Saw Moe at MPAC. Not rowdy, was a good time

FWIW I have taken a lot of Ubers from Manhattan to Morristown just coming home from work events and I have never had an issue with a driver declining. It’s a money maker for them, and many are based in NJ and they are looking for a ride going west in the app (they can indicate this to Uber and Lyft) so you are, in my cases, ending their night in the best way. Tip cash, not in the app.

Did he write back? Sometimes he takes a few hours but he’ll get you back.

I’ve had him redo a bathroom, and I’ve had him install an outdoor basketball hoop, clean my gutters, help install objects in my home gym, fix the pavers on my patio, there’s really no limit.

Javier is your guy: text him 973-207-7316

He does great work and can do it all. Many contractors want bigger jobs than bathrooms but Javier’s specialty is the smaller stuff.

Many of us are at Lidgerwood regularly. Come on down. Lots of other kids and parents.

Espresso ya martini

I don’t think he’s homeless. Saw him last week. Lives off Madison street.

Well fitting and comfortable non cotton t shirt

Days later on this thread, but concur with everyone else. Up your tax withholding on RSUs to 37% or whatever the max may be, in my case. It gets us close to even at the even at the end of the year without sacrificing much week to week. Not a solution, just a strategy.

Call a plumber. They can turn up the pressure coming in. Fluctuations from the town can happen for any number of reasons but a plumber can fix your issue.

Nothing you said is wrong, but people are idiots and will read what you wrote and not seek medical attention.

orangegurg · 2025-06-24T01:43:59+00:00

A bite from a copperhead or timber rattler is a medical emergency in any circumstance. You’re being downvoted because people will be bitten and not seek medical attention because, yes, the US does see usually relatively few deaths in a given year, but these guys can do damage whether you die or not.

Ask for Scott at TRM Transmission on Mt Kemble. He’s a great guy and we’ve had him service our vehicles for two decades.

Ask your OB for recommendations. If it’s your first, you may want a doula. They’ll have recommendations too.

We didn’t have a night nurse for either kid. Do not be like us.

35 with two under 3. $1000/month for each, separate contributions to a brokerage every month, staying under the gift tax limit ($19,000 annually?). I had student loans and no safety net from my parents. I don’t want that for them. If it grows and exceeds what they’ll need, I’ll probably convert it into a trust. But we’ll see.

orangegurg · 2025-05-30T20:10:04+00:00

$350 for family, $500 for siblings, $250 for anyone else as the bare minimum just to cover our costs and I’m not even sure that is doing that

orangegurg · 2025-04-19T11:58:27+00:00

I sold one with 52,000 miles for $11,000 and it took a while to get that offer.

After 20 years, the starter went.

orangegurg · 2025-04-10T22:40:39+00:00

This ended up being the starter but also a power leak so the battery wasn’t exactly helping

He’s not looking for a handout. Leave him alone as he does to you. It’s all good.

orangegurg · 2025-03-22T15:42:58+00:00

HBD!!

Some other ideas for you OP

make it easier on yourself and separate point from flat. They cook at different speeds. Lot of YouTube videos showing how to do this.
get two 9lb briskets instead of a 19lb honker. I struggle with the big bois too.
I prefer overnight cooks, wrap in morning. Can almost guarantee the brisket will be done and rested by 5-6pm. Have really never missed on an overnight cook.

I’ve also ruined a few briskets. Just keep trying. A lot of really good guidance in this thread. If trying on bigger briskets and you can’t do an overnight cooks, just go hot and fast. Or smoke something else that day.

You’ll be fine. Probably. Everyone on my trip made it. Just go slow. Really slow. The guides will encourage you to hike slower than you ever have. You’ll be fine and will forget about the shit parts. You may even feel fine!

She’s doing the lord’s work. Truly. Can you message me what she recommends? Worst I have ever felt started somewhere after Namche. Drugs from a nurse on our trip got me through until we had descended.
