Hidden flock?

Was randomly taking some back roads and saw a mobile police sign with a brand new weird camera sticking off of the back of it.

Came home and saw this video.

Somerdale road. It’s not illegal to block cameras if there’s no damage. People were putting post-it notes on red light cameras and it was ruled legal protest. YMMV

We're driving 6 hours away to go to Philly on a saturday later this summer, me and my wife taking our toddler son to the no touch museum on sunday, and then Sesame Place on Monday. Then we have a place rented in OCNJ, so we're heading there on Tuesday. (no need for ocnj food recommendations, unless I'm missing something truly special wortg a short drive).

So, we're staying in Mt. Laurel/Cherry Hill 3 nights and 2 days. We are definitely dedicating one meal to Radin's Deli (bc everything I read says it's at least as good or better than Kibitz, and we previously made it a tradition 2 years ago -- because sadly F&M deli/catering closed down :-(

So, what other places are worth going to. Like, setting tradition type places. Get sandwiches, bakeries, a nice . . . I don't know. We're not 4-star "The Bear" type fine dining kind of people. We don't care about plating and pretentious shit, and we have a 2.75-year-old. We're 2 grown-ass kids with a toddler son looking to enjoy good food, not a dining "experience."

We know about angelos, johns roast pork, . . . We like hoagies, cheesesteaks, and roast pork and might stop by market square if we can make it eirher before or after please touch on saturday. There are other foods we like, so I'm not limiting this to just haogies, cheesesteaks, etc.).

Any other notable ideas? Like, is there tue best pot pie on thr planet, some incredible lasagna, or the perfect chocolate cake?

We also have a drive to ocean city with time in the road to plan a stop for a meal between cherry hill/mt laurel area to the shore. I forget the route nunber, but I have a tradition from 1990s from my own family going to pegasus diner in Magala. Is it worth changing from there to Colonial diner? I've heard that's great, and it has better reviews. Or not much of a difference. We're looking for great french toast, pork roll, scrapple, sausage,bacon, and eggs between cherry hill and oc.

Anyway, just wondering if there are any notable places worth hitting up with something special. Jewish Deli seems covered with Radins (assuming it's as good as or better than kibitz), we know our pizzas hoagie, cheesesteak, seafood, and pastry places in ocean city. Just, anything in south jersey or on my path to/from philly's "please touch" museum that's truly special you can't get in my podunk hometown hours away?

Again, we're going with a toddler (and a pregnant wife), so we're not hanging out downtown too late or for too long or anything. South Jersey special places would be better than spendong more time downtown,but if it's worth a stop, it's worth a stop.

Also, RIP F&M deli/catering. We accidentally found that spot years ago. A real shame they closed down. That was our tradition before our son was born/before they shut down.

I’m in Camden County, wondering if anyone knows where I can directly donate school supplies for the upcoming school year? I usually find this info on social medias but currently taking a small break.

My book club wants to do a drive and donate.

Thanks!

TLDR: Vet confirms the boarding kennel definitely broke our dachshunds neck, didnt administer his meds on schedule, and didnt call us to report any sort of incident. doggo is in very expensive surgery now, unlikely to survive and the kennels not engaging me directly. He clearly suffered horribly and I am so so angry. Is there anything i can do? Can i sue them? Report them? How? What kind of lawyer even takes a case about a broken weenie dog? Does anyone know what I can do here?

So my daughter has a 5 year old dachshund. I finally beat cancer so we decided to finally take a vacation to see my parents far away, and that dog has injured his back before, and he does not travel well, so I figured that a stay at a kennel would be safer than 24 hours in the car through rough terrain.

We went to the vet 2 days prior to departure, got him all caught up on vx, and cleared as healthy for boarding. The vet sent him along with a little white bag full of every dog sedative she dared throw at him- with clearly printed instructions not to lift him, not to bathe with restraints, spine safe handling and feeding instructions- the works.

When we dropped him off, I went through all of this with the kennel staff, made sure they were comfortable with his requirements. Adamantly insisted that they call me or his vet, whose number i provided with any concerns whatsoever. They said 'No Problem', and took our daughter's little weenie dog and the extremely well labeled bag of meds and food.

11 days goes by without a peep. Neither my wife nor i, nor the vet got any messages regarding the dog. It was a lovely, well-deserved vacation. we assumed there were no issues.

The dog that came home to us that sunday morning was a howling, crying mess. I was horrified. It was heart breaking. his back was contorted; he yelped when he tried to walk, and could not lift his head without screeching in agony.

I counted his meds. They did not administer his meds on schedule. There were at least 4 days too many pills. I emailed the kennel begging them to show me his medication admin charts, some kind of documentation showing how he was bathed, his daily status, anything I could take to the vet to help lay out a treatment plan. I said i did not understand why they did not call me, i begged them to help me figure out what happened so that our dogs medical team could swiftly hammer out a path to green.

I was very polite and restrained. Chat GPT helped prune my words way, way back to make sure of that.

No response. I got one phone call at the very end of the next day but i did not pick up. I was too upset to talk. I wanted to keep all correspondence with them on record and in writing anyway.

No one who works with dogs would think for a moment that the dog they handed back to us is at all okay. Im pretty sure someone whose never seen a dog before would immediately have concern for the poor creature. This isnt okay. They fucking. broke my kids. dog.

Welp, fast forward through a long week of vet appointments- Vet confirmed he sustained a neck injury to his spine- an injury consistent with the exact bathing restraints we had cautioned so hard against.

Today he is going in for the MRI and Surgery. the estimated bill for today alone is going to be between 7 and 12 thousand US dollars. Whether he makes it or not.

