I know, you wannbe me, but there is only one me, alas, sad but true.

Get over it.
digging a tunnel
much easier than building a bridge over you.
 
Me too, lucky. *HUGS*

My blurt:

Sigh. I know it's the right thing to do for me, but I still feel bad about making the decision.
 
I did my good deed for the day. :)

I stopped to get some gas, and while I was putting it in the car, I noticed this elderly man trying to start his (small) truck, and it would turn over, but just wouldn't start. He had to be close to 80.

There was another man with him, a little younger, and after so many tries, and it still wouldn't start, the younger pushed the truck away from the pump, while the older man steered. You could almost see "what now?" going through their minds. It's raining, it's cold, and they're stuck.

I went over there and asked if they needed to use my phone, and handed it over, then stayed with them until the older man got in touch with his daughter (who lived about 40 miles away), and got confirmation that she was on her way to come get them.

He thanked me, and as I walked away, bless him, he asked, "Do I owe you anything?"

"No, sir. Not a thing." I smiled.

It felt good.

You know, if you're not careful you're gonna end up with good karma.
Before you know it, things will start going your way.

Thanks, y'all. :eek:

I offered to take them home, but they lived in the next town over, a good 40 miles away, so they turned me down.

I have this humongous soft spot for the elderly. Don't tell anyone. ;)
