NJ people just don't go out of their way to unnecessarily chat you up. No useless small talk. Everyone is busy, gainfully employed, on their way to something important. No one has the time to bullshit with you. This is not a bad thing. It's not rude. Everyone just has better things to do.

On the rare occasion, Jerseyites do decide to chat, it will be a worthwhile conversation, albeit brief.

People never get that for it to be a snub, it had to be better than at least one of the nominees. So you have to have watched at least one to even start making that claim. And if we're talking snubbed for the win, you have to have watched every movie nominated in that category

I used to commute 1 hour 15 minutes around Atlanta. It was all highway, but the draw-back was that there was always an accident and in the Atlanta area there are vey few alternate routes. When I moved back to Maine, I thought nothing of having a long commute, but I got tired of it quickly because I’m stuck on Route 1. I currently drive Brunswick to Rockland which is about 1 hour and 5 minutes…until the tourists come. Route 1 gets clogged and adds 15-30 minutes onto the commute. It really cuts into your day. Been looking to relocate but there’s not a lot of homes for sale in the Rockland area.

Realistically, I think Nobleboro to Portland is going to be a challenge. You’re going to see heavy traffic flow on Route 1 Memorial Day right through Fall foliage. Then you get to look forward to going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark. The winter will have it’s challenges too. There were a few nights this past winter that I had to get a hotel room because commuting that distance wasn’t safe or would take me several hours.

Those are perfect examples. How much does your TV cost to run? How much more (or less) are you spending with a "smart" fridge over a "dumb" one? What is the value of that vampire current when everything is "off"? Literally, tell me. Dollars and cents. How much is it for you? How much less will you spend if you set the AC to 76 instead of 74? How much does a shower cost per minute? How much do you save taking a "hot" shower instead of a "scalding hot" shower?
