At least you're consistent.

I saw that checks started going out last Friday. Anyone get these $1,400 Biden Bucks checks yet in their bank account?

How about because there was no snow "down there", and limited rain the past few weeks, along with low humidity and high winds? Amazing how fires happen in those conditions.... It must be Trump's fault...

Ha Ha.. ..."Adam Ruins Everything - Why the Myers-Briggs Test is Total B.S. Despite its mainstream popularity, the Myers-Brigg personality types are as scientific as a childish parlor game." In reality, if you need a personality test to tell you who you are, there's bigger issues going on... All you should need is to look in the mirror...

I think you said in the past that you had a DVR that records at the shop for those cameras, right? If so, you might be able to go into the settings on the DVR and specify the port to use. I can change it on my DVR. My HTTP port is 85, and my Server port is 6036. It's been a while, but I think I remember going into my router when it was replaced, and opening those port numbers, so I could access the DVR from my phone app and computer. Hopefully, that is the issue with yours.

Also check to see if he needs to have a port opened on his router. I had to do that on my Comcast router, to access my DVR. I believe Comcast, by default, blocks common ports used by camera systems.

Last update I heard an hour ago, Parkway still closed both ways at Mile Marker 90 (Route 70 area), and fire is only 40% contained.

Does that price include installation?? But seriously, anyone who has a portable generator needs this. It makes life so much easier. I installed a similar one, and having the ability to plug in the genny, and flip switches to power circuits is a breeze! No more dragging extension cords all over the place.

They can pass a hell of a lot of crappy bills in two years.

Below is the link to the state wide transfer agreement. If the kid comes out with a AA or AS, half of their required credits have to be accepted by the 4 year school for the four year degree. Example, if the 4 year degree is 128 credits, 64 from CC will transfer. Like I said above, sometimes you have to fight for it. When my youngest son transferred to Kean, I had to go there in person, with him, to fight and get ALL credits transferred over. If you don't push, some schools won't transfer, because it's a business, and they want you to spend 3 years there. https://www.state.nj.us/highereducation/PDFs/XferAgreementOct08.pdf

Like I mentioned above, it use to be the law (not sure if it was changed) that if a kid graduates from a CCM with a AA degree, ALL credits earned MUST transfer to a state school. Now, if the kid goes out of state or to a private 4 year college, then they can evaluate which ones transfer. Bottom line, and something EVERYONE who has kids that will go to college, college is a business, and they want to milk you for every dollar, and keep the kid there for as many years as possible, so they can collect tuition. They DON'T want to transfer CCM credits, because the 4 year school wants to charge for the kid to take NEW ones... Keep that in mind when fighting with the entrance office.

Maybe not freebies, but here is the BEST way to go. Been there, done that with 3 kids... Have her go to Community College for the first two years to take all the basic classes, and graduate with a A.A. degree. Will save TONS of money not going to a four year school. Then, with the A.A. degree, EVERY credit transfers to a four year state school, even if it's not a exact match. Then, have her stack up classes at the four year state school over two days, three at most, and DON'T live at school, but commute. There's NO benefit in living at college, except to blow a bunch of bucks.. This way she can work part time a few days each week, to help pay as she goes.. The key and goal is to get a four year degree at the LOWEST COST!!! Regarding scholarships, there are tons of businesses, companies and organization that give out small ones, in the ranges of $500 - $1000, but if she gets a few, it can add up. My son applied for scholarships from companies like Walmart, Comcast, etc. and ended up with enough to pay for his Community College, with some left over for the 4 year school.

It just needs more caffeine in the morning. Maybe Maks needs to change the forum from decaf to high test.

In my town, they told me someone works part time on permits, like one day a week. These aren't a priority for the PDs... they just get to them when they get to them. Probably don't have the budget to hire additional manpower to process additional permits, or just not important to them, compared all the other important, everyday crap.... like eating doughnuts...

Every town/PD does things differently, at different speeds. You can't benchmark anything based on what a different town does. When I was in Jackson years ago, the PD was dragging their feet. I sent a really nice email to the Chief asking if he could provide me any help. I got a call the next day from the PD that my FID and permits were ready. My last set of permits sat on the Chief's desk for almost 2 weeks, waiting on his signature. These applications AREN'T priorities for the PD, they get to them as a secondary process, and as mentioned above, applications are running at least 40% higher than last year.... They're swamped....

