I just want to take this opportunity to recommend Bill Hannant. He efficiently dealt with a CoveredCA / Kaiser mess that I found myself entangled in. He was recommended to me by a friend, and I...

I think the guy from Cotati is actually from Sebastopol...!

Sheesh! I'm female - I'm not offended. I think it sounds really interesting. Funny - I haven't participated on wacco for awhile - all the whining and "sensitivity" gets to me. Read the book! ...

<br><br><br><br>

Hmmm... Sounds interesting. I'll check this out - thanks!

Chalk one up for the underdog! Thanks for making my day, Edward!

[/B]
This made me smile. But where's the "chemistry"?! :Firework1:

I agree with everything you say, Tommy. I want to add, however, that this mentality needs to also extend to that of pedestrians. From my perspective from behind the wheel, if somebody flings...

People are really fed up. You can feel it. Globally, nationally, locally - there's a lot that has been heaped on the proverbial plate to deal with. People were distraught over Palm Drive, pissed...

Yes! Yes! I'm sooo with you on this one, ChefJayTay. I'm a driver AND a pedestrian - aren't most people? I don't understand how people can just step off a curb into traffic without looking, even if...

Wow. So THAT's what happened to the beautiful mural? That really sucks.
Well - once California legalizes recreational pot (and it will...) some of those empty, unrented warehouses would make some...

Hey Thad ~
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it...) I've never needed any fiberglass work done, so I don't know anyone to recommend. But I would still give Gary a call...

I'm not kidding when I say that I actually did get that off of some package of some processed food product - if only I could remember what! Thank you, Edward. And thank you for your timely post...

What a stupid post, Edward...

(Kidding!!!) :sunshine::hi5:

I really like the guys at Leland Plumbing and Heating (707)838-9600. They were recommended to me a few years ago, and I've called them a handful of times for various furnace related issues - the...

This one put a smile on my face!
It reminds me of Jiddu Krishnamurti (but with a twist!) who said "Die a little every day" referring to the need to let go of the past in order to make room for the...

Aside from the ginormous size, I don't have a problem with the proposed font and yellow logo of the Barlow. I think it lends a contemporary air - clean and modern. I think the above photo example...

This is amazing - such beauty! Thank you, Dominus!

I'm a transplant! I also like a good cheap red, occasionally. I'm not against - even for - change as long as it's positive, and therein lies the conundrum, as "change" is such a loaded, subjective...

<br><br>Let's Drink to Wine Country

Oh yay!
Another winery, you say?
Bottles of wine line the grocery store shelves
Out of my price range
With fake French names from Chateau this and Chateau...

As many waccopolitans will attest, I have been a vocal critic of Efren Carillo and his latest exploits. Having said that, I am sorry that Recall Carillo chose to stoop so low as to use this...

Sending you a hug, Dixon!

Shanahan.

Locally or globally - people in need know no zip codes. The world IS our own backyard!

I agree with you, Dixon. Even when my husband was alive, our lifestyle was such that we didn't use it much. But when we did, I found it worthwhile. Why, the savings in kitty litter alone payed for...

Thanks Shandi - What I failed to mention in my post is that when I did call around to different pharmacies, their prices were in the same ballpark ($377). It was Costco that was so dramatically...

<br><br>

Jude - I have friends from Mexico who live here now, and take things back to their village in Michoacan several times a year. If you are interested, I can contact them and be a go...

Contrary to popular belief, Lyme Disease is very prevalent in our neck of the woods. I thought I'd start a thread and see if there's any interest in sharing experiences, information and resources...

Recently, I needed antibiotics, so I asked my doctor to call the Rx into Rite-Aid. She warned me that they would be very expensive, and that I should call around and price check first. I usually am...

1. This is a thread about Palm Drive - not Obamacare.
2. By "investment" I was talking about the bang I get for MY buck - be it medical or otherwise.
3. I support a national healthcare system....

Since Kaiser is funded by paying members, I can't imagine it being an option. So everyone CAN RELAX! In a recent article in the PD regarding the closure of Palm Drive, it mentioned low bed...

Thank you, Rustie, for your thoughtful reply. I am sorry you felt a need to be snarky. I was simply responding to your negative remark about a Kaiser satellite. Yes - Kaiser works for me. No - it...

<br><br>

I am a Kaiser member and, I like it. It's consistent, streamlined, I know my costs upfront, and I know that I will receive care in an emergency. Is it perfect? Of course not! Do I...

<br><br>

There are a lot of honest politicians - it's the dishonest ones who get the attention, as well it should be. At that point, it is up to us to rattle the cage - call them on their sh*t...

Gaaag!!!

Listen: Santa Rosa police release 911 recordings in Efren Carrillo arrest

https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20140429/articles/140429466

I respectfully disagree, Shandi. I don't believe that the system always works. But it's a good system, and, over time, it evolves. I do agree that it doesn't always work the way we'd like it to. ...

"Progressives", "small minded" and "bigoted"? Really jbox?

Elected officials with big egos and (perhaps) a drinking problem should not be putting their hands through the bedroom window screens of...

<br><br>

Proof that we have a system - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't...

Verdict: Carrillo not guilty (w/video)

I'm totally in shock...

Jury in Efren Carrillo peeking trial to resume deliberations Monday | The Press Democrat

<br><br>

It is not pleasant to watch Efren squirm. However, don't be fooled. The eleventh hour called for a stellar performance on his part, and I dare say he ventured to deliver. In the end,...

Video:
Efren Carrillo's Peeking Trial Day One (Part 4) by the Press Democrat on YouTube.
At about 28:00 "Jane Doe" describes what she heard that night at her window.
In case anyone's interested......

<br><br>

10 women, 2 men according to the PD online.

Because it is NOT a "minor" case...

You forgot the "underwear" part...

I think that an extraordinary amount of attention will be placed on the 911 tapes - every nuanced teased out. Not that she couldn't "fabricate" the calls, but that too will be determined. Their...

I agree with you, ChefJayTay - for the most part. However, there are certain "pox" that should not be unleashed into the world until they ARE understood. GMO's would fall under that category, in my...

Thank you Shandi for your input about the site called "Nextdoor". Several of us in our neighborhood used to spend a lot of time updating a neighborhood contact list, which often became outdated as...

I bet you're right, Dixon - although I found this interesting tidbit on the Cornell Lab of Ornithology site. I don't think that I have ever witnessed a colony of egrets in flight, but what a sight it...

Perhaps it is The Great Egret...?
