Re: what to bring to jury duty?

Also, you can leave if you sign out. You'll have to go through security again, but I would get fresh air, grab some coffee/snack for 10-15 min and that helped the time go by.

Agree with all previous comments, but also bring an open mind, not to sound like a douche. I was actually pretty impressed with the staff, communications and process when I served last February. It really was well-run, and while it's certainly not fun to have to be "stuck" anywhere, it's really not that bad.

While of course I feel for the family, I do feel terrible for the driver if it's true there was no wrong doing. It's easy to blame drivers with so many hit/runs, phone use, reckless driving, etc., but ever since my husband and I years ago saw a girl run straight into a cross-street by the tunnel and was hit by a van who could have done nothing differently, I have empathy for drivers who were doing nothing wrong and now live with this guilt.

Jose I believe is expected to turn out to sea, though of course everyone is watching to be sure.

MDM, can you explain the 3 red lines? I follow Joe Bastardi on Twitter and wondered this. Are the left and right lines the borders of the cone, and the middle line is the projected track?

You seem to be the only one caring about this. Most of us are taking what information MDM is sharing and just using it as a heads up. No one has remotely said they are fucking stocking up on water or gas....

You either don't understand what "hype" really is or you never have been impacted by flooding in JC. MDM's posts are always informative and helpful for those residents who prefer notice of a potential storm earlier rather than later.

Re: Dear Person Stealing Tiny Flower Pots from Our Stoop...
#13

Just an update to this...

Tonight my husband saw an 8-year old girl and her mom rip a flower from our friend's pot. We yelled at them but the mom could give two shits.

They were walking down 5th toward Coles from Monmouth. Mom was Asian with long brown hair, big dipshit sunglasses and a small dog. Girl had long brown hair as well. Mom pretty much looked like a vapid asshole on her cell who could care less.

Our friend had witnessed our pots being stolen back in May and confirmed this description matched who he saw. So if you happen to see them doing something similar, it's a habit.

A few days later, he found one plant partially dislodged, and a trail of blood drops down the sidewalk. No further vandalizing of his plants ever occurred.


OUCH!!!! Best idea I've gotten on this thread :)

It's nice to know that there are a fair number of non-crap moving companies in the area. They're usually tough to come by. Thank you for the recommendations, all!


I plan on calling soon. Do you mind me asking when you're moving? I have never used movers before and wasn't sure how much time we should allow for reserving them. We are moving 6/29.

Re: Jury duty questions
#20
Home away from home
Home away from home


I did my 2 days in Feb. The juror management staff do a great job of communicating what to expect and keeping you updated. They acknowledge jury duty is not exactly loved by the public and show their appreciation. You can also leave for short breaks as long as you sign out.

I did get called near the end of the first day for a case. You then go into a courtroom and the rules are more severe: no cell phone, food, drinks, talking etc. I had gone from essentially working on my laptop to not being able to communicate with anyone (which sucked because I was right in the middle of buying/selling a house). You can ask to be excused and go into the hallway.

By the middle of the second day they had their jury and we were released. It was a smooth and, actually, interesting process.

I need to start training for the Newport 10K. I usually run down 6th, cut over by Battelo, go around the lighthouse and then head into Hoboken along the water. Can anyone give me a sense of whether those areas/sidewalks are pretty clear? Seems like a lot of melting had happened.

Thanks!

I literally just kicked off a project at work to do research to explore the "branch of the future" and what that means for customers/employees.

I know I personally go into a Bank of America branch only when I absolutely need to: money order, large withdrawal...maybe 1-2X a year. They have kiosks now that are starting to offer many of these services.

I welcome everyone's thoughts to add to my data :)

Thanks for this reminder! I went to Key Food today and bought a ton of canned and packaged items. I then brought my daughter with me to drop it off at St. Lucy's. They were very kind and appreciative and we put it directly into the kitchen where 2 lovely volunteers happily took it. I'm sure it'll be put to good use.

I think these feelings may temper as everyone begins to see that the "showman" Trump will be more even-keeled as he approaches the office (i.e., not completely repealing Obamacare).


If you haven't already, you should read this:

I?m a Muslim, a woman and an immigrant. I voted for Trump.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/gl ... igrant-i-voted-for-trump/



Thanks for sharing. It's been interesting to hear why so many people felt they needed to be secretive about voting for Trump and why the polls weren't representative of reality and this silent group. PBS Newshour had some great segments tonight from diverse voters for both candidates and from high schoolers. Mark Sheilds, Democrat, and David Brooks, Republican, reflected on the results and they both agreed that the worst thing anyone can do is assume that the extreme versions of either side represent the majority, because they don't.

That's a good point. Remind me, what did "progressives" say about that issue? How did it turn out? Are they making the same arguments now?



Left didn't like it, and right won't like this. Everyone is a hypocrite.

All of these crimes, including the people who lied, regardless of side, are wrong.

But even many staunch supporters of Trump said that they didn't always like what he said, but they liked that he was an outsider and not a politician. I can respect that. It's the subset of supporters, who I like to believe don't represent the majority of his followers, that now are latching onto the hateful aspects of his platform and taking it as carte blanche to do these awful things against others.

All I'm saying is that he needs to come out against this if he meant what he said about unifying the country.


Please provide proof of one act of physical harm that a Trump supporter inflicted on an innocent person.

Not social media accounts where there is no evidence apart from a self-serving post (and usually the "victim" didn't even go to the police). And not hateful words, because as bad as those are, they don't compare to beatings, two examples of which I posted.

In the absence of actual proof, there is nothing to denounce, apart from general statements that we must all come together.

Alternatively, I'd be fine if he denounced the wrongdoers on both sides (because there probably are some Trump supporters that did say hateful words to people). But I resent the implication posted here that minorities are being victimized by Trump supporters when there isn't actual evidence of that, and when we do have proof and video, the evidence tends to show the reverse.

Doesn't it seem odd to you that most Trump supporters live in rural areas yet these "hate crimes" allegedly are occurring in very liberal urban cities?



You're right. I don't have that video "proof." Perhaps I'm just as disgusted by words and attitudes as I am by actions....
