JCP&L Billing Increase
I just received my July 2026 bill from JCP&L. This bill is $20.00 more compared with 2025 for the same amount of usage. Not sure how JCP&L can justify this amount of an increase in costs to customers. Has anyone else experienced an increase in their electric bills?

Garage Sale Set-ups Venues
I cannot have a garage sale where I am located. Does anybody know of a place where you can bring your own table and pay a fee to sell your personal items? I am not interested in a huge flea market. I have no junk. Thank you ...

1st generation Iphone se battery replacement
Does anyone know where I can have a get a 1st generation Iphone SE battery replaced? I tried the Apple store in the Rockaway mall, but they say they can't do it and want me to get a new phone. I DON'T want a new phone as this phone serves all of my needs. Is there anyplace in the area that is able to replace the battery for me? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Old Bakery on 57
Does anyone remember what Bakery was on Rt. 57 back in the 80's? Was it Harper's? I was walking into Fujiyama the other day and for some reason I thought of it (and their clown head cupcakes). I think it was where Fujiyama is now, but I cannot remember...

Home for pond gold fish
I have a pond with gold fish. Over the years they passed on
Now there is only one. I would love to find him a home. He looks pretty lonely. He's not a big goldfish. He's about 7 in. long. He knows when it's feeding time and follows you around the pond. Thanks
