[Tom Kitten]

29. I had a couple of friends I met on the internet there

Back around the turn of the century, when the internet was a new frontier for me...

One lived in a Philadelphia suburb and we used to mail boxes full of music, magazines, videos etc. to each other...we met in a monster movie forum and had a lot of similar tastes...He used to send me copies of "Weird New Jersey" magazine (still have them somewhere) and I learned it is indeed a truly weird state...

The other, a woman, I met on the same forum...she lived in Atlantic City and we started liking ech other...emails turned into phone calls, into one of those weird things you call an "internet romance"...I was going to fly back there and meet her but we both kinda got cold feet about it, and agreed to call it off...(actually it's a longer more interesting story than that)

I was offline for over two years and have moved twice since then, and have fallen out of contact with both of them. Who knows, maybe someday I'll look them up and see if I can find them...

Other than that, the only memory or experience I have about NJ is driving through it as a kid on the way from NY to California and back again...

[BeachBaby]

we don't have to get out of our cars to get the gas. Someone else does it for us. :woohoo:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

53. Which is very convenient when it's cold and sucky outside

I must admit, when I'm waiting because the station's busy, I do wish I could pump my own gas.

[JVS]

60. when your gas is being pumped can you go into the store and buy smokes and pee?

[Kool Kitty]

62. That alone makes us the best state in the country.

That, and Windmill hot dogs. ;)
