Hoping to find a missing container

5 Upvotes

This is a one in a million shot, hail Mary question that I'm asking from the encouragement of someone else

I lived in San Diego in college area from August 2014 to October 2017, going to SDSU. Somewhere between living in the campus apartments/Vet House off of Hardy across the Viejas and the last place I lived on College and Cresita, I lost track of at least one big plastic storage container. It was purple I think and it had some personal items, some Harry Potter books, other kids stuff. Most importantly, it had a binder of all of my original pokemon cards going back to the original 151 run and a lot of 1st editions. I moved around a lot for college so unfortunately I didn't have an easy time keeping track of everything, but I figured I'd give it a shot here and see if anyone stumbled across anything like that from that time and are.

Like I said, million and one shot, but crazier shit has been found through Reddit so I'm hoping to get lucky.

Where can I find a nail salon that actually soaks off builder gel? (North County preferred)

3 Upvotes

Hi, I have builder gel on and I’d like to find a salon that does soak offs. Every time I try at nail salons, they will typically argue with me about it and e-file it, or do a half-assed job and be like “See? That’s what happens if you soak it off”. I’d prefer a shop to an independent nail tech, but mostly because I’d like to be able to do walk-in appointments when I have time after work.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

51 F, on a weight loss journey and looking for a gym (shudders)

10 Upvotes

I live and rent a little cottage in La Jolla…I say this to clarify im not rich despite my location. I’ve avoided gyms for decades but want to do some weight training and all the gyms in LJ are hella pricey. Im looking at a few in PB which are close by and affordable but im not looking for a place with ‘gym culture’ but rather a functional place to do a quick weight workout and leave. I’d also like to be comfortable wearing ‘whore shorts’ aka gym clothes without being pissed off 🤭any suggestions?

Visiting San Diego and want to get a few sessions.

0 Upvotes

Going to be in San Diego this weekend and wanted some guidance of spots where i can go to that may not be extremely crowded and don’t have heavy localism.

I’d consider myself intermediate and can navigate a busy lineup as I do most of my surfing in the east coast of FL. Just wouldnt want to go to an extremely busy lineup that i’m not familiar with.

I’d like to try some easy going reef or point (preferrably rights) since most of what I get to surf are beach breaks/piers/jetties.

Been looking at spots near cardiff and/or near la jolla.
Oh and I ride a fun/shortboard and am generally comfortably with 4-6 ft swell at home.

Any info here or to PM is appreciated!

Hospitality Jobs

0 Upvotes

I’ve been on the job hunt since I was laid off at the end of August. I have been in hospitality operations for 20 years. I’ve managed f and b in convention centers, sports arenas, most recently corporate catering with Sodexo. Beginning to look outside of SD because I’m getting to think it’s hopeless here😭. Born and raised in San Diego and really don’t want to leave but most of the salaries I see are not even close to what it takes to live comfortably. Any and all leads or recommendations or anything is so appreciated! Thank you!

Thinking about joining Fairbanks Ranch Golf Club in San Diego

0 Upvotes

I am a member of a couple golf clubs in San Diego. I am looking to leave one and join a new one as I have become bored and frustrated with one of my clubs. The deal at Fairbanks seems very good. I wanted to know if any members have input on the following:

  1. I assume with 3 9 hole courses, you get some diversity in your rounds. But not sure if it still gets old since all three courses seem very flat. Is this a course you can get tired of and want something more challenging?
  2. 2a) How is the pace of play?
  3. 2b) Is this a course that members are playing a full 18 or just going out for a quick 9?
  4. If I went with the middle tier of $12,500 membership, is it hard to get a tee time for more than 2 people on a weekend?
  5. How is the food?
  6. Is the service at the level of other clubs in town?
  7. Any regrets about joining Fairbanks Ranch?
  8. Is it hard to sell the membership back after the minimum 2 years is up?
  9. How are the leagues? Do they take up key tee times?

Should I head to Carlsbad for a more interesting job or stay in Pacific Beach?

27 Upvotes

Hi all, partly venting, partly looking for advice or recommendations.

I was laid off last month. Fortunately, the job market has been very kind to me, and I scored a bunch of interviews within a couple of weeks. And I now have two offers. One local, one in Carlsbad (Bressi Ranch). Money and benefits are essentially equal so not a major factor. The job in Carlsbad is something I think I'm more interested in and would enjoy more, but the other one has some benefits as well.

When I got laid off, I told my landlord I wouldn't be able to sign another 6-month lease, because I didn't know how soon I'd find a job. With that said, I gave a 30-day notice on 9/15 and would need to be out 10/15. My landlords have been quite gracious; I explained my situation yesterday and they even agreed that if I decide to take the local job, they'd be happy to sign another 6-month lease as they haven't shown the apartment and don't have anything lined up (I'm pretty sure it was empty for a long time before I moved in). I wouldn't start until November 16, so this gives me time to find a place.

