Newish Microwave Went Up In Flames
Replace the oven. You will never be able to trust it again, and it will want to burn your house down sooner or later.

Curious to what you support?
If people want to end their life, that should be their business and there should be means for them to do it without outside help. Get a drycleaning bag, a tank of nitrogen and waft off gently to sleep. No need to involve the medical industry. Perhaps the biggest concern with widespread legalized suicide is that some people - perhaps many people - will eventually be coerced into considering it. You can be 100% certain that there will be conversations taking place that sound like, "You know granny, your quality of life seems pretty low and you are becoming a bit of a burden. Maybe it is time that you think about offing yourself?" As the other side says, "If it saves even one life..."

Anyone fly out of NYC airports with handgun recently?
I would not even bring myself to a NY airport.

Now the question is does anyone (aside from BLF) actually possess all of the firearms pictured on the sticker? I think I am missing three...

Enforcement of Alleged 30 Day Time Period
The government is breaking the law. Why would anyone then expect the government to enforce it? This would be like catching me tinkling on your lawn and then expecting me to tie my weenie in a knot in response.

OMG food prices..geez!
Costco food prices have gone up precipitously (20% or more) over the last 2-3 years.

9mm M1 Carbine
So just to try to wrap my head around this, if Daisy made a BB gun replica and it was stamped M1, it would be illegal in NJ. Those must be some dangerous words.

Looking for a lever gun
Do you like the Rossi? I have a Henry 22 that is great, but I am leaning toward a Rossi for a 357 lever. Reviews for them seem to vary incredibly. Most people like them, but they seem to let a lot of lemons slip through.

Looking for a lever gun
I hate the loading mechanism on the Henry. I would much rather have a gate on the receiver. Much easier to feed while shooting instead of screwing around with the loading rod. It's the only thing keeping me from buying one.

No More Square For Gun Purchases
If the courts were not so biased someone could have a field day with this. How can you decide not to allow someone to sell a legal product? This is akin to square saying your can't use it to sell birth control pills or to conduct business with black people. Restraint of trade...

The Star-Ledger advocates mandatory confiscation of New Jersey guns
Star Ledger is on me like herpes. I cancelled my subscription like 2 years ago and it keeps coming. I called them like 5 times. They say they can't cancel my subscription because I don't have one. Small wonder they are gong out of business.

The Star-Ledger advocates mandatory confiscation of New Jersey guns
I'll reserve my true thoughts until this thread lands in the litterbox. Until then, don't waste time writing to the SLEB. They don't care and they get a kick out of it. Write instead to the advertisers and tell them you will never use them while they support the SL.

Anyone know of good jewelers in NJ
If you are new to buying diamonds, get a book and read up on it so you know the lingo and the high points well. Search on Amazon and find a book with good reviews. Next thing is price a lot of stones and settings someplace like Blue Nile so you know some ballpark ranges. The prices on things are relatively fixed - a ring that weighs x amount of gold/platinum with y quality stone should not vary widely from place to place unless the setting is very intricate. If you want more stone, skimp on the color a little. Someone might try to upsell you stones by placing them on a white piece of paper. Against skin, a slightly off color will not be noticed. There is also some room to skimp on clarity. Remember you won't be looking at the stone through a 10x loupe in daily use. Look at the stone in a variety of high and low light settings. Get a 6 point setting so you don't lose a stone. And as you suggested, find someone you like and trust and provides good service. Since the prices are fixed you have to look for other benefits. If they are still around, Phillips and Fredericks in Bernards/Bernardsville/Bedminster provided great service.

Who do the Giants lose to this weekend?
It looks like the answers to the OP's question is going to be "whoever they are playing."

Safe act
Just do what I did - cut a big hole in the floor inside your front door and throw a carpet over it. Works on Jehovah's witnesses, too

Another Victim of Senseless NJ Laws
She should just stay in PA and they should refuse to extradite her. Why wouldn't a state want to protect its own citizen against NJ idiocy?

Adios NJ, moving to Phoenix! Any advice?
Advice? Don't look back! Congrats and good luck!

Training an "experienced" gun owner
Always best to be around newbies with long guns - harder to sweep (or at least more apparent).

West Deptford police station shot up in drive by
I'm surprised stuff like this doesn't happen more. It would make a good gang initiation ritual.

Robin Williams
But so far, it has never made me unhappy! RIP Robin. You were a nut-job, but we will miss you.

Abandoned trailer on my property. How do I go about registering it for use.
Have you threatened the owner? If there is paperwork with the state saying he owned it at some point, tell him to come get it or take him to small claims court over the cost to have it removed.
