Lady in distress

So today has been one of those days that I should have stayed in bed and hid under the covers.

First I locked my keys in the car, and couldn't find the spare ones, then Tim's mess up my order, then I am late for a meeting but last but not least I was driving and heard a bang. Well sure as I thought it was my muffler. Yep my muffler fell off in front of Kennedy's funeral home (car might be giving me a sign!!!) So as I try to call for help with no luck. These young guys in a construction truck stopped and took pictures of my back end ( the car for pete's sake) of the muffler hanging ,then drove off, So I proceeded to drive with my head down to the next parking lot and stopped my car, down on my back trying to remove this muffler with my snow brush an women appears, she said can I help you I seen you driving, so on the ground she goes and removes the muffler. I thank her and told her she was my angel.
So here there was 2 guys in a work truck taking pictures of a lady and her broken muffler and no common sense to help out. Then this woman dressed up nicely doesn't give a second thought to jump in and help. I don't know what is going wrong with this world but it needs to change.


Sorry for the negative post, But on a positive note I had an angel help me!!!!!

Ontario Energy Group -Scam

The Ontario Energy Group going door-to-door in the South Walkerville area. Do NOT let them in your home. They are a scam. They are not from the province, they are a private company that will give you misinformation to trick you into buying a new AC unit or furnace.

An Angel Among Us

The neighbor Lady that came to my house in tears looking for her lost cat Moo-Moo has taken it upon herself to take care of a cat ( Mia ) that had to be rehomed. The owner is dying from lung cancer and too sick to keep up. I spotted you out and about searching endlessly for your lost baby and feeding the homeless and abandoned in the area. I spotted you feeding and cuddling the colony you take care of. How I wish all people had this kind of compassion.

Courteous Tim Horton's Customer

To the folks in the white Dodge Caliber in front of me in line at the Tim Horton's (Dougall & Tecumseh W) this morning around 10:50 a.m., thank you. These gracious people were waiting to turn left into the drive through when I pulled up to make my right turn in. Since they had clearly been waiting there before me, when the traffic cleared, I let them turn in first, as is my usual practice. I don't know how long these poor people had been waiting to turn into the drive thru, but it must have been a while because they paid for my order, which was not a simple coffee. I did not get your license plate, but I hope you know who I am talking to based on the car and time of day. Thank you so much for your generosity. You are truly nice people.

Pretty rude driver

I was very surprised at this because generally I find the drivers here very very courteous but there's always one.
Being from Florida no one is courteous down there so it's a refreshing change but.
I was westbound on E.C.Row and turning left at Manning road with an SUV in front of me. The arrow turned green but it took a second for the SUV to make the turn but this young punk behind me laid on his horn and I pointed at the car in front of me and as I did that he flipped me the bird.
He tailgates me all the way up Manning to #42.
It was funny though because I could hear the booming of his radio so the radio had more power than his little 4 cylinder Toyota Corolla
If you read this you'll know who you are and all I can say to you is
'Grow up " because they shoot people for less in Florida

Amazing Windsorite Selflessly Cleaning our Parks

To the wonderful fellow who walked around McKee park cleaning up garbage- you have been spotted and I'd like to thank you for your selfless act! It was at 2pm Friday, August 21st. You parked your truck, got out and collected all the garbage into a large wastebasket, then drove away. I wanted to thank you at the time but was in my parked car with my daughter asleep in her car seat. Way too often I see fellow Windsorites littering in our parks, conservation areas, and out of their car windows while driving. It's absolutely disgusting and disheartening. We need more people like you who take pride in their city and help to keep our parks clean. I'm sure parents who take their children to this park appreciate it immensely as well as the many geese, ducks and other wildlife who frequent the park. Much thanks to you for your beautiful act of kindness to our city, and to planet Earth!

Costco to the rescue

This morning a man at Costco appeared to have a heart attack. Was unconscious in the parking lot on the ground. His wife was naturally frantic... Costco workers and passerbys jumped to his needs. They immediately began chest compression and took turns doing so when the other would tire. I was amazed how well trained and calm everyone seemed. They did everything they could for this man, continuing chest compression, on what seemed like an eternity for the ambulance to arrive. I'm not sure how the man is doing, but every individual involved should know they worked their butt off in saving his life. I was impressed on an emotional level. And darn proud to be a part of a community that will come together for a perfect stranger...
Costco you have been spotted!
