I was checking out at the grocery store the other day and the guy behind me had several of the long large packs of hamburger meat in his shopping buggy. There was a good sale on the hamburger meat and as she was finishing up with me, the cashier teased the man and said "if you are going to buy up all the hamburger meat how am I gonna get any?" She said this with a smile.(tone tag)
The man smiled shyly and said in a low voice that he was buying the meat for his neighbors, and that they needed a little help here and there. I turned around and gave him a large smile and told him what a nice thing for him to do!! I would have liked to say more. That was so nice of that man in my opinion. I wish there were more people like him in the world!!

I wish I had HIM for a neighbor!!!!!
Why is it that I get the neighbors that don't want to have anything to do with us.
Oh! I know why! Because for some reason, people are scared of a family that has 7 kids! I honestly have no clue why! If you asked the neighbors, I am sure they would say that the kids are really quiet and well behaved. But, our neighbors are not that friendly.
It is nice to hear about neighbors taking care of each other! Thanks for sharing!

That is such a sweet thing to do! I wish there were more people like that in the world. My neighbors aren't friendly at all. I try very hard to contribute when there is a good cause. I like when the store has the box for the food pantry up front. Or for clothes and coats.
I also reported the rude little boy and asked them to remove his post.
