I went to the post office with my mom a few weeks ago. I was talking to the lady at the counter about tracking these people in Altoona, Iowa who took a fifty dollar money order as payment, and then never sent me my printer. The postal worker went to look something up, and I looked down on the ground. There was a bill, I picked it up, and it was a hundred. Paranoia set in. Not immeadiately, but very close to it. My mom suggested that it may belong to the elderly black lady that was also in the room. Sure enough, she had been buying money orders, and never even realised she had dropped it. Normally, I am so noid about somebody getting over on me, that I would have just stuck it in my pocket. Not that I am a thief, but I always get the feeling that the person is all like, "sucker, now I've got the hundred bucks" or what ever. She was very greatful, and all like, the lord is gonna bless you chile. I did happen to get a job that day, and that is no small achievement for me. Been hard getting jobs here lately.

I found 31 cents yesterday on the floor at work.








I left a big space to give the quick thinkers time to realize someone had quite possibly spent 69 cents. huh huh 69.

Right on man. That 100-dollars might have been all that lady had to live on for the rest of the month.

And congrats on the job.

Huhuhuhuh.....you said "69".....
 

Because of this charitable act, a position in the church,a charity worker or somewhere else that your clear love of mankind can be manifest.
If you are happy in your vocation then you will succeed.
What just occurred to me was a vision of you working in a soup kitchen holding a ladle.
No doubt the global economic crisis had prompted this vision.
Gee-off
 

Don't know whether it helps or not but here's my story.
Found a 5 dollar bill on the ground at a downtown fair near a kids booth. Was VERY tempted to pocket the money. instead I gave it to the guy running the booth cause some kid might have lost it. Long story short, two days later while playing bingo I won 250.00.

Oh yea, I believe in karma
 

This last post reminds me of the expression out of the frying pan into the fire as I have allways regarded carnival folk with deep suspicion and that they were descended from Gypsy's

What a bigoted statement :icon_scratch:
 

When I was new here, 1976, a lady in front of me at the Safeway supermarket checkout dropped some money...
"Mam, your money is in the floor"...Ihat is what I said...The lady was so greatful...
You did a good thing and it feels good within yourself. :icon_sunny:

When you publically regard a person with suspicion and then attach the stigma of decendancy, then you have made an insulting, if not, bigoted statement.

Having family and friend's families and extended families lost under Hitler's regime, some just due to suspicion of being from a certain race or religion, and then having the same comments being mentioned in the 21st Century America...yes, its certainly a bigoted statement, if not racial.

In my opinion, there is zero tolerance for any and all racial or bigoted statements.
 

Consensus does not make something true.

If there is a consensus that the sky is purple with pink polka dots, it will not make it so.


1996,

I believe you did a good thing.
What goes around, comes around.

It's doing the right thing when there is nobody to stop you from doing the wrong thing, that tells you who you really are.

Proud of you.

I would definitely have to say that's the general consensus. har har har

I'M BAAAACK
