Any Brazilian or even Latin communities in VC who get together? Im Brazilian and I haven't been able to make any Brazilian friends since moving to TO. I'm also open to making spanish-speaking friends as I need to practice my Spanish too :)

Kinda getting tired of having to shave every day week, especially my back area.

So men of VC and or women if you have any good recommendations for waxing places please do share!

I’m not involved with them at all, just curious what folks in the area think :)

Pricing depends on the materials you want used and your design.

Cash/Cash App/venmo/Apple Pay available

I’m seeking recommendations for a stylist anywhere in Ventura county or even LA/SB who specializes in razor cuts- think Jayne Edo salon style - shags, wolf cuts, etc. and especially someone who can give fine hair some texture and volume! I love my current colorist, but everyone at that salon and Ventura in general seem to do the same long beachy waves/Christian girl style and I need a lil more edge 😄
Please help a girl out!

Know about something happening this week? Add it below! Event organizers are welcome to share their own events. Please include the date, time, location, cost and a link, and mention if you're the organizer.

The goal is to keep this a useful weekly resource for the whole county, so feel free to add events from any Ventura County community.

One last reminder: Daylight saving time ends Sunday, Nov. 1, at 2 a.m. Clocks fall back one hour, so you'll get an extra hour of sleep after Saturday's Halloween festivities.

Hey y'all, Im new to the county and the state as a whole and im just looking for some friends. I moved to CA a year ago from the east coast, and down to Thousand Oaks a few months ago. I haven’t had a chance to meet many people yet because I work 5-6 days a week on an ambulance as an EMT. Im 19 and a guy, I love hiking, photography, reading, cooking/baking, working out and learning new things. Would love to meet some people, hike or run or just shoot the shit :) I also speak Ukrainian and Russian if anyone else does too

This week i'm going to Ventura for a few days to stay with my grandparents & parents. What should i do for my 16th birthday? FYI: I am a boy.

Hey everyone, just wanted to see if anyone here works for Southern California Edison or has gone through their hiring process.
I’ve heard it’s pretty hard to get into Edison, so I’m just wondering how true that is.
For those who got hired, how did you get your foot in the door? Did you just apply online, or did you know someone who worked there? How long did the whole hiring process take?
Also, is there anything that helps improve your chances of getting an interview, or is it pretty much just a waiting game?
Would appreciate hearing about your experiences or any advice. Thanks!

Just to add a little more context, I recently applied for a Material Handler position in Ventura. I have almost 19 years of experience in logistics, shipping and receiving, and inventory management. I’m hoping my experience gives me a decent shot at getting an interview. Just curious if anyone has gotten hired for a similar position at Edison and what the process was like.

Hello, does anyone on this thread work in the technology / communications field in Ventura/ Oxnard area? What are some examples of established employers?

Here are three Ventura County options with different schedules, depending on when you’re free:

Lure Fish House - Ventura, 60 California Street
Monday–Friday, 3–6 p.m., plus Sunday, 11:30 a.m.–5 p.m. The happy-hour menu lists chef’s-choice oysters at $3 each and draft beers at $7. Happy hour isn’t available for takeout and excludes Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.

Happy Place Eatery - Ventura, 586 East Main Street
Monday–Friday, 2–6 p.m. The menu lists four Happy Smash Sliders for $10 or 12 pretzel bites with Hatch cheese sauce for $6. Happy-hour offers are dine-in only and exclude holidays.

Institution Ale Co. - Camarillo
Wednesdays, 4–8 p.m., with $1.50 off pints. That later finish could be useful for a weekday meet-up.

Lure gives this list a Sunday option, while Institution’s Wednesday window runs into the evening. Check the current menus before making plans.

Any Ventura county happy hours or events people would add?

I’m collecting these kinds of local details for After Five, a happy-hour &events directory I built. If you’re interested, I could share the link.

Hello, everyone! I'm starting a small business that has been a dream of mine. I'm renting boardgames from my collection and also hosting exclusive murder mystery parties (designed by me). If you like games and want to know more, please follow me on instagram: @yourturngames_ca

If you don't care for games but want to help a chronically ill girl make her small business grow so I can continue to pay for my treatment, every like, share and comment is appreciated 🫰

And for those who love boardgames and want to find people to play with, send me a message! We could start a group chat to find friends to play with :)

Alright guys and gals any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated - I have a 15 year old daughter who is feeling a little down about school and friends these days, I’d like to give her a day off from school next week and do something fun together- Maybe an escape room, mini golf burgers/shakes - any other ideas on places to go around Thousand Oaks/Ventura County

Hello,

I am interested in a house that has a full kitchen and bathroom remodel. I asked the sellers for information on the remodel and they sent me a word document with a list of everything they did. They claimed permits were not required since it was all cosmetic.

Here are a few details I am concerned about. Because this remodel also included extensive pumbling and electrical work wouldn't this require a permit? Would you walk away. Let me know what you think if this is normal. I am having an home inspector check the work out tomorrow.

1. Replacement of cast-iron drainage pipes with ABS - Significant drainage-system work, potentially concealed 
2. New sewer lines serving two upstairs toilets - Suggests new or altered drainage connections 
3.  New water main and regulator - Scope and permit requirements need clarification 
4. Extensive electrical work and new wiring - Multiple new installations and alterations 
5. Bathroom plumbing and shower valves - Depends on what was replaced, relocated, or altered 

​thanks for reading!
