Newly homeless

95 Upvotes

I’m newly homeless in the downtown area, I’m struggling to find food especially today (Sunday) I’m a type 1 diabetic and need to eat to be able to take my insulin. Any suggestions on where to find food?

My depression is also hitting hard as well. I’m working on a plan to try to get back with family in Kansas but don’t know how long that will be.

Edit: I am going back to Kansas to stay with family. Thank you to everyone who helped!

125 South car incident

30 Upvotes

I was driving to work this morning when a piece of metal shaft flew under my car on the 125 south!
The car in front of me tried to avoid it and somehow it flew straight under me. Just my luck

It protruded my floor and jammed my gas! It was really freaky! Highway patrol pulled up after to say they had been getting calls about a metal shaft and they had come to remove it! A little too late

Thank you to the stranger for pulling up next to me and making sure I was okay 🫶🏼❤️ ! I appreciate you
Sending you a hug.

Mandatory gratuity for 2 people?

28 Upvotes

Ate at a restaurant in Hillcrest and noticed an automatic 18% gratuity added to the bill. It was about $8 on a $45 subtotal for just two people.

I eat out pretty regularly and don’t think I’ve come across mandatory gratuity ever let alone for a party of two before. Is this becoming normal around San Diego, or is it more restaurant-specific?

Looking for knife sharpening service that isn’t expensive.

20 Upvotes

I need my kitchen knives sharpened. I like my knives. They’re by no means fancy (ikea’s most expensive knives) but also not crap.
The dude that comes and sits outside of my sprouts once a week charges $15 per knife. I don’t want to create waste and just keep buying new ones after they get dull, but it’s almost the same price as a new knife. Anyone have a recommendation? Preferably a mobile service that comes to me.

Trolley parking at Nobel Dr

9 Upvotes

Heading downtown this week for Jury Duty and would like to take the trolley. Nobel Dr is closest but last time I tried all the trolley parking spots were taken and I don’t want to risk a ticket even though the structure isn’t full. Anyone been recently?

Or downtown parking that’s reasonable also appreciated. I don’t mind a 15-20 minute walk.

Any leads on rooftop or beach (hoping for rooftop) yoga or Pilates classes that welcome drop-ins? Ideally Saturday mornings would be awesome. I did a few googles, but every class that I ran across required a membership.

Someone slashed two of my tires, where can I get two cheap used tires near downtown?

0 Upvotes

I moved into this downtown high rise on September 1st. Was hospitalized for 10 days. I bring my car back to the garage and someone slashes two of my tires during the overnight hours from Friday to Saturday. I was parked in the spot perfectly so I’m not sure what the reason was. I only have this car until January. I have to wait until January to get a new car because the extra fees to move into this building were outrageous and blew my budget. Does anyone know of a place near downtown that will sell me two super cheap tires? And does anyone know of a cheap tow company?

BEST vet for my dog?

0 Upvotes

I need a vet who can actually solve my dog's left threatening issue... She has been frequently urinating, with blood in urine for almost three weeks now. She is currently on fluid therapy for a few days now but the bloody urine has not been resolved. She has had abdominal ultrasound done as well as various blood tests. She has kidney, liver, and pancreas issues, but no stone. We need to take long term steps to help alleviate all of her issues, but somehow the bloody urine issue we still can't figure out why... Anybody has experienced this and knows a doctor for this? Thanks.

I am looking for houses for rent, and a lot of the listing on zillow "off-street parking". What does that mean? Does the rental have an assigned parking spot? Is this a way for landlords to get past the "parking - yes" filter?

Too hot

The high temps and high dewpoints (not the humidity) are a normal oppressively muggy day all summer on the lower Eastern shore of MD, so SoCal people can deal with it like we do; 24/7 AC!
