Drives me nuts every morning. I think it's the cell tower that causes it, but not certain.

Looking for a handyman or small-job contractor in the Mariposa area to convert an existing standard interior hinged door into a pocket door.

Scope would include opening the existing wall, installing the pocket-door framing/hardware, hanging the door, and repairing/finishing the drywall and trim afterward.

If you’ve had someone local do good carpentry, door, drywall, or handyman work, I’d appreciate a recommendation. Contractors/handymen who are interested can also message me directly.

Located near Mariposa.

Thanks!

Is anybody going to the protest? Do you think it will be bigger than last time? The protest is tomorrow at the courthouse

Hello, my family’s dog ran away last night in the Merced college/W Yosemite Ave area of the city. If anyone sees or has him we would really appreciate if you contacted us, we’re extremely worried about him!! He has kidney issues and going without his prescription food can get him really sick, so please if anyone sees him don't hesitate to reach out, any information would be appreciate!!!

Thank you for taking the time to read this

I'm looking to hire someone for a one-time cleanup of a very small backyard patio to get it ready for winter.

Nothing too extensive, mainly:

• Removing leaves and debris
• Pulling out and disposing of dead plants
• General tidying and cleanup
• Possibly pressure washing the patio

It's a pretty small space, so I don't anticipate it being a huge job. Ideally, I'd love to find someone who does this type of work on the side or company that offers small yard cleanup services.

If you have any recommendations or provide these services yourself, please comment or send me a message with your rates and availability. Thanks!

There’s a bunch of people currently outside out of the court house with candles and a microphone. Does anyone know what’s going on there?

Hey! This is a long shot, but I’m hoping Reddit can help me find someone I met on my flight. 😊.

We were on STARLUX flight JX766 from Denpasar (Bali) to Taipei on October 4, 2026, sitting on row 22.

You told me you live in Merced, California, and that you’re Mien (Hmong Mien). You were traveling with your brother and a buddy to celebrate your friend’s birthday. You guys spent one week in Singapore and one week in Bali.

I remember your brother’s name was something like Cheng or Chang, and you had recently gotten a Pikachu/ Pokémon tattoo on your arm. You also got my phone number and said you would text me when you landed in San Francisco, but I never heard from you. I’m wondering if you might have gotten my number wrong!

Unfortunately, I can’t remember your name, but I remember these details and our conversation.

If anyone knows a Mien guy from Merced who fits this description, or knows his brother Cheng/Chang, please help pass this message along to him!

You don’t need to share his personal information publicly. Just let him know that the girl he met on flight JX766 from Bali to Taipei on October 4 is looking for him.

If this sounds like you, please send me a message and tell me something about our conversation so I know it’s you. 😊
I know this is a long shot, but I figured it was worth trying!

EDITED: I can't believe I actually found him. What are the odds!! Thank you everyone.

Hi,
I’ll be in Merced this afternoon and want to watch the USWNT match against Spain. Which local spots do people gather to watch futbol/soccer matches?

Thanks!

My father was recently diagnosed with a debilitating illness and I’m looking for photos of him throughout life to make a video for him. In the early 90s (92-94ish) there was an alligator at Berenda Reservoir. He was part of the team that removed the alligator. Everything I’m seeing online is about the alligator hoax(?) of 2000. This is not the alligator in question. Does anyone by any chance remember, know how I can get the newspaper, or physical copies of the photos they took? I would be forever grateful!

To clear up any confusion for future questions - yes it happened, we had the photos, a tooth and the newspaper until a tragedy at my childhood home. We lost it all.

Update: THE ARTICLE WAS FOUND!

Reposting as couldn't find anyone to help. Happy to work with people looking for a side gig 2 or 3 times a week.

Feel free to send me a DM.

Got kicked out of parents house. What are some resources I can use?

Event at coffee bandits after closing? Oct 11. Open mic? Does anyone know ?

Another 7 Brew Coffee and Mister Car Wash also are planned!
