Rules are there for everyone's safety

To the walkers and bikers at the river front.

First , to the bikers, stay off the walking path. It clearly is marked where the bike path is and where the walking path is. It also clearly states that bikes are not permitted near the river walk where the railings are. This is for every one's safety. It isn't just a dumb rule some one made up. If you are biking along and get snagged by a fishing line, you will know it....


Second, to the walkers, be respectful, stay out of the biking lane. Keep you KIDS OUT OF THE BIKING LANE!! At no point is it a safe idea to allow a small child to casually saunter in the bike lane. A lot of that trail is down hill or has turns that are obstructed by bushes so seeing around them is a challenge... I have 3 young children and I can tell you that I have gone over and over where we walk and where the bikers ride. This isn't because I am a grouch, it's for their safety. Yes, bikers should be watching, but so should walkers. It takes minimal force to cause a head injury that can result in brain death or damage. Acting like it's no big deal is giving yourself a false sense of security. You wouldn't let your children play in the street with the cars, why would you allow them in a midst bikes that can hurt them just as easily. Don't forget that it isn't just bikes on that trail. It's bikes, skate boards, roller blades , the art trolly ( which is 2 golf carts put together, imagine getting run over by that), and the maitenance golf cart that goes some well faster then any biker....Use common sense and when that fails you, read the signs. You wouldn't drive on the wrong side of the road and just see what happens... so why ignore the signs else where?

Shame on you...Bariatric Center

My son has been successfully losing weight ....but one obstacle is weighing him in every week because he is to heavy for a regular scale since it does not go over 400 lbs, so he approached the Bariatric Center to have use of there scale,they allowed my son to weigh in ONCE then called him to say they will no longer allow this due to liability if he trips on the scale....SERIOUSLY? Are you not there to help?! My son went to get his doctor to refer him there and even then he is not allowed. (He was also willing to sign a waiver). THIS will not keep my son down WE will find somewhere that he will be able to track his progress!

Terrible Owners

Today at 9:30 am I went to the 400 building downtown. When I got there, there was a dog tied to the front door in the cold rain. After I was done inside an hour later the dog was still there, shivering in the cold. Who does that to there dog? That is animal cruelty and it needs to stop!

Red Jeep 4 X 4 On Front Rd

To the young man on Front Road in the Red Jeep 4X4 yesterday (Tuesday) around 5:30pm. You tailgated my blue Mazda 3 all the way down Front Rd. and when I turned left onto Victory, you quickly changed lanes, and shot me the finger. Just a note - I had my two children (5 and 2) in the car, and you not only put all three of us in danger with your unsafe driving, but you also reminded me how much 'driving is privilege not a right'! Please be cautious of others on the road...especially when others are driving the actual speed limit. Parents: please remind your young drivers that they put themselves and others at danger when they are speeding...and remind them of road safety and respect for others!

Front Road - LaSalle

Front Road is under so much construction, everyone, especially those local to the LaSalle area know to expect delays. Everyone is in such a rush, mainly in the morning to get to the EC Row Expressway (East), however it is so upsetting that so few drivers will let others into the lane. People coming out of the Tim Horton's / Shell Gas Bar have little to no chance of getting into lanes, even when the traffic is barely moving! Please folks who use this route, be kind to the other drivers. There are very few options to get to the EC Row out of LaSalle, so people can not make alternative choices to get to the expressway. As I always tell me kids: 'sharing is good for the soul'...please share the road, folks...there is no such thing as a 'morning rush' on Front Rd these days, as the traffic is moving minimally.

Do you know a good dentist?

DO YOU KNOW A GOOD DENTIST THAT WILL TAKE PAYMENTS FOR MAJOR DENTAL WORK? Saying BOOoooooooooooooo to the dentist I am currently seeing: here is my story.

I am on this site as I know there are many good people with good answers.

I am a cancer survivor. The treatment I had for Lymphoma and Thyroid cancer (YUP both at once) not only included chemotherapy but massive amounts of radiation also; in turn i have depletion of my jaw bone density and my teeth must be pulled and replaced with a full upper plate and partial lower plate. My dentist knew this when I started going to him a few years ago. I no longer work at a job that has dental coverage ( I have just changed jobs) and asked my dentist if we could still proceed with the treatment as per the schedule we had set and I could pay in installments as my coverage is no longer in place. in short, The answer was an BIG LOUD NO! I am trying all the usual avenues but am coming up short.

Please drop me an email if you can with any possibilities you might know of. Thanks a BUNCH for reading this post!

A lesson in roundabouts

To the goofs who don't know how to properly use a roundabout... You don't need to stop and let people in. They yield to you not the other way around!
