Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings all around the world
During my grandpa's final hours (Bill Abbott) on Saturday Sept 28 I wanted to give a shout out to the emergency team at Erie Shores Health Care Leamington for their caring and compassionate service. They deserve the recognition, thank you. A bigger shout out to the nurse who took care of him during the day, I believe her shift started at 7 am. I didn't quite get her name. But I do know that the compassion and care that she gave needs to be recognized, not only for him but for us. She offered us warm blankets etc not only checked in on him but us as well to see if we needed anything. Whenever I thought he needed something because he was uncomfortable she was there right away to assist. She made the circumstances more comfortable for us. A sincere thank you to her, a profession like that isn't easy, you did an amazing job.
If anyone has video cameras in or around this area and you have the ability to check them. I know 4 different people in this area that had their cars broken into. They broke my glass and took some change yet left a whole drawer of change. If you see anyone walking around the neighborhood around 2:00am-5:00am and you see something suspicious please call the Windsor police.
I want to give out a big thank you to the person who returned our stroller to toys r us after we completely forgot to fold it up and put it back in the truck!! We appreciate you!!
I was in the drive-thru at Tim Hortons on Ottawa street and this lovely lady in the blue car ahead of me paid for my entire breakfast order. I didn't really do anything special to deserve such wonderful treatment but I would like to mention this incident so others in our city know that there are still good people around. I don't know who you are, but you sure brightened my day today! Thank you!!
To the women in Walmart on the east end that helped unload and pack my groceries because my year and half old just wanted to be held (nap time melt down). Thank you, I am so grateful for the kindness you showed my daughter and I.
20190926 1255 @ Dollarama on Ottawa Street ..... - Talk About Paying It Forward !!!
After offering a man & woman the option to go ahead of me (since I had a cart full of items that were definitely going to take the lone cashier quite awhile to ring up), I was absolutely blown away by the young gentleman's generosity in reciprocating & just being an extremely nice guy ! In passing I had mentioned to both of them that I'd already missed the bus I intended to take and I had plenty of time before the next one, AND OUT OF NO WHERE he asked me, and to my great surprise how far I was going. Not far I told him, just to Parent Ave & Ottawa St, and here it comes folks. HE OFFERED TO GIVE ME (a handicapped person I must add) A RIDE HOME ! As I paid for everything he told me he'd be waiting out front when I was done. Sure enough as I left we connected again and we walked half a block to his car, introducing each to the other along the way. I had A LOT of purchases, A LOT !!!), and as heavy as they were he was quite happy to make room in his trunk for my 2 wheeled shopping cart as well as 2 large shopping bags - all stuffed to the brim ! Some extra room even had to be made in both the back & front seat areas to get me (along with a car seat, some toys, etc) into the car so we could be on our way. - and 6 blocks later I was home ! AND having had quite a bit of help I was (there's no other word for it) THRILLED that he had saved me a considerable amount of pain, as well as bus fare, and after offering him what it would have cost me to take a cab which he'd refused, I felt it was best to just offer a VERY HEARTFELT THANK YOU !
I'm not disclosing names here but I will say this: we need lots more Bulgarian people like this man ! AND we should all follow his example too !
I offer this married father of 2 (older boy, and a younger girl) a VERY BIG THANK YOU !
Something all readers might be interested in, 23 years ago I did almost exactly the same thing for an elderly woman that was having a hard time walking in deep snow to get to the A& P (showing my age aren't I) downtown.
Being a good person pays off. Maybe not soon, maybe not for a long time to come, but it does.
And the same thing applies in reverse too, Karma eventually comes around !
Thanks Mr. P.and as I said when you dropped me off your family should be VERY PROUD of DAD, and you can be sure that I'll PAY IT FORWARD !
Found this ring on walker road near grand marais. Birthstones and names ingraved. Someone must be missing this ring. Please help spread the word to find the owner!
This morning while awaiting my turn to make a left from dominion onto cabana, the impatient driver behind me was beeping their horn and pulling behind me as close as possible.
I guess they like some other's don't realize
Dominion at that spot is a ONE LANE ROAD and they just had to put on their patience panties and await their turn. I was also waiting for some younger students to cross before i could go. Dominion is a road that from roselawn to cabana has 2 grade schools with very young children crossing. To those that think I'm gonna move over for you to go when its one lane never gonna happen....wait your turn or go down Dougall its got 2 lanes.
was informed some residents on the street are getting plates/ videos of speeders flying down the residential road. So im sure it will be patrolled a lot more often.
