We should do a Pay it Forward Kinda Day... (Page 2)

I find it interesting that some people (generalizing here) make it as big of a self back-patting venture about NOT making any good deeds public while vilifying anyone who DOES make any good deed public. It seems that there should be an award show on who did the most and the biggest good deeds but kept silent about it, as if the ONLY reason they kept silent was to feel somehow superior to those that might have said something about their own deeds.

The pendulum swings hard one way and then the other way.

Here's an idea: who cares why and what someone else did, lets just be glad that someone was helped in some way, be it a silent and unknown way or a public way. It's like watching jr. high politics and all the cliques are bunching up but they're all snubbing their noses at the others while thinking their own clique is somehow superior...it's NOT, you're ALL being pretentious little snobby shits! ~gives out a collective slap to the back of the head to all pretentious clique shits~

s'ok 🙂

lol..this comment brought to you from a crab who stayed in an abusive relationship for 15 years and didn't have the brains to leave after the first year, has her claws so far stuck up some of the Scorpio's asses around here because she can't make friends in her own forum and wishes she could be a Scorp. I'll give it to you..pour some of that bananna boat in there, elle will be happy to share 😉

Aahhhhh people just ignore the negative one...she loves to be fecking miserable!


Where i come from they are known as *farty* people or *sad old gits*

*FARTY PEOPLE OR SAD OLD GITS*

Anyway ~ i gave up my chocolate magnum and gave it to my son, even though he had forgotten it was in the freezer lol 🙂

You looking for a pat on the back? Bend over..there's plenty of lube going around.

Wow, Lib, that was pretty damn low. Didn't hurt ME, but your shit just slapped you smack in the face. You didn't like my comment because it hit too close to home? Why did you take such personal offense when it wasn't a personal attack? What does my marriage or divorce or my good feels for scorpios have to do with the topic? NOTHING. ~clap. clap. clap~ Bravo, you just made Denver look semi human.

Was that an attempt at a Scorp comeback? smh...
..no it's just odd that the wannabe cowards like you who creep into a thread when it's just about died off. You pick the clique's responses that you so desperately want to belong to and do whatever it takes to feel that acceptance. It's pathetic crab. I own everythng I say in these forums, especially when it comes to the truth. But I do thank you for the applaud. If you are going to play shit clique wannabe, that's just fine with me. The more the merrier. 😉

...it's always good to take notes.

This is totally off topic, but it says a lot about a person who will sit back like some nasty crawly thing in the sewer while they silently take notes on your life and then use it against someone. Did I make a mistake in who I married? Yep. I'm human, what can I say. Did I learn anything from that experience? Heaps and loads, and I don't plan on making the same mistake twice. I'm sure you, LIB, have made a few choice mistakes in your life, too, because you're human. However, I won't ever tell you you're an idiot, stupid or an asshole for being human. I'll call you out when you pull a shitty asshole move on someone, and I'll respect you when you make sense and have a good point. Maybe my sense of fairness is will be my downfall someday but it's how I am and I don't tend to change it. I hope whatever shitfest in life that is currently making you act like a raging PMSing rhino eases off for you, because you're not a lot of fun when you're acting this way.

I don't play cliques and never have. Keep up the name calling. Anything else you want to add while you're hitting below the belt? Go ahead, make it a crotch kick while you're at it. I'm a big girl, I can take it. As for wanting to be anything or anyone I'm not? Well, you don't know me at all, so keep trying...So far I'll give you a huge water fail on using your instinct and intellect to figuring a person out.

What are my reasons, oh "masterful mind reader"? I didn't state a reason. I simply made a statement and an opinion. I'm completely free to do so. Victim? No. Are you projecting now? What did I get a dishful OF, and for WHAT? Come on, use your big girl words.....

Ehh ... at this point, yeah.

Like, who cares if people only donate to good causes for the tax break?

The bottom line is: they're still donating and the needy benefit enormously.

Removing the tax break would take help away from those who need it the most.


However-- this thread was based on (or inspired by) another thread discussing Karma.

Which (to the best of my knowledge) covers both the Act and the Intent behind it.

And I'm going to stand by my original comment because it wasn't intended to necessarily dispute the OP, so much as to add to the frickin discussion.

If that is still possible. 😐


And ...

I qualified it.

Because it is-- it isn't always easy to do right thing, much less go above and beyond what is required.

Every day. Anonymously.

Telling someone what you did isn't the deal-breaker--

Doing it for the express purpose of boasting or personal gain?

That's something else, entirely.

Corporations do it all the time: Buy our stuff because LOOK AT ALL THE NICE SHIT WE DO!

May they rot.

It comes down to motive/intent-- and it's something worth thinking about.

I agree completely, but I also see two very divided camps out there in the world: the ones who pat themselves on the back for giving and make a big deal about it and those that get self righteous for not making it public

I agree completely, but I also see two very divided camps out there in the world: the ones who pat themselves on the back for giving and make a big deal about it and those that get self righteous for not making it public. In the end, if you're getting self righteous about anything you've completely missed the point in the first place, which is inner growth and giving. When it all comes down to it, though, the good deeds for any personal reason that they're done, benefit someone else and hopefully made the world a little brighter.

"I have come to the conclusion that charity is only charity when you give goods, services or money without personal gain, benefit or recognition of any kind. True charity is anonymous. It begins and ends within your self."

It's so small!

Acquired this today too

It's a cutie!!

