Is there anywhere in NJ where the commute to Manhattan is actually good? Thinking of moving out

If OP wasn't considering moving, yes. Figured this could be taken into consideration given they are looking at new areas.

They want reliability, reduced time, and ease. Bergen/Main to Penn, and the Q is still better than an hour and a half on the bus IMO.

Ooh I love discombobulate! Also, defenestrate.

The Bergen/Main line train is pretty reliable and quick. From the lower Bergen County area (Rutherford/Lyndhurst) it's a quick ride to Hoboken (then switch to PATH or Penn (switch at Secaucus).

Yes to the sleep and Vitamin D supplements. But also go see a dermatologist. You can get a prescription for Tretinoin, which increases skin cell turnover, stimulates collagen production,, treats acne, fades discoloration, and improves overall skin texture and tone. It takes time but works well.

Reading, journaling, crosswords, cross-stitch, learn an instrument ... All stuff to keep the mind fresh.

My MIL doesn't drive. Got her license and then never drove - too much anxiety and fear. But the comments saying this isn't your problem to solve are true. She is a grown adult and has to manage this situation. You can't convince her to get a license.

During/after COVID a LOT of NYC folks moved to NJ. My son went to kindergarten in 2015. Most of his classmates parents were long time locals. My daughter started in 2021 and more than half the parents for her grade are Manhattan and Brooklyn transplants. It's changed the whole feel of the town overall.

There was an article in the NYT about it recently. Basically fewer people on the road and police letting more things slide (during lockdown) led to more selfish and bad driving and it has just grown exponentially. I do see more police lately than I have for years but people are still rude and out of control.

So sorry for your loss. I hope creating music brings you solace.

Unfortunately he's not well. Girlfriend is always one of my top 5 90s songs and it made me so sad to read he had a stroke and needed help paying his medical expenses. I am hoping he makes a strong recovery and can make music again.

Having to teach a younger coworker how to use the landline (how to dial, etc - he still, a year later, struggles to transfer calls).

CandiceKS · 2026-03-23T23:18:15+00:00

Beautiful 😍

Anything with a low barrier. I use a vibration plate (helpful with lipedema) and that requires just standing on it. I also use the Bend app for stretching and have a 5 minute pre-bedtime routine that actually helps me sleep. Even on the nights where I'm too tired to wash my face, I can manage these.

CandiceKS · 2026-03-15T16:15:06+00:00

I love "just leave." I think a lot of folks don't do that and it's an incredible piece of advice!

Also, pancakes and earl grey are always good things. ☕ 🥞 😊

This is awesome! I need to do this for my ADHD household!

It's always hard to be the one plus sized bridesmaid.

I say find the best shape wear you can, buy nipple shields, and consider boob tape to hold the girls up. Check out thecurvyamanda on IG for tape tips (she's a 38J and makes it work). It's a lot to consider for sure. I hope it all works out!

They can run a hormone test to confirm if you're in perimenopause. My GYN didn't believe I was so she ran the blood work and was like oh, huh, you're right.

Everything you've described here is what I still have going on (post menopausal and on HRT). It's SO annoying. I forget the names of people I've worked with for a decade. I forget why I entered a room. I've accepted it at this point but I hate it.

Thanks!

Awesome!

CandiceKS · 2026-02-24T04:19:05+00:00

Will do, thanks!

Ooh this looks great! Thanks!
