Hi everyone!

I’m a Livermore resident, but figured I’d ask here too!

I’m looking to meet more Magic: The Gathering Commander players, especially other women who play. I’m a woman myself and usually play anywhere from Bracket 3 to cEDH, so I’m happy to play with a range of power levels and experience.

I’ll be at King Kong Comics & Games in Dublin, CA almost every Friday around 5:00 PM if anyone wants to come by, shuffle up, and get some games in.

My main goal is to help build a fun, welcoming, and positive Commander environment where more people feel comfortable coming out to play—especially women and newer players.

I’m also working on growing a cEDH scene at King Kong, so competitive players are absolutely welcome too.

If you’re interested, feel free to comment or message me. Would love to get some pods going!

I grew up in missouri playing the pipe organ in the catholic church and I might have reluctantly agreed to reprise the role when I visit missouri again next month. Is there any church in or near Livermore that has a pipe organ that I could contact about practicing?

I just wanted to post about it to feel part of the community

Hello Everyone, I recently found out that Robert Livermore Recreation Center is offering adult volleyball drop ins for open gym play on Friday Nights 5:30-8:30. Does anyone know if this is a new offering, or the skill level?

If it is brand new, I figured I would help get the word out. Looking forward to hearing if anyone has experience playing at the Robert Livermore Recreation Center. Hope to find some folks that would be interested in joining in.

Hi, my husband and I are moving to Livermore from Santa Cruz. We are really excited to be closer to family in San Rafael and Modesto. We also upgraded to a bigger place (Santa Cruz was 500 sq ft). I am also pregnant with our first child, baby boy due in Feb.

Please share your favorite restaurants and things to do! We are very excited to experience all that Livermore has to offer.

Thank you in advance. 🙏🏼💙

Anyone know of good dairy-free dessert I can pick up in Livermore on my way to a family gathering tomorrow?

Is anyone else frustrated that there is no rock climbing gym in the tri-valley area?? Even Ripon has their own climbing gym...

My 2016 Mazda 6 looks like crap due to sun damage on the roof and hoods. I only have 65k miles on it, and based on my quick internet searches, Mazda engines have a tendency to last close to 200k miles. If I'm going to live my values, I should to drive the car into the ground before getting a new one, which at the rate I drive, means I'll be close to dead before this engine gives out (but maybe the transmission/other goes earlier?). OTOH, the computer in this car is also crappy, but my phone mounted on the dash meets my needs.

Also, I'm tight with my money. So maybe I choose to not spend money and live with crappy car computer. (My husband's newish truck has all these cameras and a great car computer of which I am jealous.) A new to me car is not out of the question, but I like the size of my car, the cargo capacity, the reliability, the way it drives, and I don't want to spend the money.

My quick internet searches have not found recommendations on painting cars in Livermore. I find collision repair, paint touch ups, wraps and PPF w/ & w/o color, and the recommendation that paint is the way to go if you expect to keep the car for a long time. So general info that is useful before I run out of patience.

I don't need my car to look great, just not crappy. However, I don't want to deal with a crappy paint job that flakes and what not. I understand that I won't get a color match unless I paint the whole car.

I'm looking for someone who will work with me. I may get the whole car painted; I may not. I want it to be in Livermore. I don't want to drive as far as Pleasanton to get this done. Thank you for any recommendations or other comments and information.

I plan to be there around 6:15p. If you are interested in coming, please comment below.

Wanted to have solar installed. The solar guy came for inspection, said my roof has sag beyond permissible limits and suggested installing panels at a different location.

Have any of you faved same issue and got it fixed. How much does it cost?

My home was built in the 60’s

Thanks

Looking for a new Livermore eye doctor, I wear contacts. Are you really happy with the current eye doctor you go to?

We have a 4 month old puppy, and looking for a great local vet that doesn’t charge an arm & a leg to run “just in case” tests.
So far we’ve been going to Adobe Pet Hospital, and ended up paying hundreds of dollars for issues they thought they saw, they started our pup on medication, all to find out none of it was necessary….just regular puppy stuff. So looking for a vet with realistic treatment.

In the fall of 2024, former Superintendent Torie Gibson championed the conversion from At Large to Area elections for our School Board. Areas 2, 3, and 5 are up for election, and Areas 4 and 1 will come up for election in 2028. Finding out which Area you are in is your first step, and can be done by navigating to the school district website at https://www.livermoreschools.org/board-of.../elections where the interactive map can confirm your Area.

Three School Board members will depart in December: Steven Drouin, Emily Prusso, and Craig Bueno. Steven Drouin and Emily Prusso have elected to not run in this cycle, and Craig Bueno is a resident of a District not up for election in this cycle. Deena Kaplanis and Christiaan VandenHeuvel will remain in their At Large seats, each with only two years’ experience.

The last two years in our District have been tumultuous. After Gibson’s departure, the Board hired a new Superintendent Dr. Anthony Limoges, making him our third in the last three years . Dr. Limoges has an impressive resume, but this is his first turn at Superintendent, thus will need a strong Board to guide him and right the wrongs done by our former Superintendent.

School Board Trustees need skills to succeed in their role. Leading organizations, financial acumen, strategic planning, and community organizing are a start but not an exhaustive list. Dig into your Area’s candidates to see what skills they actually possess, and understand if they are truly pro Public Education.

Please vote! In 2024, 30% of Livermore voters that did vote skipped the School Board races. We are proud of our neighborhood schools. Even if your children are not in them, the humans they produce could be your future neighbors!

Hi folks,

Trying to get insulation fixed at home. My utility bills are high both in summer and winter.

Got two quotes, one from service champions and other from attic pros.

Service champions is quoting triple the price of attic pros for same level of service.

How has your experience been with the above two and do have any other recommendations.

Thanks.
