hey! i am interested in doing an angel tree this holiday season. I haven’t seen any stores do them in the recent years. does anyone know of any stores that still do them in the high desert?

And would you recommend it? Thinking of trying it, but idk if it's good

Where do you go for OBGYN and labor and delivery? There's no resources here.

31F here trying to find some female friends around my age. I moved to the USA about 7 months ago because I got married, and honestly, I haven’t made any real friend since then. It’s kind of tough; there’s not much to do, I’m not working, and making friends at this age can be tricky. I’m looking for someone to hang out with, grab a coffee, go shopping, hit the gym (I can help with that), practice language skills (I can teach you some Spanish if you want), etc. I’ve never really thought about reaching out like this, but if you know what it’s like to live around here, you get it. 😅 So, comment or DM me if you're interested.

Hey hmu bored 🥱

Hello fellow desert dwellers, does anyone know where in the high desert I can go for a good thick cigar? I’ve seen some Walgreens have an OK selection and we don’t have any specialty tobacco shops out here as far as I know. Any good recommendations?

Came back from voting and it took me over an hour (usually takes me <30 min). Seems like the polling place is not organized and some of the poll workers are not trained properly. A lot of I don’t knows and redirecting etc.

A lot of us were frustrated and it really shouldn’t be this hard. I don’t even think my vote is going to be properly counted with how this place was run…

Anyone else have a similar experience?

Maybe if I complain about it publicly the next time the runners will make more of an effort.

Seriously if you can’t fill out one of the most widely used sites to make your info easily accessible you absolutely do not get my vote.

I’m hosting a Friendsgiving and looking for ideas on what to cook or possibly order from caterers. I’m open to a variety of cuisines, including Mexican, Italian, Chinese, etc. Any recommendations for catering options or dishes I could prepare myself would be greatly appreciated

Looking for a good newborn baby pediatrician up in the high desert. The one we currently have is more of a walk in clinic type of one near st. Mary’s. Thanks for the help.

So I found a property for around $40k, found a container home builder for around $40k. Figuring the price of a concrete slab to be around $10k and $10k for the utility hookup. That puts my total at around $100k.

Now we all know I'm forgetting something, so lets add $20k to it. That puts it at $120k+fees.

I've ran into two snags:

• I was told that container homes must be on a property with an already existing house, because they are considered ADUs. I can't seem to figure why. Seems it may have to do with the utility hookup requirements, but it seems that it would be easy to modify the container home to fix this.
• The container home builder (in Adelanto) told me the fees to place a new structure on an empty lot are $40k (!!!) from Victorville.

Does anyone have any experience in this? Does anyone know a workaround to either of these two problems? They seem fixable. I'm just out of my leaguef and not sure where to find out what to do.

Hello everyone ! Last night my power went out in both of my bedrooms and after checking the breaker box there was a circuit breaker that won’t flip back?? My guess is I need a new circuit breaker but I’m unsure as to how much that service will cost ? If anyone has a good electrician they could recommend for the adelanto area I’d appreciate it :)

I'm looking for an affordable hand wash. The interior of my car is filthy and is in need of a good professional clean. I tried out Victor Valley Car Wash because they had good prices listed on their website but when I went there, they informed me that the website hasn't been updated in a few years so the wash I though was $80 is now $160. I'm hoping there are some good hand washes up here that are more affordable. Any recommendations?

Also, I need to find a place that can repair leather clothing. I recently came into possession of a nice leather coat from my late grandmother and it's a bit faded with some missing buttons. Any recommendations that can provide repair services to leather clothing for affordable prices?

Looks like a predawn orbit over the MOAs.

Hello all,

My sweet old boy passed away earlier this month from cancer. He’d been diabetic since last year, and while he used most of the insulin bottle he was on, I still have about 50 unused insulin needles in their sealed packages. Does anyone know any animal rescues that might want them? I emailed my vet’s office who said to email a local shelter, but that shelter apparently doesn’t answer their email. It feels like a waste to throw them out. Thank you!

Just throwing it out there if anyone needs a wheel alignment. Purchased extra from Groupon and would like to recoup some of my cost. I bought it for $85 for a service that’s normally $130. I’ll sell it for $60.

Does anyone remember the bar called Peppers in the late 80s/early 90s?? I’m sure it’s long gone but does anyone remember the location/what might be there now?? TIA

Hello friends,

I'm not sure if this is appropriate for this subreddit but I'm a week out and at this point I'm losing my mind as I type this. My boyfriend and I moved into our rental home in Old Town Orange about 2-3 years ago. We don't do anything besides keep to ourselves as we're turbo nerds and mainly just stay indoors playing video games. We ran into a stray cat that walked into our backyard one night in pretty poor condition. This was in the middle of a heatwave, so even at 9pm it was still over 100 degrees. He actually decided to walk into our house and passed out on the tiles.

