Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings all around the world
I was at the river front yesterday getting ready to watch the fireworks with my 2 kids 9 & 12 years old. My youngest son asked for glowing bracelets but couldn't find them anywhere so my son asked me to ask a family that was passing by from where they got theirs so I did... It turned that they did not buy them from the riverside. I thanked them then went on their way. 2 minutes later they came back and handed a glowing bracelet to my son, I can't explain the feeling my kids and I felt, we were overwhelmed then not even 5 minutes after that they come back and handed us another bracelet to my older son so I hear the mother saying we did not notice the other kid. I was speechless so were my kids. Those small acts of kindness can raise and teach a good generation to come. My kids were very happy. Thank you ohh so kind family. God bless you
To the RN in the black minivan who was following me on Banwell Rd. early evening a week ago today. I won't apologize for wasting a few seconds of your time by crawling over those extremely rough railroad tracks between EC Row and CTY. Rd. 42. Your hand motions and expressions of anger as you followed me over the tracks then literally jerked around to pass me were unwarranted. I noticed your license plate had your name on it as well as RN. I pulled up beside you at the light to try to explain to you that because of a neck injury I am forced to crawl over those tracks to avoid excruciating pain shooting through my neck and shoulder. You didn't hear a word I said because of your ranting and raving. You certainly didn't show much class for an RN. I admit I flipped you the bird and mimicked your gestures but your actions were uncalled for. A word of advice, if you are going to behave so irrationally maybe you should give up the personalized license plate. I for one hope I never have to be in your care. I respectfully left your name out of this posting but I am sure you will know who you are if you read this.
Both of my kids had medical appointments at the Jackson Park Medical Complex this morning, but almost 2 hours apart, so I decided to take them separately rather than making each sit through the other's appointment. I had intended to just pay for a full-day parking pass, then pass it on after I was done for the day, but when I stopped the car by the machine and went to purchase the ticket, a very kind woman offered me a ticket with plenty of time left on it. I thanked her for her kindness, and went to the appointment. I returned to my car at exactly the time the ticket was valid until (weird coincidence!), then left and went to drop the first child off at daycare, pick the other one up at school, and turn around and head back for appointment #2. When I came back to the office, I stopped at the machine again and was just about to purchase a full-day ticket, when a gentleman in a large black pick-up truck told me not to put any money in the machine. I thought perhaps it was broken, but he proceeded to hand me a parking pass, and said that it was good for the rest of the day. I accepted it with much thanks, and assured him that I would pass it on when I had finished with it. I wanted to let him know that I did pass the ticket along, and asked the man that I gave it to if he would be sure to do the same. Not only was I fortunate enough to receive the kindness of 2 strangers today, I was able to teach my 5 year old son to be grateful for the kindness of strangers, and also to share that kindness with others. Thank you very much to both of the individuals who shared their parking passes with me today. Your actions were appreciated!!
Please take a minute to read our story. Our family is going through a very difficult time. My mother has been diagnosed with inoperable, incurable small cell lung cancer. She has been going through chemo for the last year to try and keep the growth to a minimum. She is unable to work now due to her terminal illness which is causing financial stress. She has always been there working hard and helping others, we hope that this time she can get some help and relief from the stress she is under. There is severe damage to her roof which needs to be fixed because it is causing damage inside her home. I have nominated her for a program new to Canada called "No Roof Left Behind" and the winning family will get a new roof at no charge. If you could please spare a few minutes ad read our story on the website provided below and vote for. It would be so much to her and our family.

Would have been nice to use the pool this summer that you said was in great shape when we bought your house in the Winter. I read a lot of 'good ' spotted every day and think some Windsor people are fabulous. You, however, have broken the heart of a little boy who's only form of physical therapy that works is swimming, and you are not one of the good people.
To people living in/ around the villages of riverside area, my 10 yr old daughter had her bike stolen today, while she was at school. The bike is a purple super cycle SC1800. We live in the villages, and someone on an adjacent street said he seen a young man riding a purple bike trying to figure out how to get off of the street and he was wearing no shoes. I am almost certain this is the guy who took her bike because whom ever took it, left behind their black nike flip flops in my back yard. I know this area gets a bad rap but I know there are a lot of good, honest and hard working people that live here. Please if any one hears or sees anything please contact the Windsor Police Thanks
