"The N.J. Family Leave Act forbids employees on leave from performing services full-time for any employer for whom the employee did not provide those services before beginning FLA leave. An employee on FLA leave may work part-time, but not for more than half as many hours weekly as the employee regularly works for the leave-granting employer. Employers may not forbid such part-time work."

So if you want to work for your current employer, you can, but for not more than half as many hours as you worked before. I had an employee who did this while on NJ Family Leave. You can't work at all for any other employer either full-time or part-time. It's pretty straightforward. You can wrestle with the cash options on your own.

My heart goes out to Mr. Seabrooks and his family, and I understand where these advocates are coming from, but I'd love to hear a more concrete suggestion than "de-escalation" and "connecting people with the support they need." Those are empty platitudes, not solutions for handling violent episodes.

Sending social workers into a situation where a man armed with a knife is threatening to harm himself and others is not viable. The police are always going to be involved in incidents like this. So what, specifically, should they do differently to prevent tragedies like this from happening in the future?

It was probably just a large raccoon and the mud made it look bigger. Really wet mud can make a track appear larger than it actually is.

possum?

A bigger raccoon?

In the early 2000's I ran into him regularly along the shore. Still not uncommon, he's a fixture like the ocean.

oooooh i can see me! did you get any closer? it was wild seeing them rip the side of the building off, as well as chainsaw a hole in the side of the building

Chupacabra? Coyote?

I'm not sure. I have certainly seen some red foxes with bodies bigger than those of a typical raccoon, but that doesn't mean they have proportional paw sizes.

There was an old article in the Press or a magazine interview Bruce did and he mentioned meeting my brother at the beach in Long Branch

very possible. But are their paws bigger than a raccoon's?

Raccoon tracks look nothing like bobcat tracks. Maybe a red fox?

Pretty sure he even wrote a song about his love of red heads too

You couldn't avoid Bruce if you were out and about in the 80s. I'd either see him at a bar or he's hop up and play a song or two with the band. Headliner, Xanadu, Stone Pony.

I was a 18 and worked at 7-11 in Belmar, this musician used to come in on the weekends and brag how Bruce had a crush on his sister, I was like ok dude, whatever you say. That guy was Patty Scialfa's brother.

Fast forward to 2006, I belonged to the Atlantic club, lots of times I'd be lifting weights right next to Bruce. There was a hot redhead, the young mothers all loved him, but this one was all over him. I saw trouble, there was trouble, Bruce likes redheads!

That’s what I meant, obviously it’s still illegal but no one will know

Getting cash doesn’t make it legal, nj just may not know about it

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

If you’re collecting $ from NJ you cannot work, it’s illegal. Unless you’re getting cash obviously

Wow finally.. yes I think you'll find someone for that rate if the hours work for that person. Keep looking for a friend of a friend of a friend. Thats your best bet

Broad street diner is on... Broad street, not too far from the arena and family friendly. Used to eat there a lot. There's also Angie's in bordentown but that's a bit south of the arena. I think pats diner has alcohol but the diner is low quality and icky. Killarney's in Hamilton is a bar that I often went to with my kids, and is my biggest suggestion. Their food is great.

Basically don't look in Trenton, try Ewing and Hamilton instead.

Agencies make a shit ton so I'm looking to work directly with a caretaker for around 45 an hour cash. Being that the average hourly for this is under 20 I feel an untaxed 45 is fair considering I need someone to just microwave her food and make sure she is clean.

I guess it depends on how active the group is! I usually see multiple comments and there’s usually at least someone who knows of someone or can at least offer advice

This is the only way. To have family help, whether for a few bucks or not

I bet they never actually fond someone. I only see posts lookin for these servies- never offering

You realize this is a shit ass job? Think about how much you'd have to make to do this job.. then add business costs on top and taxes too. ... only a truly wealthy person can pay to have someone take care of them.