Man, I just love the work these K9s do.... Everyday, unconditionally, they go out and get their perp and get the job done, everytime! Give this K9 a nice juicy T-bone steak!! ...."The call came in around 9 p.m. on a Thursday night that a clerk at QuickChek was robbed at knifepoint. Cops responded immediately to the scene and gathered information so they could track down the perpetrator. The initial search turned up nothing so the cops brought in the cavalry! The heroes of today's story are Somerset County Sheriff's Officer Shannon Snook and K9 Officer "Basilone". Basilone picked up the scent of the perp and was on the trail after a report that the perp was last seen running down Bound Brook Road. Basilone got the job done, tracking the suspect to a residence on North Lincoln Avenue." https://nj1015.com/somerset-county-sheriff-k-9-tracks-down-armed-robber-bluefriday/?fbclid=IwAR0XWf_2OG5HEQRgqkJr-OC1TfKPR2l74nJFhRaGe1mXTrSZGfaoibuvqXI

That's the deputy chief. The Chief is Edward Niesz.

Bingo... good like finding someone who can pass that or a drug test...

I just saw someone post a question regarding this waiver. If they're going to waive taxes on that first $10,200 of unemployment funds, will they do that also for all the regular taxpayers too, who didn't collect any U.E. money? It's only fair.. Or, will the people paying taxes from regular wages get screwed..... again.....?

Look on the PD web site. I looks like the format is first initial, last name @manalapanpolice.org https://manalapanpolice.org/contact/

Most police departments don't give a crap about the law (time to process). If you bring it up (the law), you can expect a longer turn around time. All of them now are extremely over worked with tons of new permits. Suggestion, try contacting the Chief, and pour on the sugar, heavily, sometimes that helps move the ball down the court.

Exactly... they saw the $600 or $300 direct deposits, with nothing withheld for taxes... It should be no surprise, but many are clueless.. Too late, looks like it was included in the $1.9 TRILLION stimulus bill signed by the Senate today. It waives income taxes on the first $10,200 in UE payments. I believe this is retroactive for 2020, so those who already filed, will need to do an amended return. Yep... UE extended to September with today's passed bill, with a $300/week kicker on top of the normal U.E. payment... what low wage person will go back to work with getting those lottery winnings?

Seeing more and more reports that people who collected unemployment (and pandemic $600 and $300 kickers) are getting large tax bills when filling their taxes. Seems the majority didn't have taxes withheld on their U.E. checks, and now when doing their 2020 taxes, are seeing BIG tax payment due. I know there were a few here who collected U.E. last year when everything closed down. Just a heads up if you haven't done your taxes yet... you'll be in for a big surprise. ....."Rose is among millions of unemployed workers facing surprise tax bills, ranging from several hundred to several thousand dollars, and many say they just cannot pay. For tax purposes, weekly unemployment payments count as income just like wages from a job. But few people realize the money they get from the government is actually taxable. Fewer than 40 percent of the 40 million unemployed workers in 2020 had taxes withheld from their payments, according to the Century Foundation, a left-leaning think tank. For people who have been without a job for nearly a year, finding money to pay their tax bills is yet another financial burden coming at a fraught time. Advocates for the poor as well as some Democratic lawmakers are trying to get these tax bills waived entirely — or at least reduced."

Kinda off topic, or maybe not. CJRPC is in the process of a big land swap with NJ DEP, so maybe they're holding back with new members until that dust settles. JACKSON - The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and a local gun club plan to trade two huge tracts of land in Jackson and Upper Freehold, a unique swap that both sides say is a win-win. Some environmentalists worry it's too good to be true. At issue is a 46-acre parcel in Jackson surrounding the Central Jersey Rifle & Pistol Club, currently owned by the DEP. The property has known lead deposits, the result of the 61-year-old club's members firing high-caliber rifles and shotguns at its big bore and skeet shooting ranges. In exchange, the Central Jersey Rifle & Pistol Club purchased a nearly 87-acre tract adjacent to the Pleasant Run wildlife management area in Upper Freehold, part of the Crosswicks Creek watershed area already designated for preservation. The additional 87 acres will also be preserved, the DEP said in a report detailing the land swap. https://www.app.com/story/news/local/land-environment/2021/03/04/jackson-nj-central-jersey-rifle-pistol-club-colliers-mills/6902350002/

A mind is like a parachute.... it only works when it's open. You stated in your OP that bedside safes suck, but make sure you buy one anyway.... because reasons...
