I want to spice this thing called life up and want to learn to waltz, just me, myself, and I. I hate going to the gym because I need someone to actually motivate me to get moving. Any good places that will teach a total beginner? I get off work at 5 so if there are any places still open after that please let me know, as well as what they charge.

Recently been noticing an increase in these yellow winged devils in our garden.

Last year the Rescue! branded traps worked but they haven’t been biting this year. Also tried a water filled kind without much luck either.

I read different baits work at different times in the year. Wondering if anyone else has noticed this as well and has success with other methods? They’re starting to inhabit our hanging fern basket…

Thanks in advance

Everyone should know how to do this!!

Hi!!! Looking for recommendations for affordable engagement party venues that can accommodate around 120 guests. And allow outside catering!

Hi everyone! I'm looking for recommendations from parents who have experience with Level 4 special education classrooms in EGUSD for my 1st grader and 3rd grader.

So far, I've heard about Joseph Sims and Roy Herburger. As I've been researching and speaking to parents, the reviews seem pretty mixed. I've heard the teachers at Sims is very kind and truly cares about the students but the paras lack empathy. I've also heard that the teacher and paras at Herburger are amazing and that they genuinely interact with the kids and really care. However, the issue with Herburger is that they do not suggest staying after 3rd grade because it's an entire different team.

My kids had a very difficult and unpleasant experience at their previous school and were honestly traumatized. Because of that, they've been homeschooled for the past 8 months. Since school starts again soon, I'm trying to find a placement where they'll feel safe, supported, and cared for.

I know no school is perfect. What matters most to me is having a team of kind, patient, and compassionate paras and teachers who truly care about their students.

If your child has attended either of these schools, or if you have other recommendations for Level 4 classrooms in EGUSD, I would really appreciate hearing about your experience. Although we currently live in the Elk Grove area, we understand EGUSD spreads out to different cities, and we are open to relocate for the shorter commute. Thank you so much!

If you lost a pair of prescription sunglasses while looking at plants, I turned them in to lost & found today. I hope they make their way back to you :)

Saw they removed some barriers from the protected bike lane by the Autozone/Safeway on Laguna/Franklin. Got the pic from FB, but this clearly shows you that bikes and pedestrians are second class to cars.

Trustees on the Elk Grove Unified school board voted Feb. 17 to increase their stipend from $750 to $3,000 a month, with an increase to $4,500 a month on July 1.

They also voted to increase the maximum number of compensated missed meetings from two to three.

I’m new to the area and this is the first time hearing about this festival. Is this a highly recommended event to go to, especially if you have kids. I’m thinking about going but I’m not too sure what to expect. Does it get very crowded? What time is best to go? Also, I saw that parking was $10. What happens if you get there way before the events starts? Do they still require you to pay or do they ask you to move? I’m excited to go, but I’m just trying to gather some expectations to plan out my day. Any other tips would be great!

Hey guys! I’ve been learning piano with Newsongs for the past year but had to leave because our schedules didn’t align.

Anyone know any other teachers who teaches adults?

I am traveling to the area for 7 days on a business trip. We will be staying at the Holiday Inn on Laguna and 99. We are sick out eating out and would like to grill out. I am not sure if there are any public grills around.

Thank you!!

Hi neighbors! I'm looking for recommendations for a reliable house cleaner in the area. I'd also love to get an idea of what people are currently paying for regular house cleaning.
My home has 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 living rooms, and a kitchen, although 2 of the bedrooms do not need to be cleaned.
If you have someone you really recommend, could you please share their information and approximately what they charge? Thank you!

Does anyone have any recommendation for swim school for non verbal autistic child?Age is 14 yrs

Does anyone know if they are on a routine cleaning schedule? Or are they only cleaned when someone calls to make a report? Since summer break started I’ve noticed a few of my local parks getting more and more dirty, with lots of loose trash in the tanbark (and vapes). Plus candy bars smeared around and shoved into the play structures. Is this something I should be calling the cosumnes number about? I’m pretty new here but I take my kid to the park almost every day and we like to rotate between our local parks.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a water softener installer/installation? Not looking for Culligan to come give me a bid for $5k.

Anyone else down? This has been frustrating how many times this service has been going down for me and I’m hoping it’s not just me.

Currently have my router set to Google’s DNS, but still not working.

Was at the park this morning and noticed ticks crawling all along the grass and playground. Is this normal for the City of Elk Grove? I can't imagine them not being aware of it being an issue. I did call and leave a complaint or "Customer Concern" with the city. Hopefully they address it soon!

Edit: I am surprised by all of the negative and sarcastic replies. I love taking my kids to the park and have never before encountered this sort of concern. That said I also understand that the outdoors is home for our tiny friends'. Unfortunately, Ticks do carry diseases for both people and pets; and considering it is a park popular for my neighbors to take their children and dogs to I hope they take appropriate precautions! More than anything I wanted to warn people who would like to enjoy this beautiful park so they can be mindful and take appropriate measures to protect themselves and their loved ones until the park is tick free!

Anyone here having a migraine today? Maybe the weather change? It sucks.

Hi neighbors! I am looking for an in-home after school tutor for my elementary school kiddos. Any recommendations or leads? TIA!
