to be fair I haven't been out today so I haven't really done any today

tho I did research something on the internet for my mom and I am caring for my landlords pets for the next four days....

I give copious amounts of $ to random homeless/hardluck folks sometimes.  I guess that's random and good enough right?  :D

yes it is... I do that too... but I'm totally random about the frequency of occurrence and the amount I give  ;)

I just gave saver karma.  :o

I don't do much randomly, but when I was working in Greensboro, I would give something to the RHMotD (random homeless man of the day) standing at the intersection of 68 and I-40. Not much: a piece of chicken (Bojangles is right there too), spare change, a Sharpie marker, whatever.

I give money to a gospel mission in our area and sometimes I go down there and talk to the people

I'm so disappointed in you.... there's a line for everything and you just crossed it  :P

I cross a lot of lines - which one brings the disappointment?

If it's saver line, I don't want to bag on the guy too much, even though it's really tempting at times. Everyone deserves kindness, except for Charles Manson, who should be fed feet first into an industrial-sized wood chipper with dull blades.

you found the line and I started off nice but have had my fill... the welcome has worn thin and I'm prepared to suggest similar treatment for him.  ;)

I carried a box of books down the street for a strange woman today (she appeared to be struggling with the weight). Ended up taking it right to her office building for her (which was two blocks past mine). Damn...that box got heavy...and it was supposed to be LIGHT reading!

A funny story: in a random act of kindness, when we were going through the Starbucks drive-thru last year, the car ahead of us paid for our small coffee and scone, so the barrista asked if we wanted to "pay it forward" and pay for the car behind us.  We said yeah, but as it turned out, it was three times the amount that we had originally ordered, so had we just paid for what we ordered in the first place, it wouldn't have been so 'painful'. 

I was at the library and the young girl ahead of me didn't have money to pay her fine so she couldn't check out books.  I paid it for her.

I guess sometimes those random acts can just sort of slap you in the face.... but hopefully the angels of karma were looking out for you and something else good happened. 

and btw shame on that starbucks person... they should have been aware of the difference and just asked you if you'd like to contribute your payment to the car behind not pick up the whole dang tab...  >:(

No random acts of kindness today, but yesterday I refrained from pushing a really annoying person into the Chicago River.  That counts, right?

Wait, I take that back.  Today I let all the kids at the Jewish Day School pet the dog.  He hated me, but the kids loved it.

They wouldn't have died....unless I timed it so they hit a boat.  Not that I'm plotting it or anything.....*cough*

Not too sure if this counts:

One of Big Nasty's Soldiers was supposed to deploy when he did, however something held her back. She had already cleared the barracks, so she stayed with a friend for a week. Well, that friend has since moved out of state, and so said Soldier is now staying at my place.

Hey! Gives me company and gives her a place to semi-live. 8)

some lady was coughing a lot in the waiting room at the doctor's office...so I have her a piece of gum. :D

if someone were so inclined to perform a RAK for me....they could take about 18 metal skewers, place them on the fire and then shove them in my eyes one skewer at a time until I can finally erase what has been seen  ;D

I dunno that you would necessarily want to switch into THIS body.  My life is... to put it gently, a cross between chaos and sheer dullness.  Plus I have two pissing cats whose current hobby is peeing everywhere in my house  (but the litter boxes)  ::) and a t.v. that constantly whines (with no money to replace it).  Calgon take me away.    Plus, I don't know if you know it, but I'm married.  ;)  ;D

ouch... why would I hate that? I love Patty I think she is freaking AWESOME and would love to be her for a day....cuz I would take that day to tell a shyt load of people off... see Patty that would be my RAK for you... helping you assert yourself.... you might have some enemies when the dust clears but you'll feel a lot better!  ;D

lol Yeah the therapist that hubby and I have been seeing for a little while says I need to work on being assertive as well.  Only problem is it feels awful when I try it.  Plus I'm much better at being a door mat, I think I'm better liked that way anyway.  lol  I lost an important friendship because of being assertive, so I don't really see the benefit of doing it. 

