People begging for money..I used to give and now I try to avoid because we all weren't born rich and all have to work for our money..and sometimes the people asking for money have all day to sit around with their signs and are better dressed than myself which is the reason I stopped handing anyone $..anyhow this morning at 6:30am (on my way to work) on the corner of I believe crawford and univeristy a middle aged guy waved me down..(i was stopped at a red light or else i would've drove off being a young 30 yr old woman and also you never know nowadays what someone is capable of)..so yeah, i unrolled my window a smidge and offcourse he was asking for $ , had a whole sob story saying he was fropm essex and needed to get a bus home..ok whatever true or not i wouldn't go anywhere away from home without a penny..sooo i was like ok i will quickly check(i do still have a heart), well then he was like you know a $20 would be good! I was like excuse me , or a $5..beggers can't be picky.(.and I have 2 little babies at home..the $ that I go make I use for my children(diapers, formula, clothes, etc)..I said no not 20, i will see what I have, and gave him as much change i could quickly grab and he took it and started counting ...his first story was hes from essex has no $ has to get a bus, then when he asked for a specific amount of $ he also said you know I could get a coffee as well!!.....What the heck, I was trying to be a nice person and to have someone take $ count it and then say well that won't get me too far!!!! wow!! I said well you know it is something i didn't have to give you anything..count your blessings..he went off saying well i guess its better than nothing!!!! Shake my head at you..after that now I think you were for sure lying and probably needed that $ for something else (alcohol, drugs, etc)with that rotten attitude! Be thankful for what anyone will give you, because they definetly do NOT have to.!
Saw this at Mcdonald's drive thru. You couldn't drive up a bit to throw it in the garbage? Or wait till you get home and throw it in the garbage? Don't be lazy and inconsiderate and pick up after yourself.
Traffic, Traffic and more Traffic! Welcome to Walker Road!!
I always see posts on here about people paying it forward and returning things that have been lost, so I hate to be a downer... but on Monday my iPhone and credit card were stolen from me while I was out with some friends. My wallet was recovered, with ONLY the credit card missing. Turns out it was used six times, once at a Tim Horton's and five times at the same gas station. My cell phone was turned off immediately after being stolen, but it contains my entire work portfolio along with family photos that are pretty irreplaceable. I've filed a police report, but I'm hoping that if anyone has any information they'll be able to help me out. The phone is an iPhone 4S with a small scratch on the front. The card has been cancelled and the police financial crimes unit are currently investigating, but all in all I'm just really disappointed in whoever did this. Karma will catch up to you even if the cops don't.
Monday, March 17 around 730am I was driving to work West Bound on the 401. I spotted a black SUV pulled over to the side of the road on fire. I pulled over to call 911 and they said no one had called it in. I didn't see anyone in the vehicle as I drive by but a transport truck pulled over as well awhile back. Hope everything was ok.

Sitting at my kids school waiting to go in and a guy parks in front of me, i made it a point to park before the walkway to let the kids in wheelchairs cross the street ok, and this guy parks in front of me and blocks the walk way so anyone crossing cant, were is the common sense and consideration?
Dear Teachers of all elementary and secondary schools;
I am a supply teacher and I love coming to your school. I am eager to assist in whatever capacity and am more that happy to help you if you need anything .what bothers me though is not being acknowledged by you when I greet you in the hallways, in the lunchroom, photocopy room you even came into my room one day and didn't even knock or say hello. My goodness, some of you can be pretty rude. I am visiting your home and most times, you do not make me feel welcome at all. You are mentoring and working with vulnerable students, so please, teachers, mind YOUR manners!
I was at food basics tonight. I was getting milk, while in the fridge I noticed the tops of the bags were really wet. I also noticed mildew smell. I looked further into the back of the fridge behind the milk and there was black mold all over the back wall of the fridge.
