Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
I was walking to the casino on Chatham Street East and while I was crossing at the lights, Police Chief Al Frederick walked by me. I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the fact that you stopped to say hello to me while we were walking in opposite directions. You made my day even better while I was going to the casino yesterday around 1:50 p.m..
Its great that Windsor hired a chief that enjoys dealing with the public.
I just want to share the story of Jamal Binion the Michigan man who was bullied and insulted by celebritie shaq and two other celebrities over his selfie that he posted on instagram. I know he is not a Windsor native but I wanted to let everyone know he created a group on Facebook called hugs don't judge because bullying happens everywhere and this group may be helpful to alot of people. This group has been blowing up with people with similar issues from all around the world and what they/ their children go through on a daily basis and how they deal with and manage these things. If you have a huge heart and have a story to share or would like to follow others stories send a request to Jamal to be added to his group. Thanks to Mr Binion for sharing his story and taking a stand towards all bullies.
Signed - Not perfect but learned my lesson.
the other day I was running rampid because I had lost my debit card (again..*sigh*) and was in a rush to get to a specialist appointment. I went to the TD by my house on Tecumseh, just past Ouellette and they were closed (I think they've moved?) so panicked, I turned around and headed for the Ottawa location.
when I walked in I mentally cursed as there of course was line and I had to get this done because I knew I might need it for my appointment. while standing in line I saw the cutest exchange occur between a clerk and an adorable young boy, perhaps 4-5 yrs old. while she typed away and helped mom, she had an ongoing discussion with this little guy about a rock he'd found. standing high on his tiptoes, he hefted it up over his head so she could see his prize. they talked about where he'd found it, how heavy and how awesome it clearly was. this little guy was quite impressed with himself and a little chest puffing may have occurred. the clerk of course awarded him with a shiny sticker, which turned up the happy dial a few more levels lol..
the whole time, the clerk never missed a beat and efficiently moved on to the next person, the one after that and finally me!! when I got up, I apologitically said I was in a hurry and asked if I should just withdraw money or try for the new card? she said it would be a quick process and it was. I was so thankful I wanted to give her a shiny sticker lol.
so to TD bank staff thank you! I made my appointment, head still attached and you obviously made a little boys day.
I’m a girl, I may not be thin or have a great smile compared to others but I am who I am. I’m a girl, and I am tired of people thinking they are better than me. I’m a girl, I have a right to do and say what I want. If I want to laugh at a joke I thought was funny, I will. If I want to sing a song even though my voice isn't that great, I will. I will stand tall and do my best to make it seem everything you say about me or do to me doesn't hurt. But, I’m a girl, a girl who still hurts on the inside. I’m a girl, a girl who still cries when I go to bed. I know one day all this will be in the past, but until that day I will try and make it through these days. I will not hurt myself because you say mean offensive things to me, I am smarter than that. I will not hesitate to post a picture of me just because I'm worried that you might comment and laugh at how I look. I will not put that bag of chips away because you stare at me while you eat your salad. I don't make fun of you for doing anything you do, so why judge me? You are no better, if anything you are worse. I don't need to laugh at someone or make someone feel like crap to make myself feel better. Don't Bully Me, because you can’t beat me. I’m a girl, and I am a stronger girl than you. - Anonymous
My friend posted this on her wall and I wanted to share. I love her so much and I want her to know that I think she is amazing. You have been spotted C
Spotted on Monday. The staff at Factory Direct. You guys were quick, efficient and knowledgeable about your products. You were all positive and friendly, engaging me in casual conversation.
The service has never been bad before, but this was noticeably excellent. Good job!
Sorry for the late post. I'm not as quick and efficient.
I would like to thank two people for their kindness today.
Thank you to the gentleman at the mcdougall medical centre. I was in a rush to get to my appointment. you waited for me to park and then you offered me a parking token and then a parking ticket good for the day. I passed it on.
That made my day better then I met a generous woman in the 700 building parking lot. you needed change for a five. I gave you the two dollars I had to help you out. I wanted nothing in return. you insisted I take the five and would not take no for an answer. thank you both for your kindness today.
Today at work a young man came in and paid for his gas. He then asked how much did the customer who was pumping into his gas can put. The customer had just finished pumping and I told him it would be 5 dollars. So he said I would like to pay that for him, and he did. The other customer came in to pay and I said that guy there just paid for your gas. That customer was a bit stocked but happy. To that young man, that was very nice and you have been spotted.
To my daughters friend who on numerous occasions stays after school with her to help her with her math homework so that she can get her grade up. You have been spotted
