(These are all true)


Hm ok well when i was younger we bought a homeless person some chicken and a drink (soda)

Convinced my parents to buy a bag of canned foods at Publix that would automatically be donated to a family that would need it for xmas.

Put out a grease fire in the kitchen back where I used to live, and kept the house from burning down.

Talked my friend Jessica out of killing herself.

Back when my sister was in undergrad her roomie passed out from malnutrition in the shower and cut up her knees. We had to help her regain consciousness, and call the cops, who said her blood sugar was low from eating wrong.

Um once there was a baby bird that fell outta a tree, I thought it was going to die, I saw it on the sidewalk on my way home from school, and I didnt know u werent supposed to touch it. So I got a napkin and took the baby to a local animal hospital where they informed me the bird would be fine, but not to do that again....hehe oops...

Um there was a baby who got hurt and was bleeding out of her head, a local friend in the neighborhood, I got in the backseat of the mothers car to hold a tissue to her head to stop the bleedint without a seatbeat as the mother was in a panic, we got her to the hospital on time to get stitches.

And generally overall I'd say i'm a pretty damn good friend, If u give me respect i'll give it back, and if you need me to listen i'm there. I like helping out my friends. ANd i've started to knock negative people from my life, cuz I dont think I'm a bad person, granted I've done dumb things in my life but I always try to improve.

Anywho, if I could and I had money I'd donate lots to lots of charities, and even though I have little I still donate when/where I can.

So what are some of the good things you've done?
Lets spread some positive vibes throughout this board

Laura:D

*Edit: I've also tried to have my friends be proud of who you are, regardless of race, just be yourself and accept others for who they are. I had a friend he was half white, half japanese, he used to always make racial jokes about japanese people. I told him he needed to change his attitude and be proud of who he was, and not deny his mothers side. He finally quit making the jokes and went about being nicer with people, he and I are still friends to this day.

Another friend of mine got his life off track by some mishaps that happened and he was kicked outta school, I told him to get back up and keep going, since he had always been there for me, I wasnt going to give up on him, he's currently back in school and has quit many of his bad habits and he credits it to my support.

I love my friends and only want the best for them, that's just how it goes. Got one life right

I helped a friend once pay her rent was due lent her 250 bucks, no interest, no rush to pay me back.

I always have my friends tell me all their problems and usually try to give advice..... and I volunteer, that's about it....

I try to help human evolution; by providing means for stupid people to die.

Oh, and I donated to the tsunami relief.

I umm... told someone I loved them. Then realised they didn't love me back. And I've err... put all my spare change in cancer research boxes when I buy sweets.

I also saved some people's lives apparently.

I tipped my barber 5 bucks one day. Boy did I feel like Rockefeller

Well this one time I bought a candy bar at 1.21$ and I paid the guy with 1.25 and told him to keep the change.

Flex and Ubuu...every bit helps. it really does.

One time wayyy back prob. 00' I was working at a fast food place by my home (Wendy's) and this lady came up in line with two kids, I took her order and she was being really rude to me. I wanted to deck her, u know, she's not the only one having a bad day.

Instead I smiled and offered to help her take her tray of food to her table. Her attitude completely changed, she apologized for being rude, and said she had had a stressful day managing in the kids, and thanked me for the help.

Hey we are all human we all have our ****ty days right

I once got assaulted in glasgow by some hindu wanting money and it's hard to refuse, so I gave them £1 to add to the already growing sum I've given that lady. Its so intimidating and you can't exactly walk off....

But anyway, once, a few years ago, I knew someone who fancied the same girl as me, and well... I set them both up just so that one of us would've been happy, and I pretended all was well, that was a nice thing, I think.

To be honest, I don't think I've done anything. There's probably the low-grade kindness stuff I'm forgetting, but nothing striking comes to mind.

I try not to boost my selfesteem when assisting another person or orginization by specifically remembering the event and mentioning it whenever the topic of good will towards other men is braught up.

JediKirby

it's not boosting self esteem, it's showing that people do good things and it's helping lighten the mood around massassi since I notice a lot of the threads see mto be negative or become negative. Again u aren't forced to share, it's optional

Once I mercy-killed twenty terminal children.

I feels stupid now...

