I’m one those people. I just decided to buy a house in Ironbound a few years ago. Just gotta be smart with money. I sometimes splurge on sneakers, collectibles and firearms. But, still have enough to put away towards retirement, mortgage, and a little extra of play money.

It is what it is. Just have to move forward. Doesn’t stop me from competing on the courts. Thank you

Lucky you, but It’ll happen eventually. I’ve lived here 30 of 34 years of my life. I spent almost two years in Great Lakes, IL and then another two in San Diego. Served on Coronado, in the Naval Air Station.

I’ve faced racism in all three places I’ve lived. Especially in New Jersey; specifically Jersey City , Newark and Elizabeth. I still get that to this day when my fiancé and go to Jersey Gardens. The black youth there mockingly speak some form a Chinese language or shout a Chinese dish to my Korean fiancé.

You must not play basketball. The level of racism , especially in an outdoor court is unbelievable. It’s justified as trash talk apparently, but it’s still annoying. Hearing that I should be playing soccer or baseball because they think I’m Latino. Or call my younger brother Jeremy Lin on the court because he’s Asian. He’s gotten called Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, even Shang Chi more recently.

But enough about the race stuff…Moved from SD back to Jersey City, and man the cost of living is way higher. Had to buy a place in Newark. Sorry for the long reply

I like Nino’s Pastry Shoppe in Trenton. I’m from Newark, but I always stop at Nino’s when I’m in the Mercer area once a month

I don’t remember how, I did this a while ago. But if you open the app, on the top right should have a 🔒 symbol. Touch it in front of the Onyx Lounge door and it should unlock. Since you said you have access. Hopefully this helps

Dude, why would you post this here? Some employee at any of the Gateways can show this to Onyx and dealing with them, they’ll make security stricter.

Also, to get in the Onyx Lounge, you need to verify you’re a tenant on the BetterSpaces app to unlock the door.

I have an office in 1 Gateway, but I don’t give a shit who walks through. Just giving you a heads up .

I prefer Crumbl, but this place is right downstairs from me. Good addition to Gateway

73k is a bargain compared to the other premium electric vehicles. Might switch to BMW soon.

Did you buy the i4 M50? If so, I’m heavily leaning towards that since MB’s EQE looks like an 09 Civic and super slow 0-60

I had a C&P in the Bronx for whatever reason back in 2017. So I feel ya. Not quite the 4 hour drive, though.

Essex, but I’m no “county” VSO. What did you claim and what C&P did you get ? Sometimes an outsourced exam could be to your advantage, since they’re not in the VA system because hopefully they’re not trying to short change you

I’m a VSO lol

Yeah, the VA is a nightmare sometimes. I’m 70% combined….and that’s all for PTSD. I was denied tinnitus (I literally spent years in a helo) denied for sleep apnea, denied for hearing loss, denied for TBI, bi-lateral knee and ankle pain.

I couldn’t fathom why I would get denied for the hearing stuff, at least.

I actually collected UE and used post 9/11, but this was back in 2010. Wasn’t a lot of money combined, especially paying rent in Jersey City, I wasn’t getting as much BAH as the rate today. UE and BAH back in 2010 combined was still less than the BAH rate today in Jersey City

Perhaps the veterans rep at your school could give you a better answer. I suggest if you’re able to or eligible, apply for a service connection. If not already

Was this in Clifton?

Plain slice, but sometimes I go with a Margherita

Idk, but I have a bunch of crackheads hanging out around my area that litter, when there’s like 5 garbage cans they can use. Also, my dogs end up trying to eat the crackheads’ chicken bones.

Gyeonghoeru in Fort Lee has amazing Korean/Chinese fusion.

I do most of the time , if I have cash. I’ll drop $5 once in a while. I feel bad when I’m unable to. Idk if anyone feels this way.
