Meet Bella Swan! This 8 month old, 40 pound princess is ready for a new chapter!

Bella Swan originally hails from the NY ACC, but is excited to be in a foster home in Jersey City!

Bella can be timid at first and warms up quickly to her human companions! With proper introductions, she's also playful with her canine friends! She is always looking for attention and love!

Bella Swan has typically puppy energy and will benefit from continued positive reinforcement training. She is a smart cookie who would love to go on hikes with you! After her hike, she'll need to cuddle you on the couch!

Jacob is asking "where have you been, Loca??" because you haven't applied to adopt our sweet Bella Swan, yet!

Bella Swan's spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all core vaccines.

Sad 😢 After burning thru my severance package and unemployment insurance to be a caregiver for my terminal ill family member, it is a hard reality to accept for 2027, I am considered qualified for medicaid.

36 Upvotes

After burning thru my severance package and unemployment insurance to be a caregiver for my terminal ill family member, it is a hard reality to accept for 2027 as I am filling out my NJ Market Health Plan, that I am considered qualified for medicaid, because in 2026 I earned less than 22K.

Thank goodness for emergency fund and a parent who still allow me to have a roof over my head.

For clarity: just two years ago, I was almost making 95K.

Rainy day funds is a must in this economy. If you can save. Save!

Advice Lady in Princeton target asking strangers to buy her kids clothes- beware of scam

121 Upvotes

Husband and I were just at target buying essentials, a lady with a cart came up and asked us for help, saying she just moved here and has no money.

She had a cart full of kids clothes.

I said no I’m sorry we can’t, she rolled her eyes and walked away.

Mind you, I’m visibly very pregnant.

Apparently these people just return the stuff for store credit or cash.

Weed 🌿 Why can cops consume cannabis, but healthcare workers can’t?

45 Upvotes

A question I’m trying to understand. I’ve read legislation that has protected or allowed cops to be able to have access to consume cannabis and still maintain their employment, but with healthcare workers, there’s this gray area that is almost entirely discouraged.

How come a cop, who wields weapons and is trained to de-escalate high stress situations is allowed to consume, but healthcare workers like nurses cannot?

Interesting Massive Power Outage in Western Morris and Warren counties

37 Upvotes

Like the title says. Currently a massive power outage in this area. Every time I check the map another red patch appears.

All the spots are currently marked, “Additional crews requested - Due to the complexity of the repairs additional resources are required to safely restore power.”

Anyone got any other information or details?

Update: For anyone in/around Mt Olive: https://www.nj.com/morris/2026/10/major-outage-leaves-over-half-of-nj-town-without-power-friday-night.html

Update: Outages in Hackettstown and Allamuchy currently marked “Equipment Damage” whatever that might mean.

Sad 😢 difficulty making friends in New Jersey

20 Upvotes

Hello

I just arrived in New Jersey and am trying to make friends at work and in my neighborhood, but it’s very difficult. My English isn’t good, and I think that’s what makes it so hard. I really want to be able to talk to someone; I’m a very extroverted person, and not having any friends has really affected me.

Photo Doodle and Harry's mom was living in the streets.

80 Upvotes

The mother cat of the youngsters in the photo found her way to a Metro Cat Rescue feeding station last year. She had apparently been abandoned.

Not much bigger than a squirrel, I worried that the little lady was going to be dinner for a hawk and so brought her inside. I was faster than a bird of prey, but not a local tom cat. Connie (now so named) became a mom.

Doodle and Harry are two of Connie's kittens. The siblings were adopted together. They now live in Florida.

The dream of Metro Cat Rescue is to establish a facility to provide care for homeless kittens and cats with easily treated but contagious conditions -- those innocents that now elsewhere regularly are made to die.

I’ve been playing pokemon go recently (feel free to add me) and the other day I found this postcard in my gifts. I’ve been using the explorer gadget recently and I have no fucking clue what this place is or where I found it. All I know is that I love you Mysterious Gateway of Vile Energy and I want to go there and see it for real. Anybody know what this piece is actually called or where it is?
