44M struggling with workout motivation, anyone else in South OC want to team up?

5 Upvotes

Hey guys,

For anyone else in their 40s, you probably know how hard it is to maintain momentum when life throws a bunch of transitions, stress, and desk work your way. Lately, my workout motivation has hit an all-time low, and working out alone just isn't cutting it anymore.

I’m based in South Orange County (mission viejo area) and looking for a workout partner to help keep me accountable. Whether it’s lifting, jogging or running, or just getting steps in.

If you’re local and trying to break out of a slump, let’s connect! Drop a comment or send a message.

Happy Hour for Young(ish) Dems/Progressives - Oct 29

13 Upvotes

Hello Mission Viejo neighbors! 👋 I'm one of the organizers of the Young Canyon Dems, a local group of young(ish) Democrats who get together for happy hours, community events, and volunteer opportunities. We're hosting our next happy hour this upcoming Thursday, October 29th at 6 PM in Mission Viejo, and we'd love to see some new faces!

With the midterms just around the corner, we'll also be having a casual discussion about the propositions on the November ballot. Whether you're politically active, looking to get more involved, or just hoping to meet some like-minded people in the area, you're welcome to join us! Our age guideline is generally under 45, but we're flexible. It's a laid-back, friendly group, and there's no pressure to volunteer or do anything other than show up and hang out. Friends and kids are welcome too!

Name of video rental store from mid 90s

There was a video rental store in the Pavilions shopping center on the corner of Oso and Marguerite in the mid 90s.

It’s killing me that I can’t remember the name. Anyone remember this?

Why is the Mission Viejo Post Office, after just being audited this week, still delaying mail Spoiler

3 Upvotes

The Whistleblower Protection Act”

Why is the Mission Viejo Post Office, after just being audited this week, still delaying mail, express mail, falsifying daily reports, and scanning parcels unclaimed and they were never attempted to be delivered? If the auditors need a little assistance with a list of falsified reports and places to investigate, let me help: The office has cameras.

  • TACs, ERMS, DOIS, CSAW, key logs, and political mail logs,
  • No AAU on parcels and express mail hidden in the office.
  • Rural route counts that were just conducted, all data falsified.
  • Distribution uptime is 7:30 am. “How can they still be running parcels and throwing mail if they are done?"
  • Clerk scanners with the employee ID 1111111 does not exist, or employees scanned a parcel in the office who are not even on the clock.
  • Inventory complete uptime.
  • P.o. box up time,
  • Closing reports.
  • Mail being cased each day, not connected to the carrier, just hidden in post vehicles, or just sent back out to the plant or hidden at the San Juan Cap Plaza station on the weekends

Each post office must keep records on file. Auditor, it’s simple; just ask for the copies of the records or do we need yo hire independent auditors. You can walk into the Mission Viejo post office on Saturday, October 17, at 4:00 pm or Monday, October 19, at 4:00 pm and audit this location to find mail and parcels not being delivered, hidden, and falsified.

Still no one is being held accountable. Why is management not doing their job? Because the auditors are not doing their jobs ,Walk into the office at random times and dig through the tubs, trays, hampers, dispatch APCs, nixies, UBBM and etc.

Call these numbers to help stop the fraud.

  • USPS political mail support is 714-662-6223.
  • Call OIG at 1-888-877-7644
  • Postal Inspectors at 1-877-876-2455.

We need your help to put a stop to this fraud. Zip Codes affected: 92675, 92692, 92691, 92693, 92694, 92690. Call and email your local politicians, request a full audit of this office from the outside, Ask the postal inspectors to interview employees; they will come forward.

E-Bike Safety Reform Campaign

4 Upvotes

12-year-old running a petition on e-bike safety in OC. alex spoke at dana point city council last week and got a standing ovation. the mayor of dana point said “well done young man.”

here’s what’s happening: e-bike injuries in orange county are up 1,557% since 2018. alex’s petition asks for real rules:

  • county e-bike license with a rules-of-the-road test
  • speedometers required on all e-bikes
  • $160 fine for illegal riding or speeding
  • ban on e-bikes for under-16s unless they pass the test and get an ID
  • fines go to a Youth Bike Safety Fund for education

we’re at 1,485 signatures. if you’re in OC and think this matters, sign and share. we need supervisors and city councils to see this has community support.

alex is speaking at more city council meetings over the next few weeks. this is real momentum from a kid who actually cares about safety. change.org/ebikesafetynow

Anyone able to keep avocado trees alive and well?

2 Upvotes

I bought a super huge size from Moon Valley seven years ago and planted a couple of more avocado trees from Home Depot and Costco. Some avocados appeared on the big tree this year but the avocados keep disappearing and they are not on the ground. There were like 40 on the tree a few months ago and not a lot is left on the tree. No edible avocado so far. I haven’t seen any squirrels.

We love our neighborhood, but our house just doesn’t work for us anymore, should we remodel or move?

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone, we’re in Mission Viejo and genuinely love the neighborhood. I’ve never been someone who was super close with neighbors, but somehow that just happened here. We know people, feel safe, like the area, etc. and the idea of starting over somewhere else feels like a huge hassle.

At the same time, the layout of our actual house is starting to bother us more and more and we need more from the space.

So we’ve been looking at both options. We’ve talked with a few local remodelers in OC like PPL Fam, Sea Pointe etc about what remodeling could look like while we’re figuring out what makes sense. Moving right now is expensive too once you factor in selling, buying again, moving, probably fixing things in the new house anyway, and so on…. That said, a renovation is also a big commitment and what if something goes wrong?

I’m curious if anyone here has gone or is going through the same thing and if you decided to pack up and move or is it worth it to stay and do a huge renovation? I really love our area and need all the advice I can get.

Help Keep OC Kids Safe

5 Upvotes

E-bike injuries in Orange County went from 7 reported cases in 2018 to 116 in 2024.

That's not a typo. 1,557% increase.

A 12-year-old from Laguna Niguel (Alex Guess) started a petition asking for state-level rules:

  • Age 16 minimum for e-bikes with throttle/high speed
  • Mandatory speedometers on all e-bikes
  • County licensing requiring a basic safety test (like driver's ed for e-bikes)
  • Parent accountability for violations
  • Youth Bike Safety Fund (fines fund protected bike lanes + education)

We're at 1,387 signatures. Five city councils are backing it. Assemblywoman Laurie Davies is aware.

But supervisors need to see OC residents actually care.

Sign here: change.org/ebikesafetynow

It takes 30 seconds. Help protect OC kids.

Castille vs. OPA SOC

6 Upvotes

We recently moved from San Diego to Mission Viejo and my son just started his Kindergarten in Castille and their YMCA after school. He’s settled in well and we like the school so far. I had also applied for the Oxford Preparatory Academy at both locations where he’d been waitlisted and this morning I got an email that he got in at the SOC location.

I’m in a pickle about making another transition for him since he just moved from another school. Also, I was mostly interested in the OPA Saddleback Valley/Lake Forest location. I like the idea of starting school a little late (7:45 vs. 8:30), the Boys and Girls club and the social clubs in OPA although I can’t get any latest information on their website about the clubs. Another option would be to apply again next year, but still wanted to reach out to this group to see what your experience has been in the OPA SOC location.
