Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings all around the world
I honestly could have hugged you! You were at the Walmart on Tecumseh at around 1:30pm. You were walking by me and you stopped to tell me how nice my hair looked! I know it may not be much to a lot of people, but to me it meant a lot! I've been being hard on myself lately and I really needed to hear that! You are so kind. It's nice to have a stranger tell you something like that. In a world where everyone is in competition with everyone else, I was a little surprised! You were just so sweet and it was so nice of you! Thank you for picking me up today and giving me a little bit of confidence. You're an angel!
Thank you thank you thank you!!
From the red head girl at walmart
Thank you to the lady in the white SUV at Lauzon Pkwy and Tecumseh today for letting us know our tailgate came down and a box fell out of our truck! We were lucky and the box, although in the intersection, was fine, but the most important thing is that had you not told us at that moment a small tattered box of screws would have fallen into the road and undoubtedly ruined a lot of people's tires! Thanks for speaking up! Happy New Year! From the people in the big blue truck!
Just wanted to thank the kind person who found my daughters cell phone in the parking lot and turned it into the bar at John Max Sports. A valuable lesson of not putting her cell phone in her jean pocket and instead putting it in her purse was learned. Again thank you and Happy New Year
To the kind gentleman at Rexall on Huron Church at about 2:40 pm on Dec 31st: Thank you so much for the $10 coupon! Just wanted to let you know I really appreciated your kind gesture. I followed your lead and passed my coupon on to someone else. Thanks again, and all the best for a wonderful 2017!!!
Every Christmas my family plays a Kris Kringle game where each of us spend $40.00 on a gift. This year I received McDonalds gift cards (it came with 4 cards attached to each other each with $10.00 on them). Mind you.. I thought this was weird that all 4 cards were attached to each other since I worked retail and know that each card should be scanned in order to activate them, but I went on with my night thinking if something was wrong with them I have the receipt and everything should be okay.The person who bought them found it odd how the employee was trying to activate them and double checked with him to see if they were okay. He assured her everything was okay and the cards were active. I went to go use 2 of the cards at a McDonalds and the cards were never activated. I was told to go back to the Walmart they were purchased at to get them activated which was the Walmart on Dougall Avenue. Yesterday I decided to wait 30 minutes at the Customer Service desk only for the employee to look at me like I was some sort of criminal when I asked her to activate my cards. She didn't really know what to do so she called for a Manager. The manager then asked for the package the cards came in. I advised her I did not receive a package, the cards were just stuck together which I found VERY odd and were wrapped in a christmas box with the receipt.The manager then told me that there is nothing they can do and to call the 1-866 number on the back of the cards. I call the 1-866 number only for them to tell me the cards were never activated and I need to go back to the Walmart to have them activate the cards since they were purchased there (common sense), but they gave me a McDonalds hotline number to call. I call the hotline number and they told me the same thing and directed me with a Walmart number to call. I call the THIRD number and they told me to send an email with pictures of the receipt, pictures of the back of the cards as well as the store number and a whole bunch of other crap and HOPEFULLY I would be able to go back to the Walmart once again to get them activated. Thankfully the person who purchased the cards knows the manager at the Walmart in Amherstburg and he is willing to activate the cards even though they were not purchased there. He will also be putting in a complaint about the Dougall Walmart. This really frustrated me because the Dougall Manager I spoke to should have at least called the 1-866 number on the cards to see for herself if they were ever activated to avoid this whole fiasco. The reason I am writing this is to warn people because I truly hope this does not happen to someone else. Please make sure when you purchase gift cards that EACH ONE is scanned through to be activated. I know they say to keep the receipt, but in this case does it even matter because I had the receipt and they still refused to activate the cards. Please be careful.
Lost on Dec 27th at or near Piccolo's restaurant on the west end, a birthday card with lottery tickets and a gift card.
If anyone found this, we would really appreciate it if you could call Jerry

Bag of Gem Stones
I found a small bag with several types of gem stones in it. Shoppers Drug Mart parking lot, there are two names on bag. Tell me the names and I will gladly return them to you.
My 16 year old son went to Adventure Bay today for a little fun with a friend. Upon entering and paying admission, he went into the change room and changed and placed his clothing, bag, iPhone & wallet into a locker and secured it with a Dudley lock that he brought from home. After being there for 1 hour, he decided he wanted something to eat and went to his locker where he found that the lock had been CUT OFF with BOLT CUTTERS and was laying on the floor!!! His iPhone and wallet containing $13 and his student card were gone!! He contacted me and I immediately drove down there only to discover that his lock was not the only one that had been cut, but another had been as well! Adventure Bay did not contact the police when my son told them what had happened, but advised me that I was to go home and file a report with the police myself. The thing that bothers me the most is that someone may have been in the change room watching my son put his stuff in the locker, otherwise why cut that particular lock.
SCARY situation....the police have informed me that this is not the first time that this has happened there either!! My son is feeling so guilty, like it was his fault that the lock was cut off! I have told him there was nothing that he could have done, some people just don't care about other peoples things! The Manger wanted to offer me free passes, but I told her that we will never be returning and that I was reluctant to let him go in the first place!!
It's a sad state of affairs when someone steals from a kid....UNFORGIVABLE!
