Good Deed

Recommended Posts

;) Great reply & Great Thread, I thank her for starting it. :)In his beat up pontiac
When a sweet old lady flagged him down,
Her mercedes had a flat
He could see that she was frightened,
Standing out there in the snow
'til he said i'm here to help you ma'am,
By the way my name is joe
She said i'm from st. louis,
And i'm only passing through
I must have seen a hundred cars go by,
This is awful nice of you
When he changed the tire,
And closed her trunk
And was about to drive away,
She said how much do i owe you
Here's what he had to say
You don't owe me a thing, i've been there too
Someone once helped me out,
Just the way i'm helping you
If you really want to pay me back,
Here's what you do
Don't let the chain of love end with you
Well a few miles down the road,
The lady saw a small cafe
She went in to grab a bite to eat,
And then be on her way
But she couldn't help but notice,
How the waitress smiled so sweet
And how she must've been eight months along,
And dead on her feet
And though she didn't know her story,
And she probably never will
When the waitress went to get her change,
From a hundred dollar bill
The lady slipped right out the door,
And on a napkin left a note
There were tears in the waitress's eyes,
When she read what she wrote;
You don't owe me a thing,
I've been there too
& Someone once helped me out,
Just the way i'm helping you
If you really want to pay me back,
Here's what you do
Don't let the chain of love end with you
That night when she got home from work,
The waitress climbed into bed
She was thinkin' about the good deed,
And what the lady's note had said
As her husband lay there sleeping,
She whispered soft and low
Everything's gonna be alright, i love you, joe

Wow, there are some catty ass people in this thread.

I wonder how many catty responses this would have engendered from the women if she were not young and hot.

Just as I wonder how much more catty the responses from the men would have been had it been a guy posting.


No particular point, just something I've wondered about a lot on dz.com.......when a woman is hot enough, the men will overlook any behavior and the women will condemn all behavior. (Guess I should insert MANY before the "men" and "women" in that sentence).

Can you post a picture, please? So that we will know whether to condemn your behavior or not.

:P

(And seriously, I have not made the same observation that you have.)

**shrug**

Let's just say I spend a lot more time reading than posting.

And I am not hot enough to get away with the crap that some do, nor to inspire jealousy from the insecure group.

Oh, and I also don't care at all whether or not someone on the internet "likes" me. :D:D

Well you should be able to spot them:D:D:D



I find it odd the amount of people who come onto these forums and feel the need to tell the world about how they did something good for someone.
It might just be a Yank thing, as i dont see it in other forums that i visit as those are not populated by a majority of USofA folks.

But here in OZ as a rule we dont go around telling people about the "Good Deeds" we do.

It's just odd:S

Yeah, me too. I guess we just perceive things differently.

Yes, many good deeds, but as the story goes, don't let your left hand know what your right hand did ....

Umbrellas are useless in downtown Chicago more often than not. He would have been better off with a towel, a jacket or a sandwich if he was truly homeless. Your umbrella is probably already in a trash can.



Yeah - maybe she should have shot him instead, and saved everyone a lot of unneccessary inconvenience.

Good for you. Not only did you make yourself feel good but, at least momentarily, brightened his day. Encouraging others to "pay it forward" is nice. Hope you continue to do so.
The strong can always afford to be gentle, It is only the weak who need to "give as good as they get."

So, are you calling Squeak an ugly fat chick? He agreed that good deeds should just be done and not bragged about. I'm also in agreement with that. If one is saying "look at me, look at me" after they've done a good deed, did they really do it unselfishly for the other person or did they do it to feel better about themselves or to try to impress others?

Just my thoughts as an ugly, fat chick. :P

So, heh, you gave up on bashing her, but then had to get one more dig in and went all the way to what you consider the other extreme . . .

Please, tell us how you really feel.

These good deeds and selfless actions, that people talk about do often inspire others to try their own good deeds. I don't see the harm in that.



I completely agree with that. I’m no stranger to making “all about me” posts, and I’m sure I’m a strong contender for being one of the louder posters about my good deeds (how many JFTC posts did I make?) Do the ends justify the means? What’s a little self-absorption if it benefits people? People can always choose not to listen/read/etc.

We are all guilty of self-advertisement, and I don’t think that’s what people have a problem with. I think it’s when that seems to be the sole purpose of this strange, dysfunctional community to some. I have been and can be loud/obnoxious/self-absorbed online, but that is and how I have been in person as well. I have used this community to learn more about and stay connected to my favorite sport. Even people that I have heated arguments with online, I have met up with and chatted with in person. When someone makes getting attention their sole priority for this site, they shouldn’t be shocked when they get it, good and bad.