Gopher snake? Cutie! My kids would insist we keep it as a pet.

@LIB, about 15" long I'd estimate. Inch in diameter at best, so it is young. Snappy little bugger!

@MoonArtist: Northern Dekayi - I raised one from a baby a number of years back.

It is full grown, could get fatter, not any longer though.

As for the turtle - it is in my Little Tikes kiddie house - the dogs enjoy looking in the windows at it. Funny as shit, they're like little kids.

I had to google it. Cool snake! I've never seen one out here in the West. All of our snakes are pretty big, other than king snakes, and even they can get biggish. Lots and lots of rattle snakes. Someone in the last 5 yrs or so caught and killed an 8 ft. long rattler. They donated the skin to a local ranger station and it's on display. Sort of sad, actually.

@TS

I'm also a fan-- it's good stuff. 🙂

I started this thread because I was inspired. The Karma thread was a good one but I am superstitious and so could not post on it. I decided that what I could do was redirect my energy to something good and kind and decent. So I did.
It was intended to send little ripples out throughout all corners of this world. This is what we are here for. Talk about it? Don't talk about it? It doesn't matter at all to the end result. Those kids will remember me for a long time because of my pay it forward yesterday. They will also remember all the other things I have done which I haven't discussed here on this forum. If the situation arises though, I will gladly pass it. My good energy passed on makes good energy for you and etc... this is how it works.

To IS, Lil, Moon, TS and whoever else that understood what I was getting at, I thank you.
Monty, I understood what you meant.
TS? Libra Venus 😭 HaHa! Loved that comment

Lib? I wont even bother.

*Star... cant forget you! Lol 😄

Whatu, guys like you that will help with moving are a godsend {says the kinda small woman that doesn't have a boyfriend to help that thinks she can lift lots but really can't. Lol}
I hope your back doesn't feel too bad today.

I know right? That negativity is going to come back and bite them in the ass someday. Lol

Hugs to you too Sister!

Lib? I wont even bother.

So it was directed to my first statement..thanks for answering. Go figure..10 pages later..Hey..Don't worry...elle made an attempt for you. After reading this delayed response, all the above I's, the me's and the my's, have actually helped the point that was brought up by the three people who simply made a statement and a quote, (in a decent manner) that clearly still don't get. Which is a shame.

Charity/donations/good deeds/paying it forward does NOT mean:

IT'S ABOUT YOU
A CALL FOR RECOGNITION FROM OTHERS SEEKING A PAT ON YOURBACK
An outward sense of ENTITLEMENT TO BRAG ABOUT IT TO OTHERS ABOUT WHAT YOU did

You can go on for 10 more pages to try and justify why YOU should....why do that?
That's what FACEBOOK is for. It's YOUR home and little piece of the web that entitles YOU and YOUR greatest achievements that YOU can demand attention for.

This is a public forum where people from all walks of life, including those who know what paying it forward means and that it comes from within & stays there. Three people attempted to point that out in decent way in three different ways pretty much all in sync.

Those who took offense to that including YOU prior to bolting, decided to single out one of the three of which all refused to pat you and the others on the back, making your energy not so good, which ultimately dictated the direction of YOUR thread..forgetting it's not FACEBOOK..but hey, there's a lot of members here who forget that too. Happens a lot.

Although elle ran with the negativity you directed & mapped out, you should actually be commending her for a job well done in your honor. Don't know if it gave you the fuzzies inside, but if it did..wonderful. Post that achievement on Facebook.

Anyway...thanks for answering page 2's question. It's appreciated.
Have a very nice holiday weekend.

I was responding to the OP's accusations...

Posted by FixedWater
Why must you put a negative spin on it.. I do this kind of thing everyday and all the time. There are many that don't and this was a good reminder that life isn't always all about serving self.

Take your negative, high handed BS somewhere else.

AND THIS

Posted by FixedWater
Just lookin for a battle, aren't you. In a thread about doing something nice for someone else. Tell me Lib, why does it bug you so much?

Then you dropped in...after she bolted.

Lol... I was at work and am now going back to work.
Lib, you were just dying to jump on me and watching this thread like a "hawk" as you so clearly stated.

I love hearing stories about random acts of kindness and I love to be a part of them. I also think that its important to teach and I'm just not sure how you go about doing that when you stay "Mum" about what you've done for someone.

You don't like me and that's totally fine with me. I do not take myself all that seriously and your desperation to prove me a bad person is falling on deaf ears. Enough of us have been bullied and abused by you and I think maybe its time you take some of your own advice and ask yourself why you feel you need to run roughshod over this entire forum.

Oh, and btw? It is a Forum, where we come to talk about stuff, all kinds of stuff, right? Or am I confused on the purposes of Dxp?

This was your answer and it can be found on Page 5

*Oh dear, I better clarify the watching the thread like a "Hawk" was a bit of a typo. I don't have time to go back and look, but if memory serves you said something like you were watching this thread to see who IF anyone responded. You were so very happy Montgomery and Exo responded the way they did and then proceeded to bring them into your battle. I wonder how they feel about that?
Anyway, the watching like a hawk were my words and I am sure you catch what I'm pitchin.

...and then this on Page 6

You're desperately grasping at straws Lib.

I recommend a raunchy but good fuck session to help alleviate all that pent up anger you have. Failing that, since you may not have a partner that's willing, I can also recommend a stellar toy.
