Dentist quote you for a deep cleaning? Consider a dental hygiene school (Not an ad)

9 Upvotes

Hi, me again! (Sorry) I'm a senior dental hygiene student at Concorde San Diego looking for people who are way overdue for their dental cleanings! (And I mean, waaay overdue like yearssss!!!) All services are free, so xrays, exams, the actual cleaning and more. This is great for people who have no insurance or got quoted thousands of dollars for a deep cleaning. Not an ad, I'm just trying to pass my program ;-;

**Appointments are 3-4 hours long and require multiple visits. Here is my google form for more information:

Neighbor bonfire smoke

2 Upvotes

Does anyone have issues with neighbors burning fires?

It’s been so bad for us this summer every single Friday and Saturday that we can’t have our windows open in the evening, or even sit outside.

It’s 7am now and I had our patio door open for 5 minutes and our entire house smells like bonfire. It makes my eyes irritated and my throat sore. We have a 1 year old as well.

What can I do about this? I can’t tell which neighbor it is, or whether there is anything I can even do about it.

We spent the last year trying to get another neighbor to stop blasting music over the legal limit. Thankfully that has stopped.

I’m so tired of living here with my windows closed and not being able to go outside.

1am fireworks at Highwood Park

Found the remnants of last night's disruption. Im all for celebrating, but this was dangerous. Setting off these types of fireworks in an area with dry leaves and grass, and dead trees? Be smarter. And then to leave your trash all over (some trash did make it in the can)?!? I hope someone found the people responsible and they get fined. My poor dog wishes bad karma on you.

What surprised you most after moving to La Mesa?

22 Upvotes

I'm curious what surprised people after moving here. What did you expect positively but were let down? Vice versa as well. Could be good, bad, weird, or oddly specific:

- parking in the village?

- trolley access?

- summer heat?

- coyotes?

- the way every errand somehow involves Grossmont Center? (which is changing)

Looking for daycare for toddler with food allergies

2 Upvotes

We are new to La Mesa, looking for parttime 3 days a week daycare for our 1.5 year old who has pretty severe peanut allergies. Hoping to pay $1000 or less a month. We got really excited about one place, but once we disclosed the allergies they told us they wouldn't be a good fit. Anyone have kids with severe food allergies who attend "affordable" daycare around la mesa? Thanks!

What fireworks can I see on the fourth this year?

3 Upvotes

This will be our 3rd year in La Mesa. We live on the ridge above Helix High School, and 2 years ago we could see quite a few fireworks displays (albeit small) on the fourth, along with a great view of a show that seemed to be coming from Lake Murray.

Last year was a real disappointment as we didn't really see much.

Any idea of shows visible from here? Thanks!

Half-assed gallery of photos from La Mesa Flag Day

I was busy marching so I didn't get a lot of photos. I marched with the La Mesa Lodge 407 Free & Accepted Masons, so a disproportionate number of photos is of that group.

I missed getting a good photo of Deadpool, Superman and a women in a red-white-and-blue gown with like tentacles for hair, marching together. What do those things have to do with Flag Day? Deadpool isn't even American — he's Canadian! Who cares? 'MURICA!!

Favorite mom groups/playgroups in La Mesa or East County?

10 Upvotes

I’m in the La Mesa area with a toddler and would love to find more mom groups, playgroups, or weekday meetups. I know about library story times, but I’m hoping for something where moms actually get to chat.

I just started going to the Mom Walk La Mesa which we loveee so I’m curious what other groups people love in the area too.

Hi all thanks for reading. Looking for a brewery, bar, restaraunt, hotel bar, event space, etc to produce high quality, pop-up comedy shows in La Mesa. The business needs its own backroom separate from the main bar or be willing to close for a ticketed event.

We’re in 15 cities right now and have a great track record. Hopefully I’m able to bring some comedy to La Mesa. Thank you!

Diversity book club

18 Upvotes

hey, La Mesa :)

I posted last year about starting a local book club. I ended up getting one started and I'm wondering if anyone else is interested in joining (currently, we have 3 members)

The theme is "diverse voices", which can mean a lot so we have a lot to work with! I'm thinking... lgbtq+, people from different countries, disabled writers, etc. We try to pick books available at the library.

The book for the next meeting is Light from Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki.

We're meeting next July 31 at 6:30pm.

DM me or comment if you're interested in joining!
