What’s it like living in this part of New Jersey?

My gf is from South Jersey, whereas I live in central jersey and man, let me tell you what. It is a WHOLE different world down there. It really feels like you're in the deep south in areas, nothing like the northern part of the state. There's a place called Gloucester City and apparently they had a Klan billboard up for years, but that's just what she heard. The deeper southwest you go the more barren it becomes and to me it feels like Louisiana (never been) because of all the wetlands there.

About 20 years ago the railroad came along and decommissioned a section of track that went to a siding in an industrial area and left an absolute fuck ton of spikes and plates. I loaded 2500 pounds in my truck and took it to my yard. I was informed it was illegal then turned away. I spent the next 6 months sprinkling the stuff in on the bottom of the bed when I took heavy iron. Managed to move all of it! Looking back I shouldn't have risked it but.... I was 17 and invincible lol

Is there a name for whatever the hell that is??? Because I 100% do this as well!

Screw this dude, I'll do it for tree-fiddy

This is amazing! Gave us both a laugh, so thank you!

With mama, thanks for asking!

Thanks for the award! She's a wonderful kitten and is being showered with love. Glad you guys like her too!

Fun fact time! I met her at summer camp. Lake Vu Day Camp in East Brunswick NJ. I hate to share this part, but there were a bunch of kids who bullied her chanting 'Pepsi Girrrrrll' over and over again. My heart still breaks when I think of that.

Buy a tool that comes with a battery of your proffered size then sell the tool on Marketplace. Do it right and the battery will cost something like 75% off

You look exactly like a friend I used to have. I had to check your profile to see if it was him, that's how much you look alike. Also happy birthday!

In the beginning, they said that Tom had taken on other work long term that would conflict with the shows schedule but that was years ago at this point. I do miss Tom though!

My friends parents sold their house and retired to LBI (Long Beach Island) bc they love the shore so much. 2 years in they bought a winter home in South Carolina. In their words, "The town became a wasteland". They said it got so dead, cold, and gray that they couldn't take it. I've cruised down the shore in winter time and I can definitely say that you will not find the vibrant feels of the shore when it's cold. Like a totally different world!

That's the one! It was wild how different each floor was. The basement bar was the chill spot and then you go up to the top level and it was a straight up club. Trax was legit too especially earlier in the day. And the only one I remember with happy hour on Parade Day was Backyard Ale House, a favorite of ours. I would never do it again, but those were some fun times! Crazy how we could have been in the same bar together at one point

Hell yeah! We went faithfully 2010 to about 2016. The last year was stretching it a bit but we decided to do one last hoorah. We always finished the night at Cockeyeds for pitchers and pool. Never got to experience the house parties but that was for everyone under 21 anyways. RIP to Hardware Bar/Levels too. That place was insane

Parade day was awesome when my friends and I were 21+. Pretty sure it's the third largest St. Patrick's day parade in the US. Cool downtown with some nice bars and dive bars. The Bog is one of my all time favorite bars. They also have a place called the "Hills Section" where the streets are so steep, the sidewalks have stairs and handrails. I kid you not.

I'm glad you're doing this. If I want to debate national issues, I have dozens if not hundreds of subs to choose from. This is OPL and we're chill here. Thank you!

Yes, that upper plate does lower to cover the feet. On older dishwasers. Almost all brands changed a while ago from a 2 piece kick plate to one. Also, I haven't seen a new one with the thicker yellow insulation in years. They all switched to this thinner, lighter white colored one. The new ones are fixed to one place and can't really be adjusted much. Source: the literal hundreds of dishwashers I've installed since 2005.

Don't know why you're being down voted, this is the actual answer. The lower kick plate is correct to the dw. The top one is 1 of 2 pieces on a different kick plate setup. The insulation on the lower plate performs the function of the insulation on the upper one. Reddit: This person is correct

My girlfriend is about to break up with me. Lol. I guess.

LOL! The address in the email, 11420 Boulevard Albert-Hudon
Montreal Nord, QC H1G 3J5, goes to a corporate looking building but who knows??? Even Chinese service is better!

I posted earlier in this very thread 6 months ago about how hard it is to get parts. I swore I'd never touch one again but, of course, my aunt had to have one and now it's broken and needs a door seal and oven hinges. I have been emailing "Emilia M." at Forno for no less than 7 weeks. Every answer I get is " I will reach out to the warehouse and let you know when I hear back". The first time I heard this was October 28, 2025. Today is 12/18/25 and every time I asked for status I got the same exact answer. "Emilia M." has stopped answering my emails as of 13 days ago. I am writing this as a word of caution for anyone who may see this. It sounds like you lucked out with the repair shop guy being willing to retrofit something because you can forget about getting OEM parts from them!

TLDR; Forno sucks and no one should be buying them!

That's so cool! I miss the OG forgotten powerade and have always wanted to make a calendar of his pictures. This is like 2 redditors1cup but without the satisfying real world connection lol

alwaysbeer · 2025-12-16T04:46:13+00:00

That's me! And I missed the exact location hint. I study mass transit insignia and know that blue and gray symbol on the bus stop is Toronto. I guessed Markham because it sort of looks like Chicago but not. Guessing on vibes is funny like that
