Thumbs Up
To the Point Pleasant
Community Baptist Church
for hosting a
Red Cross Blood Drive
on April 3rd.
The donations will
improve the lives of many!
Thumbs Up
To daffodils and all the
people who plant them.
They brighten my day
with their cheerful blossoms
whenever I see them!
Plant more daffodils!
Unlike other spring flowers,
the deer and bunnies won’t eat them!

Thanks to the
kind souls who found
my wallet in
Landis shopping center
and promptly
returned it to my home.
Thank you for
returning all contents!
You are special people.
God Bless You!
Thumbs Down
To the companies
that keep collecting the trash
and the recycling
and put it in the same truck.
People take the time
to clean the recycling items
only to see the items
be thrown into the trash truck
with the trash.
I hope you are not charging
the customers an
extra charge to have
recycling collected.
Thumbs Up
To the man that gave
this senior citizen,
living on a fixed income,
a 15% off Kohl’s coupon
on Sunday, March 30th
while waiting in line
to buy a toaster oven.
This really helped reduce
the price.
Thank you very much!
Thumbs Up
To the DeSales Best Buddies
for volunteering your time to participate
in the program so the
special needs buddies from
the community have the
opportunity to get together with you
Oonce a month during
the school year.
This is a great program
and it is nice
to have so many college students
with so much interest.
Thank you from parents and caregivers.
Thumbs Up
To the Historical Society of Hilltown Township
and “Dr. Benjamin Rush”
(leading physician and signer
of the Declaration of Independence)
for transporting attendees back
to the 18th century to learn
about some very interesting
medical practices of the day.
And a huge Thumbs Up
and thanks to the program attendees
who helped push our
stuck car out of the mud.
Very uplifting to see so many kind
and helpful people in our world.

Nice weather is near and that
brings out the bicycles.
I know cyclists think they are
entitled, riding down the
road blocking the lane and risking
an accident.
On the back roads you are at best
a nuisance but on the paved park trails
you are down right dangerous.
I know it’s not all of you
but you get the bad apple analogy.
You race down the path,
for the most part quietly,
and not a care.
Last year one of your ilk
ran over my Pomeranian
dislocating his hip
and nearly killing him.
It would have been easy for you
to slow down, give a
wide berth and a simple “behind you” warning
would have helped.
It was expensive but fortunately
my dog is healed.
It was traumatic.
If you want to race around
care free I suggest you do it on I-78.
I’m sure the truckers
will respect your right to be there.

The members of the
Sellersville Fire Department
would like to thank the community
for their continued support
of our Ham Dinner Drive-Thru
on March 9th.
It is through your support
that we can continue to support
the efforts of the department

and fire prevention activities.
We look forward to seeing you
at our next event!

Thank you to
our community for
the donations of towels
and blankets for
local animal rescues.
Your generosity will be appreciated
by all the animals
waiting for forever homes.
Thank you to
Penny Power for
publishing our request.
Blessings
Blue Church
Thumbs Up
To the marvelous
cast and crew of
“The Drowsy Chaperone”
the recent
flawless musical
at Palisades High School.
We see many shows
in the area and this was
absolutely delightful
and a breath of fresh air.
Thank you!

Thumbs Up
To Carolyn, her two daughters
and their friend
(about 6-10 years old)
who were on the corner of
State and Main Streets
in Coopersburg on
Sunday, February 23rd
doing a fundraiser
for a children’s hospital
through Liberty Bell
Elementary School.
The children were so excited
jumping around
and drumming up business with
their handmade signs.
They had a collection of their
own books and a few
trinkets they were selling
for a very nominal
amount and taking contributions.
I hope it was a great success.
Carolyn deserves so much
credit and appreciation
for shaping these children about
community and about the amazing
feeling of giving back
to those in need of support.
This should be a reminder
to all of us that
we are our brother’s keeper.
Maybe our future
is not in such bad shape after all.
Thumbs Down
To people who
fly a sports flag under the
American flag.
What a dishonor to our
country and military
who defended
our flag and freedoms.

Thumbs Up
Special thanks to my
wonderful neighbors who
check up on me
making sure I am all right,
plus shoveling my
pavements and putting my
newspaper at my door.
I am grateful for all they do.
I wish them
the best things in life
for this year.
Many, many thanks!
Thumbs Up
To the honest and
considerate person who
took the time
and effort to drop off the
Boscov’s package
at my house today in
Springtown
that had been
mistakenly delivered
to their house.
A huge thank you!
The shipping company
should pay you
for delivering the
package to
the correct address.
Feb. 12, 2025
Thumbs Down
To the
inconsiderate person
on Fairmount Street
in Coopersburg
who accepted a delivery
that clearly did not
have their name on it.
They opened and consumed
a sympathy basket
for a lovely lady who just
lost her father.
Inside was a heartfelt note
from her coworkers.
You cannot get much lower than that.
You are despicable.
Jan. 22, 2025
Thumbs Up
To the entire
neighborhood of
Keystone Drive in Hilltown.
What a dazzling display
of Christmas trees
in all colors and sizes.
Such an awesome way to
celebrate the season!
Thank you.

Thumbs Up
I am a decorated
Viet Nam combat Veteran.
On December 26th
I was in a grocery store
trying to cash my bonus points
for a free turkey breast.
The clerk told me that the special
expired on December 24th.
A young woman in line
said she would would pay for it
thanking me for my
service.
Thumbs Down
To those who tailgate.
You won’t get to your
destination any faster.
Speed limit signs
are for a reason.

Thumbs Up
Thank you, Bill Fetter,
for donating the time and materials
to apply window treatment to
Betty Lou’s Pantry new location.
Great job!
Thumbs Down
To the people
who speed and/or tailgate.
Slow down
before you cause
an accident.
There is no reason for it.
If you’re late
driving fast will not help.
Thumbs Up
Sellersville
Winterfest 2024.
Thank you for a well organized
tree lighting celebration,
live music, Santa
and horse carriage rides.
The entire downtown, homes
and businesses
were all decorated with lights.
A beautiful touch.
Thumbs Up
To Giant grocery stores
for donating all
the shelving for our
new location and for their
installer, Mike Andrews
to donating the time
to set it all up.
It is a huge upgrade from
what we have been
using for the last 20 years.
Thank you.
Thumbs Up
To all the
family members who
make time
together at Christmas.
Despite the
personality quirks and
craziness,
remember how blessed
and fortunate
you are to have family
who make time
to be there with you.
Thumbs Down
To whoever dumped
a kitten at our home on
Christmas night in
sub-freezing temperatures.
We found her the next afternoon
half frozen and barely able to move.
After bringing her
into our heated garage overnight
and giving her some
food and water
she came back to life.
It took all of 2 minutes
to call the SPCA
and having the good
people there take her in.
Instead of taking the time
to do that, you almost killed her.
You are despicable
and do not deserve to own
any animals!
Thumbs Up
A double Thumbs Up
in response to the Thumbs Down
about drivers who forgot basic
Driver’s Ed class.
People who “social distance”
their cars at a
stop sign or traffic light,
leaving a car length
or more between them and
the car in front of them
selfishly create a potentially
unsafe situation.
Pay attention people!
Thank you to the person
who made this post.
Thumbs Down
To the careless people
who left trash
behind after a concert
in a church recently.
Someone had to pick up your
trash before worship
the next morning!
Please have a little respect.
