Unfortunately I'm having car trouble, so if anyone can use my tickets, you're welcome to them. Good for two adults and one student. Send me a DM.
Back in the late 1990s I got to attend an event at the Stockton Marina Yacht Club- I was wondering if anyone had photos of the inside of the club either back then or now. I have no idea if it's been remodeled.
I really liked the design (they left it retro 1970s at the time) and it's a good memory in my life.
If anyone wants to share, I'd enjoy seeing it again. (I can vouch for who I was with via PM.)
Thanks so much.
Is anyone hiring in Stockton California? I miss the late '80s early 90s it was a different time hitting the payment going out for the applications looking like you about to go to church so you'll be ready for your interview and it's totally different now like you have to go online. I feel if you apply for a job on Monday you should get a call back at least by Wednesday to set up for interview and get hired on Friday.
No I do understand these younger people what are they genzies Gen x I don't know what they call them but they're in their early twenties they think that the jobs are going to just come to them you have to keep applying you have to go up to the job and let them see you sometimes it's better to know someone what they say sometimes is not what you know is who you know.
i got 2 females and 2 male cats and theyre going crazy. last year my female cat was pregnant and had 3 kittens. we could only get rid of 1 of them. i come from a lower middle class/poor family so most vet clinics are too expensive for us :(( any help would be appreciated
I’m a college student trying to get by and trying to eat healthy. Where do you find the best deals and cheapest prices at grocery stores?
I recently changed medical providers, and decided to try SJ health, because it is close to my work. I’m going to preface this with, I understand that this is a county health clinic, and many people don’t have the option to choose. I’d like to suggest if you can go somewhere else, go elsewhere. Let the people who don’t have options, deal with less crowded areas and shorter wait times. They don’t need me clogging up the appointments.
To begin my day, I got lost, called and got directions and it was 7:52 AM I asked for them to make a note in my account stating I’d be there soon. The lady on the phone said she would make a note.
On my way in, I noticed the hustle in people getting there, but I didn’t think much of it, and helped a man with a walker, while others passed. This should have been my first sign.
I get in line at 8:02AM I am 3rd person in line at clinic B. At approximately 8:10 (still in line) there’s a code red. We are all evacuated.
It’s at this point I start looking into other options on my phone.
We all go back in about 10 minutes later, and evidently the rush to get in, is a free for all that I knew nothing about. Evidently it’s a race to get in line, like DMV, but I didn’t know that. So I went from 2nd in line to like 5th or 6th. I’m thinking this surely won’t take too long.
8:40 approaches and a woman with a clip board has me go to a different line, so I go. And this is where my frustration starts to hit the boiling point. (This is why everyone was racing to get in line, this is where I found out that you don’t have to have an appointment to be seen)
I go to the new line, exact same number as in the previous line. However, this time the women at the window are all laughing and talking and helping absolutely no one. So I’m standing there watching them all chat and laugh, trying to maintain my face from cracking into Medusa. When they finally call me up @8:52, they tell me I have been marked as a “no show”. Imagine my surprise, so I tell them I’ve been waiting in line since 8 AM. I went outside, came back in, and waited and waited. They say they can’t help me I have to go back to the OTHER line.
I go back to the other line, when I FINALLY get to the front, I notice that one man has been talking to the same lady for literally the entire time we’ve been inside. 35 minutes at minimum. I get told that they have to get me a new appointment, for 9:40. I express my exasperation because I’ve been here for an hour already and I am just now being checked in. They say it probably won’t take that long, they just need an appointment to sign me up for.
I take a seat, and I sit, and I sit, and I sit for 55 minutes. 15 minutes past the appointment time I was scheduled for.
When I finally get in to be seen, the medical assistant is very kind. The doctor, goes over my medications, and I note that she’s young. I’m explaining why I’m on what I’m on, and she proceeds to tell me that she’s graduating soon and won’t be my primary care, needs me to do testing yada yada yada. Then says, why are you taking Xanax? Well, for the anxiety disorder I have. Only as needed.
She says Xanax isn’t used for anxiety. I told her it was prescribed by a psychiatrist and I’d been prescribed it for years. She said they don’t prescribe that for anxiety and will not fill it. Honestly, I didn’t mind, I get that it’s a habit forming drug. Not for me, but in general. What got me was that this brand new, admittedly very smart person, was telling me I was wrong about a prescription I’ve had longer than they’d been a practicing physician. She wasn’t rude, but she wasn’t right.