Alarm bells were basically going off at this point. We, as non-pet owners, didn't really know what to do as we had 0 preparations for any animals, so we brought him into a vet to get him scanned and checked out. Mind you, we had no carrier or ANYTHING, so we had to stuff his poor behind in a moving box and pray for Jesus as we brought this literal stray baby into an emergency 24/7 vet office. He had no chip, and we had to register him as a found pet to various directories.

He was covered head to toes in fleas. Doused in the worst scarring on his face from the bites and more. He had a rolling skin condition and more. I had to work incredibly hard to get him cleaned up to even be allowed back to other vets for further check-ups and appointments. On top of that, we were stressed trying to de-flea our brand new home and figure out how to find his owners. We contacted many different potential matches on websites to no avail. After some time, he was deemed abandoned so we decided to rescue him ourselves.

I fell in love with this little idiot. We figured maybe a previous resident left their cat purposely behind, especially for the sheer amount of fleas on him, it definitely wasn't an overnight thing. We asked neighbors with no leads either and more. We went through the legal work of microchipping and officially adopting him. We restored him back to full health and fixed up some of his other medical issues. He became an eager indoor cat, as I have heavy beliefs against allowing an animal be an outdoor cat for many, many reasons: coyotes are prevalent in even the most urban places in California, they murder birds and wipe out the existence of songbird species, and also humans are assholes and harm cats for fun (or get hit by cars often). Not dealing with that. However, we did make him a little catio so he can chill out and go in and out of the doggy door that our house came with.

On Wednesday 10/23, we had a strange old lady and her older daughter knock on our door demanding that the cat is theirs and to hand it over. I don't know how they found out our info, and it's fine if they were the previous owners from many years ago, but there's a lot more to this case than a simple "oh yeah, here's the cat, here you go". At this point, this is our pet. We tried finding the owners, we used pawboost, nextdoor, facebook, and other local resources -- this animal was relatively abandoned. We told them that it's most likely not their cat and that we have had him for quite some time now, also that he's chipped. They were really hostile and slamming on our glass door before we even answered, yelling at us and the cat. It was fucking bizarre.

Regardless, we didn't think much of it and went off on our small weekend trip. Gone for only two days, we saw on our ring camera the women approaching our house every day with more and more of their family to intimidate us. They were claiming that they will show up to our home daily, we were home and purposely not coming to the door, a whole slew of work. We again, figured we would just settle this once we're home, no problem. Kept all of the receipts from the years on our cat and more. Not to mention, their cat description literally didn't match the one of the cat that we owned, they listed off issues that simply didn't match.. the cat we have.

Regardless, nope, not good enough. They found out we weren't home and decided to *break and enter our house and steal ONLY the cat*. Also, conveniently, they stopped showing up to our home before we called the cops, which... c'mon.

Our cat, the love and joy of our lives, was stolen from our home. This cat has a permanent skin condition from mistreatment, flea scarring and a whole bunch of other issues from being mistreated. When I mean he had hundreds of fleas on him, just picture his face being swarmed with insects. It was heartbreaking to even look at it, I had to bathe him several times just to get rid of any flea on him. We feel scared that our home was broken into, and they managed to do it off and away from our ring camera. We can't quantify the amount of pain that we're feeling over this situation and just want him to come home. A detective is working with us, and we found out who was in our ring camera initially while we were away with the power of weaponized autism and the internet.

If anyone has any information or sightings on our cat, we will reward you greatly. We will also reward a large $ if he's found. I have been unable to sleep since he's been taken. I love our cat so much and he's been nothing but a positive addition to our lives.

We believe the thieves live in Hesperia and would be forever grateful for his return. While he was stolen in Old Town Orange, he could also be placed in hiding as we have understanding that the family is trying to cover and lie in their tracks. Very conveniently when I started piecing together who might've done it, I noticed a few of them have ME blocked on instagram (logging out I can see, logging in I cannot). Which is funny!!

I won't blast the people publicly that did it as I am working with the police to get the job done, but either way I'm distressed, feeling hopeless and just want my cat to come home.

I appreciate it if you made it this far, I'm not a good storyteller and not sure where else to share this. I'm going to also post in other community subreddits. Long time lurker, first time poster.
