jsharr ★ Posted August 20, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 20, 2014 Saturday was the day we fixed bikes for the single parent families at our church. I got 8 bikes back on the road for kids going back to school. That was fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted August 20, 2014 Share #4 Posted August 20, 2014 My husband was running late this morning, so I got out of bed and prepped his lunch for him so he could focus on getting ready. Saved him about ten minutes. He texted me a little while ago and told me that he appreciated the things I do for him. Go team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirwickWithCheese Posted August 20, 2014 Share #6 Posted August 20, 2014 We had an older resident named Pirkle who was always getting arrested for trespassing. Military veteran, dementia, homeless. I was leaving work at midnight in late March and saw Pirkle walking down the hill from our county jail. Technically it's against our policy to be with recent detainees but it was freezing cold. I picked him up, he cursed me because he thought he was being arrested. I drove him to In Town Country Suites and got him a room for a week. Loaded up his fridge with non cooking foods. He still hated me...... I was OK with that. I was at work in July when I read the coroner's report where he had been found dead in a warehouse somewhere on the other side of town. God speed Pirkle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealot Posted August 20, 2014 Share #7 Posted August 20, 2014 Was at the pharmacy recently to pick up a scrip. A lady in front of us was having some difficulty with her prescriptions for her kids; didn't have the money to pay for them all. So she made a decision to buy one and put the others back. As she was leaving my wife asked the pharmacist how much the scrips that the lady left behind were. I smiled and said yes, we'll pay for them. We wanted to anonymous about it so that it wasn't awkward for her. But they called the lady back to give them to her before we could leave and she was so astounded that she just kept thanking us. It was truly cool. Peace. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopped Liver Posted August 20, 2014 Share #8 Posted August 20, 2014 Nothing today...I'm working from the house and haven't left. Considering the mood I've been in, that alone may be doing the whole world a favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted August 20, 2014 Share #9 Posted August 20, 2014 This reminds me that on the way to SeaBase this year, Wade and I stopped for breakfast. We were in our scout uniforms as that is how we are supposed to travel to and from any camp, and as we were eating an elderly couple came in. He was in a walker and wearing a US Coast Guard retired hat. Wade and I paid for their breakfast without them knowing, then on our way out, stopped at their table and thanked him for his service. They still had no idea that we had paid for their breakfast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We overheard them talking and he had just returned after being deployed for nine months. We asked our waitress to let us know how much their dinner bill would be and that we would pay it, but she had to keep it hush. The looks on their faces when they asked for their bill and she told them someone had already paid it was priceless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted August 21, 2014 Share #14 Posted August 21, 2014 My daughter lives in Florida and works as a social worker for Hospice. She told me about a man in his late 80's who loves to read, but as he recently became ill he couldn't get to the library any more. She asked me if I had any books that I could loan him so he'd have something to read. I think I've got over 500 books, maybe close to 600, so I figured I could spare a few. My daughter said she could take back about 6 or 7 in her carry on luggage. So I dug out about 10, including several that I counted among my favorites because I thought he'd like them too, and let her pick which she thought her patient might like best. She said his face lit up when he saw the books, and again when she told them they were his to keep if he wanted them. He said "It looks like I've got enough to keep me busy for a month!" In a month's time, my daughter and I will form our own little book conspiracy to see what else we might cook up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted August 21, 2014 Share #16 Posted August 21, 2014 I was at the post office last week. Three people were ahead of me with one at the counter. No USPS employees could be seen. The clerk came out, she was getting something for the guy at the counter. He stepped to the side to fill out some paperwork. Next person goes up with a package to mail. The lady in front of me was probably 80 and had a cane. I could tell that being on her feet was getting to her. The young guy in front of her should have let her go ahead but he was oblivious. I left the queue and grabbed a chair from the passport photo area and gave it to the lady in front of me. Good karma in the bank! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Silly Posted August 21, 2014 Share #17 Posted August 21, 2014 The 'most recent' was holding a door for someone coming into the office this morning. Sunday at the pet store, some little boy didn't have enough money for some dog food he was buying. I covered the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