But anyway, any time that you want to experience the greatness that is my life, I can loan you a peeing cat or two.  :P ;) ;D

almost a case of soda fell out of a customers wagon so I helped him put it back and in turn he thanked me for helping him.  :)

Some great examples here folks and a cool thread, Snozberries.  8)

I gave pairs of jeans to a friend of mine which matched his size and I gave my friend a load of Xbox 360 games to start her collection off. :)

What is amazing is how people react to random acts of kindness. Sometimes with suspicion ('Surely s/he wants something in return' . . .) or even with complete bewilderment because they don't expect it. I have had to physically restrain people from giving me money because it went against my intentions, lol.

I just gave Bobby karma. :)

today I met friends who came up to SB for the weekend. I hate, HATE this city on holidays because all we have are tourists and all the roads get shut down... you have to drive for 30 minutes to find parking then walk a mile to get where you want to go but she's a good friend so I did it...

then we walked past this street fair and there  was guy who creates jewelry out of glass. the stuff is pretty amazing and I told him so. I oohed and awed over his work and asked him about the process. He was very proud that I liked his stuff. I plan on buying some for people... hope my secret santa is a girl  ;D  actually I'm gonna get some for my aunts and my mom and a cousin...so even tho I didn't buy today I promised him I would later and I meant it.

Yesterday, I held the door open for an older woman using a walker as well as the two others who she was with. She said that I was best looking door man she had seen. They all thanked me which I didn't think was necessary.

I gave an elderly woman a wagon without her doing it herself.  :)

Ha ha! Sounds like a mental illness.  ;D

I cleaned out a wagon for a woman who needed the wagon. :)

And Howard continues to consider his job duties a Random Act of Kindness! EXCELLENT!  ;D

I:
Got an ambulance to a person who was ill
Sent the police to quiet people who were being real loud and disturbed the peace of others.
Called for a locksmith when someone was locked out of their residence
Made a phone call on behalf of a co-worker
Gave cake to two of our student employees
Gave a citizen directions when they got lost
Explained to a person how to fight a ticket.


;D   

I washed my husband's laundry, does that qualify as a random act of kindness?  No, I did not beat it against a rock in a stream, but I did go down our treacherous basement steps with a full heavy basket.  I must go down there again soon to switch it to the dryer and start a load of my clothes.

I guess that is just my job too.  lol  :P

Its not really your job. He is capable of doing the laundry himself right...  so yeah....it counts as a RAK...if I ever did someone else's laundry you should know I would totally count it as a RAK but the potential of me touching someone else's dirty laundry  8-P is zilch to none  :D

I quit the wheel of the tug this morning at 7:00 A.M.. Then instead of having a rest I sat before my car's wheel and give a lift to my children and  wife to spend a while on the beach till the sun went down.

The last thing I wanted the first was being a taxi driver, but when you love you yield to play the field.

I suppose that is a random act of kindness...I'm glad to make it endless  ;)

I also do housework, miss Pat, and I don't think I'm doing a random act of kindness, therefore neither do you.
;)

Nevertheless, I think everyone on board the wagon can & should help to carry on.
Maybe you should yield to your husband the honour of coming up and down the steps. ;)

They don't understand someone else could be in  hurry, and you have to go through hell to move as they rest.

Not sure...but I'm guessing he means:

On commenting about you giving directions to someone lost... (perhaps)

On one hand, tourists are a plague that native citizens (who live there) have to put up with (if they want the money that comes with hosting strangers in their "backyard".  He should know, Spain has lots of tourists.

yeah that's probably how it came up in whatever translation program he uses.  I'm sure that when I use babel fish to translate, it does a very shoddy job.  I remember when dizzy was trying to come up with her new name and I suggested the Portuguese word for dancer (via babel fish), unfortunately I did not know that Portuguese (like french) has gender specific words, so I unintentionally suggested she use the male word for dancer (which she so obviously isn't...a male, that is)  ;D

Sorry Q, Sometimes I think I explain myself properly but.....it turns wrong  >:(

For abogirine I simply meant native of the place.

