Just a reminder to remember to lock your car doors every night. My significant others car was broken into last night and many things were taken, including his wallet (yes, I know not to keep it in there so save it). Always remember to double check since ignorant thieves never take a break.

On September 11th I took my son to the Windsor Lions park. Was a nice outing until you came along. Your daughter, maybe 4 or 5 years old, was playing on the monkey bars. You came over to her and because she wasn't playing on the bars the way you wanted her to, you called her a baby and weak and being lazy for not doing it "right". You humiliated your poor daughter. When another kid went across the monkey bars you pointed him out and said "see look he is doing it and he is younger than you" and proceeded to call her a baby. When the girl's mother told you to stop (i am assuming was your girlfriend) you rebuked her and continued on.

I grew up being called stupid and lazy and all sorts of names by a parental figure and it did a lot of damage. As someone who has been through that, I worry about your daughter and her self confidence. You are being verbally and emotionally abusive to her and I wanted so much to stand up to you for her. That being said, knowing from my own situation, I had no idea what repercussions she would face at home for someone else speaking up for her and I did not want to make things worse for her.

The other parents in the park were just as disgusted by your behaviour and a few had even left because of it. Some of the children overheard and had questioned their parents about it as well. You should be ashamed.

As for your girlfriend, if that is how you speak to your daughter, how do you speak to your girlfriend? Surely you are abusive to her as well. Your girlfriend needs to kick you to the curb before you destroy their lives.

As for others, please share this so that maybe, just maybe this despicable person or his girlfriend read this and think about what is best for their child. No child or mother should go through this and my heart breaks for them.

I have had 2 Total Knee Replacements in the past few months and today was the very first time I ventured out with my new knees. As we were leaving Walmart I stopped at the Lottery kiosk to check my tickets and moved to the side of the cart to reach my purse. Apparently my slow moving infuriated you so much that you felt the need to let myself, my daughter and your two young children know by tossing off an insult that began with the letter F. I understand us slow people must frustrate the able bodied people like you but was it really necessary to then push your shopping cart so close that you rammed into me forcing my still healing and very sensitive knees into my shopping cart? Oddly enough at the time all I could think about was the look on your children's faces and thought "If she is this abusive to strangers in public I wonder how she behaves at home". I very much hoped this was just a very bad day for you and if my slowness frustrated you that much I am very sorry.

I happened to discover where they are dumping some of the debris from the flood. It is at or perhaps I should say where the old G M Plant ise to stand . I live in this neighborhood and I am not to sure how I feel about it as we already have a rat problem due to the tearing down of this building.

A couple of months ago, I was in Willistead park in the evening reading a book. I saw a man walking around by himself, glued to his phone. Every few minutes he would walk a few paces, stop and stare at his phone a bit longer. It seemed odd but I didn't think anything of it - until he began to follow me home. Thankfully, there were two security officers patrolling the park. When I explained the behaviour, they told me I was right to be suspicious and made sure I got home safely. Since then, I have never gone to the park in the evening by myself, but in the afternoon I tend to go for runs there. I have been noticing the same thing happening at all times of the day. It has never been the same man twice, but they're all exhibiting the same behaviour. Walking around by themselves, staring at their phone, hiding behind a tree, standing in odd places. Today, I went for a run around noon, another suspicious man in the park. My first lap around, he was blatantly gawking, second lap he seemed to have disappeared, third lap he came out from behind a tree and started walking in my direction from across the park all the while staring - my gut told me something wasn't right. That park is full of kids and teenagers, I called the police and they have informed me that they will have extra patrol in the area but if you see any suspicious activity like this, please report it.

Everyone has to deal with pests from time to time, one of the tenants in my building has a Squirrels problem.  The tenant in my building came out on his 6 floor balcony to use his BBQ at 7 am, and found a squirrels nest in his BBQ, he obviously hasn't used his BBQ all summer.  As I approached the building after walking my dog, I could hear the angry screams of a MOTHER SQUIRREL.  then I heard a different scream, the sound of a baby squirrel being ripped out of his nest in the BBQ and dropped to the patio floor.  I then witnessed the tenant with a broom lift the baby over the railing and sent the baby hurling to the pavement right next to me. I yelled up to stop, but they had disappeared. I went in to get a box to put the possibly dead baby in.  When I came out to get the baby, I noticed he was not dead   his eyes were not even open yet, and he was moving and breathing.   So I put him in the box and left him near the fence and the trees where I believe I saw the moma squirrel go. Needless to say when I saw the tenant again on his balcony I asked him if he really needed to do that.  Attempt to kill an innocent baby squirrel... he told me to mind my F$%king business and that the squirrel had destroyed his BBQ.  I asked if there were any more he would like to throw down, and offered to come take them away myself, in a more humane way.  Again was told to F$%king mind my own business.  So I told the tenant what he did was wrong and that he should have left them be and called building management, or pest control, or the humane society.   Things like this really make you wonder , "WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE"

I am so sorry.
I'm sorry I affected you in a way that made you unhappy.  I'm sorry you didn't want to be my friend.  I'm sorry you couldnt see past my friendly manner and outgoing personality to see that im actually a nice person.  I'm sorry you thought about me for days after we met.  I'm sorry you felt the urge to put me down and talk badly about me to others.  I'm sorry I reminded you of "the girls you didn't like in high school".  I'm sorry you think i'm "fake" and not "real".  I want you to know that I don't hate you.  I have no reason to hate you because I don't know what you must be going through to hate someone you don't know.  I truly hope you felt better even for a moment at my expense.  I hope you felt more beautiful, more important and more "real" as you say. But guess what! you haven't hurt me.  I know who I am, and I love myself. I don't have to put others down to feel this way.  I am full of love and strength and that is why I wont react to the things you've said, the rumours you've spread.  I hold no anger towards you, i'll even say hello with a genuine smile because I know what you try so hard to hide from others. I know you are sad inside and I want you to know if you need a friend I'm here to listen.

Since the flood happened on Wednesday I've seen so many people driving up and down the street at night. They get out of their vehicles to look through what is at the curb. It's always after 11:00 p.m. You make yourselves look like vultures waiting to make a buck on the things people have lost!!
