Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings all around the world
To the lady who pulled over to help me rescue Skyler, THANK YOU so much. I was in shock that he got free, and if I chased him he would have run in traffic. So thankful he stayed on the sidewalk, I was holding my breathe. To anyone driving on Grand Marais this morning at 8:45 and heard my screams and seen my pup running loose, thank you for stopping so no other cars could speed buy. You all helped saved him from getting run over. Again THANK YOU from Skyler and I.
Thanks to the girl in front of me at Tim's at Wyandotte and Lauzon this morning who paid for my coffee and doughnut, you made my morning!
It is also my birthday, so a great start to another year!
To the young man named Nick that works at the Superstore on Walker Road, you don't know how much your help was appreciated. Being middle aged and the fact that the product I needed was all at the very back of the shelf and
on the lowest shelf would have meant that I would have had to lay on the floor and crawl onto the shelf because I am short to get what I needed. Upon me asking you for help you readily assisted me, you did not roll your eyes or in anyway act like it wasn't your job. You also at that point moved the rest of the product to the front of the shelf, simply amazing without be asked to do so. Just so you know Nick the customer service you showed me tonight was refreshing. It's not always easy to find, and I work in the customer service field. pat yourself on the back Nick you deserve it.
To the guy that got off his bike to help me get my stalled car into the parking lot of the maple leaf today, thank you soooo much! I was in full panic mode and a fairly new driver so thanks for getting me off of Tecumseh road into the lot!! Very much appreciated and I hope something wonderful happens to you. Of course my car worked 5 minutes later by the way (grrr) but THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! And also thank you to the woman who got out of her van to stop the traffic in the right lane so I could get by!!! Very thankful for people like you guys!
I met the most interesting gentleman named John at Jackson Park who for the past week has been available to anyone who just wants to talk! He has a degree in psychology and just wanted to find a new way to get out and help people. I think it's a fantastic way to meet and help those that may just need a listening ear. If you know someone that may benefit from this go see him! Noon to 4 p.m. I applaud your heart John!
I was at Cramdon's on May 6th for a mid-afternoon birthday party. With me, I had my 3yr old granddaughter, whom for 2 hrs steady did laps around the restaurant and had moments which involved tears and screaming. Not one person complained or made me feel uncomfortable.... What no one knew, was that my sweet little girl has autism and is non-verbal. This makes her unable to fully communicate, therefore she has a very hard time being in social settings at times. The kindness and understanding I was shown and given that afternoon has restored my sense of hope in what awaits her in the future. Thank you to all the amazing staff and patrons that were there that day! @cramdonstapandeatery you have been spotted!
My mother went to the bank last week. There was an elderly woman at the ATM, who asked my mother for help as she had a hard time seeing the screen. The elderly woman told my mother her pin # so she could get some money out. She also said her son in law usually helps her with her banking. My mother is an honest woman so she helped her. Luckily it was my mom who helped her as the next person may have taken advantage. I'm putting out this message as I worry for this woman who is very trusting. Please talk with your elderly parents about safety at the bank machine.
I was on the 530am Via train from Windsor to Toronto this morning and in Chatham, on came a large group of children for a field trip to Toronto. So many adults were upset by this, having to move seats etc and not wanting to be seated near the kids. We were in Car 4 and the group of children in there were truly amazing. Well behaved, polite, respectful. There was a line for the bathroom and the one little boy seeing that I was pregnant insisted I go first, even though I tried to get him to go first. He was very respectful. As I came out of the bathroom another little boy bumped into me as I was headed back to my seat and he apologized, more than once and asked if I was okay.
To the chaperones on the trip, You should be very very proud of those children. I have never seen a more behaved, polite and respectful group of children.
