Social Media Timeline

Well I do. And it seems that because of the explosion of "Social Media" sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest, the blogs like this one have pretty much gone by the wayside. I started this blog a few years after I hosted and ran a website called Totally Delco around 2003. The website, for all it was worth, was just a bunch of links to local businesses, and some local government links.

I soon started posting to and linking on my site on Live Journal with a Blog called "Living In Delco", to complement it. Bring alcohol and politics into the picture, and trouble soon began. I remember having whole threads deleted by someone who hacked into my admin account. And having my whole website shut down because of some asshole troll who went by the name of "Michael Crook" sending myself and my web host a DMCA notice that I was using his picture without his permission (He lost and got made an ass out of himself).

There was the interview with Alex Rose, of the Delaware County Daily Times, about my website, myself explaining to him that I started it because I couldn't find as furniture store locally to buy a mattress.Now in 2019, this blog and my website are hard to find on Google. I googled "I Live In Delaware County" and where I used to be number one out of hundreds of thousands, now non existent.

Facebook is the new norm for people my age and  thirty years older and younger, while the really young ones post on Twitter and Snapchat. 

So with all that I'm leaving some links to various blogs and web sites that I had a hand in starting, promoting, and running over the years.

Blizzard of 2016

Just wanted to thank my Neighbor, Nick for helping me clear off the back driveway & our common front walkway. It was sad to hear that an 88 year old Man died from a heart attack after shoveling his own driveway yesterday. Was he offered help? Probably not. Younger people move in to a neighborhood, and automatically assume that their elderly neighbor is a mean person, unfeeling, uncaring. when in reality, the elderly have much to tell, and are lonely. So get out there and say hello to them.

I also want to thank Mayor Tom Micozzie, The Upper Darby Police Department, The Upper Darby Fire Department, Delco EMT Corps, as well as Ed Truitt and the County of Delaware for their no nonsense handling of this storm.



 Cheers.

Upper Darby Sentinel News

I just came across a lively discussion on Face book that reminded me of how a good thread can get out of hand. Agnes Bedard, a local Highland Park Woman who contributes to the Examiner, and also our local Upper Darby Sentinel, has a Face Book group called "Upper Darby Sentinel News". As the name implies, the topics are about what is going on in our township.

The pinned post, from Michael Bente, addresses the Township and it's lack of youth activities for children. Wow! What a response. Typical mudslinging, blame them not me, NIMBY type of bullshit.
Look. There is one thing to address the issues, another to verbally attack another and their children.
We are adults here, right? "He or She, who is without sin, cast the first stone".

As Rodney King once said :"Can't we all just get along?

Afraid not Rodney.

Cheers.
