There are people out here like not forgetting the bell

Posted: Dec 11, 2009

I give and from the heart and receive so much more back than I could ever give to others. There was 1 MT on here who wanted a foot pedal so she could work and I emailed asking how much and sent her that. I read about people having a hard time, sometimes children die without insurance and parents have a hard time getting together money for the funeral and I sent something to them. We had floods in our state a few months ago and I sent money to 2 different families that lost a mother and a child in each family. I send money sometimes to clinics where animals taking in that have been abused and they need money for treatment. Last Christmas I went over Craig's list and found a mother asking for coat and shoes for her 2 boys, I got those. This Christmas I have found 5 different familes with small children on Craig's and have bought their toys for the children, something apparently these families could not afford this year. I would love to win a big jackpot. I would take the money and first of all help out the loves of my life, the animals. There are so many in our state that are without homes and I would do my best to get those for them. I would then scour the news, papers, whatever to find the next place where I would send my gifts to. I always give to the Salvation Army at Christmas, give to the hungry through our local store, gave to Katrina, worked behind scenes for the people in New Orleans. I just wish I had more so I could give more.

That is great and I am sure the folks who receive are so appreciative. But, it seems to me that if you were doing this from your "heart" you would not be on here bragging about it, just doing it and leaving it at that. I know lots of folks with big hearts who do many things like this and never say a word.

Kind of takes away from the joy of it when you hear someone bragging on themself.

Not bragging, just facts and noticed the chitchat - below about people should be giving to bell ringer

Mother told me that as a child when we went to town I would give my money away to people begging on the streets. Wondered if I "bragged" about this then to my little friends or was this just something that has been my heart for years?

giving??? - wondering

[ In Reply To ..]
giving to a beggar when you are small and talking about it is one thing, listing everything you do on a chat board is quite another. Why not just say that you do these things during the year also instead of listing everything in detail. Read your post. By reading the post, one can easily come to the conclusion that you are "bragging." It is I did this to whom and I did that to whom, blah, blah blah. Takes away from the "joy" don't you think?

So your mother told you that as a child you gave away money on the streets. She told YOU that. Did she tell you to do good things and then go tell everyone else about it? I doubt it. When you do kind deeds for someone, it is not necessary nor is it very polite to bring attention to yourself. You sent someone on this board money. That is great. But, I wonder if recipient appreciates you posting on the public board that you did so.

Sorry, folks who brag on themselves to bring attention to themselves make me want to gag.

Ok, have a Merry Christmas then. Sounds like - Santa

[ In Reply To ..]
you must have a very lousy life to want to rain on others parades. The money sent to the person here was months and months ago. Funny, never mentioned before so I am sure the person never thought another thing about it. Donâ��t gag, have nice thoughts and live a good life. I will continue on living like I do and doing like I want. You sound like a ray of sunshine!

giving???? - wondering

[ In Reply To ..]
No dear I have a great life. You talk about raining on your parade?? What gets me is folks who do kind things and then brag about it which is exactly what you are doing. Sorry to rain on your parade, but helping someone isn't suppose to be about you and your parade.

Also thep erson on the board that you helped just posted her problem in the last week. I saw the post.

You just don't get it. Very kind of you to help folks and everyone should be doing that to their abilities but no you should not be bragging about it. Sorry you didn't get your "pat on the back" but it sure seems like that is what you are looking for.

The OP is kind and generous. You do not know the definition of brag, and by reading your - repetitous posts is not surprising. n/m

Sorry, but you are wrong about the poster last week - Santa time

[ In Reply To ..]
Oh course you donâ��t believe because you seem to be such a downer on life. I also read this week about 2 MTs that were lacking food, etc. Sometimes when I write an email from here offering assistance people do not believe me and do not answer but mine is on the up and up. The only reason I wrote mine was what I saw below about the bell ringers and giving can go on anytime. Have a nice Christmas and get out of the dumps!

you just don't get it do you - giving???

[ In Reply To ..]
This is my last post on this subject. It seems someone never taught you or the original poster any manners.

My point about all this is the fact that the OP feels it necessary to post the LONG details of everything she has ever done for anyone. If she must tell folks the things she has done, why not just say she does random acts of kindness for folks. Why is it necessary to go into great detail about what you do and who you do it for unless you are trying to bring attention to yourself.

