Some Random Acts of Kindness (chosen at random)

I'm bringing the Random Acts of Kindness thread back up to the top.  Anyone want to join me in committing to do one of these week?  More ideas can be found by googling Random Acts of Kindness.


  • Bake cookies for a neighbor or teacher, just because.
  • Help an elderly person with yard work or grocery shopping. Many elderly people have a story or two to tell about their own baby that died many years ago.
  • Visit a nursing home and bring cupcakes. Sit and visit with a few of the residents. You'd be amazed at the loving reception you will receive as many residents rarely receive visitors.
  • Donate to your favorite nonprofit group on your child's birthday.
  • Volunteer your time at a local homeless shelter or a crisis nursery.
  • Donate some grief books to the library or a local support group.
  • Leave an extra large tip for your food server!
  • Buy the meal for the person behind you at the fast food drive through.
  • Leave a bouquet of flowers on someone’s front door step.
  • Bake goodies and take them to the police station, fire station, or hospital.
  • Pay a local teen to mow an elderly neighbor’s yard.
  • Crochet a baby’s blanket and take it to the hospital nursery. Premature babies can always use tiny booties and caps.
  • Buy a balloon bouquet and ask the nurses the children’s hospital to deliver them to a child.

  • I think it's just random

    Most of mine are pretty good about covering things up.  One of my older ones doesn't like to and never really has.  He did a job one morning that made my eyes water - even with the boxes in the utility room it was odiferous.  He finished and then RACED  out of the box and tore into the other part of the house. It was like he was making his own eyes water, too!!!


    I have others who scratch all around at the sides of the box, outside the box, etc.,but they never really managed to scratch INSIDE the box to cover up the poo.  Go figure.


    My oldest, who is 19 this year, doesn't even use the box for that any more.  She does it right in front of it.  I've had this happen with another older one, too.  It's like when they get to that age something about being in the litter and straining doesn't go well together.


     


    I don't think it's random, it might be part of the flu!
    At least the same thing happened to my niece 2 weeks ago as she was coming down with the flu. She was in the bathroom, apparently just stood up and fell at the sink. My sister was blow drying her hair and didn't hear her go down, and just found her unconscious!
    It's so random for me which ones fit/look good and not...sm
    Like anyone else, I have some body parts that make me NOT a perfect size anything. I've had some super cheap clothes that fit phenomenally well, and I've tried uber-expensive clothes that were unflattering/binding/ and all-around ill fitting. Sometimes you just get lucky in the cut of something.
    I've spent $35 on a JCrew tank top that bagged out after 2 washings and looked like a rag, and then I found the Mossimo brand tank tops at Target for $6.99 that fit me like a darn glove. It's all trial and error.
    These kids are doing it to random people
    Big jerks!!! Did they get caught?  I certainly hope so...
    No; the burp comment was random.
    I can't believe somebody came on here to lecture us on proper horse terminology and then bragged about her wealth as if we were to bow to her "superiority." She actually gave us a scolding. What a way to drop in for a visit!
    A random musing about men vs. women

    Do you think men are less comfy being home alone than women? Not single men who already live alone.


    I definitely think so. Maybe it's because they don't have the comfort of housework to keep them busy and entertained.


    Totally serious. A box of Tide in a random drawing when I was about 15 and went..sm
    to the store with curlers in my hair. What was I thinking?  I get embarrassed remembering it.  L-O-N-G time ago.  I am thinking I am perhaps overdue for a win of some sort!
    Well, you post with something that is going to --sm
    get your *butt jumped* and then you cry when someone does. judgemental of everything, huh? don't get your halo in a twist. geez.
    your post says *they*...
    Is more than 1 of your children living with this person? Just curious...
    Thank you for your post....sm
    at least YOU seem to understand the concept of what a thyroid problem can do to a person...unlike anon poster below, who has a very closed mind about ANYthing she does not agree with.

    My thyroid problem is quite bad. I HAVE seen an endocrinologist who explained that thyroid disease is an autoimmune disease, where the body attacks certain organs for no reason. I did not do well on synthetic thyroid replacement and switched to a *natural* form. I am currently taking 120 mg daily and that is a lot. The endocrinologist said that my thyroid was barely functioning at all.

    I feel very bad for your brother in law, as I truly understand how he feels. Thank you again for your understanding support for my problem, rather than attacking me with being a food junky, being paranoid, needing a psychiatrist, telling me I am nuts, and to pursue bariatric surgery, which all tends to lower my already low self-esteem. thank you for your courage to post. It is nice to know that SOME people understand.
    was the *duh* in yer post necessary?.....
    #
    better post than your first one *LOL*

    I like what you said there - you have had a GOOD solid thing for 41 years now.......or thereabouts with your husband -


    Doing this to him, even surreptitiously....do you think this is what HE deserves after you having a full life with him?  Do you have a conscience?  Even if you don't see this guy from 900 miles away - YOU'RE STILL CHEATING, you are carrying on a secret relationship in a secret email account behind your husband's back.........


