Do an estate sale. Advertise on estatesales.net

I recommend using someone to run the sale, there are people who know how to price things competitively and move products out. Also they know how to spot “bad actors” and will ban them or keep them out.

Waste no time, this is a good time of year to run an estate sale. Many people spend their weekends going from one to the next.

Good luck!

Immigrants: they get the job done!

Home rule. Beach communities have power.

Watch your timing - college graduations are in May - you’ll pay more for hotels and restaurants will be difficult to get into in some areas. I seek out towns with breweries and distilleries, so Albany is my suggestion.

Here is a link to the site that lists subsidized housing options. See if you are eligible based on your income.

I lived in Boca at the time. That was a wild one.

Definitely thought about the Cubans when I saw this. I lived in S Fl for four years, and the conflictive dissonance of the Cuban expats is a regular discussion.

Those fleeing socialism living off of social welfare programs are the loudest voices.

So…an immigrant supporting an anti-immigrant elected official.

That makes sense.

I’ve used Dawn to remove oil spots.

I understand that you’ve not had good experiences with big chains - does that include Costco? They have a money-back guarantee, so it may be worth a try?

I got it. Mine also had a power strip. The cord is short, but still nice to have.

I’d be happy to take some of your bathroom garbage can liners. Unfortunately, I think you need to include them in your regular trash.

Don't know. I refuse to spend money with corporate welfare sluts.

When one considers her history, I don't know that I'd look to her to create a new party. She's not exactly a model of excellence.

Moving twice in a year is brutal.

Thanks for the response and validation. I hope you are able to get out safely and soon!

Thanks for the validation.

NJ doesn’t have anywhere near the number of transients that Florida has, so the culture here is one of assimilation. Florida people expect everyone they talk with to be just like them. Many lose brain cells when that doesn’t happen.

The northeast is what I call “educated liberalism”, with positions on issues based on careful consideration and analysis. Florida position statements tend to be based on how the policy may directly affect the individual with the opinion. For example, northeastern residents (mostly) understand that immigrants are a vital part of the economy and while often exploited, they weigh the pros (keep service wages low and cost of doing business down) while providing a pathway to a better life for many coming from unstable countries. It benefits all participants in the economy, even if it’s a source of exploitation. Florida residents seem to be either - opposed to immigrants who steal jobs (and unable to substantiate these claims, as overwhelmingly they appear to be doing landscaping or back of the house food service) - or smugly silent, enjoying their inexpensive lawn services and cheap catering.

Finally, on education - the northeast embraces public education and values it as a public good. Florida sees public education as a drain on tax dollars with little return. But let’s be honest, with transplant populations flooding the state every year, why educate locals? Educated individuals are showing up daily, and have a work ethic usually rooted in puritanical values. I saw none of that in South Florida.

Drug use and abuse were on open display, as was excessive drinking in South Florida. I enjoy a drink every now and then, I don’t need several every day to function.

NJ ethos for sure. I bailed out in 2017 and went to Florida . Returned to NJ last year.

Florida is not my America.

I’m with you on the seasonal affective disorder- I struggle with the gray days. I moved to Florida to avoid it and came back last year.

I have discovered that avoiding looking at the gray skies helps me. I set up a project space in my basement and stay busy. I’m on the prowl for some gently used workout equipment (elliptical, and I have a rowing machine) for the days it’s too raw and damp to walk outside.

You aren’t alone. Just know that Florida weather is great. And that’s about all it has going for it.

I use Jamie Gulden in Brick. I’ve been a patient for about a year now, she’s a PA, not GP. I definitely recommend her.

I believe that February and March are going to suck. Like, massive storms and lots of flight cancellations.

I moved to Florida in 2017. Moved back in 2021.

My family and the food were primary reasons. Wages were also a factor.

Aldi was my first choice, but now I shop Lidl. I find their produce to be much better and the stores are cleaner.

Eatontown? Really? Last time I was there the staffers were more interested in their personal cell phones than in moving things along.
