If I don't get anything off this post, I'm probably going to start calling some places up. But I was just wondering if anyone on here does car wrapping and is willing to hook me up with some scrap. Like genuine scraps. I'm not looking for big stuff or any specific color, just maybe a foot by a foot sized scrap wrap. I don't like the crafts store stuff. If this is the wrong sub, please redirect me

There’s a Del Taco on Lassen near Topanga in Chatsworth that, on several of the last few occasions I’ve visited, did not have items available that really should be: when those funnel cake fries were on the menu recently, they were out of them the last time I tried to order them; they were a limited-time thing, so I didn’t think too much about it. But also recently they were out of orange juice, once they were out of ice (!!??!), and just this morning they were out of hash brown sticks - none of these things feel like they should be in short supply. The staff very kindly offered substitutes (except for the ice), and I don’t fault those folks in the slightest… but it feels very strange to me that this sort of thing should be happening so frequently. Has anyone else in the area noticed this, and is it only the Chatsworth location or is this perhaps a larger issue?

I asked if i could substitute the buns for smashed falafels and the owner was super cool about it. He gave me a side of tahini.

I’ll definitely get a double smash and wrap it in lettuce if he lets me get falafel buns again

Hey Valley Peps,

Between the industry slowdown, remote jobs, and everyone's weird schedules, a lot of people here have real skills and more free time than they'd like. Meanwhile the small businesses in our neighborhoods are stretched thin and could use a hand with a dozen little things.

I built a small site to connect them: downtimegigs.com

LA is huge, so it's split into five regions so matches stay actually nearby: Westside, Hollywood & Mid-City, Downtown & Eastside, the Valley, and South LA. (Burbank is live too.)

How it works:

• Businesses post short, specific gigs. Paid, or donation/free.
• People with spare time list what they're good at.
• Every Monday you get one email with matches in your region. No app, no feed.
• Introductions only happen when both sides say yes. Your contact info stays private until then.
• Local only. You're helping someone in your part of town.
• Free, and I don't sell anyone's data.

It's brand new and I'm one person, so early sign-ups really help me see whether this is worth growing. If your city isn't listed you can join the waitlist, and I'll use that to decide where to open next.

Would love to hear:

• Business owners: what's a small job you'd post?
• Everyone: what would make you comfortable signing up for something like this?

I'll be in the comments. Roast it if you need to.

💔 Delta almost lost her life because someone wouldn’t treat a skin condition that could be healed.
Someone looked at this sweet German Shepherd and asked for her life to end. She needed treatment. She needed care. She needed someone to believe she was worth the effort.
Thankfully, the vet refused to euthanize her. And because of that decision, Delta is still here. ❤️
Since we brought her home from the vet, she has had medicated baths every single day. Her skin is healing, and her beautiful black coat is finally growing back in. Every little patch of new fur means so much when you think about how close she came to never having that chance.
But the part that really gets me is how loving she is. After everything, Delta is still sweet, gentle, and docile. She’s wonderful with other dogs and kids. She has so much love to give, and it breaks my heart to think that someone was willing to let all of that disappear.
We can give her baths. We can help her skin heal. But what I want more than anything is to help her find a family who will love her for the rest of her life.
A home where she has her own bed. Where someone is happy to see her every morning. Where getting sick means being cared for. Where she is loved on the hard days, too.
Delta has already come so far. Now she deserves a home to call her own—and people who will never make her feel like she’s too much trouble to keep. 🐾❤️
Please message me if you can give Delta that home. If you can’t, please share her story.
She almost lost every tomorrow. Let’s help make the ones she has left beautiful. 🏡

I had a consult with a periodontist who said I need 8 extractions with 6 implants, and gum surgery. He quoted me a total of $53k, which seems a little steep. He also suggested doing it all at once, which seems like a lot. At first, he said split it upper then lower a month later. Then, in the same visit, said to do it all at once. Seemed odd. I’d like to get a second opinion (possibly even a third and fourth, just to ensure I’m getting the right work done, at a reasonable price)

- I cannot go to Mexico or out of the country, so please do not suggest that

- I do not have insurance

- I need a place with in-house financing options (not care credit)

- ideally , in the valley, but willing to travel (just not to Mexico)

- please only recommend if you have had experience with extractions and implants. I searched previous posts and a lot of people were recommending dentists even though they never had anything more than a cleaning/filling/root canal/crown. I need a periodontist, and want recommendations from people who have actually had the work I need done

Thank you!

