So I was at Devonshire today with my wife and two 3 year old daughters, one of which is autistic. She had a meltdown in the mall, as she sometimes does due to sensory overload or really anything else that upsets her greatly.

So as we're trying to leave with our child a woman (who has a child of her own RIGHT THERE) has a nerve to tell my wife "Can't you control your kid?". My wife rightly told her were to go. An employee at Sears (which is where this occurred) tried to diffuse the situation but managed to give my wife a dirty look at the same time as if the whole situation is her fault.

Anyone who's had children should know sometimes they are bratty. It's not always in your control no matter how good a parent you are. If you think "well I didn't know she is autistic" is an excuse for ignorant comments, it's not. Try a little empathy. A woman carrying a screaming kid out to the car is already at her wits end without an ignorant blowhard chiming in on her parenting skills!

From the backseat of my jeep came a fit of giggles from two sandy haired young boys. They are three and five and their whole world is ahead of them. My three year old loves construction trucks and the ability to say "NO" and my five year old curious as can be loves superheroes, lego, and asking "What if". We had just finished buying tomatoes at the new Mr Meat/ Jospehs Produce on Walker. It was a beautiful summer day as we had decided to go to McDonalds for ice cream. The light was green as we entered the intersection and had just turned yellow. You were blonde, quite young looking and had an older man in your passenger seat of your late model minivan. Half a second faster on my part and you would have hit us on the driver's side. Hard enough to injury or end the life of a brilliant five year old who starts SK in the fall. You may have injured or killed myself, their mom, their whole world. Driving on a hot summer day, I understand that as it is nice to get out and about yet think about your choices. The light was worth waiting for, as I slammed on my brakes to avoid being hit by you. I slammed on my brakes to spare my children the fate of meeting you and your late model mini van. I slammed on my brakes to avoid a hospital stay, to avoid picking out casket colours, to avoid the pain and heartache you would have caused. Driving may not be important to you, young, blonde, so full of life, but it is worth it to me. To be safe, responsible, and to think about the actions I do on the road and the consequences to those around me. You see, as you swerved hastily passed the vehicle which had the right of way. The lack of concern from the look on your face readily apparent on that summer afternoon. I noticed. I noticed that in the backseat of my vehicle sat my whole life conversing in a fit of giggles about ice cream in the hot summer sun. Think about them, the next time you careen through that yellow light, think about them as you nearly miss that red jeep.

Today i took my 3 children to micmac to enjoy the new dinosour play structure. A man showed up with no children looked to be late 40's early 50's. He watched one little girl jump and play for a solid minute and a half. Then his eyes met mine and he looked away quickly. He sat at a picnic table then moved to another where he had a perfect view of both the splashpad from a distance and the play structure. I watched as this man very creepily stared at children as they ran and played. After about 10 or 15 minutes and still no sign of any of these children being wih this man i gathered my children, told the life guards at the pool what i had witnessed and then took 3 disappointed children out of the park. I may have been over reacting this man could have been harmless but you cant be too careful with precious children.mparents be careful and keep a watchful eye. I got a very bad vibe from this man.

Today, while at the park with my daughter and 2 nieces, I spotted, or rather smelled, a woman smoking a cigarette while pushing her toddler on a swing at the playground. I am pretty sure that if I am not allowed to smoke on a patio at a bar, where only adults 19 and up are allowed, that you are not allowed to smoke on the playground while 20 plus kids are running and playing.

Yesterday my cousin and i got into a car accident, i will not discusss details but mainly the women who was much older then us came out of her car screaming and swearing that we hit her car and she came at both of us, luckily we were able to call the cops right away but i was very confused. Accidents happen and we were willing to fix the damages 100%. I just feel that her approach was very wrong and the first thing we did was run up to her to see if she was okay and she starting swearing and going off on us. I feel that when people get into accidents people are in shock and upset but to try to handle it in a mature way and not to be upset that accidents happen. I cant stop thinking of her reaction toward us. We apologized to her and we faced the consequences but for her being older i feel she should of showed some respect toward our sympathy.

To the 4 young men in the black four door sedan with licence plates BMXH 220 driving down Ouellette ave yesterday at 12:45. You decided for some reason to swerve in and out of cars, cut off drivers without signalling and worst off all taunt me when I looked at you. I tried to roll down my window to let you know my 1 yr old daughter was in the backseat so you could think about the possibility of harming HER with your uncalled for juvenile actions but you drove off like the "tough guy" that I knew you were. Keep driving like that, I dare you. Your reckless behaviour WILL get you in trouble sooner or later. Grow up or return daddy's car. Ps- your plates were reported.

To the man at Subway that smacked his 4 year old in the back of the head because he doesn't like pickles... you have been spotted.

BUYERS BEWARE!!
Posted my wedding dress on kijiji and got a text only seconds later from a number in Texas.
Wanting to buy the dress and have me ship it to Florida for his niece. Willing to pay an extra $100 just for shipping.
He told me to make a paypal account so he can send me the money.
This did not sit right with me so I googled his number and sure enough it was know for fraud from many people on Craig's list.
What he does is gets you to sign up, send you a "conformation email" stating the money was sent and how to get it out.
In the email it sends you a link in the asking you to put your bank info, in order to receive the money.
This is a fake confirmation email. Once your information is in BOOM, your account are drained.
Here is the number 832-569-3260
Also had a scam email from alex.williams@gmail.com
Please please be careful.
