Does anybody buy the optional PIP insurance? I never do because it’s $400+ a year in additional in premiums, but I know an attorney who tells me that’s a huge mistake. He claims if you don’t have PIP and somebody hits you and you end up with debilitating back and neck pain that prevents you from...

I have had GEICO for four years. Started at $800 a year and am now up to $1,330 a year. No tickets, accidents or claims. In fairness, I think all auto insurance has gone up. I’m still paying less with GEICO today than I was with NJ Manufacturers five years ago.

Agreed. I had to show my birth certificate, social security card, firearms ID card, bank statements, credit card statements and utility bills…and they have my fingerprints on file. That should be sufficient.

The ID and background checks needed to get a handgun permit in NJ is much more stringent than what they’re asking for to get a real ID. It would be nice if they accepted my handgun permits as verification for a real ID. I have already had my background investigated by law enforcement more times...

I figured I would get one after the deadline when they have appointments available. Just my luck though, I had an unexpected cancellation with a client in June which opened up a few weeks for me to visit with family in Florida…but now I can’t fly there without a real ID. I should have enough...

You’re right, but it felt good verbally abusing scammers.

Judging by the condition of my Amazon order, that rumbling noise was probably caused by the USPS throwing boxes onto my driveway.

I got the same text. I think they’re hacking EZ Pass because I have Massachusetts EZ Pass and the text I received said it was sent by Massachusetts EZ Pass. Mine was sent with the number +63, which is the Philippines. It’s probably not a good idea to respond to scammers but it annoyed me...

That brought back a childhood memory I had forgotten. Me and my brother would always pester our mother to buy us those little turtles every time we went into a store that sold them. Their life span in our care was usually just a few days. My mom would be cleaning and move the couch, a chair or a...

He should have put a little sign on it that said “Service Turtle” and just held it in his hands.

Wow, that’s nice! You’ll love it. You’re going to be the most popular guy in the neighborhood. Unless you can run your smoker as low as 145 degrees, which is usually not the case with most smokers, you might consider buying a warning cabinet. I use a Rovsun. Good size and function, and it only...

Sad. This is a nightmare for the family not knowing what happened. It’s like a painful wound that never heals.

That looks like fun!

It depends on what I’m cooking. For chicken I tend to use fruitwood like apple and cherry. For ribs I’ll use almost anything. For brisket and pork butt I’ll usually go with post oak, hickory or mesquite. I used pecan for the first time with the beef jerky. It imparted a really heavy smoke...

I did a turkey breast for the first time a few weeks ago. Put some brisket rub on it and smoked it to 140 degrees. Then I wrapped it in foil and puts several pats of butter on it. Pulled it at 165 degrees and rested it for 20 minutes. It was good! Nice and juicy with a hint of smoke flavor on...

I have a Smokin Brothers premiere pellet smoker. It‘s a small family business in Missouri. I bought the smallest model they make @24” which works fine. I can cook six racks of ribs on it, which is enough. The firebox is in the middle, so there’s no hot spots. It couldn’t be easier. I just fill...

Thank you!

BTW, how do I put photos in a post? My attachments always come up as a link.

First day my lips didn’t freeze together when I walked outside, so I decided to fire up the smoker and make some beef jerky for the Eagles game.