When tourists are on vacation they think nobody's in a hurry.
Everywhere is jam-packed , so you move slower your lorry.
You need way too much time to get at work
and way too much time to go home
so you have to wake up earlier then before.

more time to park your car you need
and you're happy when you achieve it
without a fine on  the windshield
and being fed up in the wheel
if you get help up on a traffic jamp,
more time staying in line to watch a film
or waiting at the counter to buy an ice-cream,
so less time to enjoy your free time.


You have to pay more money, time and  attention
if you want to survive in this hive that
it becomes a city in summertime with tourists on vacation.

I don't mind tourists all around.

bookmistress4ever you're right

I welcome everyone  I run into. I've been a traveller for a long long time, time ago, so I do know how it feels being in a different land.

Thanks paco. You explained that very well.
Santa barbara is full of tourists this time of year too
It took me a long time to get home yesterday

I put away the crates where they hold many cases of water in back of the store,Then I swept up.

This morning walking into the building at work, I had a box full of clothes for a drive they were having, a bottle of water, my handbag and a Zone bar (in the wrapper) between my teeth, and the guard saw me and did the automatic door open...that made me feel so special... :)

okay tribbles hasn't been around since Feb... I have to be careful.... but there is a position for a new chief. we have five candidates and got to meet with one every day since last tuesday. I missed the one on Wednesday because of a previous engagement  ;)
Last one went today... she wasn't very dynamic speaking in circles and in vague generalities.

she's my current supervisor (well one above my direct supervisor) so I couldn't yawn, look bored or confused. I was hoping she'd do well but i just kept smiling because I didn't want to make her self conscious.

Today we took the 3 guys that we support to a local amusement park. I was on the train with one of the guys, and when the ride was over..he was having a hard time stepping down into his wheelchair. The family that had been sitting near us helped him down and the husband went and brought his wheelchair over for him to sit in. That made me smile. :)

So this was at work was it?



Yes it was.There was only 1 more big crate of water(s) left.

That's very nice of you.

so today two girls walked in to the station and handed me a wallet they'd found containing $107.... how cool is that?

Not strangling anyone this weekend-I think that counts.

Or you caused more work requiring someone to clean up after you.  ;)

I helped a classmate with her paper when I found out what she was writing on racial roles in films of the 1930s I remembered a scene from the original imitation of Life that illustrates her point beautifully!

Also when she made a point in class the TA told me she broke the book down perfectly. I know she was reaching so I made a point to pass his comment on. She seemed pleased and proud she did well!

Why? After a long day at work,I'm sure somebody wants something to read.  ;)

I was nice to one of the ladies I work with. She brought in a cake (for her birthday) and she had two pieces left over at the end of the day. Well...I helped her out and ate them both ...so she did not have to waste them.  I should get some knid of award for this..... ;)

When we were up in the Smoky Mountains, the car we were driving started overheating from the steep climb, and as soon as my Dad put the hood up on the car to take a look, a guy came over with a milk jug full of water and told us to take it if we needed it. Given the fact that there was nowhere else to get that much water, we thought he was a life saver! Then he proceeded to pour out the water out of his drinking bottle for us to take too, so I thought it was really nice that he was so helpful to someone he didn't even know.

Karma to Water Guy, wherever you may be now.... :D

Yes Gibbo, in deed you deserve

The great greedy award never granted anyone


and a helpful belly  to help  worried ladies to store whatever they want  :P

By the way, I would've done the same dude for a lady
if she'd come to me as a nice bit of crumpet   8)

and he thought  as you sow, so shall you reap

Have you ever come back to the steepy Smoky Mountains'  hillsides without your daddy hein   :D?
Maybe Waterguy is still spinning around with whiskey and rye  ;)

Howard decided to forgo his RAK today in favor of making gross posts... thanks howard  ::)

Speaking for Myself.......If I'm in a bathroom....and there's an "Adult" magazine ...........
I am NOT reading the "articles".....Or looking at the "pictorials".......
I aint touchin' the filthy mother............. 8-P  :o  8-P  :o
It's in the BATHROOM...............
I don't even want to think about why it's in there...in the first place !!!!

