Anyone live in NY City, Long Island, New Jersey area?
Posted By: mac on 2006-11-14

I have a question. If I fly to Long Island/Islip (Southwest) but really want to get to Jersey City, is there an airport shuttle or bus or something that I could take to Jersey City? And do you have any idea how much that would cost? I am not even sure where in Jersey City I need to get, probably a train station. Local train, not Amtrak, not sure what they call it there, maybe "path" or something like that.
A ballpark idea would be helpful, especially since I am not even sure where I need to get in JC. 
TIA!

I live in the Kansas City area. If you google habitat for humanity website
you can put in her zip code and it will search for the nearest re-store. It's pretty awesome. It's a big warehouse down in the industrial area of my city. You just walk in and start looking. I was thinking of doing ceramic tile on my kitchen floor cause they had a ton of it cheap. Next Wednesday, the 22nd, kitchen cabinets are 25% off, although alot of the cabinetry looked a little rough. Some of the stuff is things they have salvaged from other remodels.
I'm getting pretty psyched up about all this! I'm one of those women that loves using tools, especially power tools!
I live in New Jersey
About 25 miles from NYC. Can you fly into Newark? it would be easier to get to Jersey City from there. Where in Long Island are you flying to? A lot of transportation around but not sure where in Long Island you are flying to. JFK and LaGuardia are the only other major airports I know about.
If you are going to NJ, fly into Newark, not out on long island. sm
Anything you would gain in profit on the flight, you would eat up on transportation to NJ.
Long Island Ice Teas
notice I said pleural here  I love em' and can drink many! What a drink!
try this company - in Huntington Long Island
I don't buy from them online as they only recently (last year or year before) put together the website. When you order from them, they also send 3 samples too for free. They also, twice a year, have 20% sales, in March and September. Name is Scentsational of Huntington, Long Island (NY)

Long Island IcedTea, ahhhh. just one, tho - with a straw.

Honey, I grew up on the south shore of Long Island, NY in hurricane territory...
ya know how to duck and cover. I've never been through a major earthquake or a real tsunami yet though. Hey, there's always time for that.  Cat
Well, I live in a big city and it goes on here all the time. Sickening.

If you lived in the huge city where I live what you said
might make a difference in whether you lived or not. On a daily basis, people are shot and killed here for less than asking what a teenager was saying and I am not talking about 1 death, talking 3-4 a day. We just had a child killed here when a young kid (male) got upset with the a neighborhood family, went home got a gun, sprayed the home and killed a 2 year old child in his mothers arms. If you wanted to approach the parents, a lot of people only take up for their children and think you are in the wrong for approaching them! I have grown children and of course taught them right from wrong but I am not into trying to kill myself by responding to a small aleck kid. You can ignore and then again if you would like to come here and do that, give them your life. Your choice. You cannot change every smartie kid you might run into- and then you might not have to change anyone for long… I say just ignore. I have got more sense than to get myself killed over nothing.
Better rules than to live in trash city
I live to live a little better upscale life than that. It is my hubby, me and the furries and that is so good for me. No kids running thru the yard, no knock down, dragouts. Living in the country or city does not guarantee you good neighbors. Trying to sell 6+ acres of lake front (not where I live nor have I ever lived there) but in the country and those people on each side the neighbors from hades. They wanted to buy from me and I would not sell to them but that is in the country and ??? If you call making sure your kids nor animals don't roam and no beer battles, neighbors with their loud, obxious music and shaking my home a problem, not for us. We absolutely love it and by the way, the cost of these homes really keeps that rift-raft out, thank goodness! You pay for what you get.
Anyone know anything about Block Island in Rhode Island. nm

Again - We live in a very rural area
Our cats were not only our pets, they served a purpose too. We have fields all around the house and the cats kept mice out of the barns and out of our house. We had our cats for 10+ years and they did just fine until SILs dogs moved back to town with her.
My animals are all checked regularly by the vet because we live on a farm. They probably see the vet more often than I visit the doctor for my checkups.
It is unbelievable how many nasty witches come out on this board when a person asks for a suggestion to help with a problem.
Everyone is such an animal lover but so quick to kill an animal or cut off ties with a family member because of an animal. Talk about double standards.
She loves her dogs like they are her children.
Not one single person who has responded with a nasty comment even came close to making a suggestion that would satisfy.
KILL THE DOG! DON'T GET ANY MORE CATS! That's it?
A friend just suggested that the SIL's dogs be kept in a kennel/dog run if she absolutely must keep her dogs up here.
WOW! How's that for a humane solution.
For all of you out there who were so nasty. Try to put this in perspective.
Since she cares for her dogs like they were her children, think of it that way.
I may not like her dogs because the one killed my cats but I was trying to be mindful of how she felt about her dogs too, as I feel about my children.
Forgot to add what area I live in...sm
South Mississippi
Hey Reporter I live in the Syracuse area too
And my parents live in Utica. Small world. Do you work for a National?
Not mentioned, but a family member loves the Myrtle Beach area, very metroplitan, but they live

