STRANGE CREATURE SPOTTED ON TRAILS AROUND TOWN

5 Upvotes

I do not know how to start this. I think I have seen an alien? A demon maybe? I go for walks around dusk and dawn almost everyday and 2 weeks ago something started leaving signs that it is following me. I haven't managed to catch a picture of it yet, but it is about 6 feet tall, it wears a hooded cloak and it looked like it had a clawed hand. The one and only time I turned around to confront it because I thought it was a person following me, it got on all 4s and crawled at a fast ass speed into the shrubbery off the trail. If it is a person, than for big guy he can move at a frightening speed on all 4s. Faster than guys I have seen play football. Has anyone else seen anything like this at those times or any other time? When I manage to catch a photo I will.

Potentially moving to Lompoc

13 Upvotes

Hi all, probably had this question asked several times. I'm a healthcare worker (single male mid 30s) looking at a potential job opportunity at the medical center. Pretty low maintenance in terms of needs as long as it's nice weather and good hiking. Would be moving from the Midwest. I keep hearing stories about crime etc. Is this a relatively safe/nice town? TIA

Cheap places to print

3 Upvotes

I’m looking to print a ton of papers, but I would rather not call a bunch of printing shops and research on my own. Isn’t that what Reddit is for? Please help me figure out a nice cheap place to print! Thank you!

I’m not interested in buying a printer.

Stop calling it Lompton!

0 Upvotes

Stop calling Lompoc, ā€œLomptonā€! Lompoc is its own place and it doesn’t need to compared to any other city in Cali, because it’s not like any other city. Put some respect on this town, don’t be ashamed of your roots, and never forget where you came from. That is all…

Edit:
Im also born and raised here. I’ve lived here for 40 years…The Poc is acceptable and so is Poctown, even ā€œLamparasā€ (as the gangsters when I was growing up used to call it), because it’s original...ā€œLomptonā€ is just so corny because it’s piggy backing off of the city of Compton. Lompoc has its hood areas and its hood people, but it’s not anywhere close to how hood Compton is, and if you ever been out in the street of LA you would know this… All I’m saying is keep Lompoc and its image true to itself, don’t ride off the fame of another city. I love this city for what it is, a little bit hood, a little bit country, and a little bit surfy.

Mission Hills Water Bill

5 Upvotes

Hello all, recently just purchased our first home in the Mission Hills area and getting used to all the fun expenses that come with owning. We are only a few months in and what’s tripping me up the most is the water bill. We pay almost $150 every month before any use of water, no matter what. Then it’s a few dollars per unit when you do use water.
The bill shows it’s $52 to get water to the house, and $95 for the sewer and a couple bucks for street sweeping. Is this normal??? It doesn’t seem right to me, but wondering what everyone else’s thoughts are..

WE HIT $6,685. THEN THE DONATIONS STOPPED. šŸ‘€

0 Upvotes

Four days ago, this fundraiser came to a sudden halt. And while $6,685 changed my immediate situation in ways I genuinely needed, there’s still one pretty big piece left hanging.

First, let me say THANK YOU. Every single person who donated, shared, sent a message or helped get this in front of more people helped me crawl out of an immediate financial hole. I was in serious trouble, and y’all helped me breathe again.

The money helped me get out of extreme debt, cover Ditto’s insurance deductible and replace my car on Saturday. I can get back to work. I have transportation. That is HUGE.

Am I still living in extreme poverty? Absolutely. šŸ˜‚ But at least I’m not trying to climb out of the hole with a shovel made of wet cardboard anymore.

Here’s what’s still unresolved: I owe my best friend $4,500 for the car that was wrecked.

They helped me when I needed a vehicle, and I need to make that right. I don’t take that generosity lightly, and I don’t want to leave them carrying the cost of this situation.
So I’m asking one more time: can we get this fundraiser moving again?

If 90 people gave $50, we’d cover the remaining $4,500. If that’s not realistic for you, $5 helps. $10 helps. Sharing this post might put it in front of someone who can help close the gap.

I’m not asking anyone to rescue me from poverty. I’m asking for help finishing what we started together.
We showed what mutual aid can do when people come together. We got me back on the road and helped cover an insurance deductible. Now there’s one more debt to tackle.

Let’s finish this.

Donate through the fundraiser link in my bio. If you can’t give, please share this post to your stories and send it to a few people who believe in mutual aid.

And to everyone who’s already helped: you gave me room to breathe when I desperately needed it. I’ll never take that for granted. ā¤ļø

Good Samaritan Shelter?

6 Upvotes

I'm looking to hear from anyone who has had an experience with Good Samaritan Shelter.

Whether you worked there, stayed there, or reached out to them for help, I want to hear your story. Especially if you were treated unfairly or discriminated against, turned away or denied help, saw other people being mistreated, or were punished or pushed out for speaking up.

I am already aware there is fraud going on there and that it is being investigated, so please do not be afraid to come forward. Please message me privately. You do not have to post anything publicly, and whatever you share with me will stay confidential.

Even if you think your experience was small, it still matters. And please share this post so it can reach people who may not see it otherwise.

Thank you.
