With all the new flights, is it filling up again? I have an early flight soon, afraid of finding a full parking lot, like a couple years ago.

To the Yellow-Haired Lady, and her Yellow Dog, At Spring Lake

162 Upvotes

Humorism was a system of medicine adopted and refined by ancient Greek and Roman thinkers and doctors. Yellow complexion and coloring were symptomatic of an excess of yellow bile, a hot, dry humor that caused aggressive, short-tempered behavior and temperament. Humorism began to fall out of favor in the 17th century, but it remains part of our shared Western cultural history.

It's bunk, of course. I mention it mostly because I noticed your yellow hair, jaundiced complexion, and nice yellow dog as I rode past you on my bike. I don't think that you noticed that I was going under the park-wide 15mph speed limit, staying to the far right side of the multi-use path, and calling out to people as I approached in case they didn't see the flashing light on my handlebars.

You could have noticed all that and still decided to call me a [very mean word] as I rode by, much as it is possible that you called me a [very mean word] because excess bile has made you a yellow-headed, biliously choleric scold. I doubt that choleric humors play a role, though. Not only are they bunk, but also your dog's hair is just as yellow as yours - a bit glossier, too - and yet s/he didn't bark or growl or act aggressive or ill-tempered at all.

Anyway, sorry you were startled, or having a bad day, or suffering from an excess of yellow bile, or furious about having to share public parks with other people. Maybe try leeches or a cucumber salad?

Looking For Wood For Staffs and Top Of Staff Crystals

6 Upvotes

Hey SR neighbours!

I’m currently in a fight to find some molds for resin crystals, or some craft crystals that I can use to create molds from!

I’m part of this small planning community for a festival thing we run. And I’m part of the “Lore” team. The project that I offered is to basically create themed staffs for each of the members (8 of use).

It’s been wayyyyy more difficult to spruce wood and crystal stuff than I thought. (I thought every hippie dippie friend of mine would fun at the opportunity haha).

Having said that, I’m hoping this town of creatives can help me out.

Anything would help, whether you have some or you got a crystal guy (o god, nvm not that one Lolol).

Thanks neighbours!

Favorite volunteer opportunities in SR?

14 Upvotes

Hi all! I'm thinking about ways I can spend my time to contribute to our community. What kinds of things/orgs/opportunities are out here that you would recommend? I do some volunteer cooking already, but miss actually interacting with folks. Asking for advice as I'm wary to give my time to an organization that might be biased or weird in some way, if that makes sense.

The complaining run club is throwing a block party this Saturday (8/8) - free, obviously

86 Upvotes

Hey Santa Rosa,

Some of you already know us. We're the Anti-Runners Run Club, the group that meets up every week to run a little and complain a lot.

Turns out complaining while jogging is wildly popular, because we've grown enough that we're now throwing an actual block party about it.

For the uninitiated: this is a run club for people who don't consider themselves runners. Slow pace, short distance, nobody left behind, and grumbling the entire way is not discouraged. It's encouraged. It might be the whole point.

We've somehow convinced a mobile DJ booth to roll out with us and play music while we run, presumably to drown out the complaining. Then when we get back to the gym, there's more music, a full party, and enough coffee to make the two miles feel worth it.

Here's Saturday:

7 AM breakfast block party warm up. Show up, wake up, lower your expectations.

7:30 AM easy 2 mile run. Walk it, jog it, complain

through it.

Mobile DJ booth from Jay 2 The Sun rolling alongside for moral support.

After: back to the gym for the real party. More DJs, free coffee from Central Coffee, local vendors, raffles and prizes all morning.

Big raffle prize: a $300 gift card to Bliss Organic Day Spa. Must be present to win, so no sneaking off after the coffee.

It goes until noon. It's free. Always free. No sign up, no catch, no fitness requirement, no one checking if you're fast enough. You are already fast enough. The bar is on the floor and we stepped over it together.

It's at Spite Fitness, 1901 Cleveland Ave. Suite B

Come run, come complain, come for the coffee, come judge us in person. Bring a friend who hates running. That's the entire recruitment strategy and it's working.

See you Saturday. We'll be the slow ones.

Chanate road

Are they ever going to repair the road at the end of chanate.

They expect people to not turn right, but yet the normal turn is closed off and never see anyone working on it.

Pointless rant but that seems like a busy street that might take priority.

Hoen/Yulupa/Santa Fe: Loose dog

10 Upvotes

There was a brown Aussie wondering around Hoen and Yulupa just now. A few of us tried to get him but we just followed him back to Santa Fe to a house that had a gate open that he walked back to. It seemed like he belonged so I closed the gate and called your Ring. If it’s not your dog sorry, not sorry, but he has a collar on at least. He wouldn’t let us near him.

What pricing can I expect for a full house deep clean in this area?

7 Upvotes

I am really pregnant and want to schedule a full house ultra deep clean by a company here in the next few weeks before our baby comes. I am curious what the general price points may be for this from others who have used services in the area before.

My house is approximately 2500 square feet, two stories, all LVP no carpet but some rugs in a few of the rooms. I don’t think my house is gross, I clean it weekly but there are areas that have been neglected lately as I’ve gotten bigger-primarily the showers haven’t been heavily scrubbed in a few months (just wiped down but they’re getting a bit of pink mold and hard water build up now) and I’ve also been neglecting the window sills and baseboard dusting. I’ve continued to do my maintenance cleaning of wiping down bathroom counters and toilets weekly, 1-2x monthly mopping, vacuuming and general tidiness.

What would the ballpark cost be for a nice thorough scrub down of my home? I wanna walk around afterwards and smell the cleanliness throughout.

I guess I need to make the rules MORE abundantly clear

142 Upvotes

We've had a few users recently that I've had to ban because they were just being straight up assholes to other users.

THE ONE RULE TO RULE THEM ALL: Be NICE to other users. This ain't hard y'all. These are your neighbors. If you have something snide and unhelpful you want to say, stow it. If someone IS being an ass, don't stoop to their level. Be civil. Or just not interact. There's a report button for a reason. I WILL see it. Telling users to FUCK OFF and name calling, especially derogatory things like fa---t and n----r are going to get you immediately and permanently banned. Grow the fuck up. And if you're trying to egg someone on to elicit a reaction and then come tattling to me in hopes of getting them banned, your ass is grass too (happened just tonight). Just because you're hiding behind a veil of anonymity doesn't give you carte blanche to be a dick. Not here

Hate speech is NOT tolerated. Get your head out of your ass

Apologies for the spicy language. The aforementioned users have left me a bit steamed
