I see you

Can we acknowledge the constant misuse of the word "seen"? I read these posts everyday, the majority of which are written by adults, and am just floored at the lack of simple grammar skills.

I saw geese yesterday.
I have seen geese before.
Never: I seen geese today.

When you send an email, comment, etc, you're giving the readers an impression of yourself, make it a good one. I refuse.to believe our city is overrun with illerterates.

To the young man outside at Fresh Co on McDougall

There was a young man standing outside Fresh Co wearing pajama pants and a parka Sunday around 4:30-5:00. I have spotted you and understand your angst. You asked me for money for food. My first gut reaction was "no", but I took a 1/ 2 a second to look into your eyes. What I saw was a young man (18-19) down on his luck, who probably was struggling right now. I saw a neighbour's son / a relative in your eyes. You were someone's son. And I felt your pain. So I bought you some groceries and a gift card. You thanked me and left to get out of the cold.

I also spotted everyone else in the store shopping at that time. I understand that not all can help, but I didn't spend much to buy him some healthy groceries, and most of us can spare a little extra for someone in need. Please stop being so self-absorbed and start being human to strangers who need a hand up.

There are many more young men in this community like him and if you wish to help, please donate to the non-profits that help them, like Street Health Homeless Centre/ Unit 7 (519-977-9200) or Drouillard Place (519-253-1073).

Spotted: good deed at metro

My mom was grocery shopping at Metro, cashed out and was about to leave when she noticed a woman that was having a hard time walking with hands full of groceries outside. She approached the lady and asked her if she wanted a hand bringing the grocery bags to her car, and she then explained that she could not afford a car so she must walk to get groceries. So my mom offered her a ride home and even loaded all her bags into the car for her. The lady was so thankful! I am such a proud daughter to have a caring mother that puts everyone else before her. Way to go mom, you have been spotted!

IMPROPER PARENTING TO DISABLED SON

Spotted... To the couple who had a disabled son in a wheel chair at Thai Palace on Saturday night, he wasn't inturrupting anyone. You didn't have to beSo mean to him.. The poor kid couldn't even say anything without you telling him to relax and behave your in a restaurant ... Instead of causing a minor scene about your precious son doing nothing, concentrate on how to conduct proper parenting .
From the one sitting next to you.

I was shopping in Walmart east, around 2 this Sunday afternoon.I took my items to the car and put them in the trunk and pushed the cart to where the carts were stacked.I got into my car and drove away.At my next stop,I realized I ahd left my canary yellow (with a black case on) iPhone 5,in the cart,in the parking lot.I went back and it was gone.I went into the store and spoke to a lady at the service desk and she took my name and my daughter's number.I went to Telus and they locked the phone and gave me a new sim card for the old iPhone that I (thankfully) didn't get rid of,and I still have phone service....But I would really like my new cell phone back.It is no good to anyone now.It is reported lost or stolen and is unusable.So please,if you found it,message me here and I will gladly pick it up. There are many kind people out there and I hope the finder is one of them. !!!!!!!!!!
