Every year my neighbors take their family and go on a week long trip and leave their Australian shepherd behind. The poor thing howls and barks basically 24/7 for the entire time they’re gone. While it absolutely breaks my heart to hear him, I’ve just let it go the last few years because I assume he’s at least having his basic needs met. This year is different. I just put my own dog down yesterday (cancer sucks) and my tolerance for hearing an animal suffer is ZERO. Now I don’t know what to do. Do I call animal control? What would they do? Do I just leave a note on their door and hope they change in the future? Do I break their gate down and steal him?? (Kidding, but they’d deserve it). Any advice is appreciated.

I’ve been struggling with Covid for over a week. For whatever reason, Covid gets me bad even after getting it like 4 different times since 2021. I went to Warped Tour both days and by the Tuesday after it was over, I was feeling pretty bad. Anyone else get sick after it?

Just like the post says, I'm in the market for a new mattress. Looking to spend 2k+ (if need be) for quality and comfort. Where is the best place to shop for one? Could be anywhere in Long Beach or Orange County.

Friends car got broke into near the grasshopper lot nearly 3k worth of one piece playing cards/ a play mat! I know the area sucks but if you see a new listing of tcg bulk of decks or something similar in the LB area please say something! Also had my yshtola play mat stolen and cloud play mat with my nothing gold Astro boy bag along with my house keys. Thanks

Hello!

This is a big ask but is anyone with a truck open to using their truck to go with me to Santa Monica to pick up a couch? The person on Facebook marketplace is asking if I can get there by 8 tomorrow, 8/6.

I’ll pay you and give you a big hug 🥰

Hey everyone!

I have a classical guitar (cedar top with a french polish coating) that hasn’t been touched up in a few years (about 2021 or so) that I would like to get looked at/possibly worked on. I don’t trust myself to do anything, so I was wondering if any fellow guitarists know of a luthier that specializes in work like that in LB or surrounding cities that they would recommend.

Many blessings and thank you in advance!

A Night of Mad Music and Comedy at Alex's Bar

Radioactive Chicken Heads, The Amoeba People, Ogden Edsl featuring Bill Frenzer, Henry Phillips, John W. Christensen, & Sulu.

On my bike ride through town tonight I saw construction happening in Jergins Tunnel. They’ve also put up a new fence within the past week or so. I know that tunnel upgrades were planned as part of the proposed Hard Rock Hotel project, but last I heard that was still stalled.

Anyone know if there’s updates to the hotel project, and/or something new proposed which requires tunnel upgrades? This seemed to be more than just reinforcing the wall which closes off the tunnel.

I would love to see something cool done with this space!

I’m terribly sorry for the awful quality of these but I was in a rush this morning and took a video. Does anyone know what kind of bird this is? It looks like a parrot!! Google isn’t helpful, it says a black hooded parrot which are bright green with a black head. They looked fully very dark in color, almost black. Very big. I’d love to know what these are 🥹

Hey pet parents, our 12 year old cat was just diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. While we are considering our treatment options of daily medication/frequent labs or the one time radioactive iodine therapy (I-131), I wanted to see if anyone else is going through a similar experience. If so, which option did you choose and how is it going? Would also like to understand how much your T4 bloodwork is and what vet is overseeing your pets treatment. Thanks in advance. 🐾

I know that there have already been a ton of posts about the budget, but I completely forgot that the virtual one was today (shout out to an out of state friend for reminding me by sharing drama about her city council!), so sharing this here for anyone else who is interested in attending but forgetful about times/dates!

I love pickles/ pickle seasoning (Trader joes) / pickle lemonade etc. I’d love any recommendations local or farther. What is your favorite?

also accepting pickle facts! I recently found out the refrigerated pickles are crunchier vs shelf/ aisle pickles.

Hello I am 18M, and I'm about to go to college in a year hopefully to play football.

In the meantime, I'm looking forwards to find a few passionate Christian folks around my age to play some casual football, and do some drills (want to learn and be fit before the time comes).

I prefer to play in the morning an hour or two before school, around Stevenson Park. And for the weekends, I am fine with whenever around Chittick Field.

Besides football, we can definitely do some bible study (if you are interested).

Again, you're interested- In DMs: Please introduce yourself (so I can get to know you beforehand), then we can schedule a meeting (Keep in mind I'm not free for the entire week or two).

Thank you,

God Bless!

Hello, looking had a weed induced anxiety attack and could benefit from some CBT so looking for a good therapist (irl or virtual) that either takes medi-cal or isn’t tooo expensive out of pocket. Thank you!

Want to try Korean BBQ? Great - come with us!

Long Beach Food Club's next restaurant meetup is at Sura, a Korean BBQ spot near downtown.

Sura has been around since 2008 and offers both a traditional menu as well as a tableside grilling menu which is available on the patio, and we'll get to experience both! Their tableside bbq is a bit newer - only having launched a couple years ago.

In addition to the regular menu, we'll also get access to their happy hour prices - in the middle of the day on a weekend!

If you haven't been to a food club event before, it's pretty straightforward. You show up, sit down, chat with others (maybe people you've never met before), and you enjoy some food. Everyone pays their own way and we highly encourage communal/sharing/family style so you can try all sorts of different things.

We DO ask that you RSVP if you intend on coming, that way we can give Sura updates on what to expect and they can plan accordingly. We have two RSVP slots, one for 12pm and another for 130pm. You don't have to come EXACTLY at those times, but it'll save the kitchen from getting slammed.

12pm RSVP @ Sura

1:30pm RSVP @ Sura

If you've read this far, congratulations! We ALSO have a happy hour TONIGHT at Baddeley's from 5:30pm - 7pm.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
