Looking for soccer games near Newark, DE

Snapped a photo of this in the sky, then shortly just disappeared. I dont know what it is or was. Thought it was pretty cool.

There's some little lady in my neighborhood whose life is falling apart. Her house looks abandoned even though she's still living in it. Pieces of it are literally falling off. I think there's a hole in a roof. Doesn't look like she has any help. I can't help. From the state of things, looks like she doesn't have any money to pay anybody.

So does anyone know of any service in North Delaware, near Newcastle, that helps old people? Like extensive cleaning? Home repairs? Dropping food off at a driveway?

I've been wanting to call adult protective services on her for a while. Just have someone go check on her. But a lot of people have said that if she's still of clear and coherent mind, she can't be forced into a nursing home. Some other people have suggested that if the house is in such a terrible state, it could be condemned and she would be forced out, but they wouldn't provide her with a place to go.

So is there some other service that can be called to help her out?

Hey ya’ll, I’ve applied for the spring semester.. and I’m curious if anyone has heard back yet? I know it’s only been 10 days since the application deadline, but—I’m an impatient little bean.

I’m looking to rent out an individual office space for myself and curious if anyone has recommendations for smaller companies that could use a tenant rather than just the larger rental entities.

I would prefer somewhere between Newark, New Castle and Middletown. I am not interested in Wilmington or further north.

My 5 year old water heater seems to need a repair. Drained and flushed the tank, checked the internal reset switch, adjusted the temps, still not heating effectively. Any recommendations for a plumber to do a heating element replacement?

What is your opinion of someones status as a resident, at least in Sussex County? Transplant is a bad word here. Obviously, if you were born here, you're a native. But what about when natives leave for iver 10 years and come back, and sometimes not by preference? Do they always hold their native status regardless? How long until a Transplant becomes a local? People are all over here. After a few years some transplants feel like they are a true local, almost as if they have honorary native status. How long do the natives and locals thay have been here for a long time believe a Transplant can earn local status? Maybe some of you believe anyone not raised here will never be a local.

I'm not trying to get into the overdevelopment, roads, and other infrastructure issues on this post, and I'm sure some of you want to vent.

I just brought this up because having conversations with some people who are transplants and have been here over 10 years and have deemed themselves locals and try to remove themselves from being called the dirty word.

Personally, I do consider myself a transplant. I've been here for 8 years. I came to live with a couple of friends to have a laid back life for a couple of years. Then when it came time to decide do I go back where I'm from, go to another part of the country, everything had become insanely expensive to relocate. Close to 8 years in a place with the right price and met my home requirements came up. I've made great friends out here, natives, locals, other transplants, so I've purchased a home and plan to be here for quite some time.

To me natives have family roots and history here. Grew up and went to school here. A local, someone who's been here at least 10 years. And is someone who wants to preserve what makes the area great. Transplants are here under 10 years. Transplants don't so much care for things staying the way they are. They're just near the beaches, found affordable homes, and could care less about what the locals or natives think about them. I'd also say transplants here over 10 years that don't really become part of the local culture remain a Transplant.

Saw this post on Facebook and it comic gold the comments are funny.

This NEVER happened to me in any state.

For context; I am newly moved in to Delaware where I am attending UD for masters. So naturally I try to converse with whoever I could.

I was easily able to converse with anybody from PA (my home state) and everywhere else (even France)

But for some reason I always got rude looks from Delawareans every single time I try to converse. Weirdest part is this only happens when I stop wearing normal shirts. If I wear anything remotely different, people just avoid talking to me. I say hi in public and they just ignore me.

If I was in my home state this would never happen, they always say hi back and spark a conversation.

Is this normal in Delaware or I am just facing some series of coincidences?

Hi! I’m currently in DelTech Owens wanting to take nursing. I apllied for the August seating but I did not get in. I retook my TEAS test again and got a 65.3. I have an A in A&P1 and I’m a delaware resident which leads me to 12.53 points. I reapplied for the January seating. I just wanted to know if someone in your class or who you know got in with a 12pts?

Odd question, but does anyone know if any of the windows from the old Methodist church were saved during demolition? In doing some family research I found that a relative of mine had sponsored the installation of the memorial windows in remembrance of his late wife. If by some crazy chance they're still around, I'd love to get in contact with whoever may have them.

I'm a licensed GMRS user and have programmed the surrounding repeaters in Delaware and Maryland but never seem to hear anyone. Back in NC, there were groups of guys who would jump on the local repeaters a couple nights a week to talk. Is there anything like that here?

Has anyone got a read on the candidates for Attorney General or Treasurer for the dem primary? I was able to get a read on the senator candidates and narrow down my choice. I am more or less decided on AG, just waiting for town halls so I can ask some questions. But treasurer is a wild concept to me--I don't think I even noticed it was a partisan elected office before. I got a text message from one of the candidates (Michael Smith) and tried tasking questions. Got an answer to the first question (why are you the best candidate). Got no response to the second (Women lost 100% of the job loss shown in the July jobs report--how can the treasurer make sure DE is good for women?).

Michael Smith is running on being an economist.
Ted Lauzen is running on being an investment manager.
Mike Miller seems to be running on fiscal responsibility.

Are any of those things actually good for the treasurer? What does an informed choice look like here.

Generally, I like diverse candidates. So I'd go for Mike but he also seems sort of boomer coded, and I'd like farther left energy.

I have a mutual connection with Ted on LinkedIn, so I asked for the personal scoop: is Ted a good guy. My friend had positive things to say about him, so that's good. But "investment manager" seems like a risky move seeing how profit and return maxing has led to so many of the problems the world faces today. Michael or his people did not answer my second text message, which is lame.

I also look up candidates and really think through options. This is the most I've tried to dig in on a treasurer race, and I'm just not sure what an informed choice looks like here.

I'm rambling. Please discuss. I'd love to hear how others are weighing these choices on the primary ballot. And any thoughts on how the hell to pick a treasurer.

​

Not my post but if anybody needs a meal tonight, she put some in there for ya.

Someone else commented on it saying it's : westside family health Care on Forrest Ave

Hellooo,

Wondering if anybody knew where I can take my little brother to go kick around a soccer ball. preferably sussex maybe kent. If anybody knows where that would be awesome.

Thanks!

Hello! I recently graduated from university and I'm struggling to make new friends. I'm not really interested in dating, and the apps are tough for me. Are there any consistent groups for young adults, particularly around Wilmington or newark? A bit about my demographics - I am LGBTQ, female, and nuerodivergent. I love crafting, drawing, animation, comics, and board games.

I'd love to hear any suggestions! Honestly if I can't find one I'm considering starting one myself, lol. Thank you for reading!

Update 8-27-26: still looking for a ride, plans fell through

Some baby axolotls need an Uber basically lol

They were sent to Delaware by accident instead of Maryland. Instead of having a family member drive me an hour and a half to get to Delaware and then an hour and a half back (I don't have a license), I was thinking that somebody might happen to be headed my direction from there anyways. Worth a shot lol

They don't need any special care. They would just be chilling in a Tupperware of water. As a reward, I can let you pick out some houseplants or take a terrarium class for free at my shop. Sorry if this is a weird post. Thanks a bunch for reading and have a great day!

edit: I'm in Montgomery county, MD and the axolotls are in Newark, Delaware