Contrary to your opinion, I am not down on life. In fact, if you knew me you would find it to be just the opposite! But what do you know? Many folks, myself included, many random acts of kindess for folks but do not feel the need to explain in great detail to anyone, much less folks they don't even know the "good deeds" they have done. The OP takes great delight in telling everyone how her mother told her that as a child she use to give things away, etc. Apparently, the OP mother did not tell her that it is rude to go around telling others of the good things you do for strangers! The only reason a person would do that is so others would know what THEY did. Don't you think that kind of takes away from the
"spirit" of the act of kindness. It would be more humble if a person just did these kindnesses randomly and shut up about it. If asked about these deeds, less is more. Kind of makes you look stupid when you try and bring the spotlight upon yourself.

that is the end of my comments, obviously some are like the OP and have not been taught any manners.

BTW,Merry Christmas!

I donâ��t know anyone here on this board. My family does not know what all I do. I wrote this in conjunction with the posting I saw below talking about the people taking up for Christmas and the like. Sorry but no one knows the charity I do behind the scenes. I wrote here stating you can do acts of kindness all year long, something that even you might try. Gone to deliver more toys to the kiddies.

santa - giving ????

[ In Reply To ..]
and you are not the original poster either so my "original" post was not directed at you to begin with. Yes you can do acts of kindess all year long. Again you don't know me and if you did, you wouldn't even put your little "snipe" about something you might try! I just don't feel the need to tell folks in detail, as the original poster did what all I have done.

How ironic that you don't like "bragging" publicly but enjoy "berating" pub - Interesting observation

[ In Reply To ..]
I guess you just couldn't let the OP's post, which it appears most enjoyed, go by without trying to tear her down.

So, in your world, it's NOT okay to publicly 'brag' (your word, not mine), but it is okay to publicly 'berate' another human being?

Your upbringing must have been stellar.

bragging - giving???

[ In Reply To ..]
not berating, just stating a fact. I don't understand why you and others don't get it. This is no more than a post to bring recognition to the giver. If it isn't, she sure is going about it the wrong way. Read the posts. I guess just a different world in that folks can't do anything for anybody without bragging about it and calling attention to themselves.

sounds like you could use or do a good deed; just ask or do. - thankfully you are done preaching nonsense.

As it happens I agree with you. I had an opportunity this morning to do an act of kindness that has just warmed my heart all day. To post the details on a public board, whether the person would ever see it or not...and they wouldn't, would take away from my own joy and I'm kinda selfish that way. I am very thankful that the Lord has blessed me such that I can do a little now and then for those less fortunate. I would never think of enumerating every good deed I ever did, fact is I probably couldn't remember what I did and didn't do. My feeling is that the Lord has blessed me such that I am better off than many people and I think HE expects me to share that blessing.

AMEN GP! - giving????

[ In Reply To ..]
I agree with you 100% GP. I can honestly say that after I do something kind for someone I never think about it again. Its not about me, its about HIM! We sure do live in a self-centered "me" world anymore don't we?

[ In Reply To ..]
There is joy in giving and joy in sharing. We do it because we know we are helping others and it makes us feel like we are contributing in some positive way to this negative world and it makes us feel good. Elsewise, we wouldn't be doing it. What's wrong with sharing these positive deeds? I happen to like reading what others are doing to help make this world a better place. It's people like you who make it negative. Naysayers who act holier than thou and like to put others down. Kuddos to the givers whether they post about it or not, the world could use many more of them! I have posted my deeds in a prior post, not to brag but to share and make a point, and yes, it does feel good and I have gained a good friend to boot!

bull - giving???

[ In Reply To ..]
So you can't feel good about your deeds unless you explain in great detail to everyone the whys, what and where of what the good deeds you have done?

Sorry honey, but no matter how you look at it, it is not good manners to do this. Say what you want, but you are wrong.

