Will the taxi refuse us service? If not, is it against the law to not have her in a car seat in a taxi? I'm really trying to avoid lugging along a carseat. What's the practical thing to do?I'll be soon travelling to San Francisco with a toddler (2 1/2). Can we have her in a taxi without a carseat?
I would say so, it is illegal to not have a child in a carseat here... I don't think there is a practical thing to do, maybe see about if it is ok to just use one of those booster seats that aren't so bulkyI'll be soon travelling to San Francisco with a toddler (2 1/2). Can we have her in a taxi without a carseat?
i think it has sumthing to do with her height, but i could be wrong!
most definately she needs a carseat. its the law here and really is "lugging" around a carseat so bad that you would jeopardize her safety? SF cab drivers are not good drivers.I'll be soon travelling to San Francisco with a toddler (2 1/2). Can we have her in a taxi without a carseat?
I live just barely south of SF and I dont think you will have a problem at all. You might be required to have her sit on your lap. But if you just slap her in the car you will be fine. The cabbies dont really care at all.
It is illegal to transport her in any vehicle without a car seat.I'll be soon travelling to San Francisco with a toddler (2 1/2). Can we have her in a taxi without a carseat?
Some cab drivers will refuse you. It happened when we arrived back from a vacation in Hawaii. My son was four, and at that time the restrictions were different, he did not have to ride in a car seat. My son is very small for his age, and one cab driver refused to take us because we did not have his car seat. He said that he couldn't take the "baby"..... he obviously thought that my son was a toddler.
The cab drivers, as well as most of the other drivers here, are incredibly bad. Bring a car seat, the booster type, and buckle yourself up as well. I know that it is hard to tote that around when you are trying to do other things. I tried to find a convenient, travel, toddler car seat but nothing was foldable. Maybe that is a good idea for an invention? The safety standards are probably difficult to meet. I am assuming that you have a stroller to bring, so somehow maybe you can tuck the seat under the stroller when you are walking.
I hope that this helps.

i've seen people do it all the time. just like busses not having car seats, or airplanes,etc
take the freakin car seat! Who cares what you have to lug.....It's better than lugging a body to the hospital, god forbid. safety first
It's technically illegal. Will most cab drivers care? No... of course not. Kids are in cabs without car seats all the time. However, San Francisco isn't a big taxi city, thus it's tough to flag down a taxi in most areas (as those passing have someone else in them)... so you have to call them. And most taxi companies have car seats available upon request... just ask when you call.
Also, to clarify some other things people mentioned... buses aren't required to have any safety restraint, thus carseats aren't required. Airplanes aren't automobiles, and even if they were, they're federally regulated, thus state/local laws don't apply - only federal laws. And, to my knowledge, there's no federal law requiring car seats.
And you can debate the safety of car seats all you want, blah blah blah... But it's a fairly new law, and I think most all of us here came from an era where we only were put in car seats before we could sit up on our own... by the time we were 2 1/2, we ceased to be in car seats (I don't even think they made car seats that big when I was a kid - and I'm not old, by any means)... and obviously we're alive. So...
i think that it depends on how tall she is and the taxi service that you use some may have carseats that you can use while your child is in the car. But i do not believe that you can because it is against the law to drive on the road in any car without using a child restraint.

Visit the Fortune Cookie Factory in Chinatown. I enjoyed visiting The Herbal Shop. There are many good restaurants in Chinatown and the Dim Sum is fantastic.
The Japanese Tea Gardens in Golden Gate Park are lovely. Ride on a cable car (it's fun!) Drive down the crookedest street in the world, Lombard Street. If you want a good picture of the Golden Gate Bridge, go to China Beach.
In Japantown, visit White Crane Tea Company at Nijiya Market. They sell some delicious teas. Japan Center has some interesting malls. The Peace Pagoda is right outside of the mall. Japantown has an excellent International Art Gallery which is worth exploring. The restaurants in Japantown have authentic Japanese food. You'll feel very much at home there.
More places to visit are Alcatraz, Angel Island, Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, The Embarcadero, Coit Tower observation deck (has beautiful views of San Francisco), The San Francisco Zoo, take a sightseeing cruise on San Francisco Bay and go under the Golden Gate Bridge, and Muir Woods.

San Francisco to Yosemite - where should I stop along the way?
I'm driving from SF to Yosemite. Wondering where I can stop along the way for other fun/touristy things to do... even restaurants, whatever.
it's a 4+hour drive. I need breaks.
For my wife and I, both in late 20's.San Francisco to Yosemite - where should I stop along the way?
On Hwy 120, you should stop at rainbow pools. It's right off the road past buck meadows. Stop there and get directions. It's about 2 miles past there and is only a couple of hundred yards off the Hwy on a paved road. Bring your swim suit and be prepared to have a blast. Iron Door Saloon in Groveland is OK too.

What has been the history of all felt earthquakes for the past 100 years in San Francisco?
Need this for the project. Guaranteed 10 points to whoever can also give earthquake data for the past four years with death tolls, magnitude and location for Tokyo, honolulu, st.louis, yellowstone park, WY, london, sydney, philadelphia, and tehran. A site that gives all or most of these would be the best thing ever. I already have a headache and i've only been doing this for an hour. I've gotten one city compiled so far.What has been the history of all felt earthquakes for the past 100 years in San Francisco?

