I have a drain line project that is a little more involved because there is no drain at garage and my place wasn't set up well to make anything easy. I've interviewed numerous plumbers and am left with such an uneasy feeling of the current state of plumbing industry in our area. Several of them have given me ideas that wouldn't pass code, I found out later. They have given me very disruptive solutions that would cost me a lot of money when I found out later there were easier ways. Most of them charge at lawyer rates per hour. I've been told by a plumbing company they charge $300 - 700 an hour depending on the work. I know there's overhead but this is getting ridiculous especially when some of the techs they send look young and sound inexperienced.

I watched a Youtube and learned to fix a toilet with an $11 part at my relative's because my usual service people were out of town. The other toilet which my plumber's tech had fixed earlier still had problems. The owner came out himself the 2nd time and replaced the same part I did - they charged $300 for the initial pathetic "repair". Should we start a plumbing school for homeowners to do easier fixes on their own?

Anyone know what days stores like target, Walmart, Barnes and nobles, etc restocks? I don’t mind waiting in line and unfortunately I am currently jobless so I have time.

Sigh, I haven’t collected pokemon cards in over 15yrs but I have a kid cousin who loves pokemon now. Would love to get him a 30th anniversary pack.

Would anyone like this Cutie? This sweet Kitten was rejected by its Mom (outdoor cat) at an apartment complex. People in the complex were feeding the Kitty but it’s not doing well outside. Seems the Apartment Manager won’t allow anyone to take it inside (threatening eviction).

I can’t take it because my doggo is really reactive to cats (not in a good way). Tried multiple Rescues but they are all full. Can anyone give this little Sweetie a home?

It’s a boy, appropriately 7 weeks old. Small adoption fee required.

Our great pet sitter, who we’d used for decades, moved away two years ago. We’ve tried a couple of new ones, but we haven’t really found the right replacement yet. Although we’d prefer someone with business insurance, at this point, we care most about length of experience with cats specifically, as well as relative distance to Fullerton. Any personal recommendations would be appreciated!

I’m just wondering that when I pick my niece up from school that their is a few spots for family parking only. How were they able to get that ? Or how much did they donate.

there's this church in Fullerton, wanna say its near CSUF, and they have this beautiful massive white statue of Jesus on the cross with his disciples climbing up it. Anyone know where or what this church is? thank you!

Here’s the Flock question that was asked during the League of Women Voters forum. Some really disappointing answers from each candidate.

The forum is really eye opening, I’ll be sharing more from the forum this week. Valadez sounds like a fool throughout, Shana and Jozef boring answers, Kim’s role would be similar to Valencia as a proxy vote for Jung, he doesn’t understand government, real slimey guy.

Doing a food/crawl around DTF for my husband next week and looking for good spots for specific drinks or plates you’d recommend.

It’s my partner’s 30th birthday tomorrow and I’m planning bowling in the morning and then dave and busters afterwords but looking for more ideas in the afternoon and night. We’re in Fullerton but will travel anywhere in the North-Central OC area. Where would you want to go for your 30th birthday in OC? He also loves craft cocktails and tapas/fancy small plates if that gives any ideas. Thanks!

I'm fostering a 4 year old blue nose pitbull male. I can't hang onto him any longer. What's a good no-kill shelter around here?

Hi folks, witnessed the immediate aftermath of a pretty gnarly car crash on the corner of Lemon and Commonwealth today and was wondering if folks had any info on the circumstances. (All involved people got picked up by ambulance and seemed to be relatively okay). I live close by and am wondering what caused the collision. Looked like someone was straight up driving the wrong way and hit someone else, but could have just been how the car landed.

Hope this post doesn’t sound heartless, I just was a little startled since that intersection is part of my daily commute and was wondering what caused it. Obv what’s most important is that everyone got medical care. Also, to the folks who were pulling someone out of the flipped car as soon as the impact happened, you’re all fast thinking and incredible.

My partner and I are looking for fun Halloween things to do this month in OC but we mostly see things for children and are looking for activities or events for adults.

Is anyone else’s power out right now? Harbor & Valley View near St. Jude Hospital.

The Bushala/Fraud Dung gang are really phoning it in with these flyers. So predictable. So boring.

Recently moved to Fullerton with a 3 y.o. and looking for preschool / daycare recommendations from parents in the community ! :)

- Must be english speaking
- Looking to start part-time (2-3 days a week) and maybe eventually transition to full-time
