Beer is too weak. It's also barbarian. A true Roman drinks vinum

Oh.

Sorry, couldn't resist, not even in the pay it forward thread.

I generally help out people who look like they need it.  My wife and I took in one of my sons friends when he was 16 and had no where to go, he lived with us three years and was the first in his family to graduate high school we still consider him one of our kids.

Still think this is awesome.

        What a difference a good stable home can make for a young kid!

  A couple of weeks ago I saw a big square board in the middle of the street across from the supermarket. 
   I waited for traffic to pass, then scooted into the street and dragged the board up onto the grass so no one would
   drive over it and experience a bump.  I whacked my left calf with the board and still have the bruise!

So do I.

I don't have lots of money so I don't pay it forward as much as I would like. I have donated heaps of clothes to various charities (either too small or I haven't worn it in over a year) and they are good quality. I don't donate stuff with stains or rips/holes.

I saw someone drop $70 on the ground in the city. I picked it up and ran after them to give it back to them. I could have really used the money but that would really play on my conscience if I took it for myself.

I have given my ticket for parking to someone coming in as I am going out. That is easy.

My friend donates lengths of all kinds of fabric to be made for clothes for people in Africa.
Another old friend puts a gift under the Kmart Chrismas tree each year for people who can;t afford presents.

Altruism

Don't believe it exists.

I think it definitely does. I've benefited from it, and I do make some effort to help people around me.


A few weeks ago, I spent a couple of weeks redecorating an old neighbours house, and must say, I done a bloody good job. I stripped off all her wallpaper, lifted up all her carpets, sanded down all her wood. I patched up her walls and painted them. I glossed all her wood, and I laid laminate flooring, and I got her most of the materials for free, and paid for the rest myself.
