Title: I'M POOPED... Post by Langa on Feb 7th, 2008, 4:34pm I decided that today I would do something nice for someone I love and I did it as a surprise. My mother-in-law has been in a lot of physical pain and she needs surgery on her back among other ailments, so I know even though she doesn't say it, that she can't do much for herself. Her husband is in Florida until the surgery. So today, I surprised her at 9:00 am. I walked in, told her "all I need is coffee and quick". So I ironed, vacuumed, washed dishes, mopped, cleaned her bathrooms, organized her bills, and cleaned her office/extra bedroom. I also climbed those dreaded stairs to the cellar with a bunch of stuff she wanted up there - you know as I was looking for spiders :-[. She tried to stop me and I said "woman, don't stop me now, i'm on a roll, you see me coming and run or i'll run you over"...Six hours later and i'm in a fog, but damn if this place doesn't look spotless. :P I even sat down with her and we prayed and she cried on my shoulder and of course I cried with her...i'm such a moosh. Then I put some music on and we danced - she danced with a cane of course. Gordon is going to have to give me a rubdown tonite, but my heart feels good for helping her out. I left with lots of goodies too. :) Sometimes, we're so consumed with our own troubles that we forget those we love that could use our help (including myself). This place is a great example of people hurting and still helping each other. We should all be proud of how we love one another here and help each other during our most desperate times. Thanks Family. Love, Langa |

Title: Re: I'M POOPED... Post by Jonny on Feb 7th, 2008, 5:19pm Speaking of money. [smiley=grin2.gif] My brothers been having financial problems for a few months now, so I loaned him $500 to make his mortgage. Over night I thought that someone needed to cut this guy a break if hes ever going to pull himself up, so I called him the next day and told him that the loan was now a gift. Langa baby, you and I rock!...LOL [smiley=headbanger.gif] |

Title: Re: I'M POOPED... Post by DennisM1045 on Feb 8th, 2008, 12:47pm Random acts of kindness do as much for the giver as the receiver. Nice job Maria. I hope that rub down was good. You certainly deserved it. Hey Jonny, my furnace is broken ;) There is a heart of gold underneath all that ink. But your secret is safe with us. -Dennis- |

Title: Re: I'M POOPED... Post by Peppermint on Feb 8th, 2008, 12:54pm Mery Mery quite contrary.... NOT! That was really sweet. I hope when I finally lose my marbles (to Alzheimer's) someone I love will have the same giving-ness that you have for yours. I believe karma will keep good things coming back to you many times over!! Pepa :) |

Title: Re: I'M POOPED... Post by DennisM1045 on Feb 8th, 2008, 4:33pm Ya know, every time I look at this thread title in the list my mind automatically removes the "'M" from "I'M POOPED" making it read: "I POOPED" A phrase familiar to anyone with small children around. I guess my mind is just conditioned to listen for that pronouncement ;;D -Dennis- |

Title: Re: I'M POOPED... Post by BarbaraD on Feb 9th, 2008, 7:22am This thread does my heart good. Nothing good goes unrewarded. I'm proud of you kids. It really irks me when I see people (as I do daily) who won't do a damn thing for anyone without first figuring, "what's in it for me?" - then to see people doing things unselfishly without any thought of getting anything back.... well... that's how things should be. Puts a lump in this old broad's throat -- and that takes a lot (as most of you know). Keep up the good work.... Hugs BD |
