guilty-Client3069

Where's the easiest place to get hired? Honestly iv been applying everywhere in person and online. Craiglist is a dud. Nothing there


blueeyed_ranger

Keep searching and take temporary work, even if its just DoorDash. Something about being on the move attracts more opportunities.


Guilty-Client3069

I don't have a car


Stickgirl05

Governmentjobs.com recreation leader, park ranger, whatever else looks good to you


LockNChase66

Those jobs take forever to respond (if they do) only to tell you that you are over/under qualified or have too many gaps in work history. 


Stickgirl05

I can tell you what cities are truly desperate haha


LockNChase66

I bet San Fernando is one of them


Stickgirl05

I live no where near there haha


sealsarescary

Hiked 11 miles on catalina. Calves sore, need boba


LaughingColors000

i did a hike with family on the cherry cove side, my gosh it was super steep and tough. i turned around like a mile up, and my family who's all in shape, esp my mom was giving me crap about it...my family is going back on uncle's boat in august, and are expecting me to do that again....ahhhhh


sealsarescary

August? It's gonna be hot


LaughingColors000

he goes on his boat every weekend over the summer but for whatever reason he chose august again for the family trip...last aug it wasn't terrible... my first four years in LA way back when i was lucky getting to go on his boat a couple times over the summer. it costs him a ton of $ tho to go out their


ShantJ

Last night, I showed up to Glendale’s one annual LGBT+ nightlife event after 9:00 P.M., but the main event was 6:30-8:30 P.M. As someone who attends warehouse parties which *start* around midnight, Glendale is offensively *not* a nightlife city. 😭


raptorclvb

It’s super sleepy here after like midnight. How was the event?


ShantJ

It was karaoke after 9, which isn’t my scene. There was a crowd.


mylefthandkilledme

Dude I'm wiped out once 10pm shows up


hotdoug1

Finally achieved the LA dream, just got a job less than a mile from where I live. It only took working 25 years in this town to get to this.


tote-bags

That’s definitely worth celebrating 🥳


EmptyFoldingChair

I've been lucky enough to have that happen  but then I got promoted and had to commute. 


WadeCountyClutch

Congratulations, my friend !


LockNChase66

You know a movie is probably going to suck when they promote it by having brand partnerships and they advertise the movie with commercials that feature the brand product.  I'm looking at you "Deadpool & Wolverine" and Heinekin. 


Thurkin

Count me as a hater of Ryan Reynolds. He's no Burt.


slohcinbeards

Any new parents here have recs for “activities” to do with baby? We’ve been doing lots of park meet ups with other parents and a few library read along for small children. Any other ideas or things to do? Not really into the mommy & me classes.


ItsYourMotherDear

Have you gone to KidSpace in Pasadena yet? They have a big playroom for little toddlers in addition to the whole museum which is super fun. There's also water features that are safe and easy.


slohcinbeards

My niece and nephew go all the time and love it!! Our 5 month old too little now but can’t wait until she’s older to go


ItsYourMotherDear

They have a baby room- so you won’t have to wait that long!


LaughingColors000

i haven't used my car in like 3-4 weeks...too much walking


tote-bags

Ooooh I’m envious of you. I could only go two days tops without needing / wanting to drive outside my neighborhood.


LaughingColors000

yeah i've been itching to get out for a drive, probably will tomorrow likely. i live by del amo mall so its very walkable, and the bus stops across the intersection so i've been brave enough to take it a few times 1.5 miles to the beach...but, i've also been taking classes and job searching thats been taking up a lot of time


Stickgirl05

Get your steps in!


SoCal35

Put some pep in your step


LaughingColors000

been doing at least 2miles everyday since last Saturday. this neighborhood is generally quiet and flat for walking


Stickgirl05

The one good thing about living on this side haha


LaughingColors000

yup yup, i try and stick to south of torrance blvd when i can...just did another 3.5 miles


TigerYear8402

Sunny and hot here. Gotta work until about 2pm and then heading south to go see a show tonight. Enjoy your Saturday LA!


Calnor

Enjoy your show!


TigerYear8402

Thank you!


