    How much are you guys paying for auto insurance?

    This is more for the people that pay liability only. I'm paying about $87 per month for a 2009 Lexus.

    I feel like I should be more around $50 per month.

    My driving record is clean with the exception of a cell phone ticket earlier this year.

    For the people paying liability only, how much is your monthly insurance? Anyone close to the $50 per month mark?

    Has anyone done laser hair removal at UCI Dermatology, are they good? Can you guys recommend any other good affordable options around Irvine?

    I want to get my facial hair lasered off and I've been going to UC Irvine for my family medicine/ general practice for a while now I figured that their Dermatology would also be pretty good what are you guys think?

    Also you guys have any places you would recommend that would be just as good if not better and hopefully more affordable?

    OC film club

    Hi!!

    A while ago, there were posts about a film club where people could meet up and watch movies and discuss together. There were discord links too, but none of them are currently active.

    Does anyone have an active discord link to that film club? Or does anyone know of any film clubs in OC (that work similar to book clubs - meetups, discussions, watching movies together)?

    Thankful for any insight or help!!

    Anyone else having issues getting job call backs?

    I feel like i am being paranoid in thinking that my old job black listed me since I have been looking for anything from janitor to warehouse and inventory control. I have been actively job searching for almost a year and In the last week alone I have gotten 6 rejection letters (not counting the mass amount throughout the year). Is anyone having a similar issue? I have the experience.

    Has anyone hosted a party in the community center at this park? If so, how was the space inside? There's not many pictures online, so we don't really know what it looks like.

    More serious Spanish school/lessons for adult?

    28 working full time. Extremely eager to learn Spanish. The apps/online courses never work for me long term. I enjoy learning in person, but most schools only offer 2-3 hours per week, which is too slow for me.

    Wondering if there’s any intensive Spanish classes or suggestions people have. TIA

    Spa day with the mamas

    Seems like this question comes up yearly so here’s my twist. Us aunties, sisters, nieces, and cousins are looking to get pampered celebrating 2 birthdays. We don’t need upscale but also would like to stay away from strip mall feel (like Burke Williams in MV). The idea of a mineral water pool or mud bath sounds like a unique experience a group of 5 can do together. Oh and yummy food would be icing on the cake. Any suggestions?

    Mini yellow Lamborghini lady driving her rooster (UPDATE WITH PHOTO!!!)

    I made a post a while back about a lady with a yellow wig and suit driving a miniature yellow lambo up Yale Ave @ hicks canyon trail. I wasn’t able to snap a pic, but just now, like 45 mins ago, I went to get del taco with my wife, and we spotted her. We pulled up to her and asked for a picture, and she was happy to oblige. Very cool. It made my night.

    Election Day Vigil

    On November 5th (election day) my church, First United Methodist Church of Costa Mesa, will be holding a vigil from 10 am until 8 pm. No news, no phones, soft music, sensory stations (tables with items to engage your senses so you can “reset” your nervous system) to help center and ground yourself. Anyone of any faith, or none, any political party, and anyone who is anxious & scared, can enjoy our quiet space. Stay for the service at the end of the day.
