Thank you. I’m very glad the vast majority of this subreddit gets the point. I thought it would be a fun way to fight back.

By the way, Paul Fireman used hundreds of millions of taxpayer money to help build his golf course.
“The cost of cleanup was picked up by taxpayers, and the developer would be allowed to build a course atop the site at its own expense, under strict regulations. In recent years, Liberty National's price tag has been reported as $250 million. About 90 percent of that figure were Superfund cleanup costs.”
We should send him the bill and use it to deduct against acquisition cost as a “down payment” from the taxpayer.

From JFK take the bus or subway to Port Authority bus terminal. Drink and party in Manhattan until 4 am (last call). Catch a 6 am bus to wherever you need to go in NJ.

I remember the one in Brick on Chambersbridge Rd. There's a Best Buy and some other stores where it once was now. I also remember the Chanel store on Rt. 37 in TR. That's been a few things over the years but it's now a Stop N' Shop.

Couldn't agree more... moved back to jersey after a lifetime in California and was literally in shock at what other white's would say to me. The 'white wink'...

I've always wondered if people called route 81 (which passes through Hershey) "The Hershey Highway"

Same! We went to Mystic with a group of friends a few times before any of us had kids, and we had a blast!

He used taxpayer money to help build his golf course. And lots of it:
“The cost of cleanup was picked up by taxpayers, and the developer would be allowed to build a course atop the site at its own expense, under strict regulations. In recent years, Liberty National's price tag has been reported as $250 million. About 90 percent of that figure were Superfund cleanup costs.”
Hell, we should send him the fucking bill.

That Edison Rickels had a Mental hospital behind it, long before Target came, now there are apartments where it use to stand.

Only the eastern rattler and cottonmouth are dangerous snakes in this state. That's neither. The only dangerous wildlife here is bipedal. The rest are scared of the humans.

Most times you are fired, you are penalized two weeks then can apply/resubmit. Those 2 weeks get tacked onto the back of your claim. You just have to explain that it was an altercation outside of work. Or if it was in work that you were assaulted/defending yourself. If it didn’t happen at work you’re good,I would say.
I would think gross misconduct would be child abuse, or a criminal act such as rape .. not simply assault. …..Haha every construction worker in the state would be disqualified at some point if that was the case.

There was a Rickle right around the corner from me until Home Depot moved in. Never saw a business kill a competitor so fast.
