Good deeds...

[TrenAman]

OK, I have thought of something that is actually a GOOD DEED. Which is my mean spirited world is rare .

I have a cousin in Iraq who is actually one of few who is in combat pretty much regularly. He was on the cover of the NY Times "When one shot changes it all" story.

So, as a blood cousin, he is ful blown alcoholic, but you cannot drink over there or even be in possesion of such. So, my incredible mind found a way to trick the military "army".

I buy those half gallon bottles of Listerine mouth wash "yellow colored". I very carefully take off the top plastic seal "because I have to put it back on later" and dump the mouthwash out, filler'up with Jose Cuervo. close it, put the plastic seal back on top "I have this down to a science" and mail it to him. He gets it everytime and he bro's over there simply love me for it. I remember he was on a metal roof for over 2days waiting for insurgents and the only thing they talked about wasa getting back to base to drink the TrenMan's mouthwash!

Tweak, you are a hot chick, go to a bar, get drunk and get laid. If only guys had things in life so easy.

Wow, I feel loved! Thank you! Don't be too jealous but I'm visiting T Cake and Ulter in FL next month.

Tren-- I know I could do that but I deserve a hell of a lot more than a one night stand.

Loneliness sucks. During this interim while waiting for my next stage of life I teach at a high school. I always look for the loner kid and socialize with them. Today was a girl that speaks in an almost breathless voice from anxiety. I always make sure to use their name frequently, make good eye contact and try to engage them for a lengthy period.

My good deeds today were staying strong and comforting everyone today at my grandmas wake.... Taking my brother to buy a suit for the funeral. He is slightly fashon impaired LOL Helpped mom carrie in all of the flowers from the wake. Drove all of the way home from working out of town in Illinois so my brother could rest....

And for tomorrow I will drive my mom to the funeral... Ant the top one in my book will be to help carry my grandmas casket and help put her in the ground even though I am strggeling inside about doing it.

So Do I win

For a measly $10 I sent a magazine subscription to a soldier in Iraq. Interested in doing the same thing for today's good deed?

My latest good deed to someone besides my wife happened the day before yesterday while I was returning to our hotel in Vegas. I approached the outside doors of the front entrance and observed inside the hotel a young woman by herself strugling to get through the first of 2 doors to leave the hotel. She had a small child with her and at least 3 bags of luggage.

I grabbed the door for her and moved out of the way with a smile on my face only to have a small asian man come from behind me and mash right into the doorway without any consideration for the woman, nor myself, nor even acknowledging the 2 of us were even there. I guess karma got his ass tho because right when he was crossing the threshold of the door (he had a baby with him also in a stroller) he dropped like a BAZILLION things... crap went flying everywhere. I stood there for a few seconds and it was obvious it was going to take this asshat a long time to gather up all that stuff, so while holding that door I turned to my left to the next door and I opened that one for the young lady. She smiled and shuffled her way slowly through the door and said "Thank you so very much, I greatly appreciate it - its nice to see someone with a little class" and she rolled her eyes at the asian guy still on the ground trying to pickup his crap with his head down, still oblivious to either of us standing there.

I offered to help her with her bags, but she said it was ok as her car was right there at the curb. I then turned and the guy was still on the ground picking up his stuff, so I just walked through the door into the hotel and let the door go.

Man, I will tell ya something - this kind of thing has almost turned me into a racist person towards asians. My last few vacations to Vegas and Hawaii I have had nothing but negative experiences with the masses of asians that I encounter there. I typically don't generalize, and I am sure it is because of their culture and how they live in their society - for instance im sure in Hong Kong its packed so tight its ridiculous and it doesn't leave much room for "politeness" or "common courtesy". However I've never seen a group of people be so inconsiderate of other people in my life than I have witnessed asians being in both Vegas and Hawaii - running into people, bumping people as they power-walk past without even acknowledging the other person was even there, much less saying excuse me or anything of that nature. That type of behavior infuriates me, however I am digressing from the intent of this thread and post.

It does seem tho, that most random acts of kindness that I do go unnoticed. If I let someone pull out in traffic in front of me, rarely do they wave back to indicate a thank you. A lot of times I hold doors for women (older women do this to me a lot) and I never get a thank you - its like they think that is something that SHOULD be done as a requirement instead of just being grateful for it. There have been a few times that, that specific example has really pissed me off to the point where I turn and say in a very loud voice "YOU ARE VERY WELCOME" and then turn to go my separate way. People like that make it very hard to continue to be kind to random people...

Awww how sweet!

I hold the door open for people at the gym EVERY DAY, both men and women. Today two older men were a bit stunned, b/c their hands were full, on a mission to get IN the gym and obviously had no thought of holding the outer doors for me... so since they were in such a hurry, I held the second set of doors for both of them and just smiled.

It's the little things.....

My husband gave the Hispanic guy $5 for loading the rocks in our truck today (both him & hubby did it) and at Costco, something fell on the floor & hubby picked it up.....

This is a big difference between men and woman!

Can you do good deeds to family. In a way I don't think so.

But my wife's dad died. She is gone for two weeks. For me it seems like a lot to do my usual things and take care of all 4 children. Luckily my oldest three are pretty big helps. My son mowed the lawn today, which is usually my chore.

But I got up, did breakfast for everyone : my youngest likes pancakes, my oldest I warmed a quiche, I bought cookies or everyone, and went and bought Chinese food for my oldest girl (her fave). then laundry, grocery shopping, dishes, taking my youngest to buy a birthday gift for a party, go and hang out at the party (childrens parties - not my favorite thing) for 3 hours, clean the kithen, clean the backyard.

I am really glad I am not a single dad always taking care of 4. But I don't think I have let my wife feel like I am tired of it, or that its a strain.
