Damned Kids These Days!

[ThomCat]

I had to mail a package this morning. It's my clothing for the trip I'm taking next week. I can't haul luggage, so I have to ship my stuff in advance.

The post office is only 2 blocks from my house, but there's no way I can carry a box and walk on crutches at the same time. Can't be done.

There's a high school across the street from me. I flagged down a couple of the kids and offered $10 to anyone who would carry the box 2 blocks for me. Several kids stopped and argued over who would help me. One kid Insisted he'd take care of it and shooed the others to school.

He carried the box for me, and then refused to take the $10.

Damned Kids these day! :P

1. Sounds like a good start to the day

Glad to hear it, friend. :hug:

[ThomCat]

8. I have to say

it often sucks needing people's help so often for so many things I can't do. But I really, truly appreciate the kind people who do offer help.

It's frustrating when people pretend they can't see me when I can't get a door open. But the good people more than make up for the apathetic ones.

2. *eeeeee!*

:D :pals:

[ThomCat]

10. Yup! I was grinning on the way to work.

I love running into good people. :D

:hi:

3. aw hell - here I was revving up for ripping them new ones...

I am so glad that you found someone to help you...

:hug:

[ThomCat]

12. It definitely started the morning off right.

:hi:

Definitely no need to rip anyone this morning. :)

4. There are some great ones out there

Thanks for sharing - that's a day - brightener!

[ThomCat]

13. Absolutely. It's nice to be able to post

something nice. :)

5. Fucking kids....

Always doin' good like that...

What's the world coming too...

[ThomCat]

14. Seriously! If we can't reasonably expect teenagers

to be demonspawn, what's the world coming to? :P

[Gormy Cuss]

6. The insolent lout.

Sounds like someone raised a child with empathy.
:hi:

[ThomCat]

15. That was my thought too. That kid was raised well

and probably has good friends too. Good kids tend to come in groups of good kids. :)

7. Glad to hear it, Thomcat. :-) nt

[ThomCat]

16. I'm glad to be able to share it. I love when good stuff happens.

9. My dear ThomCat!

Well, what a fine thing that is!

Lifts my heart, it does, sweetie...

Thanks for telling us about it!

Damned Kids, anyhow!

:hug:

[ThomCat]

19. People bash that highschool because it's a vocational highschool

instead of an honors high school. I've only ever had one problem with any kids from that highschool. Overall, they're good people. :)

I really think all the teen-bashing in our culture is part of the conservative effort to make everyone afraid of everyone else. :shrug:

[BarenakedLady]

11. Awww

Humanity isn't quite dead.

[ThomCat]

20. No, definitely not.

:)

It's nice to see.

17. You got me, ThomCat!

I was already to cut and paste my latest discovery of a wretched urchin!

Okay, I'll post it anyway! :D

21. That's because the ref was Blind!

What the hell was he thinking? :P

[MissMillie]

18. nice to see you can count on the kindness of strangers

:thumbsup:

[ThomCat]

Yes. As often as I depend on them, I'm glad that strangers

are usually pretty good people. I've picked up a talent for talking to people in public and finding the good ones. :)

[PVnRT]

22. What an asshole

Showing that stereotypes are wrong. Prick.

[ThomCat]

23. Totally! How does he expect to get ahead in life

if he doesn't learn to be a mercenary prick? x(

:P

[lost-in-nj]

24. AWESOME

see things are turning around all ready...


:bounce: :hi:



lost

[ThomCat]

28. Being able to go on this trip

definitely helps turn things around. :)

I'm am really looking forward to this. :woohoo:

Speaking of which, I have to remember to refill all my meds before I go. Can't risk running out.

[VenusRising]

25. What a lovely morning treat!

There really are angels among us....sometimes.

I'm glad you got a little slice of goodness this morning.

:hug:

[ThomCat]

29. I hope that kid got some good feedback from his friends.

He wouldn't take my money, so I hope he got some other kind of emotional reward for being a good kid. He definitely deserves it. :)

[auntAgonist]

26. Kids....

Just when you least expect it eh?


May he be rewarded ten fold.

I'm so glad it worked out for you Thom.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and enjoy your trip!
