To the gentlemen at The Barbers In,
Today my little guy was in need of immediate medical care. I can't thank thank you enough for everything you did for us today. You all went above and beyond. He's doing much better now. Thank you so much.

After a late night shopping trip at walmart with my 3 year old my debit card wasn't working and this very generous gentleman was behind me in line and paid for my shopping cart full of stuff. Your generosity is very appreciated and left me speechless!!! You have been spotted and it my makes me so happy to know there are still caring people out there :)
My husband and I's first year anniversary was Sunday we also have a two month old baby but we didn't want to spend the day at home doing nothing so we decided to go out for a late breakfast around noon. We're first time parents and hadn't taken our son to any restaurants yet we were kinda nervous we weren't sure how it would be. When we got there the resuarant was very busy we almost left but we decided to see how long the wait would be. We stood at the door for a very short time before a really nice young girl never got her name came and sat us at a table she even set up the chairs so we could put our car seat on them instead of on the floor. She was really helpful and very sweet. Considering the fact is was so busy I didn't expect that at all. Also The service was fast and the food was amazing. I really appreciate them all especially the nice young girl that sat us you made my anniversary and I want to say Thank you so much! Being a new mom I don't get out much so when I do and it's a great experience it's very special. Thank you lumberjack you've been spotted!
Yesterday was the first day of the new skating season for my 4 year old boy. While there with my daughter watching him I noticed a woman who just seemed like she was better then everyone or she thought her young daughter was. I am having a baby on friday so I am largely pregnant and a bit slower when moving around. While on the ice, this womans daughter was rude to my son, not being nice. After they were off the ice I was walking out of the room, my son ran ahead, two year old daughter and I were following when this woman came to the other side of the door and just let her daughter whom had a large skating bag aswell as herself just walk in forcing me and my daughter out of the door way and lose sight of my son. It was clear of how pregnant I am, and the fact that I had two small children, this woman could not tell her daughter to wait for us to get out of the dor frame or atleast say excuse me. What are you teaching your child? I found you to be so rude and to allow your daughter to act that wayis just wrong. To the rude and inconsiderate lady in the tie dye florida sweater, you have been spotted. Learn some manners and respect and teach your daughter.
to the man tutoring the young girl in Manning McDonalds Oct 22, your patience and kindness to the girl you were working with is a beautiful thing. I hope you both the best in the world
Last week I went to get an oil change at "Donato Auto Collission Limited" and I asked how long it would take, the owner said that it will take about half an hour. An hour went by and I started to wonder what was going on there was no one around to ask, the owner had taken off and there was no secretary. I tried to look inside the mechanic shop and there was no one there either, and I couldnt take my car because they had it lifted up. After an hour and a half the owner finally showed up and tells me the car is ready and when I asked him why it took so long he didnt bother to answer and charged me. So I go up to get my car and its still lifted up and when I go look for the owner he has left again, so I see the mechanic and I ask whats going on and to my surprise he tells me that they didnt have the filter my car needed so all this time they had been waiting for it to come. The owner didnt bother to tell me that so I waited 2 hours for my car to get an oil change, and they were not busy at all. The mechanic didnt know that I was waiting so I couldnt complain to them and the owner was missing and only came around for the payment, he didnt bother to apologize or show his face. Worst customer service ever from the owner and not the mechanics!!!
Spotted : To the two ladies who made sure both doors were open as I walked into the mall with my 1 year old in my arms. One of you said "how much if I wanted you to hold me like that" and smiled. It's not often being a single dad of 2 I have time to go out and meet an attractive woman like you. I wish I had thought to stop and make some small talk. If by any chance you see this please comment.
Signed a single father of two
On September 30th, I went to the Windsor Regional Hospital (Hotel Dieu) because I had suicidal tendencies, and I've had them for quite a while. On this particular day, I just couldn't handle anything at all. I was really frustrated with everything and I wanted to end it so bad; I was already planning how to do it. But then I remembered I promised my mother a year ago that I will always think about her when my depression gets the best of me, and henceforth decided to go to the hospital instead.
I got there in tears, but still went to talk to the nurse at where you register and show your healthcard. I told her I was going to commit suicide and she said "are you depressed?". I told her "very". She told me to sit down. I waited for 30 minutes, and no one called me in. So I left.
I walked towards downtown where an older gentleman saw me crying and he said things to comfort me. His kindness calmed me down and I managed to get back home without doing anything.
To the nurse at Windsor Regional Hospital around 9:30pm on September 30th, my case could've turned out a lot differently. If anyone goes to the hospital seeking help in regards to suicide, DON'T tell them to wait. That is the worst thing you could ever do. I'm posting this because there are people out there who may not have anyone to talk to, or comfort them at such times and will give up instantly
And to anyone who comments "suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem": you never know how hard it is when you're in the situation. Don't be a know-it-all.
