That is really sweet Gemsong. thank you for sharing that story. It was totally nice and made me smile.
That's great to hear, Gemsong. I once picked up a guy during a blizzard that needed to get to the hospital to see his wife. Every good deed always come back to you, like my posting this is my 1000th

Good point! I am generous and often help others, but can see when someone is trying to take advantage, so I know when to back off and say no in a diplomatic way. I have been taken advantage of when I was younger.
One must learn to use discernment and wisdom.Under a particular tree at the exit from a Sierra Vista, Arizona, parking lot, "chronic" homeless types sit and solicit. Pam and I will help homeless folks whenever we're not dead broke ourselves and our gut tells us it's the thing to do, but not to anyone in that spot--one guy's been there most mornings for YEARS and is most likely doing better dollar-wise than we are.
But yesterday one dude in that spot really did get my attention. He was seated at his ease...with an extremely legible cardboard sign that proclaimed:
WHY LIE? NEED A BEER!
I was in a hurry to get home and did not stop, yet definitely wanted to know how "truth in advertising" was working for him...
Gemsong, you done good.
This is beautiful to read Gemsong. You were this man's angel today.
Ghost32: That is a very unique way of panhandlilng but at least the guy was honest. LOL!!!
that is awesome

Have you done a good deed lately? I'm not boasting or anything, but I have. And I feel...big satisfaction whenever I remember or think of it. So much so that I intend to repeat it with someone else in the near future.