If you live long enough, you will get to where
you do not feel like you have to give and by that I mean anything, ever. I give what I want to the person, charity, whatever I want to give to. No one should expect me to do something. I give from my heart and when and where I want. I know how to say yes and no.
The Jersey Devil!
I grew up in South Jersey, and I was told about the Jersey Devil. It's a local legend, and it's a long tale. But if you Google "Jersey Devil" you'll see that this story has some oomph to it! I believed it as a child, and I think I still believe it! In any case, I still get the willies when I'm camping in the Pine Barrens at night!
New Jersey Shore
Anybody out there from the Jersey Shore......SOUTH?
RE: Wildwood, New Jersey
Our family and our friends and their family are going to Wildwood this summer. A neighbor told us to stay in Wildwood Crest, but I noticed that staying in plain old Wildwood is a whole lot cheaper. For those of you who have gone or live in New Jersey, is there really such a big difference between Wildwood and Wildwood Crest. There will be nine of us and I'm trying to find a rental for the week. Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
Can only remember 1 thing - we would go to the Jersey - sm
shore every summer for vacation since I was a baby; and for years my brothers and parents would tell me that Egg Harbor (we went over it on a bridge) had eggs floating in it, hence the name. Every time we'd cross the bridge I'd be looking for eggs. I believed that for a while (probably 9 or 10), took me a while to figure out they were pulling my leg. They never told us any weird things though; and I don't do it with my kids though my DH does sometimes to my chagrin.
Formerly from Jersey, up there called it stuffing, down here they say dressing - HUH?

Philly/South Jersey accent
I have a Philly accent, though not as pronounced as some. I definitely say "wooder" for "water". But I don't have that over-long "Oh" sound that you hear around Philly. I do say certain phrases that are Philly-distinct. Like, "I'm gone downa shore," which means that I plan on going to the New Jersey seaside. And we tend to say "yiz" for the plural "you", using it the same way as southerners say y'all and New Yorkers say yooze.
Oh! And I do shout out, "Yo!" when I want to get someone's attention.
Galveston Island
Many years ago (1982) we vacationed in Galveston Island,Texas, which I really loved, but I'm sure it has changed a lot since then. . Key West was fun but a REALLY long drive. . My favorite ocean vacation is still the Myrtle Beach area.
Dump them on an island.....
let them fend for themselves.
I'm from Amelia Island, Florida (sm)
If camping is not your thing, you can look up vacation rentals in the area and get great deals on condos and/or hotels during that time. It is located just past the FL/GA line so very North Florida, about 1/2 an hour before Jacksonville. It is a small island, one of Florida's oldest cities, and an old pirate town. The streets are lit up at night downtown with lights in the trees and many of the streets are brick. (Can you tell I love it?) If you are looking for a beach area with more entertainment, such as Ripley's museums, etc., a similar but somewhat busier beach town is St. Augustine, FL. I will try to find the Website I usually use when looking for rentals and post that later in case you are interested. You can get some really good deals this time of year.
LOVE Amelia Island
We went there several years ago while visiting my sister-in-law in Jacksonville - I picked out a house there and would love to live there some day - hey, I can dream.
I would take Neti to desert island. sm
Used to have to take 2 Sudafed (the real kind) and one Benadryl per day, then had to go to Allegra D every so often, just to keep ahead of my allergies. If I use the Neti Pot every day, I might have to take one sudafed a week, and we are in the Ohio Valley, which is apparently where all allergists want to live - very profitable for them, ha!
Seriously, i would take it to a deserted island if i had that option. It's that good.

Bought some Avon cologne Island Vibe - daughter came by (sm)
and tried some. She was ecstatic. Said it was the old Malibu Musk I used to buy them from Avon in the early teens. I can't even remember the name Malibu Musk. (I do however certainly remember their teen years for other reasons).
Anyone else tried this or remember the old scent. Seems like her olfactory memory was really triggered by this one. She spent a long time chatting about the "old days" over this.
I was in British Virgin Islands last week and it was 5.78 on one island we visited. Nmsg.
no msg.
Depends if it is long with pregnant pause um no. If it is long and juicy like an op YEP! Short ones

