My friend and I stopped in at Walmart so she could pick up a Christmas gift for her parents. It was a semi-large and heavy piece of furniture that I thought may or may not fit in my car. We rolled it out into the parking lot (it was cold and around 9:30pm) and tried lifting it into my trunk. of course it didn't fit. We struggled on what to do, and tried lifting it again to try a different angle even though we knew It wouldn't fit. I want to say thank you to the two amazing people who pulled up and offered to put it in their van and drive it all the way back to my friend's house. You two are amazing people, and it really was a selfless thing to do! Merry Christmas !!

X-Mas Gift Ends Depression

I've been considering writing this letter for years, so please read til the end. My personal gift was much more extensive, but the methods are basically the same.

Years ago I found a way to end my depression caused after years of being permanently disabled in an accident. I "Gifted" a Kidney to a stranger for my own selfish reasons. In this letter, I am advocating the donation of a small part of a Liver. My situation worked well, and I actually saved a man's life. You can save someone's life, at no cost to you, and the reason is your own. Most "Living Donations" come from a person close to the recipient, but they are pleased to have any source.

If you donate a part of your Liver, it will be fully re-grown to it's original size within 3 months. All reasonable expenses will be reimbursed, and you will have a complete testing regimen that will find any problem you didn't know you had, or hopefully prove you don't have. All lost pay is returned to you, and your employer will have no choice but allow you the time off work for the testing and recovery.

After my operation, I had a completely different feeling about myself, which was my selfish goal in the beginning. The fact of knowing I saved a person's life has removed the "dome of gloom" I was living under, which others cannot see. When people ask me how I'm doing these days, now I can tell the truth, as opposed to my usual "Getting by" answer. Did I mention the wonderful feeling of knowing you saved someone's life? I repeat this as it is very strong and comforting. I'm a contributing member of Society again.

I understand that this is a very serious subject, but remember Kaidyn Blair, whose life was saved by a Liver donor before he was a year old, and is now a happy, active little man.

If this interests you, please contact The Trillium Foundation and tell them Greg T. sent you. Merry Christmas to all.

The amazing staff at the Lone Star

My daughter and I went to dinner (friday dec.19) at the Lone Star Texas Grill on Walker road, after we we seated and placed our order an employee came to our table and asked us if it would be possible for us to move to another table because a person in a wheel chair was waiting for a table and ours was one of the tables that can accommadate a wheel chair. we gladly changed seats with no complaints. But is was the staff that went above and beyond to make sure that everyone had a place to sit, with no waiting, we gladly gave up our seats for another, and did not want anything in exchange, but dessert was on the house!!!! Congradulations to the Staff snd Management!!! you deserve it.

scam

Tonight while at at local coffee shop a lady pulled up in a black cavalier with a sunroof...I believe it was a four door. She has short blonde hair, and square glasses, in mid to late 40s. She honestly looked like she was going to cry. She said she was trying to get home from the hospital as her mom was rushed in and she had a stroke and because she was in a hurry she left her wallet at home with her bank card in it and that she lives in Essex. She said she only had a few bucks on her and said she was about to run out of gas and asked if I had a few bucks I could spare. She showed me her gas tank guage and it was pretty much empty. So I had $5 in change andgave it to her. She thanks me and she leaves and I go in to get my order...as im driving home I notice a car sitting on the side of the road and she has other cars stopped. Then i got suspicious as i know that was her. I turn the corner on my street and she gets back into her car and starts to drive and turns the same corner and then parks. So as I'm driving down I decide to turn around and go talk to her. As I pull up to her car she rolls the window down but only half way and I asked her if she was OK and she said yes and that he was trying to get ahold of her sister as she was a few dollars short. I told her that I trusted her and believed in her. Well shes scamming because the street I confronted her on is farther then highway 3 from where I fist talked to her. So don't give this woman cash. Be cautious and I'm thankful I only gave her $5 and not more (although I literally had no more). And to the lady who is doing this, if your reading this...shame on you for doing this. People try to help each other out and try to see the good in others but you make it hard for people to believe those who truly are almost stranded.

The generous customer at justice

I'm a manager at justice and today a girl lost her $20 she had set aside to buy herself a beanie boo. We were all searching for it, but unfortunately came up short. Mom decided that she would give her more money so she could buy herself the beanie boo. In the long line there was a customer who was purchasing multiple gift cards. She purchased one for the little girl and said "merry christmas" as she handed it to her. Mom was so moved that she was in tears. And I have to admit, I had to hold mine back. To that customer, you have been spotted. Thank you for making not only my day, but theirs as well. Working in retail over the holidays can be frustrating at times, but days like these make it so worth it!
