Monroe Superintendent gossip? As a former student there, please allow me to share this gem from the last crazy superintendent when I was a student.

Gonna need a roommate, a one BR not in a shitty location will probably run you closer to 2k, maybe a bit less

It’s amazing how, when the mature seed pods break open, the seeds explode with enough force to propel them several feet away.

Of course they are. It's the only reason police unions exist.

I'm only shocked they were actually charged.

Reply to NJM car insurance worth the switch by Cashneto
I recently switched from Geico to AAA since I already had homeowners with AAA. Only saved money because of the bundling otherwise Geico would've been a better rate.

Reply to Question about Thrift Shops by Chemical_Gur7314
We recently had to clear out my mother-in-law's apartment. Things went a few different places...
-
Electronics - I have video game collection, so I'm constantly selling old electronics on eBay to fund that hobby. So electronics went to me to resell.
-
Furniture - We have a pretty active Buy Nothing Facebook group in our area and we were able to get rid of everything of hers except for a couch and her bed in a weekend. It can be a little hard to get people to show up promptly, but it wasn't really too much trouble and a lot of people were clearly happy with what they got.
-
Housewares & Clothes - We ended up just dropping this stuff in some bins in a nearby church parking lot. If anything was 'great' then I probably would have added it to the Buy Nothing stuff, but most of the stuff was pretty old. Not 100% sure what happens to this stuff after it goes into the bin. Either gets donated places or ends up at a thrift store that generates money. Either way it's better than going in a landfill.
If we had more time and more need to get money for the stuff I probably would have had a garage sale first and then donate whatever didn't sell. Not sure it would have been worth the time. It's enough work just giving away a bunch of old crap!

If you have the option at FDU I'd take it (my alma mater), you won't find much under 1800 honestly. Madison is super close to Morristown where there is plenty nightlife and activities.
Parsippany is close to Whippany though and had many apartment options when I lived there back in the day.

My sister works for NJM and she doesn't have NJM...
I swapped from Geico to Plymouth Rock and they gave me so many perks I can't even remember them all. They were super friendly.

Chick weed. A common spring weed. If you feel the need to get rid of it, a single application of weed-b-gone will take care of it without killing your lawn. Takes about a week for it to shrivel up.

Your child’s care is the most important thing, as you know. Secondly, the educational system here, while not perfect, is really good I’m told. Unfortunately for me, my kids live in upstate NY.

Reply to comment by Weedarray in Update Regarding Nazi State Trooper by prof_cunninglinguist
When I saw Rage this summer at MSG the place EXPLODED once it got to that part. I’ve been to dozens, maybe over a hundred concerts at this point in my life and I have never experienced anything like it. It was incredible.

They appeared seemingly out of nowhere on my street about 10 years ago and have taken over. I now uproot them into the compost pile. Other plants like clover are welcome on my lawn but these guys and dandelions can fuck right off.

Reply to NJM car insurance worth the switch by Cashneto
I was hit by someone with NJM insurance and it took a full year to get any sort of payout from them even though she was 100% at fault according to my insurance & police, NJM claimed I was 25% at fault. They also only offered to pay 75% of repairs that were left to do AFTER I had already paid to make the car driveable, even though they are liable for that damage as well. It was IMPOSSIBLE to get ahold of my claim rep and she only offered the full amount they’re liable for after I threatened her manager and the managers managers manager with a law suit. I can’t imagine their customer service for actual customers is any better.

Reply to Does anyone have a microclover lawn? by thrwawy5599
My husband reseeded our lawn with this: Fleur De Lawn. We love it! Definitely noticed more bees and bugs in the lawn than before plus it’s beautiful. He was planning to just rent a tiller but we were able to find a decent one on Amazon. The whole project was a lot more work than was expected because of the grade of our yard, so we definitely would have spent more renting one.

People walking out of Lowes Depot with a cart full of RoundUp or the like to kill some weeds along with maybe, just maybe their kids, def worth it.
Yes yes, I know "we investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong, we just pay these lawsuits out of the pious goodness of our hearts"

Yeah those aren’t weeds. You can usually find those at your local dispensary 😉

Montclair has a lot of restaurants and bars but it is very expensive and tends to cater more to young families.

Yeah, we know. We all got the alert at 10pm last night. Thanks for waking me up, asshole.