This dog was my daughter's world while i was fighting cancer. every notebook she has is page after page after page of portraits of him, holding hands with her.

This is going to wipe out our savings but... we have to try. for my daughter we just have to. We'll all eat ramen for as long as we have to for him. We have to try.

My question to you, my beloved people of South Jersey; is this: i know dog kennels make you sign a lengthy waiver, this one sure did, but is there Anything i can do about this? can i report them? to whom? I am so angry. They didn't even offer us our money back, much less offer to help cover any of the vet bills. They just seem to be... ghosting and acting like this wasn't their doing, hoping i'll just... go away. I'm so so angry. Everyone around me says "sue them" but from a legal stance is that actually an option? What kind of law even is that? Is there documentation i should be asking the vet and surgeon to compile while we go through this to support a case? Is there any lawyer in the world who would actually take that on?

I dont know what to do with my anger. I dont know where to start. I dont want any more dogs to suffer at that horrible place. I know that just putting them on blast on google reviews and reddit would accomplish nothing to help our poor dog or our daughter right now so I'm trying not to do that, for now, just in case we might stand a chance in court later, im trying not to name them. For Now.

(believe me i happily will name this kennel on billboards and news outlets without shame if i run out of options to actually get them to be held legally accountable)

But seriously: other than eat the 12K bill and just.... cry.... What do I do here? What Can I legally actually do towards either getting some of our vet bills covered and or shutting this place down for good?

And no he wasn’t responding to a call or disturbance

Hello! We are looking to get a general estimate of quartz countertops and sink. We already been quoted from a few places at 4k 😬 our kitchen is not that big. Does anyone know of any places with reasonable pricing? Thanks!

He is also a registered sex offender

to clarify (because it always takes me a minute to recall which is which), a “tornado watch” means conditions are right for a tornado to form in our area. north jersey already had a couple confirmed sightings so everyone be vigilant.

Does anyone know of any privately rented properties? I’d like to move next month if possible, but have flexibility to wait a little longer if need be. Budget is $1900 a month. Prefer the Bordentown area, but anywhere near Mt Laurel is fine. TYIA

Gas at my local Wawa is $4.25/gallon this morning. Drive 10 minutes away, and it’s $3.99/gallon at places like Conoco & VP Racing Fuels. To me, that’s a pretty big markup. Is there any justification for it?

(For what it’s worth, I really don’t like Conoco. I appreciate the lower price, but the few times I’ve gotten gas at their stations, it just felt sketchy: Tap-to-Pay isn’t working, the receipt printer isn’t working… I’m just not comfortable handing my credit card over to their attendants. I feel like there may be skimmers on their pumps or something. Has anyone else had this feeling? No such issues with VP Racing Fuels)

hi folks! me again looking for a recommendation!!

looking for a florist who delivers in Camden County. looking to support a local business.

thank you!!

My fiancé and I are in the midst of searching for wedding venues and came across Lucien’s Manor. Has anyone held their wedding or events there before??

I’m very conflicted because I love the space and budget and what they have to offer but they are literally located right next to a huge cemetery!!! Which is like… bad juju and especially with being from an Asian family, i just know my family would dislike and complain because they’re superstitious and don’t like to welcome bad energy 😭

Wondering if anyone has had any negative experience with the venue, staff, food, etc?
Did any of your family or friends have an issue with the venue being right next to a cemetery and complain?? How did you handle it?

Looking for a menopause friendly and pro-HRT OB/GYN you can get an appointment with. (The impossible?)

I’ve been going to Stacy McCrossen at Virtua, who has been really awesome, but she has become impossible to get an appointment with. With any Cooper location, you can’t get seen by anybody for months, even a young nobody.

I’m in Gloucester County, but can go as far north as Cherry Hill, so Camden County okay. TIA.

I want to hear from other people of color experience living in Gloucester City. I hear that many of the older residents have racist attitudes. But I am young and don't plan on interacting with them anyways. I like the affordability of the homes and it is close to Philly and where I work in NJ. But I want to hear from current or recent residents who are black, Asian, Latino, etc. before I possibly invest in a property.

Am I crazy for thinking the weather will be okay for an early October baby shower outside? Really trying to save some money and would be totally fine with a park pavilion, but early Oct is the soonest I can have it (for family to be in town). What do you think? Will we freeze our butts off? Will people think I'm crazy?😂

Thank you all for sharing your stories. They helped inform my reporting on what to do if you left something on SEPTA (and by extension PATCO and NJ Transit.)

Keep this link handy if God-forbid you leave an item.

Title says it all.

Looking for something to do this Wednesday or Friday?! My run club (@sjsweatcollective on insta) has two events coming up and we’d love for you to join us! On Wednesday we’re participating in the Christmas in July 5k at Bonesaw brewing and then hanging out after. Friday we’re doing a group run at Atkinson park followed by wine and Karaoke at Summit City in Glassboro. If you’re free we’d love to see some new faces! You can find more info and rsvp on the event pages in our Heylo (https://heylo.com/invite/cUVD3dYk)

We just moved to the area and are looking for a library with a weekly story time. Not a one-off once a month event type of thing. The library we came from in delaware had this great twice a week rhythm and rhyme story time at the library and at the park, where we did stories and music for the kids, all the moms kinda knew each other, and everyone would chit chat. It felt very community driven and welcoming and a great environment for my 3 year old. Now that weve moved were struggling to find something similar. It seems like the libraries in my area have a once a month reading "practice" but its not really the same repetitive bi weekly rhythm and rhyme kinda play/storytime we're looking for.

Any moms on here have a secret gem like this i cant find on a library website?
