@njnancy the fact that you call it Taylor ham makes me 99% certain that you are from north jersey. 

I'm the last exit on the Turnpike unless you want to go over the GWB.  I can see Manhattan from my house :giggle:

It's also right next to my user name @mcgruff10

I swear to god I didn't notice that! lol  But I knew you were based on the use of "taylor ham" over "pork roll".  You do realize you are wrong?  

I don't know, if you ask anyone here - they'd say I was right.   

If I buy the actual 'roll'  that I would slice myself, it would be labeled as pork roll. But my shopping list would say Taylor ham.

Do you have White Castle down the shore? I picture you somewhere around the Garden States Art Center (I will not call it by another name).

lol, it will always be the Garden State Arts Center to me.  I am exit 98 off the parkway, about 10 minutes west of Belmar and 15 minutes east of Six Flags in a town called Howell.  I grew up 1/2 mile from the beach (avon/belmar area).  We have a white castle in town!  My buddies and I used to buy suitcases all the time!

For the single people...Do any of you plan on staying single by choice?  My Dad had 2 cousins who choose to be single.  One did eventually marry, in his 70's, he died about 2 years later...  

I crave love. But then I feel like I don't want a relationship. I'd like companionship but not the arguments, having to fit in with her family and social group who I may not like etc.

Have you tried sped dating?  Many places arrange speed dating for free, check out the community news.  No idea how you avoid conflict/argument, it's part of life ... it's more important how you handle conflict, unfortunately, most people have never been taught good conflict resolution skills.  Your last sentence is normal fears.  Just be yourself.  You do not want someone who can not except you, as you.  

I've considered it as I refuse to try online dating. Not just the acceptance of me as me but the having to put up with people I don't like.
Plus seeing how my two sisters' marriages have turned to shit has left me feeling less than optimistic about marriages.
As well as what I learned at university, passion fades over time, we habituate to our partner and that is why people break up or cheat.

That why I suggested speed dating.  Do like playing cards/board games ... some community centres host things like this.    Have you tried meetup.com?  Sadly, lots and lots of marriage's turn to shit these days.  And lots and lots of marriages are going to turn to shit.  It is true, with some the passion fades.  Some it's a mid-life crisis that ends the marriage, affairs, spouse wants a different life...whatever it is.  My Mom who was married to my Dad for over 50 years until she passed, always said people need to learn forgiveness to have successful marriages.

Pork Roll!!!!

i know the name Howell. Belmar/Avon is a nice area. After I go over the scary bridge with way too many lanes, I feel like I'm down the shore. I used to take my son to Keansburg when he was little because his father's grandmother was down there and they had a great amusement park for kids. So does Point Pleasant. My college used to have alumni parties in Belmar at a bar that I can't remember at the moment, but I never went to any of them. I did play mini golf on the boardwalk in Belmar though. 

We rented a condo in Diamond Beach - exit 4B - for about 15 years and it was my favorite week of every Summer. My sister/BIL/2 nieces/mom/me and my son would share it. We were right next to the Coast Guard protected area. The last time we went was 2014, but my sister had passed away the prior September and it just wasn't the same so that family tradition ended. I went there on the way back from the Hampton (& not Raleigh) PJ show in 2016 and stayed at hotel on the beach. I miss it.

It says Taylor ham on menus here. If I said pork roll they'd probably bring me a freaking tenderloin.

Sounds like you had some real good times in Diamond Beach.  We are heading to the outer banks this summer for the first time.
I'm thinking the bar in belmar you are referring to is either bar anticipation or d' jais.  And that mini golf place you are talking about is gone!!!

I tried poutine for the first time while in Quebec City to see Pearl Jam.  It was the fast food version.  I had high hopes but was disappointed.  

fast food poutine is like getting a steak at Perkin's.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen pork roll or even heard of it or the term Taylor ham. I must not be in the “parts of Maryland” where it can be found. I’d try it on the bagel tho.

Because you live in the god damn boonies.
