People in their 30’s on how to make new friends

8 Upvotes

I’ve been seeing people post regarding being in their 30’s and not having friends and I’m one of those people. Most of my friends live out of town 2-4 hours away and I’ve been living in the Bay for about 6 years now. During the work week, I am always working and on weekends, I’m running errands, exercising, self-care, etc. I am 34 M. On my days off I like going for a beer or two, at breweries, I enjoy running, nature walks or runs. I have fishing stuff as well, but don’t go as much. I’m actually pretty cool, easygoing and easy to talk to. I wouldn’t mind going to a bar, or club either. If this sounds like you, and you’d like to be friends, drop a comment. lol maybe we can arrange to meet somewhere as a group or something, we will see. Music (I like some country, Spanish music, some hip hop, rap, reggaeton) idk if any of this matters but just showing who I am as a person. I like to stay fit and active although it is hard sometimes because of my work schedule.

Single and no kids

Spray-in bedliner recommendations near Morgan Hill / Gilroy / South San Jose? 2025 Ram 1500 5'7" bed

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm based in San Martin and looking to get a spray-in bedliner for my 2025 Ram 1500 Crew Cab, 5'7" bed. It's bare paint right now, no existing liner, and no multifunction tailgate.

I want under-the-rail so I can add a soft roll-up tonneau cover later, and I'm trying to decide between standard vs. premium/UV.

Has anyone had one done locally that you'd recommend? I'd love to know which shop, roughly what you paid, how long it took, and how it has held up. Also happy to hear if there's a shop you'd avoid. Thanks!

Why would anybody pay as much for a house in hollister as it is in san jose etc. if they work in the valley?

Its been over 10 years since i looked but I moved back here and for houses it seemed comparable. Gilroy as well . With the 101 nightmare i couldn't understand. Its not like another freeway going in. The train maybe?

Any recommendations for CPR certification in Gilroy?

1 Upvotes

I’m helping coach my kid’s team this season and need to get CPR certified. I’d prefer not to drive all the way to San Jose if there’s something available in Gilroy, so I’d love to hear where locals would recommend going!

I have one week off next month, too late for Halloween and too early for Christmas. Are there any place to go or local events around Gilroy? I can drive outside Gilroy too if there's something fun to do. What do you usually do around here in Nov?

Gilroy Gardens - All Year Popcorn Bucket

0 Upvotes

Does anyone know if the yearly popcorn buckets change lid colors or designs every year, or do they repeat after a few years? I’m thinking of getting one and wondering if it’s worth hanging onto older buckets to reuse when the colors or designs come back around!

Looking to become an electrician with no trade school. Are there any unions/companies in Gilroy/MH you’d recommend?

8 Upvotes

I’m hoping to get my career as an electrician started sooner rather than later. I haven’t put in much research into becoming an electrician, but I found out that trade school isn’t required. So i’d love any advice or input.

Good drinks, good company, and a pretty fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon. 😁
