(Part 3) Top products from r/sandiego

I don’t know your severity but I could recommend some workbooks to help, here’s one that has pretty good reviews online.

I always like to tell people that a therapist could be anyone/anything, not to downplay all of their hard work and dedication but in the very simplest form all they really did was study books that are available to you as well - you have the same capabilities to help yourself but it will take some time and work

Retrain Your Brain: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in 7 Weeks: A Workbook for Managing Depression and Anxiety

An older article, but still good: http://www.archdaily.com/137692/architecture-city-guide-san-diego

Another good article, but leans more to the modern: http://www.ranker.com/list/san-diego-buildings-and-structures/reference

A few more: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g60750-Activities-c47-t3-San_Diego_California.html

You might also enjoy reading one (or both) of these books:

I recommend looking up a Gottman Institute trained therapist.

If you can't afford a therapist, the next best recommendation I've got is reading the book "Getting the Love You Want" with your partner, and working on the companion workbook together.

I just got A+ certified last month.

Back in May I was in the same boat; wanted to take A+ classes through continuing Ed but just missed the boat, so I did self study instead. It honestly wasn't bad, and I feel like I still learned a TON. I know you said you want a classroom environment but I would encourage you to consider self study. I used a combination of this book and this guy's A+ videos/quizzes and ended up passing both exams after about 3 months of studying

Some of the "Images of America" books are pretty good. There are other books that are dedicated to specific San Diego Neighborhoods

For language fluency it helps to get practice in, and FSI or Pimsleurs provide good material for that. I'm not sure how good the Pimsleurs Korean is, but I'm currently using it to learn Korean:

http://www.amazon.com/Korean-Comprehensive-Understand-Pimsleur-Language/dp/0743536134/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1407513831&sr=1-2&keywords=pimsleur+korean

You can get this via your public library. If it's not available at your local library, you can send a hold and they'll ship it to your local branch. It's an all audio course. You'll need supplemental text at some point to understand about grammar, like:

http://www.amazon.com/Korean-Grammar-Use-Beginning-Intermediate/dp/8959951986

The downside to these programs is that you learn vocabularies that aren't targeted specifically to you, so there'll be some that you won't use. But it does help with the fluency.

you can do that with something like this

John also has a number of books he's published, mostly about Pacific Beach. They have a number of them at the PB library, or you can buy them online:

How to Cook Everything

San Diego spends less than half of any other large CA city on social services. This isn't just things like welfare, etc., but includes Police, Firemen, Schools, Roads...etc...

The political structure is set up to make raising taxes basically impossible (not just a partisan problem, but a structural/institutional one) and all money that IS raised is diverted into downtown development at the expense of the neighborhoods and other social services.

We demand huge government goods, and are used to getting them for free from the federal Government, but refuse to pay anything for them.

http://www.amazon.com/Paradise-Plundered-Fiscal-Governance-Failures/dp/0804756031/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319229724&sr=8-1

Comey, "a Republican"? About as legitimate as Hitler's memoirs of his distinguished service in Haganah.

Everyone commits 3 felonies a day on average. Most, victimless crimes.

Government "service" is where you commit, with impunity, what would be capital offenses for civilians.

Reminds me of With the Old Breed by E.B. Sledge. He did his mortar training before deploying at Camp Elliott. Lots of ordnance fired in the Mission Trails area.

I'm not going to bother presenting a counter-argument, because you would just ignore it like you have with everyone else. Then you have the audacity to hide behind Graham's Hierarchy while claiming that people aren't engaging properly with the discussion.

I'm not personally related to any water authority, local government, government agency, or media outlet; nor have I been encouraged, coerced, or paid to support any such organization. I am, by definition, not the equivalent of a shill. And you don't need to provide a wikipedia link every time you mention something. Just because we don't buy into your weird theories doesn't mean we're stupid or ignorant.

Some of these theories include:

-Primary water; This has been debunked. I won't bother citing that because you don't trust NOAA or the USGS anyway. The primary studies supporting the theory have almost all been retracted by the publishing journals because they were flawed. I'm not going to watch the video you linked, because Dr Riess' work has been largely discredited or superseded by more modern studies. It's ok that he got it wrong, that's how science works. We learn knew things, which alter our understanding of natural phenomena.

-Water authorities in San Diego are mixing treated sewage water with the regular drinking water supply; You provided three links for this: The first specifically states how recycled water is used in San Diego, and it makes no mention of it being used directly as potable water. It specifically states that indirect use potable water is something that is done to a lesser extent, both in San Diego and around the world. No study anywhere has shown that there is any cause for concern with this method. The second link is one that talks generally about the idea of directly recycling treated waste water into Southern California municipal potable water supplies, but it doesn't say anything about it being done currently. The third link discusses Escondido's plan to used treated waste water for agricultural irrigation. Did you even read these articles when you grabbed them from Google?

-NOAA/USGS/Universities are somehow in bed with local water authorities; This doesn't make any sense. What do government agencies gain from this? They don't get any money from the districts who collect fees from citizens. I don't even know what the local water authorities are supposed to get out this arrangement. They're public non-profit entities that manage water usage. Unless they're draining those reservoirs like you claim so that they can fill them with money à la Scrooge McDuck, I really don't see a point to their alleged plan to overcharge everyone on their water bill.

-Water authorities are draining reservoirs to make the drought seem worse; There's simply no evidence of this happening.

-Fluoride levels are dangerously high in the public water supply; I'm not even going to touch this. It started as an anti-communist conspiracy theory in the 50s. The fact that it's still discussed by anyone in 2016 as a public health hazard is ridiculous.

If you want to drink your well water instead of using the public supply, that's great; I'm certainly not going to stop you. You aren't being heavily downvoted because everyone is brainwashed by Big Science/Big Media/Big Research Insitutions, you're being downvoted for spouting (see what I did there?) fringe conspiracy beliefs that have all been debunked by people who study these issues for a living. You don't have special knowledge, you haven't 'seen the light'. You've bought into some ideas from people who are equally deluded, and it can be very hard to admit that. I'd like to suggest you read this book, it may provide you with some important self-awareness.

There's clearly no point in this going further, so I'm going to stop responding after this.