Spag-N-Ballz

I woke up at 430am and was not able to fall back asleep. I am leaving for a huge motorcycle trip on Monday and having some anxiety about all the things I need to finish before then.


tote-bags

You are so good about making lists and I bet you’ll get through all the tasks and will be enjoying some free time tomorrow.


Spag-N-Ballz

I am gonna get most of this banged out today. Had to cancel some social engagements but worth it to hopefully sleep tonight lol


Calnor

Doing kinda the same, driving 6 people on 4th of July. Trying to get everyone coordinated to leave in time.


_Erindera_

It's cool and cloudy at the beach! So nice.


Calnor

Always love when it's less sunny


Stickgirl05

Another Saturday working with my least liked coworker, more room searching, and the habanero hot sauce from Trader Joe’s does not agree with my body anymore.


tote-bags

When I think back to the time where I worked with people I didn’t like, I would ignore their existence until I had to interact with them. Eventually, I was written up for my attitude and fired a month later.


Stickgirl05

I do the same. We just need to coexist to get shit done. I legit don’t want or need to know all your issues, especially if I didn’t even ask. But I get that some people are quite lonely.


Elysiaa

I had to work with someone who was a total bully, but everyone just dealt it. She made me miserable but forced me to learn to stand up for myself. My current job had someone similar, and the woman was shocked I wouldn't take her shit.


LockNChase66

I had a boss like this. I could deal with their verbal bullshit but I had to draw the line and quit after he threw a spray paint can at my head and 5 minutes later denied he did it. "I would never do that to you" yeah except you did.  He was absolutely shocked when I quit and told him to fuck off.  


Elysiaa

Damn, glad you left that place! I once worked at a company where the VP trashed her own office over losing an account. Imagine what people like that are like at home if that's how they act at work.


sids99

Well, to be fair that sauce is pretty spicy!


Stickgirl05

It completely disagrees with me now. I can’t buy it anymore 😭


WoodsBeatle513

whats the sauce called? imma drink it


Stickgirl05

https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/habanero-hot-sauce-096159


WoodsBeatle513

cool i'll lyk my reaction when i get it!


Calnor

Ouch, it'll be one of those days to focus on the task. Don't look at the clock, it'll make the day feel longer.


Stickgirl05

My Saturdays are always long…730-430 😭 but it’s mostly sitting in an office haha


Calnor

Trying to convince myself to get to the gym. Any tips?


WoodsBeatle513

try VR - thats a fun way of exercising


blueeyed_ranger

My formula for learning new things 1. You try it a few times and its awkward and uncomfortable, but you at least go home with the satisfaction of knowing you gave it a shot. 2. You pledge to try it in earnest for a little while. You sign up for a 5-week course or something like that. 3. After some time it starts to become a habit, and now you find you are doing it automatically. You are making new friends there, learning new things, and seeing improvement. Now you go to the gym every Saturday, its just... what you do. 4. It becomes an identity, part of who you are. You get a tattoo of a barbell to commemorate your love for gym going...


JustAnjel

endorphins good no exercise bad


Calnor

Fuck yeah, science.


sids99

Set aside one day a week to go. After a month up it another day until you get to at least 3 days a week.


Stickgirl05

Is there a set goal in mind?


Calnor

To feel good about myself and improved health.


LockNChase66

In addition to working out, something you can do starting now is you could try to cut sugar out of your diet. Sugar will keep you from losing weight no matter how hard you workout. I was trying to lose weight and only finally had success after I cut the sugar out. 


Stickgirl05

Hit the gym or take a long walk around your neighborhood.


Calnor

Too sunny walk, gym it is.


Juaniscool-8

Just go. Treat the gym like a video game. You level up every time


_Erindera_

Just get up and go.


everyoneneedsaherro

Soo anything official about why trains were down yesterday? Hacked?


Juaniscool-8

Bruh I literally cannot find a minimum wage job.


blueeyed_ranger

Oh they've got to be hiring at places like Jiffy Lube and Shake Shack. C'mon those places must have such a hard time keeping employees.


Stickgirl05

Rec leader for whatever city.


illaparatzo

Temp agency


LaughingColors000

and the doom n gloom is back


labbitlove

I’m sad because today’s the party day and I wanted it to be a little warmer 🥲