    I ain't judging.........but points upward.........towards G_d.........


    jes' sayin'..............


     


    how did this post above from 1/16/07 end up

    on the top of GAB BOARD?  And silly me, I answered it *LOL* - says Jan 16, 2007....all below this are March of 2007........very bizarre...someone probably trying to invoke conversation(?) 


    very_curious_indeed


    what does this have to do with my post?
    to be adopted already....
    I really liked your post, thanks for that!!!..sm
    I so respect what you said/typed.......thank you :)
    oh that post is NOT *way down below*...sm
    it's right under this post *ROFL*....I'm tired.....
    Cut off from above post: j/k nm

    Post (SM)
    All prayer requests belong on the Prayer Request board. You access it by going to the Gab board first, then clicking the Prayer Request link just above the posts.

    I have not received any emails from you regardnig your post.

    Sorry to post again about this but (sm)

    Divorce is a huge decision - I have been talking to family and friends but this is the only place I can get anonymous opinions from a lot of people, and it is more likely that someone here may have been through something similar.  My husband now is asking me to not go.  But he has already told me just a few nights ago that he was never happy with me, was always disappointed and frustrated with who I am, and that this is probably the reason he hit me a few years ago.  He went nuts a few years ago during a very minor argument (children were not present), and now says that it was probably because of years of frustration.  But now he is once again asking me to stay.  Because my parents are divorced he says that "divorce is the only thing I know" when faced with conflict.  I have been here almost 14 years and he has never been happy with me.  Even when I was young and thin and our house was spotless.  My question is - if he has never been happy with me, and I have always been a source of frustration, why should I stay now and expect things to improve?  We have been to 4 marriage counsellors in the past.  I am scared about leaving and I still do love him deep down, but why continue to stay if I will never be good enough? 


    I should have put LOL after my post
    about the fancy car. My parents and my MIL drive "fancy" cars. I agree that wasn't a nice thing to say.
    Well, here you can post what you think

    Well, here you can post what you think is an awesome idea or might we say lame... (Creativity is the key)


    I'll start with:


    Awesome:
    Water powered cars...


    Lame:
    Really cool stuff that is ridiculously expensive(i.e. PS3)


    Please do post a pic of your pup
    if you haven't already. Hayseed knows how.
    Was this post really necessary?
    Why bother reading a post that doesn't interest you just to post something rude and totally unnecessary? I for one love hearing about the good things in life. It's not just all work, work, work.
    see my post sm
    Would anyone who has used Cymbalta please reply to my post on the Mental Health board. I think this is suitable for "gab" but only one answer on that board. Thanks! BTW, I don't think exhaustion and pain from this profession is all "in our mind." I hope you agree.
    Post her pic?
    //
    I saw that post too
    I'm glad I wasn't the only one confused. This is a gab board and that's what we're doing gabbing about cats and other animals. If he/she isn't interested, just don't read the posts. By the way, I have an all black Halloween cat and the kids get a big kick out of him when them come to the door.
    I think your post is right on
    My hubs and I have separate and I trust him beyond belief, would never know what he made a year except at tax time. I think it is great to have hubs you trust and can take care of things like yours does. Seems like a dream deal to me. I could care less for doing anything when it comes to financial deals but sometimes have to fool with that. If I had a hubs that dealt with everything, I would be more than happy. You are blessed.
    Just saw this post
    Yes, his anal glands were really impacted- the post below this 1 helped me tremendously. Never knew felines got that way. He went to the veterinarian the very day I learned about the possibility of what it could be, the vet expressed the glands and relieved that problem. Yesterday my big boy (20 and a half lbs) went to the groomers to get him all cleaned and smelling good again. One more thing I learned- he is double furred boy and hair was even growing over his anus which had to be shaved. He is quite the handsome guy today!
    100% right and that is my post
    Give varied foods to be served but can you just imagine if 10 or more kids would not eat and demanded certain foods for their own eating? Did not say kids should be forced to eat anything but definitely needs vegetables in their diet. Sit foods on the table, not much fuss and let the child eat and eat good, no junk stuff, no Cokes, no sweetened drinks, no overloading on the chips, cookies and other sweets.
    By the way, there is a second pic in that post above. (nm)
    .
    I just had to post this pic too!
    This is my youngest, Scooter, when we first brought him home 2 years ago. He is MUCH bigger now! LOL!
    Above post is IMO, of course.

