Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings all around the world
To the young couple who was finishing their meal at the Keg on Saturday. Thank you so much. After our meal, we were presented with a Creme Brulee for dessert. You overheard that it was our anniversary and decided to treat us to dessert. Unknown to you, my father-in-law passed away on January 16th and it was his favorite dessert. Thank you for making a great night out even more special.
Last week I sent out a request on Facebook asking my friends at work to TP (toilet paper) my desk for my birthday... odd request right?! well here's the story about how I work with some amazing individuals. I seen a post on the Windsor Youth Centres fb page asking for donations of toilet paper as they were in need. So after I posted my status two of my close friends who I work with desided they will secretly accept my challenge and they sent out a mass email at work asked for TP donations or money and they would purchase it. They turned my desk into a TP castle as a suprise for my birthday using all they collected and purchased. By the end of the day I was able to donate approximately 1040 rolls of toilet paper to the Windsor Youth Center. This is all thanks to the amazing people I work with at Farrow!! I brought my 4 year old daughter, 7 year old niece and mom with me to drop it all off and we couldn't stop smiling. The people at the WYC were so appreciative that they made us feel so good for thinking of them. I truly am so greatful for the amazing people I work with. Thank you for helping me turn my birthday into a day to help people on our community at the WYC.
I witnessed something disturbing. I was parked beside a car in a parking lot today here in windsor. The car belonged to old man who seemed to have trouble walking to his destination. I looked inside the car and saw that the entire back seat and passenger seat were completely filled up with fast food bags and miscellaneous bags, things that belong in the garbage. They were all very neatly placed. THIS ISN'T WHAT I FOUND DISTURBING! it was all the people who walked up to it laughing, pointing and taking pictures. I was stunned and very taken back of how ignorant people can be. What they were so blind to see is that this is a human being who lives with a mental health issue. Hoarding isn't something to laugh at. My hopes are by sharing this situation it might change your perspective of how some People live.
My husband, daughter and I went out for breakfast at matter of taste restaurant this morning. After we had ordered our food, the waitress came over to tell us that the amazing and generous couple sitting at the table behind us had paid for our meal. My husband and I were shocked because neither of us has ever had anyone do this before. Just shows that there are some wonderful people in this world and they are living in windsor. Thank you so much for treating us to breakfast, you made our day!!!
This morning at Goyeau and Wyandotte, I was pulling out of a parking lot and saw a blind man hesitating in the middle of the road. Immediately, this young man hurried out to him, asked if he could help, and patiently escorted him safely across the street. Nicely done. I used to take this sort of thing for granted - anyone would do this - but I've learned that it's worth emphasising and drawing attention to the small kindnesses we extend one another, because not everyone seems to get it!
PAUL DUFOUR
I havent known my father since I was 3. The last memory I have of him is, him tying my shoes together and letting me run around the house. We could see each other on the street and make direct eye contact and I still wouldn't recognize him. I'm 17 years old now and it bugs me every night why he isn't here, why did he leave me and never talk to me again or why don't I have somewhat of a relationship with my dad..every son deserves a relationship with their father . If you can help me please do, his name is PAUL DUFOUR and I'm pretty sure he still lives in Windsor or surrounding area. Again any help is appreciated thank you so !much
Tonight my husband and I went to La Rucola for dinner because due to working we have not been able to spend much time together. We were greeted by our waiter and given suggestions on what to try. Once we ordered he kept coming back to ask us how our wine, appetizer and entrees were. This was a night we both needed to spend quality time together. At the end of the night when we were paying our bill he asked if we like comedians. We responded yes and that we looked into Tracy Morgan at the casino tonight. He preceeded to tell us he had two tickets he wasn't using because his father got ill. He offered them to us and did not think twice about asking for anything in return. Thank you Kyle for allowing me and my husband to have a night out when we don't always have the time to. Thank you for being a kind person and I will be sure to pay your kindness forward.
I was in a bit of a bind today early saturday feb 6th and needed help. There was no one I could call and all places were already closed or never opened. I walked up to the Zehrs customer service in Lasalle Ontario and explained my situation. Al came out and helped me with a cheerful smile
Thank you very much for your help
