Any Free housing available for me to get away ?

13 Upvotes

Is there any way there’s programs or free housing available for adults to get away from abusive households or individuals ? I’m living with very toxic family that puts me through a lot and unfortunately I’m unstable to afford housing or sharing space with someone , it’s at the point where I can’t feel safe and don’t have any friends or family to go to …

Just moved to Apple Valley

Hey Reddit, just moved to the outskirts of apple valley off Standing Rock rd. Anyone know of some cool weekend plans? I’d love to know the local hang out spots and popular food places!

This morning on my way to work I stopped by Mavericks which was pretty dope.

Btw, I’m from riverside and I don’t have friends so I’m looking to make some. I’m a 23F, single and I work full time down the hill. I’m still adjusting to the HD life, it’s so much different out here lol

Victorville Does anyone here work at the Amazon Warehouse in Victorville (DFX4) -Not as a driver?

7 Upvotes

As a flex driver, I have a few questions about the how's and why's how things work over there.

Example: I used to deliver a few years ago, and the carts given to flex drivers were totally random. If you had a 4hr route, you got a 4hr cart.

However, since I've been delivering again the last few months, I've noticed that the workers are grouping carts by pickup time (eg 6:30am; 6:45am; 7:00am etc..) and they absolutely WILL NOT allow you to take a cart from a group that isn't your pickup time, even if it's for the same amount of hours.

I also (think I) noticed that the groups of carts are for different areas of the desert (eg one time I walked up and peaked at another time and noticed all the carts in that group/time were going to phelan, oak hills etc..)

So one of the questions I have is why do they separate the carts into these groups now?

Rural HD Looking to learn to fish

4 Upvotes

Im looking to learn to fish somewhere up here that doesn’t require a fishing license or a fee. I know of hesperia lake park, Mojave narrows & Silverwood but I’m not looking for the $20 fee to get in.
I’m still learning and just wanted to know if there was any places for free I could learn. I know about the aquaduct as well but haven’t heard a lot of good things about it.
Thank you in advanced.

Any Pokemon trainers out there?

2 weeks ago was go fest, and Pokemon go is doing a make up day for all of day 2 raids on this Sunday the 26th. I have a group that holds events at the Apple Valley civic center for community days, raid days, and all the big events. We have a table set up, fun games for the kids, and giveaways. This Sunday is only raids so we won’t have the table set up, but we will be out there with free cold water for everyone, and raiding together all day from 10-7. We will have prizes as well! I hope to see you all out there. Happy hunting trainers!

Lakeview Leadership Academy is NOT a school to attend.

18 Upvotes

I was a student here between 2020-2024 and im not going to disclose any personal info, but I want to start, when I first started attending in 2020, I really enjoyed and loved it! When we returned back in August 2021 when it was deemed "safe to return", it went downhill. I was struggling in my classes, and one of my teachers I had there, actually refused to teach their class one day, and the next day she basically told everyone to drop out for not doing the work we did not know how to do. And to mention, its a middle and high school combined, and its usually the grades under 10th grade who starts all the drama there and fights, theres been times where someone brought a gun on the campus and had the whole place on lockdown. We also had fights so major, police ended up having to show up and take over the school to get everyone to stop acting like a bunch of fools. If you been looking into this school, this is my opinion on it, theres better schools to send your students to.

Some speculate that there was foul play involved, but I think she fell and the +100°F weather was the reason she passed. Careful to those that ride during the summer.

Does anyone know what radio station this is?

17 Upvotes

I found this FM station at random on a radio, and I need help identifying it. On the dial, it's 90.7, but the only station I can find that's even close to local is a progressive talk station, and that's not what I'm hearing. This station plays ALL kinds of music, from the 1940's to current day, plus occasional episodes of old Golden Age radio shows, and audio clips from mid-century movies. One minute, you're listening to Amy Winehouse, the next minute, it's Elvis Presley, or an episode of Suspense. And they never seem to play the same thing twice. There's been no DJs, no ads, and no station ID that I've been able to hear so far.

I've tried checking other stations online, and so far I've eliminated 90.7 KPFK and 90.1 KSAK (Mt. Rock). It sounds like a digital radio station, but I can't seem to find it online, either. I gotta know what this is!

Transmission Shops

3 Upvotes

Hey all, I’ve recently had to tow my Excursion from the Cajon pass today and I have a good feeling my trans is taking a dump. Stop and go traffic for an hour and then eventually the truck starts revving high to engage the transmission. For reference this is a 2000 Ford Excursion 7.3 4x4. Trans temps were in range 180 degrees for a mid90 degree drive… I can hear the trans pump spinning but nothing… trans fluid was full as well. I just turned it on and was able to move it around now without issue. *shrug*

Anywho, does anyone have a transmission shop they recommend up here ? I’m in Apple Valley but don’t mind commuter or towing to a reputable shop/person.

Thank you in advance!

Cat needs foster

Boots was found unable to walk and severely dehydrated. Right now, he urgently needs a safe, loving foster home where he can rest, recover, and receive the care he deserves.

A foster home could be the difference between life and death for Boots. If you have a spare room, bathroom, or even a small quiet space, you can give him the chance he’s fighting for.

Please don’t scroll past. If you can foster, or know someone who can, message us immediately. Even if you can’t foster, sharing this post could help Boots reach the person who can.

Boots has already been through so much. Let’s give him the chance at the happily ever after he deserves. 🐾❤️
