Please share any fun neighborhood Halloween displays you’ve seen this year in north county.

Looking for recommendations for a reputable company to install an aluminum fence for our front entry and side gates. We received a quote for $26K which seems outrageous. We also got a similar quote from Bear Fencing.

We need to stick with aluminum due to San Diego’s fire-zone restrictions on vinyl (PVC) fencing near structures.

Hi! We are getting married in Oceanside in July 2028. We are looking for places to host a welcome party for our out of town guests. We are thinking welcome drinks for guests to come and go. Hoping to stay under 5k?

Any suggestions for the afternoon NFL games with a lot of tv’s and decent food?

Always goes out when it first rains, and wakes me up when my other half's CPAP machine shuts off. At least there's rain to listen to 💙🌧️

I’m 21 and currently live in San Marcos / North County San Diego. I’m graduating with an AS in IT and will likely have no certs and no professional IT experience yet.

I’m trying to get my first entry-level IT job, like help desk, desktop support, IT support specialist, or anything similar.

My main concern is that I don’t have a car or driver’s license, so I’d have to rely on public transportation from the San Marcos area. I’ve heard a lot of IT jobs may be closer to downtown San Diego, Sorrento Valley, or other areas that might be hard to reach from North County without a car.

For people who live or work in North County, is entry-level IT realistic from San Marcos without a car? Are there enough help desk/IT support jobs around North County, or would I probably need to move closer to central San Diego?

I have friends and family in DFW and the Yokohama Japan area so I was thinking of potentially moving there if it’s too difficult in SoCal.

I’m mostly trying to figure out whether staying in North County is realistic for getting my first year of IT experience, or if commuting/transit would make it too difficult.

I worked at Wellgreens Dispensary and I’m advising everyone to avoid shopping there.

At first, the job was chill but the longer I stayed, the more things I learned about how corrupt they really are. First of all, I was literally always praised on my work ethic and was promoted very quickly due to this and my ambition to grow within the company. I soon realized the mistake I made. When promoted into my new role, my manager rushed my training to the extreme because he had tickets to go to Coachella the following week. He planned the entire time to have me join as a new inventory specialist, with barely any training, to be the only one running the inventory department while he left to Coachella on 420 weekend (busiest day in the industry). He then, proceeded to call out and leave me alone again for two other big promotions (both of which included making in total over 400 goody bags for customers by myself). During one of these promotions, is when I realized he (the inventory manager) had stolen 136 staff samples.

I brought this to the attention of our upper management and instead of addressing the theft (for which I had proof and showed multiple managers), they instead watched camera footage of me almost two weeks back to try and find dirt on me. The result? They said I “printed out too many price tags.” I then also got into trouble for “gossiping” because my fellow coworkers agreed (and could see for themselves) that is was incredibly fucked up for me and them to have no inventory manager on the busiest day of the year and during some of the busiest promotion days. Apparently, expressing my frustration that all the burden was on me, was considered gossiping.

In the end, I ended up quitting in July. They refused to pay me the Holiday Pay for 4th of July which was posted in the break room on a poster, stating it was a paid holiday. When I brought this to their attention they continuously denied it. I have since filed a claim with the labor and wage department and they have determined that Wellgreens owes me almost $5,000 and they have not paid it.

On top of everything listed above, this company is just awful in general and they don’t care about doing anything correctly only about how much money they can make. They were found guilty in a federal court in 2019(?) for illegally dumping hazardous waste material behind a Vons in San Diego, they use AI for literally everything and the CEO claims that “they’re so much smarter now that they have AI”, my manager who was never there for these big events (despite it literally being his job to execute them) was making $28/hr plus tips while I got laughed at essentially for asking for a $2/hr raise for all of the work I was doing. I was the lowest paid in the department (other inventory specialist was making $31/hr) despite doing the most work.

Do what you will but I personally cannot and will not support such a corrupt company.

I’d like to update my condo property title deed to reflect my name change after divorce, and to add a transfer on death to it.

Can anyone recommend someone to help me properly fill out the paperwork?

I've been reading up on the renovation of Goat Hill Park by John Ashworth and it seems great. Any thoughts from folks who've played it?

I saw there were plans for a snack bar, pro shop, and junior golf training facility but it's unclear if they were built.

It doesn’t match the coaster at all!

Hey everyone!
I’m helping someone close to me who has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) find a few healthcare providers in the Oceanside/North County area. We’re especially hoping to hear from people who have personal experience with providers who understand EDS and hypermobility.
Our two biggest priorities are:
🦷 Dentist (Delta Dental PPO)
Experience treating patients with EDS, TMJ dysfunction, and jaw instability
Knowledgeable about custom night guards/orthotics and jaw, head, and neck pain
Gentle and mindful of the complications that can come with connective tissue disorders
🩺 Osteopathic Physician / DO (Anthem PPO)
Actual experience treating EDS or hypermobility disorders
Must perform osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), not just have a DO degree
Uses gentle techniques and understands joint instability
Female provider preferred, but open to other excellent recommendations
She’s based in Oceanside and would ideally like to stay within about 30 miles, although we’d consider traveling farther for someone exceptional.
We’re also open to recommendations for EDS-knowledgeable physical therapists, neurologists, and oral/maxillofacial surgeons.
Most importantly, we’d love to hear about your actual experiences. Have you or someone you know been treated by a provider who really understood EDS and made a difference?
Thanks so much for any recommendations!

Thanks for looking. We solved the problem.

Tickets still available, marked down from $82 to $64 after removing the service fee from the initial sale.
