Job offer in Clearlake

Hi! I’m expecting a call today from a facility in Clearlake. I’ve been doing some digging on reddit but a lot of the posts are old so I wanted to hear people’s thoughts on Clearlake. And if not directly in Clearlake, what surrounding areas that are close-ish would be worth staying in for the commute? I see Furnished Finders that I’d be interested in in Kelseyville & Hidden Valley. Thoughts?

(Thank you all so much for the replies! I’m not getting too many positives on Clearlake LOL, so feel free to keep sharing your thoughts on it! But if anyone wants to drop where they’d recommend looking for jobs/living in CA I’d love to hear because this is my first travel job as a new grad and I’m having a hard time being able to really tell how places are safety wise/not being super pricey/wildfire wise)

Adult beverages

Hello all! I'm from Sonoma County. Our county is known as "wine country". I never would have started drinking wine if it wasn't for the abundance in my local area. Every February, Sonoma County puts on an event called FeBREWary. During the month you are tasked with visiting every local brewery in the area. No purchase necessary. I am an avid craft beer drinker so what was the harm checking out some new taprooms? Little did I know, these new taprooms was forced to visit ended up being some of my favorite locations in town. Having been inspired by FeBREWary, I created a community. To create a safe space to explore new drinks & new breweries while traveling or at home. Even to find the best place to schedule wine tastings, based on your experiences, flavor favorites, and much more! If this is something you think you may be interested in please feel free to join. Thanks!

Any recs for Botox?

I just moved back from SoCal and like to get Botox a couple times a year — nothing crazy just early anti aging/preventative. Obviously finding a new place to stick needles in your face makes me nervous. Any recs in the area?

Massive carpool lane enforcement today on 101

I have NEVER seen so many cops. There must’ve been 20 plus cars pulled over on my drive up from Petaluma. Both directions!

Redwood Credit Union Subreddit & Checks question?

Any other Redwood Credit Union users on here? I didn't see a separate subreddit just to discuss Redwood CU.

I am a newer member of the bank and like it so far, until it came time to order checks... $60 to $90 for 120 checks. That's outrageous. Are there cheaper options?

School Closure...Yes, Again

Neutral question here I hope. This is the scored out data from the committee shared on 12/13. I've lost the bubble on how to interpret the consolidated tables on the last three pages. I appreciate there's another meeting to finalize recommendations, and I have no direct skin in this game. It's just not clear to me if low or high overall totals are indicative of likeliness to recommend that particular campus be closed.

Link to meeting handout including score cards for all 25 criteria:

Zipper merge for the love of all that is holy

The only thing worse than failing to use perfectly good lanes to zipper merge is the drivers who think they’re heroes trying to block people who are driving the right way.

20F- looking to make some friends!

(I feel I should mention that I’m quite literally mean ONLY friendship and nothing more than that)

Hello friends! I’m a native/hispanic 20F in Santa Rosa and just like the title- am looking to make some new friends, female only please. My hobbies include reading, beading, embroidery, going out on walks/exploring nature, going out to eat (I love trying new food), and going on drives! I’m a DL student at a university not in our area so it’s a little hard to meet people through school. Some days I’m a homebody and just wanna DoorDash and watch movies and other days I feel more extroverted. I do have other friends, but it would be nice to meet new people and expand my circle a bit, let me know! Again, NOT looking for anything sexual/romantic 🌺

23M, looking to play basketball

TYPO IN HEADER 22M

Just like the title reads, looking to play basketball / meet some people interested in meeting up to play. It’s gotten pretty boring going by myself and I don’t really have any friends that are interested, let me know. It’d be nice to make some friends in the area 👍🏼

Dutch holiday treat?

Hi everyone! I’m (relatively) new to the area and am craving one of my favorite childhood holiday treats - Oliebollen! For those who don’t know, they’re delightful Dutch beignet-donut type things. The ones I had as a child had dried fruit inside. I’m not Dutch or anything, but there were Dutch bakeries where I grew up in SoCal, and they were a staple. Is there anyplace anyone knows of in the North Bay that sells them??

Anybody know what was going on with all the cops on Franklin at Lewis Rd?

My wife got held up coming home for almost ten minutes by a parade of cops and fire vehicles. Some kind of funeral procession? A hostage situation at La Palapa? What gives?

Places to find locally made gifts apart from weekend craft fairs?

Looking for locally made crafts, treats, jewelry, candles, stuff to gift. Found some cool earrings at Brew that are perfect, on the hunt for a nice candle next. I work on the weekends and Wednesdays so not able to make it to any of the markets :(
