Kind Act Thread.....

I know but I honestly didn't intend to come back at all. I was trying to take a pretty permanent break. But dang it if I read I eventually just can't help myself and I end up replying. I need to work on my will power, but some of y'all have such tempting minds.

 

I agree with you Tarshi. Espy is quite special and a real positive influence. It is soooooo fitting that you would acknowledge her kindness, as your return is a great stroke of kndness to many, many of us who have missed you. I am thrilled to see your return.

 

The more I read your posts the more I like you- great Kushton

 

Kushton - you are the king of interesting threads!

Well, the other week I was walking through the waiting room with some chocolate fudge I had made for my colleagues (I was taking it to them). I walked past a patient and he noticed I was holding it so after I visited my colleagues, I brought some back for him. He was pleased. Then, a few days later, he brought me in some home baked cake. He had driven all the way to the hospital and found a car park (which is no mean feat) to bring it to me. I had no idea he appreciated my giving him fudge that much. I was so touched.
it made me realise people really do notice the small things .

I :smt049 Kindness.

 

:smt008 thanks mr nevada

 

Gave this homeless dude some change outside 7-11. I always tell myself I'm not gonna give them shit anymore since they are out there every single time but I end up caving in. Fuck it. It's just change.

 

I do the same thing... And the other day I handed this homeless guy a joint cause i didn't have any cash, he started smiling and sayin you are an ANGEL! I felt really good.:smt003

I miss my 7-11 ... Miss my Slushies:smt089

 

Most people I have found lately do actually appreciate the small things... I complimented an elderly couple (my clients) yesterday at work, they are in their lat 60's and they came into my office walking hand and hand. I thought that was so beautiful to see that I told them so and it seemed to make them smile even more that I noticed their admiration for one another.... After we talked business they said to me that it too will happen for me one day,,,,, Nothing could make me happier then being with the same man for 30 odd years and still so in love as they were...awwwwwwwww... They made me smile.

I did that all the time in Philly,,, always promised myself the next time I wouldn't but I always did.... If I were to move there I would be broke.

 

A few weeks ago, my friend visited the library to do his German test. Well, he only had one hour and thirty minutes before the library closed, so I actually ran around campus and lo and behold, I came across a German native speaker. It only took me 20 minutes for me to find her. She happily agreed to help my friend and while they didn't finish on time, he was able to re-do the test again.

 

I used to be a really nice guy, but I got tired of people taking advantage of me by taking my kindness for weakness. That shit's for the birds.

I do however still believe in the golden rule though.:smt023

 

That's unfortunate Tony because not only is it not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength. People take that same approach to women unfortunately, but instead of being weak, we're considered stupid or gullible. I decided that it doesn't matter what anyone but me thinks, and that anyone who views helping someone in need with suspicion or negativity can just go fuck themselves because I don't want to know someone like that anyway.

Hmmm... that wasn't a very nice thing to say in the Kind Act thread huh. :smt081

P.S. I think you're still a really nice guy.

 

Thank you Espy. It's people like yourself that make me believe that there's still a reason to have faith in humanity.:smt058

 

So instead of helping little old ladies across the street, you trip them???


:smt081

 

Wow.:smt042 C'mon now, I'm not a monster.

But I am a beast.

 

HA!! That's badass.

And yes, slushies are the shit. I gotta wade through a flood of homeless dudes to get to it though. :smt011 The small talk is what gets me. They come up to me and say "brother" and ease their way into it. Dammit.

I'll be sure never to go to Philly.

 

I know, you prolly help little old ladies and all every day - but i wont tell...
Ill keep the secret

I do nice things all the time... Last friday I didnt punch the stinky drunk in the seat next to me in the plane, that wouldnt stopp talking to me sending vapors into my face...... I thought that was very nice of me.

 

:smt023 Good for you FG! I think that same guy was in Fed Ex last night, and I didn't hit him either, despite I had to stand as far away as politely possible while still remaining in line behind him, and he argued over the cost for about 10 mins, and then couldn't remember his CVV code and it was rubbed off on the back of his card so that delayed him another 10 mins. I stood there holding the large box I was shipping and didn't look annoyed as he lounged against the counter, half-naked, wreaking of alcohol, and turning around every 30 secs or so to stare at me like I was food. I just smiled and resisted the urge to tell him that he might be able to remember that it's expensive to ship overnight International, and his CVV code if he wasn't completely polluted at the time.

 

lmao at the whole piece...you're a dag...!!!:smt026

 

Donated blood this past Saturday... I need to get back on my charity grind.