^Now here's a smart guy-if it's left in a bathroom, chances are it wasn't just read for the articles!  8-P

Continuing with the off-topic-topic. My step-father's step-son (I know, I know that sounds very weird. My mother was my step-father's 3rd wife, and this was his step-son from his 2nd marriage and stayed with my step-father after his mother died. So that made him my step-step-brother.  ;) :D :D)  Ok, now that I explained that, let me start again, My mother & step-father found some Playboy magazines in my step-step brother's room. His response was "They have good articles". The only problem with that article was the fact that my step-step-brother couldn't read. (He had a lot of developmental issues-which is a politically correct way to say it.  ;) )



Cat

Great story..........
I don't begrudge the kid His magazine {although...I think they mess with People's heads....Your average{ie:real} Woman doesn't look like that...So,try as He may...the poor Guy will look past "real" Women thinking He should find the "perfect" one......And some {only some, mind You...}Women...think that's how they're supposed to look....}
I just wouldn't pick up a "used" copy.... :o  :D... ::)

Nope....I will read a free newspaper almost anywhere (men's rooms excepted)

The other day I was at the supermarket. I was checking my items out, and an older gentleman behind me says, "could you use this?"....he handed me a $10 gift certificate for the store. I thought that was so nice of him! :)

I drove my nephew around town. He saw our bioparc,  

http://www.bioparcvalencia.es/cas/
where wildlife is around, and visitors can see from apes to birds.

Only one we couldn't see in that park.
So I drove my little offspring penguin into train station



to have a beer and a soft drink for the kid  along with penguin the nestor.  :)

I couldn't stand looking at a filthy break room so what I did before my shift started at 12pm was sweep the floor,clean the gray table and the top of the microwave.Hope they appreciate it since it's not really my job,the stupid maintainence guy is hardly around and he hardly comes when his name is announced on the loudspeaker. ::)

It's his nephew howard.



Paco's nephew is named Howard?  :o  ;)

Cool picture Paco.  :-)

I helped some tourist get around our city yesterday late afternoon. They were lost ( looking at maps..pointing in different directions..you know what I'm talking about)
I provided them written instructions as to where to go and what to see. They were thankful.

When some people ask me for directions and I become the human road map.

Someone found my keys and turned them in to custodian at the beach... I'm just glad I saw the custodian and asked him about my keys!

We gave an elderly man that was hitchiking a ride (about 2 miles or so).  It was really hot.  All went well except he asked how we felt about the 3 young woman that recently got shot at a local exercise gym place.  One of my hubby's friends went to church with all three woman (in their 30s and 40s) so he was rather upset.  We made polite small talk until we dropped the guy off where he wanted to go.  But it was a little creepy.  lol  He asked us if we used Tide (laundry detergent) and I said yes (if it's on sale).  He gave me a coupon for 40 cents off of a box of Tide.  So it was a weird day.

I put away all the chairs at Church today ( over 100)

If Howard were my nephew, it would be him who rised me up..... as I hold the beer in my right hand.  :D




If I sneak myslef some day into the Big Apple,
I will get me a chartman to avoid the scramble
though I know with him I risk to lose my marbles
I will let him to bring me a  Random Acts of Kindness  ;)

One for Howie, slam for Gibbo  :P

It's his nephew howard.

when that penguin quit the ice
He found a nectar beyond price
he quickly grew a bird  fat and wise
teaching Kids and daddies his  delight.

I go and see him whenever I can, just as Cat said : to feel that God loves us, and I've known and swallow the prove.

So I raise my glass neither the first nor last
come join me in this toast ;D

that would be in another thread.  ;)


But she likes being smite so it also counts as a random act of kindness.

So,that would be a good kind of bad.

I let some woman use my phone to call her phone to see if she could figure out where she lost it....her mom had it.

I also saved a place in line for two of my friends yesterday. They were in front of the line with me but because of bad hips and knees they couldn't stand anymore so I saved their place for an hour and a half while they sat in the car. 

and I told Karin Dicker about the Imitation of Life Event. She had no idea and would have missed it if not for me....considering she was a supporting actress in a key role in the pic I think its good she was there.  :)

I helped scrape (with sandpaper) all the railings outside our Church today, as well as vacuum a whole bunch of stuff. Getting ready for the pre-school kids to come in a few weeks.
