Hoboken has terrible public schools according to a few people I know with kids who live there. They say it’s not worth the higher property taxes if they also have to pay to send their kids to a private school.
Hoboken High School is actually VERY good. you are getting misguided information. Just because the school is super diverse (i.e. the REAL meaning of diverse) doesnt mean it’s bad. You must be reading the Hoboken Moonface Gazette.
“People with backpacks have no idea of personal space.” True; I wonder why this wasn’t on the list? I never got the backpack thing anyway. I thought it was about age, but I have a friend older than I am who never goes anywhere without hers (except to job interviews, because I guess even she realizes that it is not a pulled-together look). So I don’t know what it is.
People with backpacks have no idea of personal space. Having been smacked many times by 50 pound backpacks that stick out 18 inches. Especially in a crowded care- why is it they can’t take the damn thing off and hold it by the straps?
Here, here! What are in those things? And the people are oblivious! And self-satisfied! (Aren’t I efficient, tidy, look my hands are free and I am carrying my tent, sterno stove, bowling ball and spare head!)
My latest pet peeve is folks who use those bookbags with wheels and the long handle…like luggage. They drag it along behind them, but don’t bother to keep it close to them. Therefore they block anyone within 4 feet behind them. EITHER KEEP THE THING CLOSE TO YOU WHILE YOU DRAG IT OR PICK THE EFFING THING UP AND PUT IN ON YOUR BACK!
Thanks Donatella. Any and all secret spy info will be welcome.

“I agree. But it may also be a symptom of early onset Alzheimers. Can’t remember that they read it already?”
Good point – I can think of a few books I’d like to read for the “first time” again

Why do I keep eating ridiculously spicy szechuan food?? why do I do this to myself??
DIBS / M4L – I ordered the super spicy twice cooked pork at work last night. mmmmmmmmmm yummy. Also the spicy noodles I had as an app.
DH, I went for half of the last one…it’s well worth it.