I had it during my pregnancy a long, long time ago. Husband

Calling all you animal lovers - live and let live or intervene? - sm
I have a dilemma. I am an animal lover and have something I cannot come to a conclusion about. At a restaurant where I eat lunch every Friday with a friend of mine, I have noticed a young male kitty hanging around outside looking for food. This past week he ran up to my friend and rubbed her legs and quietly meowed. I purposely did not try to pet him because I knew I would get attached and ignored him. Well, ever since then I find myself thinking about him and wanting to rescue him. Meanwhile, I already have 4 inside cats (2 rescues, 2 Maine Coons) and hubby really does not want another cat in the house because a few years ago I promised we would never have more than 4 (had up to 5 at one point previously). I actually have a huge screened deck he could stay on indefinitely because I do not believe in letting cats run loose for their own safety. I could provide plenty of food, a warm place to sleep, and veterinary care. At some point I would even probably work him into our household, but I just cannot do it at the moment. Just not sure I would be doing right by that kitty because I am sure he would be upset and confused for a good while as to where he was and what was going on, but is that better than being hungry and cold? I know there are lots of animal lovers out there. What does everyone think??
How long is too long to wait for Pap results?
This is a follow up Pap for an abnormal one a few months back. I have waited for the results for over a month and have called the office once. Any advised about being a patient patient - LOL. Its hard when your in this business, I think anyway, not to be more aggressive about stuff like this.
I'm a live-and-let-live person but had to draw the line
after I found HUGE holes in the walkway between my house and barn. I thought they were just little mice stealing grain, but then I spotted one and it was a HONKIN RAT! My poor olderly cat was out there with me at the time and saw it, and he hissed at it and ran away!
I asked for advice on what to do at a local agricultural board, because I have other animals and didn't want to use poison and conventional traps weren't working. They advised putting a large pale of water out with some seeds floating in it, figuring the rats would go for the seeds and end up drowning. That was a no-go because the water just froze up solid. I wound up reluctantly going with Decon because I just can't have my house destroyed. I haven't had seen any more rats or evidence of them stealing grain, so I'm guessing they have died. The guy at the grain store promised me the rats would not die in the building and stink the joint up, rather they would crawl off and die outside. I don't know if I believe that, as it is still winter here and decomposition would be holding off until it warms up. We'll see, but at least the destruction has been halted.
Good luck and I too say have no mercy, because you just don't need them destroying hour house or causing a spark chewing wires and burnin' the place down. It is war!
 (How un-PC is this emoticon?!)
best city
Believe it or not, Cleveland, Ohio. I've lived all over the Midwest and East Coast and loved Chicago and Minneapolis, but the people in Cleveland were definitely the friendliest. Easy to make friends and cost of living was pretty decent. Also lots of fun night life and great museums.
Sex and the City is definitely up there at the top. nm

what city are you in? nm

Know the city well, you can get 1 of the
weekly hotels and live from there. I would not like this situation at all- if he has worked there for awhile, just making until May should not make that much difference. Had home right in Atlanta and sold year before last, moved further towards Rex.
So he's never even been TO the city before? sm
Just from what you've posted, it sounds like he is sorely underprepared to take this job. No sales experience and never been to NYC, but taking a job doing cold-call sales in the toughest city? YIKES.
NYC is great city, full of life and energy, but man you have to be prepared.
LOTS of info can be found online, of course; just start Googling. Everything from maps of the subway system, to where to park, etc. Travel guides at the bookstore can help.
Seriously, what kind of a company gives the new guy the Manhattan territory? And then gives no informational support? The whole story gives me a bad feeling. Hopefully I'm just missing details.
sex and the City
I know some of us are working tonight, like me, but have any of you seen the movie sex and the City tonight and how was it? I hope to see it this weekend between shifts.
Sex & the City, plus
1. Anything with Ben Stiller
2. Anything with Sarah Jessica Parker
3. Anything with Angelina Jolie
4. Anything with Madonna
5. Anything with Brad Pitt
Make them live outside? This is so funny! Ours live outside, where they WANT to be. sm
Not all dogs want to be in "indoor" dogs, mind you. They have plenty of space to run around and play, fenced, and if they are brought in during bad weather they whine at the back door to go back out! So before you comment on outside dogs, you really need to get your facts straight. Seriously. Not all dogs are made or want to be inside all of the time.
New York City
Does anyone know if New York City is extremely crowded on Black Friday? I'm going on a bus trip that day to do some shopping. Just curious if it was as crowded that day as it was the week before Christmas.
I pay $85 in a big city, but she does spend 45 sm
minutes or so washing, cutting and styling may between chin and shoulder length hair. Five minutes is ridiculous. I don't see how they can even do a good job in that amount of time.
Yes, I know $85 is high (plus tip). I have just had so many hack jobs at less money that I got scared and went to a trendier place in the city.
Is that the one where the girl goes to the inner city...
to live with her dad after her mom dies and she gets involved with the black student and she auditions for Julliard?
OMG - I love sex and the city
Just heard online today it is confirmed, they are making a movie. Can't wait
But is that not rural and not city
taxes? I had some property in the country, 200 something compared to my city home of over 2,000.
Not in city limits
We're about 2 miles out of town. Of course the town is 8500 people. A well known town, but small, nonetheless. :-)
City in illinois
Its Oswego. Lived around here forever
City in Illinois
I was going to put this on the state board for Illinois, but I noticed that no one's posted there in months. The doctor is stating the patient worked at GE in s/l Owings, Illinois. I googled cities in Illinois for the correct spelling and I can't find anything even close. Any ideas?
