Preferably near Los Angeles, cheap, and good for the family?

I’ve wondered for a while if most of the grassy hills around the San Francisco Bay area were once covered in Redwoods. It seems likely, since they cover most of the coastal range, but I was wondering if someone knew the answer in more detail.

without me of course. For two weeks. From May 18-June 1. I understand that her co-worker is going (she’s actually from there) to spend her child’s birthday with her (turning 9 I believe). My birthday also falls within this time frame. I am utterly furious that my spouse seems so adamant about going without any regards to how I feel. I wasn’t invited and this isn’t a trip with her family. I’m actually thinking of telling her that if she goes I won’t be here if & when she comes back. She spends TOO much time with this friend and has recently taken a 4-day trip to northern California with her as well. She claims I don’t like going places but I don’t have a job that allows spontaneous trips and I can’t go during school months (I’m trying get my BA).

I’m tired of her ALWAYS placing her friends and family first & expecting me to be ok with it.

What are some good fundraisers that we can do? Or some cheaper items we can sell? See, I go to a not so wealthy school so we cant sell stuff that costs over like . I am trying to raise money to send care packages to the troops. (nonprofit) So far my family and I have donated a free stay and breakfast at the Hilton Garden Inn. And I was thinking at the elementary we could raffle off a stuffed animal (our mascot) If you have any ideas please feel free to offer them.

Many thanks

I’m a junior and I’m starting to look into colleges. I’m interested in going to a college in or near San Francisco. Many benefits to this. I love San Francisco for one thing and it is only two hours from my home so now long commutes to visit home.

So what I was wondering how does HSU compare to the other colleges in California. Is the tuition fairly reasonable or expensive? Academic wise how does it compare? And most importantly of all is it hard to get into?

Other than going to Palm Springs what are some other great spots to visit?

The primary use would be for nature photographs (beach and redwoods) and the occasional pictures of friends (red eye bad). I want a point-and-shoot for portability and because of money restrictions. I have about 0, but could stretch it too 400 if the camera is significantly worth it. The size/shape of the camera isn’t as important as the quality of the pictures, but I do like the square no bulges of some of these point-and-clicks. I had a canon S500 which I was happy with, but it was stolen. Any suggestions or tips? Should I get a used S500 again from Ebay? Or is there something way better out there for me? I was also looking at new Kodaks? Help?

I would love to go back out to California. Northern Cali to be exact.

I’m going to HSU next year, but it has a bad reputation with marijuana. I myself rather be around a majority that smoke rather than a majority that drinks anyway, however I’m afraid that if I’m applying for medical school they will think that I’m just a pothead because of my school’s reputation. Does it really matter? I really want to avoid changing my choice, but if it’s going to affect my future then I might aswell switch. Medicine might not be my only choice BTW.

A few months ago I’ve researched some contact numbers for cheap Bolinao inns near Patar beach. However their phone numbers are not updated! Can you please give me recent contacts for the following resorts:
-Dutch beach resort
-Bing’s beach resort
-Rock garden resort
Or probably other inns that can accommodate 4 people for only P1,000. I’m going to Bolinao with 3 people this December. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
