To the man named DAN!
On January 25th my friend and I were saved by a very nice gent from down the block named Dan. We were trying to get my mom’s car started and in typical fashion, everything was going wrong. The key was stuck in the ignition, it wouldn't turn over, and the car was clicking like crazy. Turning the four ways on made the clicking stop, pressing the brake made the clicking speed up. There was a light flashing on the dash that I’d never seen before let alone knew what it was protesting so vehemently. I had to google a key release just to get the key out and we couldn't even get it in neutral to move it. We tried jumping it and that seemed to make the clicking more angry and insistent that I was an idiot. My neighbor came out and tested the battery for us and said it was completely dead, which just confused me more because of all the blinking lights and clicking. My car knowledge is limited after dead battery, tire pressure and fluid top ups. So, my only possible diagnosis: demon possession.

While we're sitting there trying to decide if we should try to jump it (again) or call an exorcist. A guy pulls up in a jeep and asks if we're having trouble. More than u know my friend!
I quickly gave him the disclaimer because it seemed more complicated to me than just us needing a jump. "ok" he chuckled, and drives off. I’m assuming he's accepted it’s more of a pain than it's worth but to my surprise he parked and got out. Long story short, Dan from down the street was able to fix the issue and get the car started, which I never expected to even be a possibility. Honestly, I would have been happy with just getting it off the road and into my driveway until we could call someone. He'll never understand what he did for me yesterday. My mom is currently at Malden park, her car was at my house so I could keep an eye on it (mission failed apparently lol) and until it could be sold. My friend was having trouble with her car so we were lending her my mom’s in the interim. The fact that the car wouldn't start was just the cherry on my sundae as it was a double fail on my part lol. I’ve been able to stay pretty positive of late but I recently took leave from work, there has been issues with lawyers, personal stressors, etc. and now this damn car lol. I’m not sure how much is left before I hit the end of my rope but I could feel it getting closer yesterday, not going to lie. Then in walks this very nice person who wanted to help just for the sake of helping someone. It was exactly what I needed when I needed it. I must say we have been very blessed with support from our family and friends; but a complete stranger? Thank you didn't seem enough! I asked if him and his wife whom he talked lovingly about enjoyed wine, or anything of that sort, he wouldn't hear of it. Said he just liked helping people. if I had been more smart and less overwhelmed, I would have asked which garage I assume he works at (my assumption coming from his knowledge and coveralls so I could be totally wrong lol) and gave them a much-earned shout out. Either way, thank you Dan for not only getting the car started but for giving me back a few feet of rope I’d lost this past week.

Found a kids blanket on the villages of riverside. looks like it took a lot of time to make.

Saturday January 21, 2017 walking along the river between Buckingham and Pillette, lost my gold versace style wedding band. If found please call 519-259-8798. Reward being offered.

While walking through the parking lot tonight at Fresh Co on Tecumseh and Rivard just after 8 pm I found a Scotiabank bank card on the ground. I do not remember what the last name on the card was but the first name was Michelle. If your name is Michelle and you were at Fresh Co tonight and lost your bank card, I handed it in to an employee who put it in the customer service office.

To the lady working in the drywall store on Monday afternoon you have been spotted!!! JG Drywall and Painting in the 3300 block of Tecumseh. I was parked outside your store to look at the damage to the record store that I shop at and saw you dancing. It looked like you were dancing to Spanish music and I just wanted to tell you you were really good it put a big smile on my face after learning that my favorite record store was destroyed. One of the other store owners told me that your store was robbed last week too, so it was really nice to see someone who just dealt with catastrophe be positive and enjoying the day. A lesson for everyone to make the best of their day no matter what they are going through. Today you made me smile.

January 19th at noon in the Food Court at Devonshire Mall I'd like to give a big Thank-you to (RN) Kelly and her 2 (RN) friends who assisted my mother when she became ill. They moved into action when they saw I needed assistance. Thanks for your caring ways in assisting my mom before the ambulance came. It's nice to know there are still angels in the world today. A big Thank-you to the Devonshire Mall paramedics and the Windsor paramedics for their assistance as well. The system worked quickly together to get the care we needed. Thanks so much.

Yesterday, while walking with my young daughters into Devonshire Mall, I fell in front of the BMO entrance. Already having a broken foot, getting up was proving a little difficult. Many people stopped to help me and my girls, and with the strength of 2 very kind gentlemen, I was back on my feet in no time. Days like this, remind me of the kindness that still very much exists in our city. Thank you for all who took time out of their day, to ensure my girls and I were okay.

I'm looking for a medium in Windsor to talk to my loved one that has passed. Please comment below who you believe would be fit for me.
