Not sure where you’re located but there’s a GREAT one in Freehold that gives back to the community . Also LGBTQ+ friendly. Here’s the link to their website. They’re always in need of items to sell. Also an incredible food bank next door that will take reusable bags.

Sure is. Profanity and the middle finger are indeed protected by the first amendment.

I learned that many townships and their respective corrupt municipal court judges are trying to bankroll their town's coffers by having cops arrest law-abiding for mundane and non-existent laws.

If you want to be done with it, the VNA Rummage Sale opens up for donations on April 8th at the Far Hills Fairgrounds. They will take almost anything and won't be overwhelmed.

If you want to make money, I agree that hiring an estate sale company is for the best.

Reply to Petition for the Removal of the Monroe Superintendent and Bully, Chari Chanley by PitifulDaikon4178

I went through the Edison school system. Graduated in 2018. Our BOE has regularly consisted of the same 8-10 people if not all of them. Nobody wants to run for BOE because they won’t win, it’s virtually impossible. They keep trying to “diversify” the schools, and the school atmosphere. That’s a load of bullshit! They aren’t trying to diversify the district, they’re trying to make things easier for people more like them(the majority of the BOE is indian and Asian). They had cricket fields installed at some of the schools, I’ve never seen them used ever. They want to pass a referendum or whatever to pay for expanding some of the schools. Reproduction isn’t the cause of our fucking schools getting jam packed. It’s people moving in rapidly. If mfs stopped moving here, the schools wouldn’t be over populated. Instead of trying to raise our taxes, and use budgets on expanding schools, don’t fucking touch our taxes, install a/c in the schools(a/c was limited to very few classrooms if any), and stop people from moving in and enrolling! The school year has changed drastically too, from 2005 to now, I’ve seen so much bs taken and added to the school year calendar. Holidays used to be, 2-3 day fall recess, thanksgiving break, winter break, spring break, Memorial Day, Presidents’ Day, and 2-3 emergency “snow” days built in. Now the damn thing has thanksgiving break, winter break, spring break, Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, and a bunch of random religious holidays not named Easter, Xmas, the fall Jewish holidays(I don’t remember how to spell them, parents are Jew tho…), and Passover.

Legally? You have the right of way if you enter a crosswalk. Logically? I never move through a crosswalk without 100% direct eye contact. If you’re walking for health/mental health, instead of assuming people are courteous at a high-traffic intersection, it’s better for your headspace to avoid crosswalks by turning at the intersection and continue down the side street. Eventually, you will only have two directions of traffic to worry about.

I mean, you’re 100% in the right. But, fuck it, you don’t need to BE anywhere or rush around or make a point to some lunatic in a giant ass SUV… passive walking. Nameste alive.
