Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings all around the world
To the manager and staff of Lakeshore Cinema. Wanted to say it was a great gesture to have the offer of $3.00 movies during the March break. Its so hard for many families to be able to afford a movie outing these days. With the admission price and then the food it adds up very quickly. Of course to the grandparents on a fixed income it was great. So just want to say a big thanks to you all on behalf of us happy kids who all got to go with our parents and grandparents! A high five to you! Thanks Marlene
I want to thank the woman who was my teller today at the TD Canada Trust downtown location. I lost my mother to lung cancer over three years ago now and I had received a cheque from her estate. I wanted to cash the cheque so that it was in safe keeping; it wasn't about getting the money as soon as possible. Obviously they had to ask where the cheque had come from and why, and once I had told them the young lady was just amazing. It is nice to see that some people out there can look at a person, who is around the same age as them, and still be able to have empathy. You don't see this very much any more especially within a customer service industry. At the end of everything, after trying to get the money into my account as soon as they could, she looked at me and said " I am going to come around the counter and hug you." I am a friendly person but this was a little on the weird side. She looked at me and said " Over the counter hug!", and extended her arms. I walked out of there with tears in my eyes because you have the same spunk and kindness that my mother once had! Thank you very much for making my day, and taking a dreadful experience into a great one! And a big shout out to the whole team down there, you are all fantastic at what you do and I could never bank anywhere else!
Went to Quesada on Walker for the first time today, ordered a bean and veggie burrito. Got up to the cash and realized that I had forgotten my wallet on my desk at work and said so aloud. A lovely woman waiting to place her order immediately offered to pay for mine. I went from feeling like a (hungry) schmuck to being overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you so much, you made my day!
I will "pay this forward", and hope that acts of kindness such as this continue to be contagious.
PS - the burrito was really good
Almost every morning around 7:10 I get my morning coffee at this timmies. Holly is always at the window and always smiling and in a good mood. She always goes above and beyond. I look forward to her saying good morning to me every day. You rock Holly! Keep up the amazing service and super positive attitude. If you haven't already been promoted--you should be!
I wanted to spot the staff at Wendy's on Ouellette and Ellis near Queen Victoria school. Wendy's is closing and I wanted to tell the staff thank you and you will be missed. One person in particular has gone above and beyond with the children from the school. Sometimes when a child didn't have enough to pay for their meal she made sure they got their meal. My own daughter has been short a few times and she came home telling me the kindness of that employee. She always looked out for the children and I hope that they open a Tim Horton's or some other restaurant in that spot. She got a bit choked up when I was talking with her about the closure. You can really see how much she cares.
Thank you again for caring.
Today my son and his friends went to the cineplex at Devonshire mall to see Home. While waiting for the movie my son somehow must have dropped his IPod touch ( which he wasn't supposed to have with him) After asking the people at the desk and then retracing our steps through the mall. We had given up hope of ever seeing it again. After the movie we went home and I thought I would call and ask again if anyone had turned it in. To my surprise someone had!
I just wanted to take this time to send out a big Thank You to the person who returned my son's IPod. You made my nine year old very happy and restored my faith in humanity!
I just want to give a huuuuge thank you to all the nurses at Met hospital who for the last 3 weeks took such excellent care of my mom and made what was left of her life as comfortable as possible! You all were so patient and empathetic towards all of us and did everything you guys could to help us. Thank you thank you thank you. I am forever grateful to all of you.
Sincerely,
A forever grateful daughter
Springs here. Why not bring the family in the woods and make a fire. Try a tower fire. It's like building a big puzzle!!! Almost like Janga but you're adding wood! Awesome family fun!
Enjoy!
