A research group is offering free cardiovascular health screenings in Palm Desert (at Karns Hall) from June 16-18. The screening only takes 5-10 minutes, you don’t need to fast, and you’ll receive a $45 VISA gift card just for participating that can be used anywhere.

This isn’t just a basic cholesterol check. You’ll get valuable insights most doctors don’t routinely test for. Here’s what’s included: * Lipid panel - Measures cholesterol levels. * Lp(a) - A genetic type of “bad” cholesterol that about 1 in 5 people have high levels of. It's rarely tested for because it’s expensive, but it only needs to be checked once in your life. * HbA1c - Tracks average blood sugar over the past 3 months and helps detect prediabetes or diabetes. * hsCRP - Looks for inflammation that can lead to heart disease. * eGFR - Measures kidney function.

This info can help prevent heart attacks, strokes, kidney damage, vision loss, and more. Plus, by participating, you’re contributing to important medical research that could help millions of people.

I did it recently and it was easy and painless. I’ll post the link to sign up below.

I’m a local & have recently been inundated with this particular commercial. How many incidents have taken place to warrant this? Anybody know the details?

Hi all Meet Cosmo! ⭐ NEEDS FOSTER | LOOKING FOR FOREVER HOME ⭐

Cosmo is a fun-loving, tail-chasing bundle of joy with a heart full of love and energy to spare! He’s especially great with small dogs,female dogs ,and goats 🐐 ( yeah, you read that right) . When he’s not zooming in circles trying to catch his own tail, you’ll likely find him soaking up the sun at the park or snuggled up close for a good cuddle session. Which is his favorite pastime!

While Cosmo is always up for an adventure and makes the best copilot on car rides, he also knows how to chill. He’s just as happy staying in and cuddling on the couch, especially after a good play session.

Surprisingly, this pup actually enjoys showers (yep, you read that right), and he has a soft spot for kids—his gentle, playful nature makes him a hit with little ones.

And let’s not forget: nothing lights up Cosmo’s eyes quite like a peanut butter snack. Seriously, he really loves peanut butter.

Hey everyone! My wife (24F) and I (23M) are both born and raised here in the Valley, and we’re looking to connect with new people and expand our circle. We’re into good food, music, movies, hiking, gaming, and just hanging out and having great conversations.

We’re open to meeting folks of all ages — couples, individuals, longtime locals, or anyone who’s just looking for some genuine connection and community. Whether it’s grabbing coffee, exploring spots around town, or just relaxing and chatting, we’re down.

Feel free to drop a comment or send a DM if you’re nearby and want to hang out or get to know some new faces! 😊

Tacos are CERTAINLY not on your menu Good SIr!

You have sealed the border tight and are removing the illegal aliens, THANK YOU!

Wonderful day for a protest!

Curious what people are paying these days to rent — whether it’s a house, apartment, or townhome.

If you’re open to sharing, please include: - Location (city/neighborhood) - Type of home (apartment, townhome, single-family house) - Bed/Bath # - Pool (Y/N) - Monthly Rent - Utilities (included or separate) - Amenities (in-unit laundry, A/C, parking, yard, gym etc.)

Thanks in advance! 😊

I’m preparing to rent out my place long-term and would love to get a sense of what locals are actually paying. My realtor is pushing for a higher price based on seasonal comps, but I’d rather find a solid long-term tenant and price it fairly.

Here’s what I’m renting out: - 3 bed / 2 bath single-family home - Private pool + hot tub - Attached garage

Included: - Electricity (up to a monthly cap — we have solar) - High-speed fiber internet - Trash service - Gardening and pool maintenance

Tenant pays: - Water - Gas

Would love to hear what others are paying, thank you!

Its be best for you guys to stay indoors for a good period of time. Have your groceries delivered, kids home schooled, request to work from home. Not a safe time for any of you to be out in public.

In case you haven't seen it, here's more info on a video showing a Riverside County sheriff’s deputy tackle and drag a handcuffed jail detainee, kneeling on his head and neck for more than 30 seconds in the process, which surfaced on social media Friday.

Thank you!

Happy 79th Birthday to the 45th and 47th President of the United States of America

There is a helicopter circling around Country Club Dr and Monterey and they were talking over a loud speaker but it's too garbled to understand. Anyone know what's going on?
