What favor(s) have you done lately for someone for no real reason?<br><br>I delivered medicine to an elderly couple who could not get out and bought three other people lunch just cause I wanted to. You would be surprised at the responses you get sometimes just by giving a moment here and there to help someone. <br><br>Could this be contagious?

 

I do little stuff all the time for other folks. I wouldnt call them favors really, just nice juestures.<br>I like to think that the folks I do these for would do the same for me. (If they really would or not is irrelivent).<br><br>Contageous? Maybe, I just believe in that old &quot;Golden Rule&quot; and believe that the things I do for others, &quot;Favors&quot;, are accounted for by a higher power... God.<br><br>Just my beliefs.<br>Rich

 

I put up with you guys everyday!, isn't that enough? ;D<br><br> Truthfully anytime you lend a hand to somebody, it comes back ten fold.

 

My &quot;adopted parents&quot; across the street are in their 80s.<br>She is always making too many cookies and too much cake so I have to do them a favor.<br>I've probably gained 10 pounds doing them &quot;favors&quot; so far. ;D<br>Seriously, I clean their walks and driveway when it snows (I get to play with my snow-blower), blow their leaves in the fall(I get to play with my leaf-blower), get 40 bags of mulch for their flowerbeds twice a year(get to play with my truck), and other odd chores as needed.<br>And in exchange, she makes me fat. ;D <br>They're great people. ;D

I helped push a school bus with about 10 kids on it a quarter of a mile last week in the Nashville snow. The driver was crying and she wanted to get the kids home. Kind of cool to see the smile on her face when she went on down the road.

 

Atta boy Joel. Where would ths country be without &quot;volunteers&quot;.....I was a Boy Scout leader for 14 years, I always say, God bless the &quot;volunteers&quot;.

 

The widow of the farmer I grew up working for still lives in the old farmhouse. Her kids are not available to do the small things around the place that need to be done (even though one lives only about a half mile from me - but he is a mechanical incompetent).<br><br>Last year on the Sunday morning before Christmas she called me at 9AM in a panic because she had no water and the pump house was flooded. I had her a new bladder tank installed by 11AM. I replaced her toilet seat when she wanted a new one installed. It is the little things that make people's day.<br><br>The neighborhood I live in is probably 80% retirees, alot of them widowers or with spouses in the nursing home. I do alot of little things that it takes muscle to do that they can't do anymore. My wife still doesn't understand why I will drop what I am doing (usually what she has been wanting me to do for a while) and wander off to help somebody else out for a few minutes. Like Joel said, it comes back tenfold in the long run.<br><br>I'm still waiting for one of them to kick the bucket and leave me their stock portfolio or their vacatoin home on the beach (just kidding) :P

 

I was sitting at a red light in Westminster Maryland in a little town and I saw this eighteen wheeler sitting oposite me waiting to make a right turn on the very small streets. I had my trailer on and the old R model on the trailer coming from a show. I could tell that he had been sitting there through several red light cycles due to the amount of traffice behind him and the traffic coming from my direction would not stop long enough to let him swing wide and make the turn. I held up traffic on my side when the light changed and left him go first. He took the whole intersection and made his turn. He hollered at me on the CB and thanked me and you would have thought I offered him the whole world just by doing that little thing for him. I said you are welcome and just asked him one thing, return the favor to someone else some day. He said &quot;you can bank on it driver&quot;. Just little things like that can make a big difference.<br>Think good things and help someone out today.
