Respecting his privacy, I'm not mentioning names, but I opened my email to find that someone here had sent literally everything on my wishlist as a gift.

A huge, huge thank you to this person.

Just when the news makes you think the worst of humanity, someone has to come along and make it all seem reasonable again. :)

That's a very nice thing to have happen.

Way kewl!!!

Good for you Sean. Feels good to know someone thinks well of you, yes?

It's nice to know there still are kind people out there.

Indeed it is. And probably the best way to handle this is to pass it on, so someone out there... watch out. heh heh heh

We could even make this a running thing, from member to member to member.

someone bought me a gift certifacte over at DAZ a few months ago..it was actually embarrassing, but pretty cool.  Embarrassing because I can pay for my own stuff..at least every now and again if I don;t pay my bills.

Humanity is a weird,quirky lot.  Just when the light at the end of the tunnel seems to be an on-rushing train...something happens to make you realize it's just someone offering you a candle in the dark night of the human spirit.

Paying forward is the way to live.  It's so easy to forget we're all related in one small human family on a small rock orbiting a small candle in the vast dark night of the universe.

This morning on my way to work, I stop in at a mini mart to get cigs and soda for work every day. There was a lady with a small child behind me who was getting a coffee for her self. Since I had an extra $2 I bought her coffee and her kid's OJ.  I did this cause I know how hard it is with a small kid to get things in the store.

I hope that when she is in a similar situation she does the same.

Joe is that an original saying?  It is really good.  I am very impressed with that if it really is your original thought and way of wording it.
Love esther

Yeppers, my original thought.  Or in other words....I'm not the light--I'm just the lens the light flows through.  That's me. Clear as glass and easily broken. :laugh:

Well, I have my own shoutout here. In an earlier thread, I had mentioned that I had lost use of my MyBook external drive due to virus issues I had a while back, and another member who is technically-oriented PMed me and gave me some tips out of the blue. Several PMs.

So a big thank you to Hio.
