I like doing things for other people. There is an elderly lady that lives behind me that i have told for years if she needed anything to let me know. She oever married, was a school tracher & VERY INDEPENDENT. This morn she called me & SAID SHE WAS SICK & NEEDED SOME MEDS FROM THE DRUGSTORE, WOULD I GO GET THEM. I told her the drug srore was closed today because it is a hiliday but to call the guy that owns it & if he'd go down there i'd go get it. Luckily he was nice enough to go. That is one of the perks of living in a small town & knowing everybody . I feel good that i could do that for her & that the druggist was nice enough to do his good deed for the day also. Have u done a good deed today for someone?

the problem is that I really am trying to save my hand, bad enough that the can opener at my clients is so hard on my right hand (where my arthritus is), but I'm trying not to crank them open at home too, that means I need the roommate to open them until we can afford an electric one... need an electric one at my client's too, but she sure can't afford one.

You have done a noble deed for helping this old lady. When you are serving others, life is no longer meaningless. Mother Teresa warned, "Unless life is lived for others, it is not worthwhile. A self-centered life is totally empty." I might not have done much in public service to help others but the little things that I do like donating to worthy causes is something worth a write here. I try to make myself available to those who seek my help and am always open to help those in desperate situations.


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11603)   ranked 36 out of 12,477 in friend  7 months ago

i KNOW U DO GOOD, zANDI. I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO DONATE BUT MY TIME BUT I'M ALWAYS WILLING TO DO THAT. I know it took alot for her to call me. She was one of my customers at the shop. Hope your weekend is going good & everything is calm on the home front. Thanks for responding.

Not yet jo...I did just take back a couple of bunnies to my friends house that we have been bunnysitting for a week. She wanted to go visit her mother out of state and asked if we would keep them. I do like doing nice things for people. It makes me feel good. I live in a medium sized town and I don't know everyone here but I do agree that there are a lot of perks to small town living.


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11603)   ranked 36 out of 12,477 in friend  7 months ago

keeping bunnies might even be more than i would do. T HAT SHOULD COUNT FOR A MONT'S GOOD DEEDS IF NOT MORE, LOL. I know u do good things all the time. U are good folks. I sure was glad he was willing to go down & get her meds. Would have been a long time to mon. for her. HAVE FUN THIS WEEKEND.

I certainly have!

There's a guy called Charlie who lives on the next street from me. He has MS and so has great difficulty doing pretty much everything. I've been going round there most days, all he needs is people to talk to and to make sure things get done on his behalf.

I went yesterday because his mobility scooter had broken down, leaving him to have to crawl to bed the night before. The man from the shop had promised he'd be round at 11am to fix it but didn't turn up until 4pm. He had no tools on him and so I gave him a right earful. He really didn't seem to understand the fact that Charlie needs to keep every bit of dignity he has left and crawling to bed doesn't help.

Anyway, I went round again at 9.30 this morning and he'd already been! I'd scared him that much that he brought it round, all fixed at 9am lol


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11603)   ranked 36 out of 12,477 in friend  7 months ago

That is really kind of u to check on him. I know he really appreciates it. Glad u did give the repair man the devil he deserved it & probably more. U are right we all need to have our diginity intact. BLESS HIS HEART & YOURS.


myLot reputation of 72/100. LilyLoretta (952)   ranked 2,267 out of 12,477 in friend  7 months ago

I'm still really annoyed about the repair man - he knew I'd be getting to Charlie's at 9.30 this morning, so he got there at 9 and had the cheek to ask Charlie for the £50 fee for the new battery!

I'm going to be putting a written complaint in and I'll be handing it directly to his boss. I won't let him get away with it.