    Thanks for your post
    She's actually the one that's hard on herself. If she was in regular classes it wouldn't matter to me. I'll see what happens when she gets home in an hour.
    The post above you was right
    You have said as much by "someone saying to mind your own business." It is her business, not any of yours at all. As far as the thrown away card, once a person is given a present, whether it is a card or whatever it is, it is their property then and the person can toss it, hold onto it or do what they like. She is minding her own business as you should. In your posts you come back time and again about what friends you were, how you emailed every day, you seem really clingy to this person, like you cannot make it another day before you hear from her. Do you have any life of your own?
    your post
    The mare is foaling - NOT having a "baby" thats human and she will either have a colt (male) or a filly (female)

    FYI
    your post
    Sorry Cat, but NO apology is necessary -- the word "foal" was used in the original post, for those who don't know, "give birth" would have been a better term and BTW -- I am the granddaughter of a cattle rancher and have seen my share from BIRTH TO DEATH -- and we are talking 25,000 acres as well thank you VERY much
    your post
    I was the "oldest granchild" on my mom's side of the family and the "eldest of 4 girls" on my dad's side and he was the baby of his family. My paternal grandmother was the head baker for the local hospital and used to make ALL the "Holiday" pies for the docs to take home -- she had a mincemeat receipie to DIE for but when she died, it went with her :(

    My maternal grandparents were great too. Little by little during the depression, they bought land in the Sandhills of Nebraska spent WHOPPING sum of $10 an acre and eventually built the ranch up to be approximately 25K acres, their cattle were pretty much all grass fed, gram had a "scrap bucket" under the sink, which was used to feed the chickens and they produced ORANGE yolks.

    I just wish that our generation that is being raised nowadays could somehow understand how much more important the "simple values" are
    Thank you for your post!
    It sure is refreshing to listen to someone who actually KNOWS about religion and can pontificate (chose this word on purpose) about differences/similarities. If more people KNEW about various religions, we would have more acceptance and less ignorance in the world.

    Thanks again, from your friendly agnostic....
    your post
    I am STILL grieving for what happened in my hometown a week ago today -- it not ONLY affected the university but the surrounding communities as well. If one or 2 of those students at Virginia Tech or NIU had been able to carry a concealed weapon into those classrooms AND being able to confront that assailant then perhaps we would not be MOURNING but REJOICING because lives were saved rather than lost -- You YOUNGSTERS who have NEVER SEEN the tragiedies that have gone on in this country and I am talking from VietNam forward -- need to grow up and quit whining
    There was not one post that said
    or asked you to stop.  A few people just stated that it was hard to see other threads and I agree with them.  It was fun at first but it became tiring because you could not see threads from other people.  I'm all for it but perhaps a separate game board should be the place for it. 
    See my above post nm

    Thanks so much for your post--you have me so much to think about! sm
    You make some excellent points--things I hadn't even considered. I see why you like to decorate--you cover all the scenarios. Thanks again.
    Your post described me :-)

    Okay, this is the first break I've taken today so thought I'd check out the site.  I read your post and laughed because this has exactly happened to me.  Over the past few days I have visited too frequently and got behind on my work, so I made it a point not to visit the site until I finish my work. 


    Gosh - talk about addicted


    your post
    Being a military widow, I would call the "Jag" office but think first talking to his CO would work, if no help there then the military attornys
    Let's all post a pic of our pet...sm
    This is my darling Pit Bull, CJ, and my other darling Beagle, Darla.  They are the best of friends. 
    Thank you for your post.......s/m.
    I have never met a person with a 99.6 percentile IQ.
    Now that you explained all what comes with it, I see it quite differently and I agree that people with an IQ of 125-140 are the most fortunate. Because they go with the flow, they are smart, they fit in , they are not 'different.'

    Being a beauty queen is also not always a bliss, too intelligent, too beautiful, too rich, ect., it's not good.

    But it should not make you unhappy or even suicidal.
    This was RE my post below sm
    I think the OP should do as she pleases! While *I* have had a lot of flack for *my* decisions...I don't think that having a child or not having a child is selfish, ever. I don't think is requires a justification either.

    The only selfishness about children so far as I can see is willy nilly having babies by various fathers, not marrying and giving no thought as to whether you want the children or not, or whether you can care for them or not. This is NOT the case here and I know that.

    I am trying to say, having children or not, and the word *selfish*, have nothing in common.
    a post for me!! :)
    Hi silly girl i feel so special!

    I am just settling into being in a new state, living in a hotel room with a kitchen with no stove (i thought I barely cooked but without that I realize how much i need it!!!) Yes there is a microwave, but a small fridge and a freezer that only holds one frozen lean cuisine at a time!!! Find myself eating out way too much... putting everything on credit cards because I haven't transferred banks from west coast to east coast... lost one job and only get paid once a month now... LOL so much going on!!! but I am happy happy happy! :)
    I have a myspace page if you're interested but that is a LOT of information to take in! My little sister showed up two days ago as a complete surprise with my niece so I was ecstatic.
    Just been workin workin workin what i do. I do still come here and browse but haven't had the chance to sit and really have discussions lately. you are so sweet to have noticed!! ill be back :)


    i was about to ask what it was about until i saw a post below...
    I don't think I'm interested in reading about losing a child. I have a real sense of fantasy world and I'm not ready yet to deal with all the bad stuff around me!!!
    You are 100% right, my post is me to a T
    I have far more important things to do that be taken in by a con job. I am really shocked to see that others are so gulliable and open their wallets to a person who does not contribute to her plight but has only made it worse by dropping 8 more. She is mental (for real!) and others who play into it are right along with her.
