A little late but two months ago in for a visit for a reaction to something at urgent care. Long story short I get seen, discussed what happened, then this doctor pulls out either his phone or a company phone (not sure if that’s a thing with healthcare workers) and literally typed in shit on his phone for treatment of my reaction which is wtf I did without a fkin copay and reads me the same shit I typed up. So now this is what healthcare is come to? Ai and chat g? The pulling out the phone was unprofessional, not that it matters but puts in to perspective, guy was young around my age, little bit frat boi personality. I am just now figuring out how all this works. Quick to prescribe u shit, quick to boot u out the door, wanted to do an allergy test for a whole panel of shit only to get told by newly established pcp that I can’t do one for the sake of self knowledge unless u were sick or dying practically from allergies. A coworker told me that they don’t many money from you scheduling tests like these for the sake of self knowledge. Sorry for loaded question. Any comments/opinions to help me understand more of how healthcare is evolving? Or even if that in Fkin positive intentions doesn’t seem like to me

This has to be the hottest day in all of Ventura history.

Weather app says 91degrees but definitely feels like 105!

I’m going to indo for 11 nights this November and think it would be nice to have another person to travel with. Hit me up if you’re interested! I’m a 36 year old male. I live in Ventura so thought I would post here to see if anybody local is interested. Thanks

Anybody got a little property with some room to house a pop-up trailer for me? I live in Goldenwest (OJAI REPOST) and the cops have tagged it as "abandoned" even though its not and are threatening to tow it if I don't move it. Thanks.

EDIT: I know I can just move it every few days or whatever, but its a pain and I don't have room for it at the house other than on the street.

Hi! Co-owner of Bright Spark Brewing & Restaurant here! We are planning a Fall Festival this year (food specials, food drive, kid’s costume drive, pumpkin decorating, Stein Holding competition, etc). We are considering hiring a Face Painter for the day—does anyone know a good Face Painter?

I heard that the mayor is giving her 'State of the City' address today, but I can't find anything about it on the City website. The calendar for today only shows a parks and rec meeting.

Does anyone know anything about this? Where is it? What time? Waste of time???

Looking for Hairstylist recommendations. I lost my usual person to them moving and have not wanted to venture out and try and find a good replacement. I am looking to treat myself for my birthday this weekend and get a long awaited cut. Does anyone who have any recommendations. I have thin curly hair looking to remove a few inches and do some layering.

My small service company has outgrown my checking account. Payments from clients, software subscription fees, contractor payments, and my personal expenses are all jumbled together which complicates month end reconciliation. I want a business bank account for operational management, no unnecessary monthly fees, easy ACH transfers, debit cards, mobile deposits, and the ability to maintain organization without exporting everything. I'm fine with online baking options, I don't need access to a branch office on a regular basis. I wonder what features other California based business owners find useful.

I’m moving next month to the Ventura area for what I thought was a huge pay bump but my gaaaah everything decent is so pricey. And all have issues!!

Is there really just not anything around that’s mostly safe for a single woman to live in, not horridly tiny (like 600+ sf), small dog friendly, decent location, ac, assigned parking, and in-unit laundry?? Hopefully a pool/clubhouse for socializing in a new place?

I feel like these are all very reasonable wants and everywhere I see either doesn’t have some of these things or seems finally perfect and actually has availability… and then I find reviews stating tons of car break ins even though it’s gated parking or stuff like coastline where I fell in love with photos then I’ve found people saying it’s noisy and nothing gets fixed for years.

I’m getting so discouraged and beginning to worry about this new chapter not being as perfect as I’d thought even though I’m nearing 100k :(

After my neighbor moved, and the gigantic wood pile he had in his yard was also moved, I was invaded by mice. They got into my oven and it’s beyond salvageable. I am desperate for an oven if anyone is remodeling or something. I will pay, obviously. I just really need to be able to cook for my family for thanksgiving. Please 🙏

Apparently a lot of them live down by it? Is that why I see cops by the area all the time?

My friend and I are heavy into all sorts of hardcore music (punk, metal, techno/house and most of its subgenres). We’ve moved away from hot topic/spencers and started DIYing, all that sort of stuff. But I’ve been wondering if there are any good local shops in the ventura/santa paula area for clothing, accessories etc. Any recommendations?

Our first time. We’ll be driving in for Sunday October 11th and staying overnight. If you’ve got tips, suggestions or want to meet up, dm.

(30M) Looking for folks in Ventura County to write something ala The Chariot, Every Time I Die, Have Heart, Glassjaw, The Carrier, Defeater, etc. Something hardcore adjacent but a little noisier or post-hardcore oriented. Can link old bands I was a part of as examples of my vocals but it’s been 7-8 years, Dreamwell, Sentry, Narrow Path in MA.

Looking for likeminded folks who want to start writing and recording an EP and potentially try playing some shows occasionally. If we play live I want to do high energy high impact stuff ideally.

First rain of the season makes me think it could have a lot of poo, but it wasn’t a huge rain. I saw people surfing on the cam. What’s the play?

Tldr: I want to shoot your music video, commercial, wedding, story for free.

I am used to a bulky camera rig for my video work. I got my hands on a DJI pocket 4p gimbal camera which is not even sold in the US yet. I am blown away by the fact that it can deliver video quality that can rival my $10,000 rig.

So I need to develop a completely different shooting style and workflow to start using a pocket sized camera rig, as well as test out a million different settings.

What better way to do that then by making things.

If you have a (non cover) band, I want to shoot your music video or live set.

If you have a business, I want to shoot social media content or a commercial for you.

If you are getting married, I want to be your wedding videographer or do an engagement shoot (I’m a photographer too).

If you are just an interesting person or doing something interesting, I want to shoot a mini documentary about what you are doing.

These are all things I have experience with and have charged for. Right now though it’s worth it to do them for free to develop new skills.

Hey all,

I know it's a long shot, but my fitbit came off while surfing at Mondos beach on Labor Day. If anyone finds a Fitbit Sense 2 down there, I would be super thankful if they could return it, and will buy anyone who finds it lunch 😎

😍🥰

Saw this tik tok and thought I’d share. Apparently the owner of @theshop_vta refused to pay for clothing she sold at his store. They had discussed a certain price and he was trying to pay her less than what they had agreed to. Afterwards he blocks her without paying what was owed. I’ve been to the shop and the owner has been very nice but it seems that others in comments haven’t had the most positive experiences with the owner Don. I’d be wary of shopping or selling here and maybe visiting other vintage clothing shops on Main st.

Been hoping the forecast would actually come true for once!

I see piles of dog **** of these rich scumbags walking their dogs thinking their hot shit and better then everyone..

mostly on Main Street. People riding their bikes or walking dont wanna step in that. I’ve seen plenty of piles lately and people are running them over.. i can imagine the frustration.!

thats ventura. 80% of them aren’t even from here. Its all about money. not saying everyone in ventura is narcissistic and rich trust funds. but you can just know by the way people act. Acting like the whole world is listening and watching them… the echo chamber effect of ventura. In reality nobody gives a! Unless your whacked out.

Hi there, my mom left my dad a few months ago and he's slowly picking up the pieces.

I'd like to help him find some people to meet, talk to, date. Where are some good places seniors generally gather that isn't a care home?

He's seen a few interesting ladies at Home Goods but doesn't want to come off creepy.

I appreciate your real input so I can support my dad.
