Thanks, Barry, for all your efforts to support our community by allowing us a space to share, and learn from each other. I'm really sad at this ending, but wish you the very best. Good people like...

Just had my hair cut today at Olde Time Barber shop in Cotati. There's only one person working in that barber shop at this time because of Covid. We both wore masks, everything was very clean. He...

Do you have any numbers for Forestville and Sebastopol? Thanks.

From Jimmy Fallon 4/22/20:
Jane Goodall on How Disrespect for Nature Fueled the Coronavirus Pandemic.

I think I'm in shock a little after reading this post. Where do you get your information? What are your sources? Have you been to any of the hospital ERs to witness for yourself how bad this virus...

I think Sebastopol's Community Market was the first grocery I saw to take action; if memory serves, the morning after the Stay at Home order. Pacific Market and others are doing early morning opening...

49090Please note that Sebastopol Hardware Center won't be having Senior Wednesday or Super Saturday in the month of April.

They are trying to keep the crowds down to keep us all safe.

Also...

But please, can everyone be polite in their "social distancing". I work retail; I saw some sad behavior this weekend in the waiting lines, especially toward seniors, and toddlers. Really, does toilet...

Does anyone know why there were so many problems with people being at the wrong voting places yesterday? I live in downtown Forestville. We've voted at the Church in the past, but I had heard it...

I stopped shopping downtown Santa Rosa (5th Street area) when I got a parking ticket 5 years ago. I parked on the street, close to the business instead of the garage, because it was pouring down...

Spirit Rock, but it's in San Geronimo, Marin County. If there is something like Spirit Rock around the Sebastopol area, I'd also like to know.

A friend whose kitten has been suffering severe asthma for months discovered that one of the triggers was the plastic flap on her kitty door; it smelled of petroleum. My cat suffers from asthma, but...

Can anyone tell me what people are picketing about in Forestville by the school? I've tried to read the signs, but can't tell quick enough what's going on. I saw a sign that said 33% of...

Home Depot was carrying it when I was there last, 3-4 months ago. I tried to talk a customer out of buying 4 containers, but no luck. Even my landlord here in this mobile home park uses it unless you...

https://www.waccobb.net/forums/waccobb/keep90days/2019-04-04_11-11-30.pngIt was so nice to see them open today; I missed their opening, but had heard. I didn't know that Wednesdays are their 10%...

After reading the comments on this topic, I found I was holding my breath, my heart starting to race, and suddenly I stopped, and questioned what's happening in this conversation that we can't all...

Some Forestville folks didn't even know there was an election happening, and those who did thought only Sebastopol got to vote. Those I've spoken to never received advanced mail-in ballots, myself...

I find this post very disturbing. Did this really happen as described, with not even a warning to get personal items? Also, I can't imagine SR police laughing at this situation. Did anyone on Wacco...

Protect those little sperms, don't let anyone stop them; much more important than protecting an alive child or adult who is asking for asylum in our country, just as all of our immigrant ancestors...

43794Any old time Asimov science fiction fans out there? I haven't read Asimov's Foundation series in over 30 years, but lately find myself thinking about similarities between Trump's sudden...

A lot of people with asthma and/or chemical sensitivity have an allergic type reaction to essential oils. I personally can't tolerate any essential oils, no matter how "chemical free" they claim to...

Damage, I truly love your humor. I have been laughing for the last 5 minutes, rereading your post, a much needed relief, so thanks. By the way, how does a man from Saturn or Jupiter move, as opposed...

I just don't get the point you, Damage, are trying to make here. First, not sure where the "leftist kook" comment came from--what exactly made her a "leftist kook" in your eyes? I heard she was a...

I have to disagree with Edward on this one, getting rid of the 2nd amendment. Although my family has experienced four gun violence events in a two generational history, people have a right as...

When I was 12, an uncle, one of my father's brothers, was murdered when he came home after work and sat down to count the $ from his grocery store business that day. A man hiding in his bedroom...

Thanks Podfish for your comments. I also see all the actions being taken and applaud them and participate when I can. I've just been asking myself lately how we can have conversation with those who...

I understand Damage is letting this thread go, (I will miss his humor and input), but if anyone is still interested in furthering the conversation about finding solutions that will help us come...

Wow, I hope this isn't the "end of the story", so that some conversation might happen to move the dialogue along, but honestly, I don't even know how to respond or unwrap all the things you've said...

I'm a little slow mentally these days, but am not sure what your comments mean, so just want to ask for clarity. What do you mean the kids "are being used by the media"? Are you suggesting that the...

Yes, you are probably right. Regardless, it's just my own personal protest to a view (the lovely cement parking lot in the center of town) that I didn't want to see. I'm funny that way; I feel like...

There are some assumptions here: that everyone with physical challenges has a handicap placard; that there are always open parking spaces; that everyone has friends available and able to drop them...

I have had difficulty finding parking several times during the day, both in the current parking lot, and along the streets surrounding that area. Walking is great, unless you have physical...

While we watch amazing folks helping those in desperate straits in TX, I just want to say we have our own kind and wonderful people here as well. Thanks to the Latina mother and her young son, who...

Someone across from Harmony on 116 has had signs posted for months about Hillary Clinton being so awful, being a "liar". When I saw their sign saying "Noreen is a traitor", after trying to decide...

When I started reading all the comments about the smells, I hoped to learn more about what is really happening. What causes the smell, what about it causes some people health problems. I really...

Lately I've been finding a need to reread, "Nonviolent Communication, A Language of Compassion" by Marshall B. Rosenberg. In doing so, I see how I've fallen out of the habit of listening to and...

This is a tough one. I lived in the San Geronimo valley for 20 years in an old converted barn. The only source of heat was a wood stove. The place had insulation, but the windows were old, and lots...

Laurel Brody in Sebastopol was a gem of a find. Great healer, educator, and good person.

Watching that summary from her, I found myself almost purring in satisfaction for an entire hour. After months of conservative craziness, and fearful that nothing had changed in all these years in...

An FYI if you happen to not know. I discovered last weekend when I brought a lily plant home to brighten up my veggie garden, that both the leaves and the flower are poisonous to cats. Not dogs or...
