Norman C Wathey Speaks Out—Green is Greed.
SMNN -
I grew up very close to my uncle, the late Dr. Claude Wathey and his children, I campaigned for the Democratic Party more than anyone else through the Roots Foundation, and I got enemies because of the Democratic Party when his own children didn’t want anything to do with “The Old Man”, Claude, having anything to do with politics. “The Old Man” and Al always accepted me as being part of the family, as well my father, the late Norman Chester Wathey. I know Theo from the day he was born, so that makes me the 1st offspring to have anything to do with the Democratic Party of St. Maarten, all others are “Johnny’s come lately”.[More....]
Hallelujah or Puck
Hallelujah or Puck.
Last week Patricia Varlac wrote an article, which was interesting, highly spiritual and humoristic. I love spiritual women; they give me the feeling that their boobs are filled with beautiful ideas. . She rightly observed the deterioration of language, used by St. Maarten youngsters and their parents. She advised her students not to use the obscene F- word, but the H-word: Not :“Get the F.. out of here”, but: “Get the Hallelujah out of here”. I think this is a f.., sorry, a Hallelujah-ing good idea! But I am very afraid it will not work. From an obscene word to a religious word is probably a too big step for youngsters. For adults it might work. My unpaid advice to William Marlin: next time when DP-members harass you, just say: “Please shut the Hallelujah up and go the Hallelujah home!”
Why Twittering Remains a Pathetic Occupation
Twitter is everywhere. It’s a site that allows you to post incremental bloggings, one sentence at a time. The idea was to post what you're doing all day, so that friends, family, or anyone who wanders across your page can get an idea of your daily schedule, your inner thoughts, and other things that no one really cares about.
Taking a Break!
Yeah, we dolphins do love our fish! It's how they get us to do tricks at Dolphinariums don't you know, using hunger and food as motivation. I'm so glad we don't have one here.
But it's true, Flipper is now officially Off Island, Gone Fishing and banned from writing unless I really really need to. SXM PE is now 4 years old, it's rebuilt and it is now open to the people and community of SXM to make of it what they will, I have repeatedly begged people I think have writing talents and knowledge and information to share to write, I get promises but never actual blogs. Maybe I was wrong and expected too much? I need to take a break.....
How to post a blog
Below you can find a step by step guide on how to post blogs on SXM PE. By opening up this site to the public we hope to encourage and promote expression of ideas and opinions leading to intelligent and honest debate. Just like Life, SXM PE is what you make it and want it to be.
Welcome!
Welcome to the New SXM Private Eye 2.0.
It took a while, but we got here. There are still some bugs that need to be stomped on and some features may not yet be working, over the next few days we'll be doing fine tuning.
Just a short welcome note for now, I'm tired and had more than a few late nights recently. Below I've posted a short guide to the new site to help you all find your way around.:)
Flipper
Change of Look and Facebook
For almost 2 years now I have been trying to get SXM Private Eye rebuilt, so to see the new site taking shape now at last is such a huge relief. But at the same time a little sad, to say goodbye to this present site which I, and perhaps many of you too, have grown used to. But it needed to be done and I assure you it will be a good change. All I ask is that you don't let unfamiliarity guide your feelings and opinion about it when it happens, give it a chance. :)
The library of over 13,000 news stories 20,000 comments more will remain intact and we are working on figuring the best way to transfer it. A new filing system will be in place, instead of Threads there will be topics and Users will be able to post both news stories and blogs. More details in the coming days.
OH, and we also started a Facebook page - Stmaarten PE. Look us up and add us, don't be afraid. We do need your support and your input to make this site work. :)
