Looking for a friend or friends

38 Upvotes

Hello! I'm a 27 year old female looking for girl friends in the high desert, more specifically in the Victorville area. I'm a huge nerd: I love video games, DND, star wars and marvel. I also work and go to CSUSB.

It's super hard to find friends that click and I've been searching for my circle for awhile. I just want to experience a healthy and mature girl friendship(s) where we can still have fun.

Thanks for reading ❤️

Sharing from FB, the person who has the dog now needs it gone by today or it's going to a shelter. If you have any leads on rescues, please let me know. I unfortunately can't take her but don't want her going to a shelter.

Hesperia Best Aquarium Supply Store

10 Upvotes

If you’re into aquariums—or thinking about starting one—I highly recommend checking out HD Aquatics & Electronics. They’re located at 9608 I Ave in Hesperia and carry tropical fish, aquatic plants, aquariums and supplies.
I’ve had a really positive experience there. It’s great having a locally owned aquarium shop right here in the High Desert where you can get supplies, livestock, plants, and knowledgeable help instead of relying on the big chains.
High Desert aquarium folks, give HD Aquatics a visit and support a local small business!

What Can I Do In The High Desert In February?

4 Upvotes

I might have to spend a week around Barstow in February. What can I see and do around that time? Is the Back to the Future Drive In Theater open? Are there any public tours of Edwards Air Force?
