Access This!

I just left the Westbrook Market after scrounging up money to buy milk, eggs, and a can of Chicken Noodle Soup. The kid in front of me, a rather tall one, in his late twenties, had an Apple Strudel and two Milky Way Bars on the counter. The girl at the register asked: "Is that all"? He nodded and then whipped out his Access Card, you know, the one that equates to Food Stamps? Both myself and the guy behind me rolled our eyes, not believing what we just saw. Ok, some may say your jealous Ward. Yep, maybe I am. You see, I work for a living, to rent a home, to put food on our table, and maybe, just maybe, buy a few Christmas presents for our Children & Grandchildren. So to see this BUM in my book, (He was as healthy as an ox and drove away in a nice Dodge Charger), buy junk food is beyond belief. He most likely has free Healthcare, whereas I just lost mine due to non payment of my Premiums. I am very ill here with a nasty flu compounded by COPD.

 Rant Over.

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.
