File a police report, detailing these events, calling it "attempted theft." Nothing will come of it unless the police decide to visit the landlord, but it will then be on the record.

Contact their HR Dept. for suggestions.

Oh! Come on, now! Don't be a pansy!

If your singing sounded terrible then it probably sounded exactly like Springsteen. I mean, Springsteen, from all accounts is a great guy, but his singing ain't no better than Dillon's!

If we want good singing, we'll listen to Mario Lanza, or even <shudder> Sinatra. Not Springsteen!

Besides which, it sounds like you may have influenced some Bostonians to stay clear of Jersey. I mean, those drivers there are crazy, a real menace!

Carry a stout walking stick and strike any part of the car you can reach as he drives by. When he stops, immediately charge him with assault with a deadly weapon, assault with intent to kill, reckless driving, and anything else you can think of to add to the complaint.

Not to mention that it makes no sense whatsoever to have a parking lot by a building and NOT to have bolsters there to take the first impact from a runaway vehicle. Any business that lacks these has some liability when a vehicle come through their front wall.

Boardwalk, boardwalk and downtown shops and restaurants, Silverball Museum.

Just watch out for the parking regulations.

That boom may have been a transformer explosion. That could be very local (one street) or over a wider area.

In any event, call the power company and report your outage. They WILL NOT send anybody out to investigate if you (or a neighbor) don't report it.

That's gonna be real fun when the air bag inflates.

Maybe Lambertville Flea Market ("Golden Nugget")?

Maybe on of Ocean Grove's craft sales days?

It's called a "proxy war." I have no doubt the Pentagon is drooling over this opportunity, especially in the way Ukraine is kicking Russia's ass. This is exactly why the US and NATO will deliver everything they can to Ukraine. I would surprised if NATO countries are NOT encouraging their warriors to join international regiments in Ukraine.

It really is exactly as Moscow is saying -- they're not just fighting Ukraine, they're fighting NATO. So f*****g what? FAFO.

I should add: I oppose war. I've never seen a war that was justified. But in this case it's Russia that isn't justified -- Russia that caused this war -- and it would be wrong not to support Ukraine's efforts to remain free.

No, no! You don't get it! The police solved this guy's mental health problems permanently! /s

Neptune is fine. There are apartments in or nearby, but I don't know anything about them.

Consider hiking groups (e.g., Sierra Club, NY-NJ Trail Conference, Appalachian Mountain Club, or maybe some local groups). Bicycling clubs (Princeton Wheelpersons -- or whatever PC moniker they assumed, Central Jersey Touring Society, etc.). Check out events and classes at county parks and colleges. Consider volunteering (Volunteer Match, or similar sites, maybe a first-aid squad if you're into such). There may even be hope for ski clubs (Princeton Ski Club, or others). SEAS if you're into sailing, or want to be.

Nature clubs are wonderful, but most of the participants will be middle aged or older. Great people, though, if you just want to be around great people: NJ Audubon, local Audubon Societies, Native Plant Society of NJ, maybe even the NJ Invasive Species Strike Team (which likely has younger participants).

I've heard similar stories from a person whose "old family manse" (NOT) is in that town. I think many small NJ towns are overdue for a legal shake-up. Double dipping seems to be the norm in places -- like when a certain Lt. Gov. employed a retired sheriff (IITC) and modified his job title so he could double-dip (get a salary while retaining his pension).

AFAIK, there's no legal requirement. However I suggest some family photos (maybe with dates visible) to show that you're together. Better yet, include friends and neighbors in the photos so they can confirm your relationship.

This probably won't be an issue unless parents and kids look different. I think it was in Texas a few years back that a white grandfather was handcuffed when he was taking a walk with his "Black" (biracial or adopted -- I don't recall) grandkid. Gross overreaction by the cops.

Rt. 9 Farmers Market in Freehold is really an indoor greengrocer with a fish counter, a dairy fridge, a deli counter, breads, and a flower counter. Prices and produce are good. (I don't shop the fish or deli.)

Columbia Trail through Ken Lockwood gorge begins in High Bridge.

Henry Hudson trail crosses the Shore Line in Matawan.

D&R Canal trail can be accessed from the Dinky line to Princeton from Princeton Junction.

Another commenter mentioned the proximity of the Edgar Felix trail to the Manasquan RR station.

The Raritan River end of the D&R Canal Path is only 1.3 miles from the New Brunswick train station.

The worst is attitude that if you're driving in the left lane you MUST exceed the speed limit by 15-30 MPH or you're in the wrong. I use the left lane for passing slower cars, not for speeding. I do exceed the speed of the slower car by 5-10 MPH to avoid their "speed matching" me (which can be either a normal reaction or their just being a butt hole). I do return right ASAP. But just because you want to criminally exceed the speed limit doesn't mean I must as well.

Also up there in rude behavior (or outright stupidity) is failure to keep an adequate distance from the car ahead. The NJ Drivers Manual tells you to stay THREE SECONDS behind the car ahead. If you do that you vastly reduce the chances and the consequences of a rear-end collision and you make zipper merging feasible.

Classic BS: I'm in the right land and ahead is a row of cars entering on an on-ramp, maybe 1 or 2 car lengths between them. There's no way I can engage in a zipper merge with them. I can either continue and cut them off or I can move left. THEN when I move left, they all speed up ABOVE the speed limit, effectively trapping me in the left lane. To be safe I would need to merge right between two cars who have left a six-second distance between the -- but that will never happen in NJ.

Almost look like the meter reads W-hr, not kW-hr.

Contact the BPU. I wouldn't even contact PSE&G first. It's far easier to contact the BPU than to contact any utility.

Well, at least you've got the right attitude.

However, be sure she's onboard with it. Women may wear impractical clothing and shoes to a date, and that could screw the experience for her.

I suggest not packing a lunch, but hitting a deli counter at some "name" deli and splitting a sandwich (which are too big for one person anyway). You'll need to be near a bench or some other place to eat it. Advice from hiking: Bring a lightweight 30-gallon trash bag, which you can spread over a wet bench.

Museums can be cheap, and there are some interesting ones there -- about the only justification I know of to visit NYC.

A show can be good, but TKTS is a gamble and can eat up your day waiting. I prefer not to bother.

You've got to be kidding.

Maybe a romantic walk through Central Park and a hotdog at a stand?

I always presume it's gonna cost me $100, minimum, just to get in and out of NYC in one piece.

It was true when I was looking.

That's good information, but now look online and notice that there are very limited choices available commercially. I recently had to buy a scratching post for my sister -- who knew what her cats preferred -- and I wasted hours looking for one.

Right. Tell that to my friend who has three devices like scratching posts for her cat but still it damages her furniture.

Agreed. The only folks I know who declawed their cat strongly regretted it later. (The cat lived a good, long life indoors.)

OTOH, what is needed is some research (even if it's only compiling what's already known) on how to keep cats from ruining furniture, wall paper, curtains, etc. They can be terribly destructive indoors.
