Thanks Scott for bringing my history and sordid past to light. I don't even remember being as small as a quarter - that's like a carnival prize of a goldfish in a plastic bag. But boy, I bet I've lived longer than any carnival goldfish, and look HOW I'm living! Large, very large.Henry H.

As a youth growing up in Northeast Philly, I went by the name of Tommy the Turtle and I had lots of friends… That was when followers and friends where old school---- they would knock on the door to see me; prior to the digital revolution that I am now so fond of... <br />I was purchased at a pet store by Magee & Frankford Avenue in northeast Philadelphia <br />I was only the size of a quarter when Newlywed Julia Ulrick had to have me in her Husband’s giant aquarium,<br />They had been married earlier that year in 1999... {Yes!!! I was around for Y2K nothing happened}<br />I lived in a large aquarium that had lots of cool friends over the years from Oscar’s, Arowana’s & stingrays to Alligator & Needle nose Gars.<br />They always had neat friends in the tank. I was always pretty popular and had a following even back then,but back then we did it old school with a knock on the door from neighborhood kids that wanted to see me.<br />That is how we had friends and followers back in the day <br /> I was around for the birth of Scotty Jr. & Ryan Charles -- when we lived on Erdrick Street.<br />That is when I started going to the beach for the summers with Grand pop-- AKA Mr. Charles Ulrick.<br />I would chill @ the 16th street pond in the summer while cruising the back lawn & in the winter I would live in the tank.<br />Julia & Scott moved to Bucks County 2004 and my beautiful Tank was no more, so I started hanging at the real estate office for winter with Mary Hatfield and Grand pop- Mr. U.<br /> A few winters there and summers at the 16th street pond meant lots of friends and family always around – I miss those kids <br />The algae years where my wild ride...not sure if I was going south for freedom during a surf or fishing trip or just looking for a sugar mommy up north here by the sea.. <br /><br />Well look at my decision I am doing pretty good…..Scott Ulrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05375144877825917058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-395891496351888251.post-60734395125795806632011-06-16T13:13:27.477-04:002011-06-16T13:13:27.477-04:00they say I'll be around for several decades if...they say I'll be around for several decades if I lived lavishly.
