Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings all around the world
Today after leaving City Hall around noon, I decided to walk down Park St to Ouellette (normally I would walk down Windsor Ave to Wyandotte, then over to Ouellette). As I was walking I watched a gentleman in a wheelchair go over the curb and fall out of his chair. Thankfully there was a group of women who were close to him who immediately stopped to help him. Another woman, a gentleman and myself got to him as fast as we could. Thankfully another couple of men showed up and helped get the gentleman back into his chair. To the group of women who were by him when he fell, you ladies were amazing, you were so genuine and kind to him. You kept making sure he was okay, asking if he needed a min before we did anything, making sure the cuts on his hands were taken care of. To the men who ran over to help us get him back into his chair, thank you, I don't think we would have been able to do it safely without your help. Finally to the gentleman who fell, I hope you are okay and that your hands aren't to badly cut up, and that nothing worse happened when you fell. Thank you all for restoring my faith in humanity, you have all been Spotted!
Thank you Di Vinci Pizza on Ottawa for making my day.
Having never seen how pizza is made Sean and Gary invited me to check out the behind the scenes ins and outs of pizza making.
It was delicious.
Will definitely be back!!!
Our son turned 5 today and on the weekend, he received a fish tank as a gift and 3 fish--his first pets. The staff at Pet Valu in LaSalle made a big deal of it for him, but privately warned us how fickle fish can be, especially at first. I nearly cried watching how excited he was to feed them, calling them by their names. We noticed, however, that one didn't look so well. After a few hours, the fish did not survive...and our son sobbed and sobbed, saying he was the saddest he had ever been. I was very sad, too, but tried to make him feel better. He was convinced that the fish died of loneliness because the other two fish didn't swim with him, and that he needed another fish like him. We convinced him that we would get two new fish, and he seemed to settle. When my husband and I went to the store today, the lady scooped out two fish for us, but accidentally scooped three and said that it was a bonus. When I went to pay, she waved us away. I love this store! My son has been visiting there for 2 years, looking at the animals and we have never purchased anything before this tank. I always felt guilty--and now even when I want to pay, they wouldn't let me. I wish I could thank them for the kindness they have showered on us each and every time we visit. We are customers for life. The joy that that "bonus" fish brought when our son got off the bus today was magical--he was thrilled to see all 5 fish swimming together. Thank you, PetValu ladies, for restoring his spirit, and ours. There are more good people out there than bad--I pray blessing is poured out upon you all.
On Jan 8, my son realized he'd lost his bus pass when he tried to go home after his co-op at Tecumseh Mall. The lost and found at the mall did not have it, luckily he had enough money to pay the fMal to get home.
A few days later, I thought I'd call Transit Windsor about it, and they had it! Someone had turned it in. I'm sure that person will never see this, but I want to let people know how much it is appreciated when they do the right, honest thing. You taught a teenager that there are decent people out there. And more importantly, he learned how good a small act of random kindness can make a difference. Thank you!

I wanted to thank Holly from "The Source" in Leamington for helping me through a very painful experience upgrading my IPhone! Normally I don't have any problems with my service provider Bell but after 1 hour and several phone calls to Bell, Holly was able to upgrade me to a new phone with an even better plan than what Bell originally offered. Thx Holly! The Source should be very happy to have you as an employee!
Was out taking video of my boyfriend snow boarding and decide to snap this photo of the sun setting on Lake Erie so beautiful so I thought I would share it
On her birthday, Jan. 14th my beloved mother Shirley was taken by ambulance to emergency at Hotel Dieu Hospital. Thanks to the emergency staff, they discovered she had a perforated bowl which left undetected, would have ended her life. She was in so much pain and very afraid.
The people in emergency were so kind and caring to her and my family. They took the time to run the appropriate tests and explained what my mom was up against in detail. Mom was taken for emergency surgery within 5 hours of going to hospital.
I'd like to give a special shout out to the OR team who performed the life saving surgery and nurses Bobbi and Giovanna at the Intensive Care Unit for the amazing after care.
Thank you for saving my mother's life.