So what's really wrong with the San Francisco Giants this year?
Defensively the Giants are among the best teams - their fielding percentage is tied for 4th. Their pitching staff is, at the least, decent. They are 11th in the league in ERA. And they have the 9th lowest total for runs allowed. Based on those two stats you would think they should be close to .500 if not in the wild card race.
The problem is offense. They have the 4th worst team batting average and the 6th worst on base percentage. And they are tied for 3rd for fewest runs scored.
What baffles me is they have at least 3-4 players capable of hitting .300+.
Any thoughts on why they are so bad offensively? Age is obviously a factor, but I can't see that being main reason. Do you think the circus around Barry Bonds kept them from really being able to focus as a team? It's probably not fair to take into consideration what's happening now because the season is a lost cause and they are obviously trying different things for next year.So what's really wrong with the San Francisco Giants this year?
The Giants actually have a number of pitchers to build around, namely Tim Lincecum, Johnathan Sanchez, Matt Cain, and if he is ever healthy, Merkin Valdez. There is really no problem there. However, management has constantly tried to patch up the 2002 team for so long that it has finally caight up with the Giants, rendering the team in a neutral state. First, they need to cut the dead weight, namely Rich Aurillia, Barry Bonds, Omar Vizquel, Ray Durham, and Ryan Klesko. The Giants need young offensive players to build around, someone like Fred Lewis.
Edit- Vizquel has proven that he could still pick it at SS. There is no way in hell Bruce Bochy should send out Kevin Frandsen at every opportunity. I just don't understand the mindset in that move.
Besides, I wonder whatever happened to all their offensive prospects since the beginning of the decade? Carlos Valderrama? Todd Linden? Lance Niekro (although his not being on the Giants anymore has more to do with him grieving over the loss of his dad in the offseason than ability)? Trey Lundsford? What happened to these guys (there are others whose names escape me)?So what's really wrong with the San Francisco Giants this year?
as long as bonds is on that team they will suffer and the longer he is there the harder it will be to rebuild as the good players will leave in search of teams that are focused on playing in October rather then revolve around the hype of a steroid abuser.So what's really wrong with the San Francisco Giants this year?
They overpaid for Zito, their best player only plays 3-4x a week (Bonds), and their overall pitching stinks. All their money is tied up in 2 players (Zito and Bonds)

Do you think its fair to be laid off for being gay?
my brother works at Sears, his co-worker is gay and called in sick because he couldnt get the day off to go to a gay pride thing in San Francisco. someone snitched on him and the manager found out he wasn't sick and that he went to the gay pride parade. then she got pissed off and fired him because he lied to her and went to the gay pride rally instead of going to work. she bitches all day long and she had always hated him because he is too social and always wants days off whenever a gay pride rallies come along(not too often) but he always shows up and she just pushes him around all day. he is a good employee but she has said homophobic things before in front of him according to my brother and she fired him. no real reason, so she looks bad for firing him for being gay. its nor right. shes a ***** if you ask me. and my brother took it up with her and disgusted the issue and them he got placed on part time and she said "your on thin ice and im sick of your bull crap, and your gonna be next if you dont watch yourself. Your just looking for reason to get fired arent you and i would be honored to be the person who send you out on the streets". she pciks on my brother too but he sint gay but the manager so unreasonable and complain about everything,yet he si one of the only guys at work who doesn't ***** and gossip all day. he has trouble with costumors and give them attitude sometimes becaue they coem up to him speaking Spanish and then start talkign in English, they assume he speaks Spanish just because he si mexican and then the dam customers always "you should learn to speak Spanish" and they always have trouble communicating with dum customers who have no clue what they are looking for.Do you think its fair to be laid off for being gay?
hmm i would still fire him for lying not for being gay. If he told me he had to go to the gay pride parade i wouldn't care i'd let him take the day offDo you think its fair to be laid off for being gay?
I think she's just a pmsing *****.
As for your question, no, discrimination isn't a good reason to be fired.. There's a law against it, but I bet a judge would rule otherwise for gays. :\
It is ILLEGAL to get laid off for being gay.
However, you CAN get laid off for not speaking spanish. you often have to be able to nowadays because of the large amount of spanish speaking people
don't call them stupid. you're the same way when you go to another country. you seem just as "dum"Do you think its fair to be laid off for being gay?
should have called it a personal day
In some states you can be fired for no reason at all.
He was not fired because he was gay. YOU already stated that he FALSELY called in sick when he was not sick. Employers schedule the number of people they need and EXPECT those people to show up. When people are TRULY sick then it is understandable that they will call in, BUT as you have already stated he was NOT sick. He was fired for lying and for NOT showing up when scheduled to work.Do you think its fair to be laid off for being gay?
He didn't get laid off for being gay, he got fired for lying about being sick.
He is not a victim here.
That's actually illegal, technically, in some states only, actually, but I like to say it is through my ethical standards! :D
According to your own reciting of the story, she fires him not for being gay, but for missing work and lying about being sick.
Also, you said that he gets upset with customers - in a business that depends on customer satisfaction, that's not a good idea.
I think I'd hate fired him too. (Laid off implies there may be a job to return to if things pick up - firing is a permanent separation.)
A person should not get fired because of sexual orientation. She might be a ***** but she did have grounds for firing him. In a lot of companies there is a strict policy against malingering.
if he took the day off when he was told that he couldn't have the day off its grounds for firing him. its as simple as that, He wasn't fired for being gay, he was fired for taking an unauthorized day off. its in the rules, they can do that.its called dereliction of duty and its in the labour laws.
