16 years of Catholic school taught me that wearing a rosary around your neck is disrespectful. Thankfully the nuns never rapped my knuckles for not knowing about such a transgression as a kid.

My kid is a current college student. Will the loans he’s taken out already be forgiven?

I am in my 50s and after watching my dad slide down the terrifying path of dementia, I purchased long term care insurance last year. The premiums are cheaper the younger you are when you start coverage. My brother purchased a plan when he was in his 30s and the premiums are insanely low. I pay lots more but if you…

Yes at the end of the season, we spoon the pesto into small containers and store in the freezer so we can use them throughout the winter.

I threw a shower curtain with a cool pattern on it and my washing machine removed much of the design :-(

My son drives one while I have a larger Honda CR-V. I’m thinking of asking if he wishes to trade vehicles because I enjoy driving his Crosstrek more than my Honda.

Those were the best-looking Subarus. I was very disappointed when they scrapped the bug-eyes.

I’m a lifelong NJ resident and while I consider Jersey Mike’s to be the superior of the chain sub shops, I can get a better - and less expensive - sandwich at quite a few local stores in my area. Heck, ShopRite subs are a hidden gem.

Jersey Mike’s subs are delicious but they are more expensive than my local non-chain sub shops.

The best Philly cheesesteak isn’t even in Philadelphia. It’s across the Delaware River at Donkey’s Place in Camden. https://www.donkeysplace.com/

Like Jersey Mike’s Blimpie was also born in New Jersey.

Apparently payroll at the Marysville plant isn’t as dependable as my CR-V.

I know that everyone here wants a manual transmission wagon, but you can find incredible deals on manual transmission cars because no one outside of here really wants one. My friend was able to find a manual 2016 Kia Soul for $4900.

I live on the 2nd floor of an 80 year old two-family house. Paying an electrician to run a C-wire down to the basement was too expensive. I sold my free Google Nest for $85. I’d love to be able to turn on my furnace and have the house toasty warm by the time I arrive home. I work irregular hours so a traditional…

I haven’t raked my leaves in years. I just leave the leaves on the lawn and run the mulching mower over them in November. It takes a few more passes with the lawn mower than during the summer, but the lawn appears to be happy in the spring.

I finally got to see a 2022 HR-V. Gosh that thing is bigger than I expected and I own a 2015 CR-V, which is still to large for what I use it for. I’m looking for a small AWD vehicle that can get me and my camping gear to a trailhead or that’s easy to parallel park in the big city.

If I am backpacking I bring along an Anker PowerCore battery but they are quite heavy.

I am considering replacing my iPhone 11, which is mostly adequate for my needs. Its battery capacity is 3,110mAh, so the iPhone 14's 3,279mAh battery doesn’t seem like such a significant battery upgrade.

When my brother and I plan our annual fishing camping trip in the mountains with the kids, we leave my Jeep at home and ride his Honda Odyssey in comfort. That thing easily fits 3 kids, 2 dogs, 2 tents, a 10' x 10' folding canopy, tables, camp stoves, fishing rods and whatever else we can pack. It also handles the…

One of my biggest pet peeves is watching the PATH train from Manhattan to NJ roll away from the station at 2 am just as I am passing through the turnstile. That 30 min wait for the next train feels like 8 hours.