Twist and turn - Tina

[ In Reply To ..]
I didn't say that the listing is what makes us feel good, but that there is joy in giving and joy in sharing and knowing that we are contributing in some, albeit small, way to make the world a better place and that it is bull that you are saying that you never think about the giving again. That is crap and you know it. It's in the giving that we feel good and in the sharing of our resources, time, talents, etc, and there is not a thing in the world wrong listing those deeds on this forum if one is inclined to do so. The little lady I help knows I would do whatever I can for her whenever I can. Often times I feel guilty that I can't do more but I do what I can as I struggle from paycheck to paycheck myself. I am a helper of the underdog because I am right there with them most times and I would like to think there would be a helping hand extended should I ever need it, and sometimes I get pretty damn close. In listing/posting/sharing the deeds we do perform, it may very well inspire others to do the same. My comment in the previous post was that it isn't just at Christmastime that people need help, but all through the year, and yes I did list some of the deeds I have done of late. What I didn't list is that I have done so for 5 years running, day or night, any day of the week, any month of the year; indeed, anytime she calls me and I am able to get away and/or have a bit of extra cash to spare. As with the other givers, I haven't posted everything I've done nor have they. I didn't want a pat on the back, I didn't want a response, I was just making a point to another basher much like yourself. You can Bah Humbug all you like about people posting good deeds they have done as of late. As for me, I feel good about what I do and don't mind sharing that fact. Indeed, I'd love to read more about what others have done. It may spark some good ideas for the future, like one lady in town that goes to Wal-Mart in the spring and buys all the coats that are on sale for $3 or $4 that are normally $25+ and gives them out the next year in our Coats for Kids program. Why not share that deed/fact...it's a great one and I'm glad she chose to share it!!!

I posted below another message that this just makes me sad to read some of the replies.

I think you are a wonderful person. What I would call a truly good soul. I don't think you are bragging at all, and yes there is a discussion about the bell ringers so I think your post is just fine. What makes me said (and same with some below) is that here it is, the season is upon us. Time for being selflessness and giving whatever we can and then there will be those who post a downer of a reply.

If she/he feels you were bragging that is only her/his opinion. I do not think you were. I wish I could do more too. What I do is very very little (a bag here and there to the food shelter) and money in the bucket for the salvation army at the store, but I'm in a one-income family and very fearful of being out of work, so trying to save anything I can. I live in a town that has no employment (unless your an auto mechanic or nurse). I have no family to fall back on that if something happened they would be able to help. We live in a town where we have no friends or family so is just a very lonely feeling. I wish I could do more. The animal shelters really affect me so much that I cry to know there are abused and unwanted animals.

I too wish I would win a big jackpot. Half my family is out of work. There is nothing I need and I would give it to the needy and animal shelters. Just wish I had some talent that would bring in more than my job wages.

OMG, you brought me to tears.... - blondie

[ In Reply To ..]
To read about someone like you who actually helps people and gives wanting nothing in return. God bless you for going and finding people who need X-mas gifts for their little kids and doing that for them. You will be blessed. The love of your life, animals, is also the love of my life. I love animals too. I think it is wonderful you do so much for not only people but for animals. May God bless you tenfold for all you do. I wish I could afford to do what you do too.

I love the salvation army because they have huge - hearts

[ In Reply To ..]
and most of them volunteer to be out there ringing that bell. I read that the CEOs of companies like United Way made $600,000 last year.... WHAT??? That is horrible!!! How the hell are you going to be a head of a GIVING coorporation and make a crap load of money... not that a CEO should not be paid, but that is excessive!!! I have been using credit cards lately and haven't been giving like I usually do. I usually participate in donating toys to toys for tots and this year I feel horrible because I am actually getting some for my kids. I feel like dirt because I never wanted to be the person that needed help like that, but I sucked it up because my kids come first and I want to see them happy. Thank all of you who donate you time or money to these organizations. I wish all of you people out there with big hearts a very merry Christmas and my deepest appreciation!

salvation army - mt way too long

[ In Reply To ..]
First of all don't you dare feel guilty about taking toys from TFT for your kids! That is what they are there for. Lots of folks who never thought they would need help, need it now.

I am not trying to be negative here, but there are folks out there who DONT need help that make a hobby out of going to these organizations for help. There are many organizations that don't ask for proof of need. I have seen it happen time and time again.

I know this is not the norm, but we have had two cases in our town already this year where the Salvation Army bellringer person stole the money from the bucket he was collecting money in! One of the bellringers stole the money so he could pay someone's bail money! That is pretty sorry.

Gotta be careful out there. I would much rather find a needy family I know and give them the money directly.

Exactly - you'd be suprised where it goes - Katrina survivor

[ In Reply To ..]
Wanna know what happened to the locals (Gulfport, MS) after Katrina? All the clothes that were donated had nowhere to go, nobody was organized to take them - they piled them all in the middle of shopping center parking lots - huge piles of beautiful brand new clothes laying out in the open getting rained on.

