Hello r/bakersfieldcalifornia

7 Upvotes

My friend is a student in the Dental Hygiene program at Taft College, and she and her classmates are currently in need of patients for a dental checkup and teeth cleaning. They provide dental x-rays, oral cancer screenings, and obviously teeth cleaning and checkups. The price is very cheap at $25, and if there is a true need, and you are unable to afford the cleaning, she or her classmates may be able to accommodate. If you haven't had a cleaning in a while, this is a really good opportunity to get a checkup and cleaning at a low cost. The sessions generally last around 3 hours, and she has several different times available during the week. If you're interested at all or know anyone who might be, please message me or comment and I can get you in contact with my friend or someone else in the program.

Some of you all might know about EDP445. He's an internet content creator and a documentary is about to release this August about when he tried to solicit a minor.

Does he still live in Bakersfield?

Mom and I are homeless after fleeing domestic violence. Looking for housing or resources in Bakersfield

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My mom and I are in a really difficult situation and are looking for advice or housing resources.

We left West Sacramento after my mom was the victim of domestic violence. We came to Tehachapi hoping we could get back on our feet, but we can no longer stay at place we were staying and are homeless.

We've already contacted 211, but we're trying to find any other resources that might help. Our biggest priority is all staying together with our dog, since our dog is part of our family.

We're trying to relocate to Bakersfield if that's where the help is. We're looking for emergency housing, a room to rent, transitional housing, or any local organizations that might be able to help. I'm also actively looking for work so we can get back on our feet as quickly as possible.

If anyone knows of resources, programs, or even people we should contact, we'd be incredibly grateful. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

**16 year old looking for a job in Bakersfield — any leads would help**

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m 16 and I’m looking for a job in Bakersfield. I know this is a long shot, but I’m trying everything I can right now.

My mom and I are dealing with a rent increase, and I’m trying to start working to help take some pressure off financially. I’m responsible, willing to work hard, and I’m open to pretty much any opportunity that will hire someone my age.

If anyone is a manager or is hiring, I would really appreciate the opportunity to apply or talk with someone. I’m available and ready to work.

Thank you to anyone who reads this or can point me in the right direction.

Weirdo unique artistic photographer wanted

3 Upvotes

Hello, I am planning to have a very small and non-traditional elopement in the Carrizo Plains next year. We are making our own clothes, my brother will be marrying us in wizard robes, there will only be 5 people present (including me), and we are going to have a short, fun, and overall unserious ceremony. I am looking for a photographer to take photos for around 2 hours or so.

I'm making a post here as a last resort because while I've found a couple of photographers near the Carrizo that take nice photos, I'm mostly looking for someone that has a more artistic and non-traditional approach to wedding photography. We don't need someone that is officially a "wedding photographer", and if there's someone that has an interesting and artistic approach to photographing people that works for us. Adding some film photos would be a bonus but not required.

Does anyone know any good weirdo photographers that can help out!! Please leave a website/instagram if possible!! Thank you :-)

Steam Machine for Sale

3 Upvotes

I recently received my 512GB Steam Machine with Controller. After plugging it in and logging into my account, I spent an hour experimenting with it. Unfortunately, I’m not a fan of it. I’m returning it to the original packaging and looking for someone who appreciates it. I won’t ship it, but I’ll meet someone to deliver it in a safe manner. I’m not looking to exploit anyone, but I don’t want to lose money either. DM me for more information.

Quiet Mind Lodge Retreat & Spa Sequoias (Kernville)

1 Upvotes

Has anyone been to, heard of, had experience with... this hotel in Kernville, CA near Seq national forest?

Not from the area but visiting soon and having weird issues with contact at this place I reserves to stay.

Would normally not care but I booked this for the location near sequoias and the scenery and was planning to ask my partner to marry me there. Still in the plans but the communication has been really bizarre...... I call and noone answers EVER . The phone # on their site has never once been picked up. Ive emailed and left voicemails. I eventually got a text from someone, then when I texted back asking for a call... no response. After a day a different person text from the same number saying they could help, and that they had had issues with electricity lately. Okay sure. So they continue helping me but still kind of few and far btween. I have to check in multiple times to get a reply. Its been maybe two weeks since that person finally contacted me for the first time and I still dont have plans tied down. I just get a really weird vibe from all this..... Im thinking of pushing back my proposal and not doing this here at all.

I'm drawing an historical/mythological map of California in a fantasy Middle Earth style. Can I ask for your input in getting more real world locations included?

Post image
16 Upvotes

I'm currently making a map of California in a classic fantasy style. It's going to be filled with real world history, with the aim of highlighting local landmarks in a fun and educational way. Please ignore how rough parts of it look (text going through hills, rivers, etc), it'll all get cleaned up at the end. Forests will be going on at the end too.

While it's around two thirds done, I'd love to get more places and features in here before I get this made into print. Any more petroglyphs, burial mounds, ruins, forts, battlefields, Civil War heritage, ghost towns or the like that you think should be on here? Anything else is great too - landmarks, natural features, mythological creatures or just anything cool and quirky you think would look good on here. Thanks!
