Abuse Against Cyclists

I felt so bad for a young lady this morning on a bike in front of our apartment on Riverside Dr.This woman layed hard on her horn with a very angry impatient face to make the girl get off the road. There was a sports car tailgating the angry woman.There were no cars coming in the opposite direction. The girl on the bike was shaken and moved onto the soft shoulder while the angry lady and the sports car sped off. There were no cars in the other lane. If she was uncomfortable she could have gone around her. Slamming on your horn like that is enough to startle a biker further into the middle of the lane. Have some patience and common sense people!

To the older Gentleman at the east end Walmart this morning,

I'd like to thank you for the ignorant comment you decided to yell at me while I was exercising my legal right to nurse my child in public before you scurried away like the rat that you are. I was in such shock that I didn't have anything to say at the time but it has given me much to think about. Frankly, I wasn't about to yell any of the numerous things rolling through my mind because I decided to be the bigger person. I'm not going to try to educate you on the benefits of breastfeeding or the legal and social struggles women throughout the world experience on a daily basis when all we want to do is feed our hungry children. And to be honest, it's not worth my time and effort to attempt to educate the ignorant, I have better things to do. But I would like to thank you.

Thanks for being the first person to negatively comment on my decision to breastfeed in public, it has made me appreciate the rest of society so much more. In the 2+ years I've been nursing my children I've never once come across a single person with something negative to say. In fact, most people are extremely kind and supportive. I'm so grateful to them, they've made my breastfeeding journey so rewarding. I know that what I'm doing is the best thing for my children and it's always nice to have strangers acknowledge it too.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to think about my rights as a parent. I am grateful to live in a country where breastfeeding is a human right. Under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms I have the right to nurse my child wherever and whenever my child and I choose. There are so many women in this world who don't have that right and that is truly a shame.

Thanks for encouraging me to continue to nurse my child for as long as she wishes to be nursed and to nurse her wherever she wants to be. If you thought that by making derogatory comments that it would convince me otherwise, you're very mistaken. We had a very difficult start and I have no intention of giving it up any time soon. It is after all what we as mammals were designed to do.

Thanks for the opportunity to speak out about breastfeeding and encourage other moms who have chosen to nurse their child to do what makes them comfortable. Perhaps they prefer to pump and bottle feed or maybe they'd rather cover up and while this may make you happier, it doesn't work for us and I wouldn't want it to. I prefer to feed my baby wherever and whenever she is hungry and neither of us feels a need to cover up. Even if that means nursing her while pushing a shopping cart. Ultimately, if seeing me nurse in public encourages just one more mom to feel comfortable to do the same, I know that I've made this world a better place.

I'm sure that if this ever gets to you, you'll never read it. Ignorance will do that to a person. I do however want to leave you with one thought given your age, odds are you were breastfed too.

Green garbage bags on Howard between Devonshire Mall

While my boyfriend and I were driving in this area it was very visible to us and others that someone had thrown either kittens on dogs in these bags and through them on the road so that they could get run over again and again, btw the human society is very close to this area so he or she could have just dropped them off . We called the city and notified them of what we saw. If the person who did this horrific thing is reading this , shame on you . It made us sick . I really don't know how you can live with what you did

Waiting for Windsor Transit Bus on evening of June 19th, 2016

I was downtown Windsor on the evening of Father's Day, June 19th, 2016. I stood waiting in the heat for a bus in front of the RBC Financial Group at the corner of Ouellette and Chatham Street for over an hour. I observed that there were no buses coming south to the terminal, therefore, I assumed that there were no buses going north. I started to walk towards the next bus stop to the north and noticed 2 police officers going into the Starbucks Coffee Shop. I went in and asked about the buses and they indicated that as far as they knew, the buses were still operating for the evening. I continued on my way to the next bus stop and joined 3 other senior women who had been waiting at the bus stop for over 2 hours. One elderly woman was in a wheelchair, another elderly woman had bad knees and was in a great deal of pain from sitting on the steel bench since just past 6:00 p.m. and it was now after 8:30 p.m. I chatted with all 3 women and they indicated that they hadn't heard anything about the buses stopping early for the night. I tried contacting the Windsor Transit Terminal but kept getting recordings that the offices were closed for the day, therefore, at 9:00 p.m., we all decided that there were no more buses coming. I also checked the Holiday Service and Father's Day is not listed as a holiday. The woman in the wheelchair quietly motored away, I'm not sure what happened to her. The elderly woman with the bad knees left and made her way slowly up the street. I hope she made it home ok. I was the lucky one, the 3rd woman called her son-in-law and he came from Forest Glade to pick both of us up. They were gracious enough to give me a ride home to the Walkerville area because, otherwise, I would have been stranded with no way home and no money for a cab. This kind of service by the Windsor Transit is not acceptable when dealing with senior citizens. We were hot, thirsty and without any kind of public transportation. This is thoroughly unacceptable service.

Grandma's garden girls stolen

Our neighbour had her cherished "Garden Girls" stolen from her front yard.
If anyone knows their whereabouts please respond to this post or simply return them, no questions asked.
These little pink garden sculptures are quite unique. If you've seen them pop up somewhere recently, then it is very likely they belong to her.
