Hiii as the title says lol I’m looking for a home to rent out for 1 weekend to host my birthday party. In the Jersey city area or anywhere nearby. Please let me know, I am willing to pay whatever price it is! The maximum number of guests would be 20ish but to stay overnight it would be around 4-6.
Hi! I'm starting a laundry service where I'll pick up laundry from houses and deliver it back clean and folded. Would anyone be interested in a service like this or know someone who might be?
I have one extra ticket to ICP (insane clown posse) for Sayreville on Oct 21st 2026, would anyone be down to go with me??
I’ve been working with StinkySocks Hockey on potentially bringing their No Commitment Hockey format to New Jersey, and we’re at the point where we need to get a better idea of how many players would actually participate before they can commit to recurring ice.
For anyone who isn’t familiar with StinkySocks, the No Commitment games are organized adult hockey games where you register game-by-game instead of joining a team and paying for a full season. They handle the rosters, skill balancing and goalie coverage, so you can play when it works for your schedule without committing to an entire league season.
We’ve been talking with a number of rinks in North and Central Jersey and there are some realistic possibilities, particularly around the Old Bridge / East Brunswick area, along with some options farther north.
I put together a short interest form to see where people would actually play, what start times work, how often they’d realistically attend and what they’d be comfortable paying per game:
https://forms.gle/QbUVpwt4U6J4Z8Qw8
This isn’t registration for a game and nobody is being charged anything. It’s really just to figure out whether there’s enough dependable interest for StinkySocks to take the next step and secure weekly ice.
Both skaters and goalies are encouraged to fill it out.
If you already filled out the previous North Jersey version of the form, you don’t need to do it again. Your response is already included — we’ve just expanded the rink search into Central Jersey as well.
And if you know anyone else who plays adult hockey in NJ, feel free to send it their way.
Yes, this question is asked a lot. But, I'm an editor at NJ.com and we are embarking on a new project for the 25th anniversary, where we'd like to have people from New Jersey tell us in a voice recording (call 201-217-2506) their memories from that day. More than 700 of the victims had ties to New Jersey.
Where were you when you first found out what had happened?
What do you remember about the day itself?
If you’re not sure where to begin, tell us about something specific, a conversation, a sound, a feeling, a sound, an image.
What’s the detail from that day that will never fade with time?
You can comment here in response, but what we'd really love is for you to take a min or two to call 201-217-2506 and leave a voicemail. Thanks.
Any book clubs that people in 30s go to? Libraries usually have a lot of elder people, feel left out.
Hey everyone! The Lawrence Hopewell Trail is hosting its annual Full Moon Ride & Walk on Saturday, September 26 at Rosedale Park(Pennington).
It’s a really fun night out where you get to bike or walk the trail under the moonlight with lights, live music along the trail, DJ music, a campfire with s'mores, and local food trucks.
Event Details:
Rider spots are capped at 500 to keep the trail safe, so pre-registration is recommended. Non-riders/walkers attending for the food trucks and campfire don't pay a fee, but registration is still required for the headcount/waiver.
You can grab tickets and read the full FAQ here: https://www.ticketsignup.io/TicketEvent/FullMoonRide
I recently made an offer on a home that went to "best and final."
After the deadline passed, we heard... nothing.
Our agent called.
Texted.
Emailed.
For almost a week.
No response.
Then suddenly the listing agent (her first name Mxxxi) reached out and said another buyer had been accepted with a higher offer—but asked if we wanted one last chance to beat it.
We loved the house, so after discussing it, we increased our offer within an hour.
Then another message came.
"Can you go even higher?" (It turned out that she was bluffing)
At that point, it stopped feeling like a transparent negotiation and started feeling like an auction with no visible rules.
We decided not to keep chasing a number.
Later, once attorney review started, our attorney needed a little time to identify our file before responding. We were working, our agent was with other clients, and there was nothing unusual about a brief delay.
Instead of a little patience, we were told we were "unprofessional."
As buyers, here's what bothered us the most:
If you're asking for "best and final," communicate the outcome promptly.
If there are multiple offers, be transparent about the process without playing games.
Respect that buyers, attorneys, and agents all have jobs and other responsibilities.
Professionalism goes both ways.
Buying a home is already one of the biggest financial decisions most people ever make. It shouldn't feel like you're constantly wondering whether you're negotiating against another buyer—or against a tactic.
Has anyone else experienced something like this?
If you're interested, the Central NJ Book Club will be covering the book "2001: A Space Odyssey" and watching the movie on Wed. Sept. 2, 2026 at 7 pm at the Plainfield Masonic Temple. Feel free to ping me if you have questions.
There is a helicopter flying over in lawrence and princeton. Anyone else seeing this? Anyone know what's going on?
