Kindness!

While leaving my SUV to enter Tops in Avon on March 3rd, a young man was coming out with a large bouquet of flowers. I said, “Oh, flowers for me? You shouldn’t have.” We both laughed and went on our ways. When I came out, my daughter (who had waited in the car) had a bouquet of flowers on her lap. She said the man came over, said he was a Christian, and God wanted him to give the flowers to me and he would go back in and get more for his wife. My daughter said thank you and my mom will cry, which I did. What he did not know was that our family had a very difficult week. I will think of his kindness each time I look at these flowers and when the time is right will do the same for someone else. They say bad people are taking over our world, but I continue to believe that the good ones are all over; we just don’t hear as much about them. Many thanks to this kind man.

HONESTY & KINDNESS OF LIVING IN SMALL TOWN!

I can't express my gratitude and thanks enough to the volunteers and the two Amish women who spent 2 hours in the freezing cold February 25th helping me look for the money i dropped in the parking lot of the Church Thrift shop in Livonia. Your assistance and kindness will not be forgotten. It meant more than you will ever know.

A Huge Thank You

To the individual(s) who paid for our dinner on January 19th at the Finger Lakes Public House. Our family had just come from my niece’s mother’s funeral. We just want you to know, from the bottom of our hearts, that your thoughtfulness did not go unnoticed. We want to say a huge thank you, and to let everyone know that there are still wonderful and caring individuals out there.

Technically Handicapped

My rant is to open the eyes of the masses to the technically handicapped. I am one of them. At 68 years of age I fall in the gap of no major training of computers, smart phones, etc. I am also on a fixed income and can’t afford all the gadgets nor the price of the Internet. When I need help for things that have to be done online. I have to hire someone to do so. Every shop, restaurant, government, and medical office has some form, deal or discount that is only online. Having no cell phone, computer to access these deals, or forms, etc. Life for myself with technology is extremely frustrating! I only ask that businesses and the government, etc. stop discriminating against my handicap as they do for the physically handicapped, waiting just a while longer until demanding things be only assessed online until every generation is technically taught at a young age. Yes, I have taken classes available at libraries. I also do not want a government issued phone. Do others agree?

LIFE'S SHORT - WHY WASTE IT CRITICIZING OTHERS?

Life is short. Why do people aleays have to criticize each other for choices they make? We each only have one life to live. Just because someone does things differently than you would doesn't mean you should chastise them for it!

ICE AND SNOW, TAKE IT SLOW

When we get a snowstorm in Western NY, why do people all of a sudden become race car drivers who cut each other off and make people slam on their brakes, maneuvering precariously in the icy snow?! Ice and snow, take it slow.

PAW’S CORNER

Pet Sitting Can Be More an a Side Job

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I was recently laid o from my job as a programmer, and have been thinking about taking a new career direction. I’m tired of being stuck in an o ce all day. And I love being around pets. But is it really possible to make a good living working as a dog walker or a pet sitter? -- Barry J., Cambridge, Massachusetts

DEAR BARRY: I know more than a few people who are full-time pet sitters and dog walkers. Most have their own business, while a few are employees of pet care companies. As you can imagine, the pay rates vary widely from person to person. ZipRecruiter reports that the average hourly wage, nationally, for pet sitters is about $19.23.

I think it’s great that you’re considering a career change. But I recommend testing out the world of pet sitting rst. Consider working part time for a pet-sitting company. Even better, if you know someone who does dog walking, ask to accompany them for one day to see what their job entails. Find out what the pitfalls of this business may be, and what makes it fun to do. Finally, o er to pet sit for a friend who’s going out of town for a day or two to get direct experience and really see if it’s something that you’d like to do full time.

Next, visit the Small Business Administration’s website (www. sba.gov) and check out its Learning Center section, which has several micro-courses that teach how to start up and run a small business. Being able to combine core business skills with a love for and dedication to pets is a great platform to start on. Best of luck.

The symbol for division (÷) has a name, and it is called an obelus.

Four = 4

‘Four’ is the only number in the English language with the same number of letters as the number itself.

100 is 120
