Hamilton Indigenous Housing

Yes I know what you’re thinking. What is the author referring to. Well Folks!  Yesterday as I was about to leave the building guess who was standing outside at the entrance way?   It was Ingrid Nosel fumbling with her keys, she looked miserable as always and totally 'out of it'.   I waited a second then I decided to open the door to leave, I didn't say a word then walked by her to check my mail. Since she likes issuing N-5 notices to tenants I’m giving her a new Indian name “N-5”. So if you see her waddling down the street due to her thighs rubbing together just point and say “There goes N-5”. :D A new tenant came up with a great idea, a food box to share with other tenants any items that are not used are put in the box so other tenants can help themselves.   It’s like a tenant food share program. I’ve donated many items and I hope this catches on. I can already see since Jan Porter quit her job things are not done efficiently around here. The front entrance win...

Hey bloggers I just received a phone call from my sister Leanne, our aunt Emily (my mom’s sister) has passed away.   Gosh!   The last time I saw her was last year at my niece Jennifer King’s Christmas family gathering.   Aunt Emily was sharp as a pencil and the oldest in the King family, 86 yrs. I adored her, one time she said I reminded her of brother Sherwood King. Details of a memorial service for Emily King-Daigneault are sketchy at this time, my sister Leanne said it will be held at the St. Catherines Ontario Native Centre. She’ll keep me updated as more information comes in and I'll post it here RIP Aunt Emily  :(

Today tenants received a note under the door informing us of her resignation. Boy! I never saw this coming I was sure she’d be here until the building crumbles.   Like I said in a previous post she’s a good maintenance worker but unfortunately she doesn’t communicate well with others. She’d be perfect getting a job in the private sector and running a warehouse by herself   I remember one time before I moved here I was walking along King William, she was putting out the trash when an elderly person across the street fell on the ground, she ran right over to assist the poor woman. That act of kindness is something I would have done. Come to think of it that was my intention when Holy Moses fell in the laundry room and Ingrid Nosel got all pissy about it at the Christmas luncheon and called the cops.   The Super had her own unit at the top floor of this building but never interacted with us after working hours. She kept to herself and did her own thing, she was a loner...
