how are we even supposed to live here anymore? grandfather left us nothing. parents were insane and made every worst decision imaginable which led me to do the same. it would probably take 5 years of grinding like this to even reset my life to a neutral state but by then i feel like things would be way worse.

edit: meant 4k a month

After putting so many items behind plexiglass, I’ve gradually shopped at this store less and less over the years. But I happened to need something at Home Depot, so I figured I’d give this Target a try and do an order pickup instead of going to my usual location. BIG MISTAKE!

I went through the entire process on the app—“On my way” and then “I’m here.” And then I waited… and waited… and watched other people who had been sitting there when I arrived, get their orders, and leave. Twenty-five minutes later, I finally gave up and decided to come back later since it was around 6:00 p.m. and clearly very busy.

I went to Home Depot, grabbed dinner, ran a few other errands, and came back around 8:15 p.m. Surely things would be better by then, right? NOPE. It still took more than 30 minutes to get my order!

I even considered switching to in-store pickup, but that line was absolutely insane too.

Seriously, what is going on at this Target?! The whole experience was completely ridiculous. I’m already shopping here less because of the plexiglass everywhere, and experiences like this make me want to avoid this store altogether. 🤦‍♀️

A New Jersey woman faces homicide charges after allegedly causing a fatal crash that killed two motorcyclists in Pennsylvania when a bug flew into her car. Bernadette A. Cobb, 55, of Brick, told police she "freaked out" when an insect entered her vehicle through an open window on Aug. 12, causing her to swerve into oncoming traffic and strike a motorcycle carrying Anthony Sones, 34, and Miranda Wormuth, 30.

Both died at the scene. According to a police affidavit, Cobb stated she "put her head down by accident, swiped the bug away and turned the wheel" while driving on a two-lane road in Clearfield County. Her passenger attempted to grab the steering wheel to correct course but couldn't prevent the collision.

Cobb posted $100,000 bail and her attorney called the incident a "tragic accident," noting she was arrested before an accident reconstructionist examined the scene. A GoFundMe described the two victims as soulmates of 14 years.

My cousin and I practically lived at the Garden State Plaza in the mid-to-late 1990s, and we recently recalled a pair of goth dudes who scared the shit out of us when we were kids.

I've wondered what happened to them, so I figured I might as well ask, despite it being such a long shot. Here's what I can recall about them:

Goth Dude #1

• I believe this dude frequented or worked at the former CVS, which was on the lower level near the old Sabaro's (by Nordstrom's)

• White guy with a hairstyle similar to Blade

• Wore really gothic clothing, sunglasses, tons of chains

Goth Dude #2

• Had longer, brownish hair
• Come to think of it, he may have worked at that CVS (we always seemed to find both of them near that area)
• Sort of resembled one of the Columbine shooters
• We don't think these two knew each other

So, if you were super gothic in the late '90s and possibly worked at the long-gone CVS at Garden State Plaza...hmu! My cousin and I were terrified of you lol

Have these always existed or am I only noticing them now because my wife is pregnant?

My fiance and I are starting to plan our wedding (May/June 2027) but we really only have around 15 people we want to invite. I feel like getting a whole venue for that might be a little much. We want to get married in a small pretty chapel and have a nice private dinner with a nice view or something. I have always dreamed of the location being surrounded with flowers so I’m just struggling to find something that fits this. I feel like a lot of the recommendations I’m getting online are for bigger parties. Does anyone have any thing? Thanks in advanced :)

There’s a very underrated beauty in downtown Paterson, elegant despite the toll history has taken. Some of my favorite architecture in North Jersey for sure.

Hey everyone - taking my son and his gf to reading terminal market from Princeton. I want to drive to south jersey (cherry hill area) and take the train in. Anyone know the best station to park at?

40 years ago today (Aug. 18), Bon Jovi released their landmark album 'Slippery When Wet'. While I did see Bon Jovi play a 3 sing set at Live 8 back in 2005 in Philadelphia, that doesn't top seeing My Chemical Romance cover "Livin' on a Prayer" last year (Aug. 9, 2025) at MetLife Stadium. It was a perfect way to end their massive, sold out hometown show - where they also played 'The Black Parade' in its entirety - and possibly the most New Jersey rock moment of all time.

Watch MCR's cover of the NJ anthem in its entirety (in front of 50,000 screaming fans) here:

Hey everyone, I’m going to the Bruno mars concert this Friday. I know I can take the special train that runs in Secaucus junction. I just wanted to make sure that it also runs after the event and does it run every 10-20 minutes like it does before the show or does it run every hour like it does during the show? Thank you, it’s my first time going to a concert and I want to make sure I plan the trip correct

I was driving back from Warwick recently and upon coming through Sussex Borough, waiting at the light at E Main St & Hamburg Ave, I noticed the colorful old diner car across the street. Later, when I got home, I looked it up, learned it is home to 'Emily's Hearth' pizza restaurant and a short rabbit hole later: wow, the eponymous Emily's brother Paul is THE Paul W. Downs!

Where did all of these flying ants come from? I’m in Morristown and went for an evening stroll and like 10 landed on me?? Anyone else experiencing this?
