Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings all around the world
I would like to give a big thank you to my husband. It has still been pretty cold the last couple days not as bad as Tues. However you are at work in the cold for 10 hrs a day. Your devotion & dedication to provide for your family has been spotted. I know it doesn't get said often enough how much you are appreciated for your hard. I know on many occasions you would have much rather be home where it warm, but you went to work regardless. This goes not only to my husband, but to ALL you brave individuals that have to work in cold & wet conditions. So thanks!
From a grateful wife & 3 yr old daughter
This morning on my way to school, I saw two of Windsor's finest pushing a mini van that was stuck in the snow at the corner of Eugenie and Dougall at the Petro Canada. WTG guys I know it was cold and early but that's what we Windsorites like to see. It's these small things that keep my faith in our community.
You have been spotted,

I'd like to share with you that I had a very encouraging encounter with 4 very professional Ambulance attendants and Police Officers last night who helped with a situation. They had every right to be miserable. What ever their high pay was last night, it should have been doubled. It was a difficult situation for sure and they provided great service to their community. I have no idea who they are but just wanted to remind everyone that GOOD PEOPLE STILL LIVE IN WINDSOR ESSEX.
Thank you to the two ladies in the car that stopped when they witnessed the accident we were in. Thank you for your concern on my safety and for passing your information along to us as you witnessed it. No one else who witnessed it stayed. But you two ladies did. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. My husband and I appreciate it!
I want to thank the two gentlemen who stopped to help me get my stuck car out of the snow on St. Luke around 2:20pm. You helped me more than you know!
Kudos to the man who got out of his car on Howard by the mall, to help an elderly lady make it off of the main road, over a snow bank that she fell into and onto the sidewalk where she could walk. This was around 8 am this morning. WE all need to be a lot more like this man. Cheers to him!
Arrogant Windsorite Shopper
I was at Nine West Shoe Studio this afternoon and I had an extremely bad experience. Not with the staff, but with another customer in front of me. I was so disgusted in this Windsorite that I am almost embarrassed to share this story, but I think that it is an important story to share about kindness and ethics. This woman was doing a return in front of me and the employees working, who were two bright young women, were kindly explaining their company's return policy. Well obviously this did not satisfy this woman. I almost regret not saying anything to her at the time, but as a bystander I didn't know how to react because I've never witness anything like this. This woman proceeded to tell the employees how shit they were at their job and that their personalities were so awful they should not be in retail. She then went on about how she was going to call head office and have smarter people deal with this situation. The employees explained that they were simply following a policy and it was really nothing to do with their personalities. To top it all off, the woman brags about how she know "so many people" in this city and that they shouldn't think they are "too safe" here and that she was going to bad mouth to everyone about them. So she basically threatened them. She left the store screaming how it was bullshit she couldn't return her pair of boots. I'll also inform that they did offer an exchange or credit to their store which is their policy. I just can't believe people have the guts to be so rude to strangers when they don't have things go their way. You have to remember in retail, these people are just working for bigger corporations and never ever deserve any put downs from bullies in our communities. Be kind to people who are working to help your life be better in any way, even if it's just by buying a pair of shoes.
