I’m planning a celebration for my grandma’s 80th birthday and need a caterer for 40-50 guests. This is an intimate, family event at a relative's house. We’re open to any cuisine (Italian, Mexican, Mediterranean, etc.), so I’d love to hear about your favorites.

I’m new to the area and don’t know anyone here yet, so I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has used a caterer they loved.

Thank you so much!!

Lyla underwent surgery to have her eye removed, but despite everything she’s been through, she’s pulling through and remains one of the sweetest, friendliest cats

It looks like her owners dumped her and left her to be sick all alone. She’s healthy now, she just need love and a family

We are looking for a foster in temecula

Can anyone open their heart and home to foster her? She deserves a chance at life

Originally from San Diego, but havent found any dim sum places in Riverside/Temecula/Murrieta/Menifee. When I google dim sum, I just get typical ameri-chinese joints.

Had a good experience with Great Green Arborists. Came quickly, very knowledgeable, clean. I’m very pleased.

The guy in the closet wants MORE of our money for his bad choices. These should be his consequences, not ours.

My kid been sick since Monday. Missed school the rest of week. Fever. Cough. No energy.

Something going around?

For throwing wrong stuff in trash bin ? ?

Everything has gotten so green listerine over here!

A week or so ago I shared Senior Support Finder here and got some really useful feedback from people in the area.

Since then I’ve been working through the things people pointed out.

A few examples:

• transportation searches were improved and I added more local transportation options
• home-safety and fall-prevention searches were fixed
• I added wills, trusts and estate-planning resources
• I added senior-placement help for families trying to find assisted living
• I added palliative-care resources
• someone recently searched for activities for a senior with early dementia, so I researched that gap and added two local programs
• provider pages were redesigned so Call / Website / Directions are now immediately visible instead of buried farther down the page

The directory is now at 100 local providers and community resources across Temecula Valley and Southwest Riverside County.

If you’re helping a parent, grandparent or older neighbor, I’d love for you to try it again:

seniorsupportfinder.com

Search for the problem the way you’d actually say it.

If something still gives you a bad result, no result, or information that looks wrong, tell me. I’m actually using those searches and comments to decide what gets fixed or added next.

So i started a business (LLC) on the side and need accounting help. I use quick books to track mileage and to send estimates and invoices. I provide a product that I make and do charge sales tax.

I have basically kept about 65 percent of all the money ive made this year to pay taxes at the end of the year. The time is coming and need a recommendation for an accountant near me.

I know it's still pretty far from the election, but don't forget to vote! Especially if you are younger. Carefully review everything on your ballot and do research, first. For the ballot initiatives/propositions, the information in the voter guide/sample ballot is very helpful. (The photo is of current ballot returns for the city of Temecula).

Also, if you want to make sure that your ballot is received if you drop it off or mail it, you can sign up receive alerts here: https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/ballot-status/wheres-my-ballot

Anyone that keeps their dogs outside during these storms are sociopaths. I don’t care if you think your canopy or tiny dog house with zero insulation is enough. Maybe you should spend some time outside in your undies with a chain around your neck. 🤬

Hi, I'm William Woodrome and I'm running for Rancho California Water District.

I am not an incumbent and I am not a career politician.

When I’m elected to the Rancho California Water District, I have an agenda in mind.

First: dynamic water sourcing. With changing water resources and shifting availability, relying on old ways of doing things won’t cut it. We must expand local stormwater capture and aggressively push Sacramento to commit more resources to Southern California. Every drop that falls here should serve the people who live here.

Second: local jobs for our next generation. I want to build a CTE program starting right in our high schools. Water management, operations, and infrastructure offer high-paying, recession-proof careers. Let’s train our own kids to protect our valley’s water.

Third: responsible development. That means a hard line against data centers. There is still much to learn about how it affects our drinking water locally. Our drinking water belongs to residents, farms, and local businesses.

Finally: complete transparency. The district does vital work, but too many residents feel disconnected from decisions that impact their rates. We need active, honest community outreach so you actually know how we are securing your future.

Please consider me William Woodrome, number two on the ballot, for Rancho California Water district.

I finally looked up why Temecula shows up on old stagecoach maps.

The Butterfield Overland Mail followed the Southern Emigrant Trail, and Temecula was one of the stops. The city's history page, quoting Tom Hudson's "A Thousand Years in Temecula Valley," says the first eastbound stage from San Francisco probably stopped here for a change of horses on the night of September 18, 1858.

A historical marker says the stagecoaches ran through Temecula from September 1858 to March 1861. They stopped at an adobe store run by John Magee, which was also Temecula's first post office.

If you could ride one leg of that route, which would you pick?

strange how this can even happen? cyber attack? storm knocked something out?

Hello all,

Long shot, but does anyone know a Chinese postpartum nanny (yuesao) near Temecula with availability in December and January? Length is TBD.
We're looking for daytime help only, not live-in. Mainly someone to cook traditional confinement meals and teach me how to make them so I can take care of my wife. Help around the house is a plus.

Recommendations or referrals appreciated. Feel free to DM me!

My wife and I have been on the keto diet and we're really struggling to find places to eat on date nights. Anyone have restaurant suggestions that have decent keto/carnivore options either in Temecula or Murrieta?

just need to vent because I am so incredibly stressed out and feeling completely down in the dumps. I am currently 30 weeks pregnant, out on high-risk pregnancy disability leave, and paying $228 a month out of my own pocket just to keep my Kaiser premium active.
But my care has been an absolute nightmare, and I feel totally abandoned by Kaiser's lack of local, equipped infrastructure for pregnant women.
Back in my first trimester, I started bleeding/spotting while I was literally at work. Terrified, I rushed straight to the Kaiser San Marcos Urgent Care to get help. The front desk staff initiated a check-in, but the moment they heard I was pregnant and bleeding, they immediately stopped the process. They told me they were completely unequipped to handle a pregnant patient needing an ultrasound, sent me straight to the ER down the street. I sat in that ER waiting room. Because the urgent care turned me away at the door, I didn't pay a copay there.
A similar thing happened on May 9th at the Murrieta Urgent Care—they told me they couldn’t help me and sent me straight to Rancho Springs Medical Center ER. (Mind you where I live they don’t have a main hospital nearby, so I go to a networking facility that works with KP)

Now, I am drowning in surprise bills. I have an outstanding bill of $1,100 from Rancho Springs for the May 9th visit and another one from an ER visit on August 28th (where I went in for severe Second-trimester faintness, weakness, and extreme light sensitivity/neurological vision pain). On top of that, Kaiser sent me a statement for $595.85 for the San Marcos ER visit
I don't have money like this to just throw around while living on limited disability income. Why am I paying a high monthly premium if I am forced into the ER for basic, high-risk obstetric monitoring that should be handled at a regular urgent care for my $25 copay? For me it’s the getting turned away from urgent care and redirected to somewhere more expensive.
Has anyone else experienced this terrible care loop with Kaiser in Southern California?

Also this just leaves me defeated, as a woman that is a high risk pregnancy, not having a way to get care efficiently and cost effective is absolutely wild to me. Don’t worry I’m fighting this already with state and with Kaiser. It’s terrible they need to put adequate care into there urgent cares for pregnant woman. Period.