I (35M) currently living in an apartment on Mission Bay in Pacific Beach. I don't drink, but like living near the beach and am a big fan of walkability. I'm currently paying $2,500 for a furnished apartment, which I think is relatively solid. I've looked at FurnishedFinder, Zillow, AirBnb, and Craigslist in places like Carlsbad, Encinitas, Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos, etc. and it's just hot garbage. Everything is stupidly expensive and/or some stupid RV or a place with a "kitchenette" that's a microwave, a Keurig, a hot plate if you're lucky, and a bucket of water to act as a sink. And those are still pushing $2,500. I'll be making a little more than I was before regardless but hoping to bank that extra income. So, with all this said, my question is: Can I actually find something decent on this budget, or should I just stay where I'm at?

I'm not fully opposed to an unfurnished apartment but I'm not necessarily looking to stay forever so buying furniture is not something I'm super interested in doing.

TL;DR:

Considering taking job in Carlsbad, need to move out Thursday 10/15 but have until November 16 to find an apartment. Currently in PB in furnished apartment paying $2,500... Can I find a decently priced furnished apartment near Carlsbad / Bressi Ranch for this price?

UPDATE:

Really appreciate everyone's advice and feedback. I've accepted the position in Carlsbad (Bressi Ranch). Think I'll probably look to live somewhere a little inland (Carlsbad/Encinitas/Vista) to save money while also being a short drive from the beach and fun things. While the talk of isolation is a little worrisome, every time I drive down Garnet in PB, I complain about the people and parking (and then yell at the clouds for a while lol). So yeah, I think I need a change of scenery. Something quieter that gets me to go hiking instead of my ADD always making me go to the exciting dopamine-rewarding thing even if it's not what will actually make me happy

Hey everyone! Visiting for the first time soon and looking for some good food recommendations!

I’m from Portland, Oregon, and we have a pretty great food scene here, so I’m excited to see what you guys have!

I’m especially looking for some really good fish tacos. Who has the best?

But I’m open to pretty much anything! I love everything from little hole-in-the-wall places to fine dining. If there’s somewhere you love or think I shouldn’t miss, I’d love to hear about it!

Looking for a monthly house cleaner- East County SD

0 Upvotes

Hello!! Looking for a great housecleaner in east county San Diego to come to my house monthly- hoping for a good monthly cleaning so that I can just do some upkeep. We have a 4 month old and want to spend as much time as possible with him when we are home from work ❤️

I have tried several house cleaners and I am losing hope on finding a great one!! For example we have small rugs in our kitchen, no one has moved them to vacuum and mop underneath them and we have two front room cabinets that have gotten missed. It feels like obvious stuff is getting missed and if we are gonna pay for a cleaning service we want it to be worth it!! 💯

Thank you in advance!!

NYC/LA to San Diego - Artist

6 Upvotes

I'm an artist and I love arts/culture. Have lived in NYC and LA and enjoyed them but now after trying LA again this past summer, I find it overwhelming. The pollution, traffic, and grittiness is a lot for me. NYC would be too much as well. I am wondering if San Diego is a good fit. I know there is less there, but I'm wondering if there still is some arts/culture and if it's a good fit for someone who loves art/culture but wants to take the intense city living down a notch?

I'm considering coming there for a month in a few days (in Seattle now), but feel like I am seeing mixed things - people who love it and there's still some arts/culture and those who say really it's the beach and restaurants type of culture. I've been there twice before but really only for a few days each. It did seem more like a beach city without serious arts there, but I can't know from those short stints.

Thanks!

Becoming a massager in San Diego.

0 Upvotes

It seems that I have a knack for massaging and actually enjoy doing it. Thus, I'm thinking about becoming a massager. I know that in order to work as a massager in San Diego or California in general I would need a license. So I'm asking those who have got a license and is working as a massager/masseuse in San Diego.

How long does it takes to get the license? I can only do 20 hours/week.

What was the cost?

What is a newly licensed massager/masseuse pay rate?

What is the realistic upper limit of how much a massager/masseuse can make?

Fun Bday Spots for 4 Year Old

1 Upvotes

My daughter is turning 4 and I’d like to do something special for her as it’s her last birthday as an only child. We were thinking Disneyland but it’s such a long day and I will be 37w pregnant.

She’s only 40” so she can’t do a lot of rides at Seaworld. We are getting SD Zoo passes for Christmas so not trying to go there. Already have Lego Land passes and go often.

Any other places that would be special for a 4 year old? Thank you!
