Thumbs Down

To the driver
passing School House Road
on September 7th
around 5:40am.
You dodged that school bus
and nearly got
yourself and me killed
with that stunt.
Thanks.

Thumbs Down

To the residents
of Richland Township who think it is okay
to set off very large fireworks
in a small backyard.
State law requires you
to set them off
at least 150 feet from
all buildings, including yours.
Clearly you are setting
them off less than 50 feet
from your house and less
than 75 feet from your neighbors,
allowing hot ash to fall
on your neighbors’ roofs
and burning areas of
neighboring lawns and property.
Have some respect
for your community and
go to a safe location
to set them off.

Thumbs Up

To all the
gardeners who plant
beautiful flower gardens in
our neighborhoods.
Your efforts are appreciated
and always brighten
my day when I see all the
flowers blooming.

Thumbs Up

To the kind
and dedicated people
responsible for
the three American Flags
flowing freely and proud
on Grant Road.
It was an amazing
feeling to see this.
God Bless!

Thumbs Down

To the people who
blow through Trainers Corner
in Quakertown,
(where Kohl’s is for those
who don’t know).
Slow down!
Many workers and
pedestrians have complained
about how fast
most drive through the strip.
There is a
Kids’ karate school
there for crying out loud!
On Wednesday, August 16,
someone was hit by a car
that drove away,
hopefully you were caught
on camera.
Shame on you for leaving!
People are walking
through that parking lot every day,
at all times of the day.
It doesn’t hurt anyone, one bit to slow down.

Thumbs Down

Please honor
expert teachers by
reimbursing them properly.
Minimum wage is
not acceptable,
nor is ignoring the cost
of living increase,
let alone any type of
substantial raise.
Teachers give, teach and
give more.
Respecting teachers
means giving. Taking care
of what is valuable
is sensible and demonstrates
appreciation.

Thumbs Up

To all my
wonderful neighbors
who put my
daily newspaper on
the front porch
so this 84 year old
man does not have to
go down the front steps
to get the paper
off the sidewalk.

Thumbs Down

To the noisy
day camp/ballfield area
on Callowhill Road
in Hilltown Township for
not only playing music at all
times of the day
along with the parents
who need to
be more considerate.
It’s one thing
to use my driveway
to turn around, it’s another
to use my front lawn,
as one mother did around 11am
on Thursday July 27.
Wise up parents,
we are not here for you
and your kids.
Please show us some respect.

Thumbs Up

Our heartfelt thanks
to the gentleman
in the white SUV who
stopped and caught
our confused little dog when
she ran out into
the street
last Saturday.
We are forever grateful
for your kindness!

Thumbs Down

To the person
who is
annoyed by roosters.
I would
rather hear roosters
than a bunch of whining kids.
I’d rather have
roosters next to me in
the grocery store
than hear whining kids.

Thumbs Up

There are still angels
out there.
To my wonderful
neighbor and his friend,
the lawn tractor fixer.
They took the time
to order the parts needed
and fix my tractor
so I could get the job done
at a minimal cost.
Thank you so very much.
Lady in Distress.

Thumbs Up

Shout out
to the crews that
came out in the middle
of the night
to work to get the
power back up during
the outage so quickly.
You are appreciated!

Thumbs Up

To the person who
made a
Thumbs Down post
in the June 21st issue
of Penny Power
for not stopping
for folks who needed help.
We must forgive
our flaws.
Kindness is priceless
if we can afford it.

Thumbs Down

To the heartless,
despicable, low life thieves
who repeatedly steal
from cemeteries.
For years sentimental
trinkets, ornaments,
fresh flowers,
entire plant stands,
wind chimes,
momentos and more
have gone missing.
The police
have been made aware.
It’s only a
matter of time
before you get caught.
Ž”God never sleeps”

Thumbs Down

To all
inconsiderate
rooster owners.

Thumbs Down

Don’t people
in the Quakertown area
know the meaning of
“Yield to traffic in the circle”?
Rotaries work great
when that simple request
is honored.
Not so much when
people play
chicken with cars in
the circle.

Thumbs Up

To the Rail Trail
maintenance folks who
tend to the trails and fences,
keep the brush on the sides
cut back and
add new amenities.
Thank you for keeping
the trails in
good condition
for all to use.

Thumbs Down

To my neighbor
who is throwing trash
out their window.
This is definitely
a Big Thumbs Down!

Thumbs Down

To the business
where they have several
newly painted and designated
parking spaces
for curbside pick-up
right in front of their store,
yet the handicapped parking
is a greater distance away.
Where is the priority?

Thumbs Down

To the people
who put old clothing
and blankets, etc. in the trash.
There are plenty
of donation boxes everywhere.
Even if it’s ripped
they use it
for other things.
Besides, you are
adding more to the landfills
and it takes years
to disintegrate.

Thumbs Up

To the two Good Samaritans
who helped me
out in the checkout line.
There still are
good people in this world.
I will pay it forward.
Thank you and God Bless.

Thumbs Up

To the EMTs and police officer
who assisted me
on Friday, June 23.
My blood sugar dropped
while I was driving and I had
to be taken to the hospital.
Also, a special
thanks to my granddaughter
who made sure
my car was moved safely
off the roadway.
I am very thankful for
all the help I received.

Thumbs Down

I am very upset
that someone hit
a big rock in my garden.
You would have known
that you did damage
to your vehicle and my garden.
It was a big rock
and I have to hire someone
to fix it.
My husband and I work
hard to keep
our property nice,
also it is not cheap to do
up-keep on it.
At least have the decency
to let us know that
this happened.

Thumbs Down

To the kids shooting off fireworks
on East Park Avenue
in the parking lot
at 10:15pm Sunday, June 18.
It’s a fire hazard
and people have
to work!
