Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings all around the world
Found both these pups in Southwood Trails near North Talbot. Please contact me if you know who they belong too. They are safe in a fenced yard for now. Need to find owners soon.
Hello! I just wanted to give a shout-out to the gentleman who was ahead of me in the Tim Horton's drive-thru line (off Central), around noon on Friday, June 3rd. Thank you so much for paying for my order! I was getting some much needed caffeine to get my co-worker and I through the remainder of our hectic day. Your message was to have a good day and I just wanted to let you know that you made two people's day! Thank you so much! I will definitely pay it forward :)

I wanted to talk about my experience on June 2nd at Red Lobster. I had the most amazing waitress, Lois. She was so sweet, to the point where every couple of minutes, she made sure everything was going the way it was. After we finished and the bill came, on the back of the receipt she wrote, "what a beautiful family you have." After paying, she sat down on our table and began asking questions about Islam and Ramadan. She was surprised at what our religion served and the good that comes with it. As we walked out, she told us to come visit her again.
On Wednesday morning around 11:00am I had to rush my dog to the veterinarian's in Belle River because I knew he was dying. When I got there I knew there was no way I would be able to carry him in since I was hysterical and he weighed over 70lbs and could not move. A man was walking by after leaving Tim Hortons and I asked him to help me. He gave his food to my mom and carried my dog in and then stayed with me and tried his best to comfort me and reassure me that everything was going to be ok. I need to find him to thank him in person for helping me through what was a horrible experience. Again, this was Wednesday, June 1st around 11:00am at the vet in Belle River. He was wearing an orange safety shirt with yellow stripes that had the sleeves cut off, he had tattoos and I'm pretty sure he was bald. If anyone happens to know him or if by chance he reads this...could someone please respond to this post!!
I was in an accident today. A deer ran in front of my car and despite my efforts to try to spare the deer, I was unsuccessful. Not only did the deer hit my car but the officer on scene was required to euthanize this poor animal. My heart aches. I was very distraught and there were a number of people who stopped to help. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the man who stopped, the young lady who made some phone calls and the woman and her mother who provided comfort. You are all good Samaritans and I will forever be grateful for your assistance and support. My heart is just broken but you helped me more than you can imagine. You are all amazing people.
Tuesday night I went to the Tim Hortons on Ottawa street for a quick 5 minute break from biking and to have a coffee. I noticed you and possibly your son ride up and set your bikes beside mine while you went inside to order you and him some Tim bits. As you were outside before departing back down Ottawa, we made eye contact and smiled at each other. Maybe 5 minutes after you left, I hopped back on my bike and went back down the way I came. There you were both, sitting on a bus stop eating your Tim bits and as I passed we both made eye contact again, smiled and nodded to each other.
I then stopped maybe a block away to speak with a friend who was waiting for the bus, and you then came across the street to the side I was and passed by again, slowly.....after my friends bus came I continued down the road but didn't see you.
Even the shy person I am, I was going to stop and make a joke about us playing leap frog with our bikes, constantly passing each other. But to my luck, I didn't see you once I turned off of Ottawa.
Not sure if it was a friendly smile or a flirtatious smile. (I'm always too oblivious for this stuff).
I'm just hoping you see this and maybe we can meet up for coffee or a bike ride if you are interested. Just so I know if you do see this, reply with the colour and type of bike I was on and maybe we can meet up for coffee and/ or a bike ride. :)

Unfortunately I had to spend a great part of my night last night on the ER Ouellette Campus, obviously was very busy. There was many people and amongs them I noticed a mother with a child that had an injury to his head. After siting there for the longest time the young boy asked his mom for chips, she got up to get them from the vending machines, however, she put her money in and the chips got stuck, she started to hit the machine hoping the chips would fall with no luck, the security guard heard the noise came to check out what was going on and rudely told her not to hit (his) machine, she explained what happened, he in return said was going to get someone to look into it. Went to sit back at his desk and no one ever showed up. There was a young lady there, that like myself seen the incident, after a while of waiting, and no one ever showing up to help, this young lady got up, went to the vending machine and got another bag of chips and went towards the lady , that was holding her son as he had fallen asleep by then, had a few words wiith her and gave her the chips. In this world we need more people like that. If anyone knows who she is, please tell her she been spotted , what a nice gesture.
I just got back from an amazing two week baltic and Russian cruise and took about 2,000 beautiful pictures on my camera. I am devastated because I lost the camera card with all the pictures last Wednesday. The card was in a side pocket in my purse and fell out. The only places i went to were the Canadian tire and dollarama on walker rd. I was in the garden center. Also went to maidstone tree nursery on#3 highway. The card was wrapped up in a piece of white bond paper in small squares. I went to c.t. last Friday and back tracked my steps, talked to the cashiers and the lost and found desk. I really believe I lost it there as I put my purse down on the top rack of the plant cart and can see how it would have fallen out. I know that this is a shot in the dark but I have to try. I called dollarama and the nursery but no luck. Please help me find my camera card. Thanks
