I cannot believe what just happened to me.
Every year our friends raise $ for Multiple Sclerosis for a good friend of ours. There is a walkathon we've been participating in for 10 years for her and we've raised thousands over the past years.
Today I was wearing my jacket with the $1000+ club logo on it. A man on the street waiting at the same light as me asked what it was for. I told him it was fundraising for MS and I got it the year I raised over 2500$ He pulled out money and just handed me a $20 for my walk next month and wished me luck. I was flabbergasted. So touched and so grateful. I thanked him a dozen times. Fundraising is hard every year, some people I can never convince to donate or participate and thats fine. But this random man on the street giving me $20? Heartwarming.
Small random acts of kindness people. I will be paying it forward.

That's so awesome! It's always great when a random act of kindness brightens your day.

So yes and no. The adults wake up slowly and begin to talk but often don't remember and I have to answer the same question a bunch of times. Kids often go from sound asleep one minute to standing up awake the next. The drugs they give often make it so you won't remember a lot going in and waking up, which is good, but it can leave you with some funny stories lol
Oh man H was HILARIOUS when he came out of surgery in december. He constantly tries to get naked (he apparently did this as a kid after knee surgery too) and he kept telling me he had a secret and when I leaned over he would grab my boob.
I had my tonsils out last month and I remember them giving me something in my iv on the way to the OR and I asked what it was and they said "something to make you not care you are going into surgery." Within seconds I was relaxed and half asleep. Then they held the mask over my face and told me to breathe deep. I was remember thinking "this thing won't put me to sleep" and then I woke up lol

This is wonderful! I am in the leadership of our local Relay for Life. I have been involved for so long that I could wear a different t-shirt for a month. Since, it is pretty regular that I am wearing something Relay related, I get to hear wonderful stories. I have never been given money like that, but it is nice to know that the hard work we are doing, is making a difference in people's lives.
I agree, fundraising is hard to do year after year. At this point, people know that I am doing it, and where to donate, so I don't push hard. I just post my link as the event gets closer. The money is great, but I would rather people come and experience the event, they can spend money when they get there and it still goes to the cause.

Just got an a phone call from my boss that my timecard was short 15 minutes last week. Why, because apparently I just like to enter random times without looking. Because i'm special.
Well I went and got 3 pairs of dress pants and two new skirts on my lunch break. The clerk said, "Oh you must need to get dressed up for something." Very astute of you.
I am also dying over all of these post-op stories.
Good luck starbuck27! We were in a similar situation when we bought 3 years ago. We bought a condo instead of a single family. It wasn't what I had imagined for our first home but it has been really great. And with minimal updates we are in a great position for re-sale now!
I'm going crazy trying to find contractors and companies to get quotes from. I get a little obsessive with reviews and stuff.
I put in requests for two companies for a deck. Waiting to hear back on those. We will probably get one more so I need to find a third company. We also need to replace our basement windows with glass block. We've been talking about doing that for years but definitely need to do it before a deck goes in. Also, if we do put in a deck, we need to find a tree company to cut down a couple trees. Gotta love spring!
We ended up getting 5 quotes when we did our furnace/air conditioner/water heater project two years ago. My H spent more than a month doing research on companies and reading reviews, etc.
It pays off, though. The few times we haven't put that much research into things we've been disappointed with the results.
It's made 10x worse by the fact that I'm going out of town again next week for work, so I'm really only here for five days.
Before we left for Vegas we realized our Jeep has a huge gouge in the paint on the rear lift gate. I'm 90% certain it's from the last time we went to my parents' house.
The story is amusing, so I'll share it with you guys...
Ever since I moved out my dad, sister and brother have all sort of become gun nuts. I have no idea why, really. My brother is also in the Navy. So a few weeks ago he was up visiting my parents on leave and we all got together at their house. Now, my parents live waaaaaay back in the backwoods of this rural county (i.e. a mile from any paved roads, and 5 or 6 miles from the closest thing to a town), so it's pretty middle of nowhere and they don't have too many neighbors. Which makes it an ideal place for randomly shooting guns.
Somehow they got these explosive targets. After blowing up a few small ones, they (my brother, his friends, my dad) decided to overfill one of these targets and put it in a washing machine to see if they could blow it up.
They did. The result was washing machine shrapnel raining down all around the house and a boom that shook the entire house like a small earthquake. H was outside with the guys and he told me that a piece of shrapnel had come *that close* to the back of the Jeep.
I'm guessing now, based on the huge gouge in the paint, that it wasn't *that close* and actually did hit the Jeep. Now I get to deal with my insurance company.