I have helped my friends many times when they are too drunk to walk. I help them to get home, and puke a little, then drink some water so they don't have a hangover. In return, they do the same for me.

I could never live with myself if I'd done that to someone, don't you feel even slightly guilty for that?

Don't you feel slightly gullible?

(that is, if you're not joking)

But seriously people, take this chat I had for instance:



JediKirby

On a 3-day hike with my dad, my sister, her friend, and her friends dad, we were sleeping in one of the huts, and around midnight my sisters friend fell from the top bunk in her sleep. She landed on her back with an almighty thump. We got her onto one of the lower bunks to keep an eye on her, but she was in some considerable discomfort, so me and another guy staying the night at the hut made the decision to walk the 3-4 hours from the hut to the small township at the end of the track. We left the hut at around 1am, and walked through the darkness (with our flashlights) and arrived at the township around 4:30am. We found the first payphone and phoned the emergency services. They decided to send a water taxi out to the hut at daybreak, so the local policeman picked us up from the payphone and took us to the station/house where we slept for a few hours till dawn, at which time the policeman took us to the water taxi, and back to the hut to collect my sisters friend. The water taxi couldn't hold us all, so only the policeman, my sisters friend, her father, and the water taxi driver were taken back to the town. My dad, my sister and I all walked the same track I had done in the night, and got to the track end.

When we got back to the mainland, we drove to the hospital to see my sisters friend. She had fractured one vertebrae (one of the lumbar ones I think) but would be fine.
Every now and then her mother tells that story to people and says I am a hero
Wasn't overly heroic to me... but maybe that is just modesty

And just before Christmas, I donated $100 to a radio station promotion where the hosts of the morning show are locked in a cell for a week to raise money to take a number of underpriviledged and disabled children on a trip to Australia to visit some theme parks etc. Overall they raised $131,000, and will be taking around 20 or so children and a caregiver for each on the trip.

Oh, and I do various typing and computer work (graphs and lists) for my dad, who runs the local Foodbank.

That's about all I can think of.

Lol...you are my new hero.:p

it's not like I named anybody... but yeah I get your point. SO plan B.

Plan B (in case of emergency gullibleness):

I MADE IT ALL UP! HONEST.

Well, then, I guess I'm much more sociopathic than you. But, it's not like you don't have the capacity to kill. Once you get past the first one, the rest aren't so bad. You simply need to make sure that you have an alibi, and a way to cover up the death. That time, I was careless. If I wasn't a kid, I couldn't have got away with it.

What the ****?

And that's why stat makes my pants explode.

And a lot of other tech posts, along with posts on other forums... in real life... constantly helping people fix their computers :-\ Nothing really life saving though.

Errr.. I really don't keep track of how many times I hold open the door for a member of the fairer sex, run errands or gone to the store for grandma, taken care of my brother's dog when he's on a trip, volunteered for something, given a tourist some navigational aid, taken notes for a fellow student, given a few €'s to someone collecting for Red Cross/UNICEF/Invalid War Veterans' fund, nursed a bird that's survived crashing into a window (just pick them up gently, with gloves, supporting the vertebrae. Find some old beanie or hat, put them in it and leave them outside somewhere where they aren't going to freeze, let it recuperate and fly off once it eventually comes to).

I don't do it to feel good about myself or to boast. Mostly it's just pretty much second nature. I usually just don't see a reason to be all that frugal with my time if I'm not doing anything anyway, and I assume that they'd do the same for me were I in their shoes.

Kirby, Stat, and everyone else, if you cant post anything postive on this thread, than please dont post on it at all.

Meh, I've probably opened some doors and stuff. Nothing else.

I probably went through them, #$^%#%!.

I've helped in searching for people on various occasions with my search and rescue team which is all volunteer.

I used to volunteer a lot when I was in cadets. Plus, in my more senior years as a cadet, when I had a high rank and was instructing the new recruits, I was told by a few of my cadets that I changed the way they live their lives for the better and were glad they joined cadets because of what I taught them and what I showed them what they were capable of.

Then of course there's a bunch of other random things I've done over the years that just about everyone else has done at least once (help a stranded motorist, helped someone that's hurt, things like that)

Have you guys been following me around?

I have donated blood a couple times.
