grey and white long haired cat - initially shy, but friendly has been hanging around my grandmother's house on Francois Road in Windsor for about one week. Being fed and has a box with blanket to sleep in. Cannot take in.
This beautiful critter was found 2 weeks ago near downtown WINDSOR and I'm unable to keep. I've posted flyers to no avail. If u or someone u know owns this amazingly good looking critter please in box Victoria Campbell-Canduro ASAP. I will NOT be giving anymore info, will need that from whoever responds to my post, thank you.
The other day I had an appointment with our pediatrician for my three small children. I went to the appointment by myself, thinking I could handle all three of them by myself. They are 3 (with autism), 2, and 4 months.
I loaded our strolled with the diaper bag, my purse, car seat, and sleeping baby. I pushed that with one hand and held hands with the bigger two boys with my other hand. It was slow crossing the parking lot but we made it. We got in to the lobby of the building and - nightmare - the elevator was broken.
I called upstairs to Dr. Morgan's office to advise them that we were in the building early but would be late for our appointment because I had to find a way to bring all three young kids and all of our stuff up the stairs, while somehow not leaving anyone unattended at any given time.
Lynn was very understanding and insisted on coming downstairs to give me a hand. She asked the main floor pharmacy staff to stash my stroller, and then carried my two year old and held hands with my three year old to walk up the stairs, while I carried the baby in his car seat, the diaper bag and my purse - all the way up the stairs, down the hall, and in to the office.
When our appointment was over, Lynn again helped me round up the boys, and brought us back to the elevator, which had been fixed. She got in with us anyway, and stayed with me, providing help until we located our stroller and got the baby settled in. She made sure I would be okay to make it back to the car before she went back upstairs.
I'm not sure how I would have been able to do that without Lynn's help, and I'm so thankful to her for going above and beyond her job description to help me out. Dr. Morgan is lucky to have such a great team. Thank you again Lynn - your kindness has been spotted! :)
I recently applied to a few jobs posted via indeed being offered by a company called Scotia Personelle Ltd. These were jobs such as Au Pairs, waitressing in the Caribbean etc. Upon receiving a phone call I decided to try and do a little research prior to phoning the company back. I found many posts which indicated horrible experiences with this company along with many red flags. The few postings I did find that were positive seemed as though the company themselves may have written it. I'm not discouraging anyone from applying however I'd proceed with caution as I'd hate for anyone wanting a wonderful experience to be given the run around or go through a big headache. If anyone has had any experiences with this company I'd be I'd be interested in hearing them. Just looking out for fellow Windsorites
I would like to send a BIG shout out to the many people who participated in the search of a beautiful chocolate lab that was hit by a car and bolted from fright! She spent 3 days on the run, eventually was spotted and an organized group from the FB page Lost and Found Pets of Windsor and Essex County, gathered at a nearby business to spend their Thanksgiving Day, searching on foot through corn fields and mud til they finally find her. Although very frightened, bruised and with minor cuts, it looks like shes going to be ok. Special thanks to Nala Bear and Baxter Bob Clark for their organization of this search and their sincere interest in running a page much needed to help the public with problems such as this! Again, WTG to all involved in this incredible ordeal!
This morning at Dougall and Tecumseh Tim Hortons, after waiting in a 10 car line up to get my some breakfast on the way to school, I got to the window and was told the debit was down and that there was a sign outside. So being a loyal customer who is there every morning spending $10 to $20 plus a good tip they let me drive away without my sons sandwich. I think they could have given a free bee for loyal customer or kept an IOU, something! I also go many times for sandwiches at lunch for my kids even though the workers have problem putting no tomato as requested. 30 + years I've been a customer and for the last at least 3 years every morning, no longer. Also they have their employees push dark roast and verify that order is correct on screen taking extra time with each customer in the drive thru while cars are dangerously lined up on both Dougall and Tecumseh roads to get in drive thru. My husband stops there on his way to work for coffee everyday and is now going to ouellette and eugenie instead as he is also tired of slow service.
earlier this morning about 11:30am I was going west on totten when I passed a school yard with what appeared to me to be a class-sized group of kids outside.
a young boy with a green and white hoody was sitting on a bench when another boy with dark curly hair and a gray Tshirt walked up to the kid sitting and took a couple of swipes at him. at first I thought maybe they were goofing off u til gray Tshirt kid pulled the other kids hoody over his head, dragging him off the bench and onto the ground, punching him a few times. he stopped for a second until a second kid joined in and they kicked the kid a few times while he was down before he was able to get back up again.
I was unfortunately not able to stop at that exact moment ( and I know I'm gonna catch heck for this but the situation didnt seem life and death as he got up and seemed fine). when I got up the road, instead of continuing on I turned around and headed back to the school to find an adult (was having a hard time finding a number for the school). in the ten mins or so it took to do this, all the kids were all gone. I called the school to make sure the kid was okay and offer details to what had happened but the lady I spoke with said their kids hadn't yet gone out for lunch yet and it may have been kids from another school nearby. she said she would call around and check into it for me. she was very nice and didn't make me feel half as crazy as I sounded to myself calling about some schoolyard scuffle but it bothered me. before some of u go on a rampage about how I should have called the police or an ambulance for the victim, it seemed more harassment than a real intent to inflict harm. not okay by any means but had i felt the kid was in real danger I would have left the car in the middle of the road and intervened.
so if your kid happens to wear a horizontal green and white striped hoody and came home today a little rougher than he left this morning, I just want u to know that he was not at all at fault. so many times when kids are bullied, parents ask what their kid did to provoke it. he literally was just sitting there. he didn't do anything (that I saw) wrong, possibly ages 11-13? he seemed relatively unharmed but I've been worrying about him all day.
and to the bully apparently having a good time at someone else's expense: one day a kid smaller and quieter than u is gonna pack a bigger punch than u do and I doubt very much ull garner much sympathy.
not that I condone violence lol