That is really nice of you to do Jo! Wow! It goes to show how great a person you are! thumbup I'd have done the same thing had it happened to me. In fact, there was this older lady who needed someone to be her driver when I could so I did it for a little while til she got upset with me because I smoke. rolleyes She did pay for the gas and sometimes even for lunch but to tell me to not smoke in my own car even with the window partially down, wasn't going to happen. She knew I was a smoker before she asked for help she should've accepted it but she wouldn't and kept hounding me about it which eventually got on my damned nerves and I told her so but in a nice and non confrontational way and that's when she went off on me. Hasta la vista baby! (something like that) She tried to treat me like her personal servant and I wouldn't have it either. I do things on my own terms and only on my own terms and she couldn't accept that. I didn't want her gas money or lunch but she insisted so I didn't have a choice but for her to treat me like she did was plain wrong.
Anyway, that's one story which I have many of them in which I've helped others and most have appreciated it. I'm a firm believer of what goes around comes around although I'm not one to look for a pat on the back when I do a good deed. NOT saying you are either!! Please don't take me wrong! It's just who and what I am, is all..... HUGS!!


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11603)   ranked 36 out of 12,477 in friend  6 months ago

CAT, i like doing things for people, that's jsut my nature. I hope noone thinks i wastrying to get a pat on the back. I was just so proud that she had ask me to do something because i had offered so many times & she wouldn't let me. i did her hair for a long time.
BOY, u got u a doozy, didn't u?? I couldn't have handled her either. sHE WOULDN'T have been happy w/me either becauce i smoke & everyone i know knows that. I'm glad to do for anyone but people w/that kind of attitude doesn't deserve anyone's help. hugs to u, CAT.

Jo, I have to be honest, I'm sooooo depressed. I've been this way for about a week now and I'm in this constant daze. I don't want to be around anybody, talk to anybody and have no interest in anything. It's horrible but I don't know how to get out once I'm in this state of mind. I know I have to work at it somehow but how? I'm already on zoloft and anxiety medicines but neither have been able to pull me from going into this depression. It's like I'm in my personal hell and there's no light or signs to show me the way out. So if I disappear, don't take it to heart, it's just that I need to figure out how to handle these sorry situations that I've been put in. I have a hard heart but apparently not hard enough because I feel so much pain. Know what I mean? I'm just so angry and so hurt on one side and so worried and concerned on the other.... meaning my brother, nephew and niece and then my parents. Damn, I'm so overloaded and overwhelmed by it all.

Good morning Cat, I am not surprised u are in this funK,dear. i had been afraid this was going to happen. U have had waaaaaaaaayyyyyyy to much dumped on you. U are just going to have to learn to walk away from some of it. tHEY ALL put too much on u. Just think of it in this scanario. If u lived in another state u wouldn't know every little thing that was going on, they couldn't all dump on u if u were away. I know u aren't going to move that's not what i mean but act like u have in your mind. rolleyes. If u let them they are going to drive u to a breakdown. I have told u all this before. U ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO LIKE I DID W/MY PARENTS, If they are in a good mood w/you fine, if they are not fine. It's time u thought about yourself, your husbband, your life. Please try to see this before something happens to you. O.K.??????

That is great that the pharmacist opened the store so she could get her meds. I am not too certain that would happen in our town. Only one of the 4 pharmacies in our town is independently owned.

It was very nice of him. How are things w/you. I have thought of u often. I saw your discussion about buying a car & was going to amswer it & somehow didn't. If u could find u a program car they usualyy have low milage & u can get a pretty good deal on them. that's what mine was when i bought it. Another thing is good id to shop around w/the different dealers & compare notes w/them to. Good luck.

I admire you for doing good for others today. I have come to know that bringing joy to someone is one of the acts that would make your heart merry and cannot be bought by money. It is truly better or best to do something for others than to concentrate on what others can do for us. With that good example you have, it inspires me to do more good acts for others!lol

Thank u, i know i could do more than i do & was so very glad she called me & i could help her. She's getting to the age she may need more & more help. I DID HER HAIR FOR A LONG TIME & SHE HAS BEEN A VERY INDEPENDANT LADY. i AM TO BUT CAN'T DO ALOT OF THINGS I USE TO.
