Looking to buy my mom a dog for Christmas because she has been wanting one for a while since we put down our dog. She really wants a brown lab or some sort of lab. Mixed is okay too. She wants a puppy or a younger dog. If anybody knows who has puppies now or will have some available in December pls comment. I want to buy from a real breeder preferably but I’m open to other options.

I'm pretty new to the are. Living in PH and like to fish for rock fish. Looking for tips on types of lures and what types of fish I might get into off the port jetty. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks

my kids keep asking where they can try a nice duck dinner, but im not sure if there is any good duck here in VC.

my basis of compatison is Sun Wa out in Chicago which blew my mind and a cpuple of places in San Francisco.

does anybody have a bead on solid a solid duck where you have to call like a day in advance to get it cooking?

i know tasty china has a tea smoked duck which im probably going to give a shot, but does anyone know of a place that specializes in duck around here?

My brother’s moving to Ventura this weekend. He’s about 7 months sober from many years of drug abuse and will be living in a sober living facility.

I know he’s nervous to move to an area where he won’t have any friends or family.

Are there any good meetings or meetups or anything for people trying to stay sober?

He recently turned 50, so he’s not really trying to hang with a really young crowd. But he’s a nice, mellow, easygoing guy. I’d love to give him some resources and help him any way I can.

Where can I donate working appliances? Leaving town and need to be rid of Refrigerator, Washer and gas Dryer. All getting old, but all work just fine.

is there anywhere in Ventura county that sells mini pancakes for order (no catering)? 😭

(I’ve tried Michoacanita off vineyard, they were nasty, so scratch that recommendation)

Los Angeles has peachtree, and that seems to work out quite well for people in that county. Some posts bleed over to parts of Conejo Valley. But it’s very rare to see that.

Is there a website that’s not a paid service like Peachtree for people in Ventura County to find Nanny’s looking for work?

I need an attorney in Ventura county who has a lot of experience in fighting misdemeanor domestic violence criminal cases. Please message me if you know of anyone. Thank you.

Has anyone else had issues with Amazon not delivering packages? I order something, Amazon says they will deliver it at a certain time at a certain day, then moves the date up, then states it will be there by 10pm. I see notes that it went to the Warehouse. The next day the same thing. By the 4th time the next day I see it is on hold with the message "Delay in delivery due to weather or unexpected circumstances". This is out of the Camarillo warehouse. I have no clue why, my buddy got the same message. No other explanation offered.

Open to info. Thanks!

What are your favorite spots (Ventura to Camarillo) to pull up and park for a nice view? Serra Cross Grant Park seems to be the best.

So since 2017 til 2021 was I was seeing the same optometrist. He saw me three times for vision/eye test. I have a fear of blindness despite having 20/20 so I would go to vision check ups whenever possible. He always said everything looked good and even dilated my eyes two of the three times I went. I switched optometrist last year and he discovered a dot that needed monitoring according to him. He stopped taking my insurance without telling me so I switched to another one in Oxnard. This new optometrist didn’t have the expertise so he referred me to an ophthalmologist. The ophthalmologist said it’s a congenital malformation that needs monitoring. I was born with this yet my old optometrist constantly missed it. I’m worried for my old optometrist patients if he constantly misses stuff like this. Is it ok to care? I hope this is the right place to post this.

Any tattoo artist recommendations that have great script work?

My wife and I are getting an outdoor patio and according to the city , will require fire sprinklers. Does anyone have any reputable companies they'd recommend?

Are local high school running tracks open to the public?

I went to Sam's club in the morning and there was two large buses filled with paramilitary guys. They had old discontinued camis on. They tried high and tight but the tuck into the boot gave it off. Does anyone know what's going on? The logo on the shoulder was like a circular black sprocket with something in it.

I’m getting re-located to Pt Mugu and I’m trying to find apartments within a 30 mi radius with no breed restrictions (I have an American Akita). Any references are appreciated!!

I’m lactose intolerant and I would love to buy an occasional horchata when I’m craving one without having a stomach ache after!! I know it’s just rice water, cinnamon and sugar but a lot of restaurants add milk or condensed milk to them.

Hii I’m currently trying to find a reasonable priced violin to purchase if anyone has on they are wanting to let go please message me!

Im thinking either Noah’s NY bagels or Eisenstein bros bagels.

Yeah, this was bad. I'm not ashamed to admit I thought I was going to die.

We picked up a 22-foot Penske moving truck in Newbury, and needed to get back to Camarillo. We used Apple Maps to get the fastest route. Never again.

For those of you who (like us) didn't know about the Potrero Grade, here's a video of someone driving up it. I've linked the following video at the halfway point; use your imagination to simulate what driving down it in a 22-foot truck would've felt like: https://youtu.be/KXznzNIh7F0?si=SJP55RR7RMkqVhEh&t=180

If you watch from about 4:20 backwards, that's when we realized we'd done fucked up and were too far in to do anything about it. So we just had to let it ride.

This was the first time my dad had ever driven a truck that big, or a diesel anything.

Fun times. My friend, who apparently knows more about the county than I do despite me and my family living here for 30 years, still gives me shit over it. As soon as the words "truck" and "potrero" hit his brain, he knew the gravity of what we'd done.

As a county employee, any insight on choosing the VC Health Care Plan vs blue shield HMO trio?