The commodities that were donated were snatched up by the greedy - people got in line over and over again, ran and shoved it in a storage unit, and rushed back for more. Nobody kept any track of how many times you got in line. Some people devoted their entire day to running from line to line getting handouts - instead of helping with cleanup or aiding people still trapped out in the boonies. You'd be surprised how many cadillacs and Hummers were in those lines, all day, every day.

The kicker? They only distributed that stuff in metro areas. On the radio they kept broadcasting telling people to stay home. People in rural areas got nada, and nobody made the slightest effort to get anything to them. Out of sight, out of mind.

It certainly opened my eyes to what happens to contributions of help.

My heart was very heavy watching all that and so - Santa time

I tried calling the White House on Friday morning, was thinking why if we can drop food and water to foreign countries, why are these people suffering in one of our cities? There was a message saying the switch board not open and then I went on line and got the fax number for the White House. Typed up a letter, short but to the point and without being nasty, said exactly what I wanted. Being in another state wondered what I could do to help out and hubby said sure could not go and meet people coming in, I would be crying more than them so sought out other avenues concerning Katrina. I keep my television on while working and really hard to work and watch such heartbreak going on.

Have you gone back and read your posts and noticed how much in your posts is referred to "I?"

What are you doing to help others?? Sounds like you feel guilty(sm) - MT in NC

[ In Reply To ..]

We could and should all do things anonymously for others but you know what? A lot of people don't realize other people are doing anything...maybe it will encourage them to follow suit. If we encourage others to also help, many of us can do much more for others than just one or two of us.

mt in NC - spare me

[ In Reply To ..]
Good grief another one that doesn't get it. i do plenty believe me. But never in a million years would I sit and list out one by one the things I do for other folks. You tell me how listing out in detail what a person does is going to encourage anybody? Its nothing more than an effort for the OP to draw attention and praise to herself.

Obviously you never learned manners either since you think the I, I, I, I, I, thing is ok. Geeze I cannot believe the folks with no common manners anymore. Brag, brag, brag!

I just wanted to say - just me/hmmm

[ In Reply To ..]
May God bless you and look after you and your family in these hard times.

Your post really affected me and brought tears to my eyes. I don't know if this is going to come out right, but the part you said about not wanting to be that person who needed help but you sucked it up because your kids come first. All I have to say is bless your soul (heart?), and now I know how my mom and dad felt when we were little and they didn't have a lot of money.

I think giving is the greatest gift anyone can give. They joy it brings to know that you can make other people happy is gift enough.

I wish you and your family a very happy holiday season.

Keep on giving - Tina

in the generous spirit you speak of. It is truly wonderful and nothing wrong with sharing your deeds to help inspire others to do the same. To the posters who wish to bash, shame on them. Hope you have and, indeed, that everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!

I think giving is something that the left hand should not know what the right hand is doing. That's just something that giving from the heart seems to mean, givers give without keeping a record. At least that's how I feel about it.

These are very few of what has been given - Giver

Guess the person who is having such a tizzy fit would be mortified to learn that by my giving $100 to a close friend of mine in dire shape my father in turn the same day gave me $10,000 completely unexpected. Now put that in your pipe and smoke it. Talk about a heart full of hate. You seem to take the prize.

and your point is? Glad for your windfall and things do come back around. But when you gave the original $100 did you tell everyone within listening distance what "you"did? That is my beef. Read the post.

[ In Reply To ..]
I am not stalking and bulllying. Just because I post my opinion as to the fact that it is really bad manners to go on and on about what you have done (you can give ideas without pointing the finger and yourself all the time).

I have plenty of Christmas spirit and I don't need to "chill" with a drink as I do not drink and I do not hate. This attitude just blows my mind that folks think you hate if you don't agree with things they say. Seems to me you are the one that hates because someone doesn't agree with you or gets tired of the I I I I I I stuff.

How about doing what you do (just like many other folks) and keep it to yourself or at least tone it down a bit.

If you were on the receiving end and you may very well be, I can tell you that you would not appreciate it very much if someone did good deeds for you and then went around bragging about it to everyone who would listen.

I guess this is all a mute point anyway. Either you have manners and social graces or you don't. I guess you dont.