So, in conclusion, if you have an option to get health care from anywhere else, do it. The people working the desk have no sense of urgency. The way they talk to people is often apathetic on the verge of being disgruntled. There’s a lack of organization, and the worst part is I feel like no one cares because of who the majority of the clientele is. It’s disheartening. They act as though no one has anywhere to be, their clients time is somehow not worth being expeditious. When 9 times out of 10 most people at the doctor feel like crap and should be seen as quickly as possible so they can go feel crappy at home.
i know i can make em (not as good as my mom obvi) but i don’t have a stove at the moment to make em just curious if yall be getting them from some place or whatever
I really need some classroom observation hours. I am currently a college student finishing up my Bachelor’s Liberal Studies-Multiple Subjects. I am currently in the process of becoming an elementary school teacher. I taking a class currently through Modesto Jr College called “Introduction to Elementary Education MEDUC 111”.
My requirement to complete 45 hours of in person classroom observation grades K-8th. I would like to observe through any nearby school if there any teachers open to it. I am required to observe with a credentialed teacher though. This is an undergrad class so it’s not a graduate student teaching class.
I have worked in child care before so I have an up to date TB test/ up to date First Aid/CPR and can pass a livescan and everything. Yes I have all the paperwork for the clearance check from my class at Modesto Jr. College. I am not really familiar with Stockton though so I was wondering if someone out there has done their observation out here before or teaches out here?
Any help would be appreciated? PM me, thank you.

I recently moved back to Stockton and always believed in think global start local. I don’t see any chatter about organizing peaceful protest or boycotts in this area and want to give it a shot.
Many of us in the Central Valley will never be billionaires or sit at the table with the people who rules us but want our money anyway and I say no more until they make real change.
Who’s with me to peacefully protest outside Walmart/lowes/mcdonalds ect to show them we are not gonna take this laying down.!
I don’t mean in their parking lot or outside thier doors but in the corners of hammer and hollman to start.
As someone who has called the south side home for over ten years it’s time we band together and help out our community who lets be honest are mostly minorities and if not we’re are still struggling to pay our bills and keep food on the table while corporations continual to take advantage of us all.
It won’t be easy but neither has been suffering for so long while no one throws us a tax credit.
Stockton, if you are willing and able to join me we can make a difference sand see how our voice will reach the deafest of ears. I don’t know about you but I will not stand for injustice no more.
Not sure if this is the right space to begin this conversation but I have to try.
I’m here and will be here as long as my immigrant parents can feel safe and live the promise of liberty and justice for all we were all preached!
Didn't know tesla came in that color. 😉
Hi everyone! We have a 3 yo son who is turning 4 this June. We planned on applying him to a charter school since there are a lot close to us (we're near E. March Lane) but then they're only accepting TK this yr.
Aside from the public preschools, what is a good preschool you can recommend? Maybe your kid or someone you know has good experience with them? And hopefully it is close by? Did my own research but it's different hearing directly from people's opinions. TYIA!
Why are there so many cops patrolling now? I'm not saying it's a bad thing, just curious, is there a spike in crime? I know it's not immigration because the police aren't going to enforce it but why the sudden increase?
Hi neighbors ~
I’m having a hard time finding an electrician. I need to run power out to a new shed in my backyard.
I’ve called a couple places but they either never get back to me or try to do a non-permitted job.
Does anyone have any recommendations for qualified electricians?
Thank you in advance.
I'm mainly looking for full time jobs or anything that will help me get by while I go to delta college. Any help is appreciated
Hi all,
I’m moving to stockton for work for 6 months. Can anyone give me an overall gist of the city? How’s the nightlife, crime, food, etc? What areas are good to look for renting? And anyone have know of any short term rentals? All info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I am looking for a job with an after school type program or a tutoring, and mentor type program in the Stockton area. I’ve had LOTS of experience and I have worked with K-8th grade students before. My education is in Liberal Studies-Multiple Subjects and I am trying to complete my teaching credentials. I have 130 college units, my TB test is current, my First Aid/CPR is current. I can definitely pass a live scan clearance. My availability is ONLY 4 hours a day maximum since I am a full time college student. I am looking for something very part time with hands on experience. Please help me find something locally and flexible hours wise. Thank so so much. I need something immediately. PM me if you know of anything available!
Also, are there any places that are local or even private that don’t take FOREVER to complete their onboarding process. The onboarding for some places are slower than molasses and it’s irritating.
Or if anyone has chickens I’m more than happy to take some eggs off your hands!
