| Daffodils at the grocery store |
Welcome to the Ides of March, the date Julius Caesar was assassinated.
Daughter L was on the train downtown last week when she reported that a man of about 30 - 35 years of age started screaming on her train 'can someone please help me, I just need $62, I just came out of hospital you know, why won't anyone help me'. He had his hands in his pockets which made the situation even more scary. Eventually he moved on to another train where security apprehended him. I felt compassion for this mentally ill man, that he was not getting the mental support he needed. Happily daughter made it to her destination safely.

Oh wow! That is scary. Thank goodness she made it home safely.
My granddaughter’s school had a lock down today. It sends a chill up your spine.
Scary and sad - but the daffodils made the post a HAPPY one!
My dark humor self would have not been good in that situation. My smart butt would of been like "so is 61 too little and 63 too much?"
That was really scary. Lovely daffodils! Hugs, Valerie
Thankfully no one was harmed.
Hopefully the man is being helped.
Gratefully your daughter is fine.
Lovely photo 💐
Hugs 💕
that is scary, I experienced an incident similar to that and it shook me up as well, I feel for the people inflicted with diseases of the mind,, no easy answers at all. I love daffodils, aren't they just what we need to brighten these gloomy days!
So sad and scary, Christine. I am glad your daughter was safe.
There are such people everywhere.
We had something similar happen on the subway the last two times we were in NY. We fell for it the first time and knew when the woman started the same spiel the second time it was a scam. She said she needed money for herself and her son to get somewhere(I forget where)and our group gave her some money. Then several months later the same thing happened with the same woman. She took off quickly when I wanted to take her picture.
You just never know if people are being serious or not. I met a guy in a parking lot asking for money because he was stranded with a bad engine and was without the means to call a tow truck. Turns out he was a scammer, it wasn't even his car. The security guards actually knew him and called the cops on him.
But glad your daughter was safe. It can be scary when people are ill and likely scared too.
Pretty scary. I traveled TTC for many years and only had one difficult incident.
this was actually a Go Train Jenn.
That's scary!
Beautiful daffodils.
wow glad she was safe - seems like a lot of people are losing it these days, sad! i love those daffodils.
That is scary and what is the worst part is that you can't trust anyone. He might have just needed a little help but on the other hand he could have been someone acting like that. So bad that in todays world we can't trust.
The train incident sounds scary. Like Pam (above) says, you really don't know if he might have reached bottom and really needed the money or if he had something bad planned. I don't think everyone who acts mentally ill is mentally ill.
That sounds scary ... glad your daughter was ok.
Those daffodils are just so lovely, what a cheerful colour.
All the best Jan
Glad your daughter was safe.
