I, for one. support LHS. It is an underfunded non profit. When I had to go into the hospital for three weeks they took my cats; no questions asked. They even gave them free shots. For that, I give them what I can.

The staff is very attentive to the animals' needs. Please keep in mind that they are a non-profit agency. I got my cat Alice from the JC SPCA. I am so happy she didn't suffer cruelty at the hands of the JC SPCA staff.

That said, I really think LHS should be given a shot at animal control. I think they'd do wonders if they are given city funds.

Edit: if not LHS then who else? The JC SPCA was a travesty. LHS could do such a better job if given the proper funding!

My guess would be that you don't know what an animal might do in that situation. Rather than shooting the non-aggressive one, the police chose to tranquilize it. Unfortunately it died.

Another vote for Sushi Tango!!

I'm really glad it made the paper; even if it's the JJ.

Did other media cover this? I hope so!

I work 3pm-11pm. I wanted to be there tonight (but I HAVE to work to pay for my property taxes!).

I'll call in sick for the next rally.

::cough:: Sorry, I can't come in today. My property taxes are getting insanely high. ::cough::





And I KNOW this is an INSANELY simple idea, but did anyone bring up tax abatements and PILOT programs? Those of us who believed enough in JC and DIDN'T get tax abatements shouldn't have to pay extra to support the luxury high rises or the new office bulidings.

It's ridiculous that City Hall is STILL giving developers these abatements. JC City Hall has been corrupt for eons. It's about time we take a stand.

I told my co-worker what I pay in property taxes. He has a few acres in PA. He wanted to smack me.

I always considered Toms River/Seaside Heights the start of South Jersey.

My ex-boyfriend was in Toms River.

He had to drive 45 minutes to Red Bank for band practice. I consider the Red Bank area to be Mid Jersey.

My 2 cents (for what it's worth)

I took a cardio kickboxing class at JC TaeKwonDo. The owner taught the class. I'm a spazz so when I couldn't get the right moves he would come up to me and say, "follow me." I just got the feeling that he was very passionate about his martial arts; even when it was just a "dumb" cardio class.

There was a kids' class before my cardio class. I noticed how one-on-one it was; the teachers really cared. And I saw kids and parents leaving very happy.

Like I said, it's just my opinion. I just got a really good feeling about JC TaeKwonDo. Like I said, the owner is very passionate about his art: and his dojo.

And it's great to support a local place.

My best to everyone who goes to the rally. (I can't make it because I work nights.)

Give 'em hell!

With the way the JC PO is run I'd be surprised if they didn't hire him to be a mail carrier.

Good work Vigilante! Your JC's own Curtis Sliwa!

I mentioned this incident to my boyfriend (we live on 8th b/w Jersey and Coles) and he said he noticed police officers walking in the neighborhood. Not sure of the exact time but it was sometime this afternoon.

Poor woman! That must have been terrifying! I hope she is ok!

Definitely DO NOT go to Micro Tech unless you are willing to part with your computer for over two weeks.

VERY SLOW with their repairs. The only time they stepped up is when I went in there and made a fuss (read as, I made an ugly scene until they took me seriously). I was going to take my comp back on Saturday and then a MIRACLE happened! They just so happened to get my new fan THAT VERY DAY. I was so pissed off but the part was in and I needed my computer and didn't want to take it to ANOTHER place to wait a week or more.

Long story short, I demanded a guarantee that it would be fixed by today (Monday) or a discount for each day it was late. It was ready today. I told them I would never do business with them and I'd spread the word about poor customer service and poor repair time.

As I was leaving, I overheard another woman say, "I'm here for my computer. You said it would be ready this afternoon. It's the afternoon. I'm tired of the run around."

Caveat emptor.

While I haven't used Damian's services, I must say that he is very knowledgeable and very nice; even offering to lend me a comp while mine got fixed. The holidays are a very hectic time and once they were over, he was always available via e-mail to answer my questions.

He was upfront and told me that I'd negate my one-year Compaq warranty if he or anyone else opened my comp. I chose not to listen.

Just my 2-cents but I think I'll go with Damian next time I have a problem.

The teardrop tatoos should be enough to go on. Not too many people have them in Hamilton Park.

Did the cops show up? Did they take a report?

Gotta say, I am not impressed with Microtech. They've had my computer for a week and a half and can't tell me when it will be ready. All they have to do is replace the fan.

On a side note, I contacted Damian. We touched base via e-mail and haven't heard back from him.

How ironic that the Buy Rite banner ad is at the top of the page! Over 1,500 beers!

Anyone know where to buy saffron?

I have a stained glass replica of Tiffany's A View of Oyster Bay. I had it in my window and the chain slipped and it crashed to the floor.

It's still in one piece but it has three major cracks. I JUST want to get the cracks "reinforced." I KNOW it's irreparable.

I don't want to replace it since my dad (who has past) gave it to me. And Oyster Bay is my home town. I'd rather place it on my mantle. I just want to keep it from falling apart.

I don't mean to be a douche, but it's a private site run by said webmaster. He can run it however he wants.

He allows this to become a bitch-fest so give they guy slack. I would have told you guys to STFU LONG AGO!

I told my Ecuadorian boyfriend that I'd bring this for Christmas.

Look, I'm white. I'm going to have ENOUGH trouble with his moms. She's gonna hate me no matter what.

I just want a good cake to start things of right.

Maybe you can ask someone at the bakery? Maybe they saw something.

Looking forward to it!!!!

I've also noticed this at the intersection of Phillips and JC Blvd and the intersection of 9th and Erie.

Yes, in these financial times let's bilk the insurance companies and screw everybody else when their rates increase.

I work off of Exit 14B in Liberty State Park. I think we've seen Tammy in our parking lot on several occasions.

Trust me, if there's a fire the fire department will use any means necessary to get to the hydrant, including breaking windows and denting/destroying the car.

There's a plant place near the Holland Tunnel on 14th and Jersey Ave.

Comcast charged me a a $10 fee for canceling my cable TV (I still have internet service).

Quote:

My TV died and I can't afford a new one at this time. I turned off my cable TV. I work during prime time so I wind up watching shows on line anyway.

I find I get more things done, plus it's nice to save $85/month.

When and if I buy a TV again, I'll definitely go with Verizon FIOS.

She was only in the mall for an hour and 15 minutes. They were probably roaming the parking garage, looking for trouble.

I hope she's ok.
