Weekly Thumbs

Thumbs Up
To all the kind-hearted people
helping the birds and
our other beautiful wildlife survive
this brutal winter.
The freezing temperatures
are bad enough.
Plus the frozen snow
everywhere makes it impossible
for them to find food
that would
normally sustain them.
Thumbs Down
To the bank
that not only made a huge
mistake on my account
but also made
little effort to correct it
and never even
called me to notify me
of the problem or
apologize for the mistake.
Thumbs Down
To the increasing habit
of people pushing
large piles of snow from
one’s driveway to
across the street.
This creates dangerous ruts for
cars, SUV$s and regular trucks
to drive through.
Can we please stop this
lazy practice!
Thumbs Down
To the
person or persons
that stole our new sign
that was hanging at the
Covered Bridge Car Wash
in Perkasie.
For a small family business,
that sign cost us
a lot of money and we
would really appreciate its return.
We are offering a reward
for information
that gets our sign returned.
Please do the
right thing and return the sign.

Thumbs Down
Trying to keep my
New Year’s resolution
to eat healthier.
Unfortunately, that seems
to exclude about 90%
of the grocery store.
Very depressing!

Please do not
blow your nose in a restaurant
while people are eating,
go to the restroom!
Gross!
Thumbs Down
Many years ago
in my scholastic days
I recall my English teacher
showing us a scornful look
of dissatisfaction if someone in
class used the expression
“don’t-never” in a sentence.
This improper use
of the two negative adjectives
in a collective manner
was malapropos.
Today when I hear
“same- exact” or “exact-same”
by someone it reminds me
of her sneering reaction.
Something is not
“simple-easy” or “black-ebony”.
They are synonyms and
not to be used together.
Thank you Miss Showalter.

Thumbs Up
To the thoughtful community
at the Upper Saucon Township Park!
Today I lost my progressives
and someone put them on top
of the book share box.
In the past I have lost
three gloves and all were
recovered thanks to the
awesome folks that use the
UST park on Preston Road!
You all rock!
Thumbs Down
The first snow
and already people
forget to clean off their cars
and car roofs before driving.
Not only is it a hazard,
it is against the law.
I would smile to see police
pull someone over
that only has the
front window cleared off.
Take the time and clean
off your car before driving!
Thumbs Down
To anyone who parks in
curbside pick-up spots then
shops in the store.
You are taking spots that
someone needs to
pick up their online order.
Don’t be so lazy!
Park somewhere else in the lot!
Thumbs Down
Why are we all so busy?
There’s almost no time to enjoy life
or each other’s company.
I thought technology was supposed to
give us more leisure time, not less.
Thumbs Down
To those of you who live
in Hellertown whose garbage
is blowing around.
When it’s a windy day,
please cover your recyclables
tightly so those of us who
live down the street
don’t keep receiving them
again and again on our lawns
(front and back).
We are tired of this happening
time and time, year after year.
Also, please break down
your boxes and tie/tape them up.
We$re tired of the mess
your boxes (big and small)
are creating all over the place
by blowing down to our yards.
Please read the town website
to see what you
need to do about this.
Thank you!
