That you should go and do something? Because something good will come of it?
I don't just mean helping your neighbor move their trash cans back. I mean, walking down the street, suddenly deciding to take the long way home b/c it feels like the proper thing to do.
Well, I did that today. On my way home from my OBGYN appt. I decided that it would be a good idea to peruse through Value Village and PC Recycle.
So I did. Value Village had some interesting stuff, and I made some mental notes for future reference. Same thing with PC Recycle. Good stuff, but I wasn't buying b/c I was short of cash. I was done, but still felt a bit odd. Like I might be forgetting something, but of course I wasn't b/c I wasn't planning to buy anything.
As I was headed out, thanking the shop keeper for letting me browse, a guy walked in lugging a PC monitor. He asked if I wanted to save him $12 (the cost of giving it to the store to "deal" with it.) and asked if I needed a monitor. I said: Actually yes, b/c mine is getting ready to die on me.
So he gave me his, even lugged it out to my car down the block! (Would've moved closer, but the stupid one way street would've required me to take about 5 minutes to circle around and get back! And I didn't wan to leave him waiting)
So I'm now typing to you on my new monitor, and nice 19" flat screen CRT. He had upgraded and need to make room for his new one.
Wow! 
Brandon is jealous.  
I know lots of folks have had "bad feelings" about stuff and had them be right. But anyone have stories about "good feelings"?   |

Don't know if this fits your criteria, but it's a true story.....
My appendix blew up one night....
I went to the ER and after a few horror stories, they took it out...
A few days later my mom told me what I had said to the nurse....
I said, Mom, I don't talk like that to anyone...
She said "you did", it was my mom, I would have called anyone else a liar...
So, I had a talk with the nurse. She told me it was OK because I was dealing
with the effects of coming off anesthesia, it happens all the time....
I told her...It's not OK with me, I don't talk like that...
We chatted and I found she had ruined her credit but needed a new
refrigerator....
Ha!, I told her I knew the Credit Mgr at a local home furnishings establishment and he would help her...
I broke every rule in the credit book to help that lady, she never
missed a payment...

Wow! 
That's cool! Wish more folks looked at the people and less at the numbers. |
