( Monday NO PO) Today is World Kindness Day!

Post by Z is for Zangie » Mon Nov 13, 2023 3:35 am

I am a big proponent of kindness as you all know...One of the coolest Kindness things someone did for me was on one Valentine's Day, I went through the drive-through for coffee and a sausage biscuit before work...and the person ahead of me paid for my order, I was so tickled, especially as I was a bit depressed as I didn't have a Valentine...lol...I personally have paid for people's restaurant bill (a young couple with a baby who apparently thought they had more money in the bank than they did, hey cried when my sister and I paid it) was my favorite, and little kids at the store who want to buy something pretty simple and don't have enough...and I also smile at everyone I meet, and open doors etc. What examples have you had in your life of doing or receiving kindness? What is your favorite? I believe in paying it forward also. I also think it makes a difference i people's lives and our society.

I'm considerably stressed. My cat Finn is missing. The last time I saw him was Saturday night when we went to bed. He was sleeping at my feet. He always comes in early in the morning meowing to be fed, and almost always spends the day asleep on my bed or on his bed. He's also really good about coming when I call him, but he didn't last night. I'm afraid a coyote got him, or maybe a raccoon.

Aw..I am sorry Tarm, hope he turns up, he might...he might hold his own with a raccoon, but not a coyote I don't think. This is why I never have outdoor cats. Something bad always happens to them...he may just be wandering...he has a way to go outside without your help?

I am sorry to hear it- the best I can say is to not give up hope too soon. My parents had a cat when they lived out in the country and maybe once a year during the summer he would disappear for a day or two, but he always ended up back scratching at the deck door at some point. Whether he was taking a vacation or spending extended time up in a tree avoiding a predator we of course never knew.

Yeah, I've been leaving the door cracked open for him into the garage, and he can get out of the garage. I should never have let him be indoor/outdoor, but his former owner let him be in/out and I started the same when I thought they were going to come and get him.

Same. However we lost a couple too. I wasn't as close to them though as I am with Finn.

I have a job interview tomorrow. It's a couple hours away from where I live now so it would probably mean relocating. But it's a good opportunity and moving a little bit into the foothills won't bother me any.

Hope all goes well, best of luck ✅. I'd say 'break a leg', but it's old school talk. I don't believe too many would understand it nowadays

It comes from stage acting. There's a old superstition that it's bad luck to wish someone good luck before a show. So they tell each other to break a leg .