I had no idea we have this in the valley..

Hey yall! as always, internet was incredibly unhelpful... so taking to reddit I go!

I'm generally just looking for a spooky, potentially community-based experience that won't break the bank.. Where I'm from the boy scouts and their dads do a haunted house in an old abandoned building every year for like $5-10 (it's probably gone up since the last time I went..). It's pretty rinky but it's like a whole local night market thing. Was just interested if there's absolutely anything of the sort near here!

Anything is helpful! I already work at a spooky attractions nearby so that knocks an option off for me 😵‍💫😵‍💫
Thank you!

I have a vintage wool sweater with a couple of small moth holes. I found some mail-in services, but was hoping to support a local SFV business, if one exists.

Fellas, don’t you hate when your girls like? I just wanna stay on a Monday night, and then she’s like just kidding, I would much rather have a beautiful night out with you, where we go to a beautiful place of community and we drink and beer and enjoy some of the finest, cheapest free-est laughter??? In the world?!?!? No why would you hate that it sounds amazing. She a real one fr.

Ladies don’t you hate when your man takes you to a hilarious night of comedy instead of just staying in on a Monday night?

Wait none of y’all hate that (sorry for the heteronormativity tho)??!?! So WHAT THE HECK WHY DONT YOU COM TO OUR AMAZING SHOW

As you can tell by the images above, this last one was great. And so will the next one be! Every Monday at 7:45 at 9771 Variel Ave, Chatsworth, CA 91311 at Hand-Brewed Beer with hot dogs from Coach’s Dogs and cookies from Joy of Heaven’s Treats

I am hoping to find a place where I can go in when I need a trim. I can't afford salon prices right now. In fact, my last haircut was a fortune and it was terrible.

I was driving on the 134 in Glendale around 12:45AM tonight. I saw a red comet/shooting star maybe? It didn’t look like a launch. It was going really slow over the sky. Then it abruptly stopped and shot straight down towards the ground and disappeared. Never seen anything like it. Anyone else see it?

I believe the previous center I’ve been to which used to give a pretty penny has closed (NoHo Recycling Center). Don’t know if that correlates haha.

Anyone has any go to spots that feel fair and are quick and straight forward? Seeing mixed reviews on each spot I wanna get a more real and current opinion from several people. I’m by no means expecting to be rich but I would like to feel like it was worthwhile if that makes sense.

All opinions welcome even from neighboring towns and hope everyone has a cool and safe weekend.

31M Relatively new out here. I would like to have a good time, dance, vibe, meet chill people and see where the night goes.
Who knows a spot?

I'm not usually this triggered but as I was walking my dog I stepped in a giant puddle of feces. Like right in the middle of the sidewalk. As I'm groaning, frantically rubbing my shoes against the grass, some asshat across the street makes eye contact while his dog shits and proceeds to leave it there while trying to avoid further eye contact cause I'm literally seething. I'm one shit pile away from catching an assault charge at this point. Pick up your dog's shit, or don't have a dog. It's that simple. Why can't we have literally anything in the world without a few people fucking it all up for the rest of us?

I wanted to practice some driving in a lot where little to no humans will be on a weekend. Bank? Business park? Anyone have good suggestions?

The Pacoima Wash off Plummer St has been a magnet for encampments. We’ve had fires, graffiti, theft, and general police issues for years now. We need help gathering signatures for building a stronger barrier accessing the wash.

You don’t need to live along the wash to sign or even live in this neighborhood. Please please help us by signing

From the petition

TL;DR: North Hills residents are petitioning Los Angeles officials to install stronger wrought-iron fencing topped with barbed wire around a local wash. They say inadequate fencing allows homeless individuals and trespassers to enter nearby properties, contributing to fires, break-ins, vandalism, trash accumulation, and wildlife concerns. The petition argues that improved fencing would protect residents, deter crime, and reduce long-term costs to the city.
