So, I'm leaving work and another old and long time female coworker stops me. She calls me son, I call her Ma. She's a season ticket holder and she hands me her ticket to the game tomorrow, with a, "Merry Christmas, Son!" I was like, "Wow! Thanks Ma!"

Another older lady and fellow coworker says, "That was so sweet. I wish I could do that for my grandson. He's never even been to a Chiefs game."

I looked at her, looked back at Ma knowingly, she nodded and smiled, and I walked over to the woman, handed her the ticket and said, "Merry Christmas. Make it special for your grandson."

What an odd day. At this rate, I may show up to the gathering tonight and kiss EnDelt or something.

Eeeuuwww. I may have to stay home now.

Seriously though, that was a very nice gesture on your part.

I know. It's so out of character for me. I feel al Scrooge-like after the 3 ghosts have visited me and stuff.

How sweet! Are you sure you weren't watching someone else do this?

**luv** · 12-24-2005, 01:07 PM

Okay, I was, like, deathly ill this week (at least, I thought so). Anyone want to do the right thing and come help me with my laundry, dishes, and taking out my trash? C'mon. You know you want to.

Dolly? She looked like a cloned sheep?

I had a better offer from a rather, shall we say, well endowed young lady. Actually, well endowed isn't really a good description. Lets just say with the pair of lungs she was sporting, she had no problems breathing whatsoever.

Maybe next time.

You gave up a night up great fun with a bunch of guys like us, to spend one evening in carnal debauchery with a well-endowed lady?

Good to see you have your priorities straight....

You must've fallen asleep watching TV or something.

Ask End about his loud proclamation at the bar last night....depending on where you were in the bar, it either sounded like he was "outing" Russ, or proclaiming his love for Russ for ordering a Perrier....

Its almost a month until Christmas, with Thanksgiving around the corner. While my
situation has changed, the need for common good will has not. I was reminded of this thread and the time to recharge myself to do this by the forthcoming of the Kansas City Secret Santa.

I encourage each of you to think about what you can do to help someone else as we enter winter, and the holiday season. There are things you can do, that won't cost money.

1. Help someone plastic their windows.

2. I found the gift cards to the elementary guidance counselors very, very well recieved last year and plan on doing this again, and possibly recruiting some others to buy one or pitch in to do even More. If you have the means, please consider calling your local guidance counselor, offer them a gift card, to use to purchase coat-boots-shoes-snow pants for a struggling family. I guarantee every one of them will have an immediate idea of the best use. They can take them with a parent, make the purchase, and make sure it is used for its intended purpose.

3. I've joined a group in my area, and will be for the first time helping deliver some thanksgiving meals for 3-4 families.

I'm sure others have great ideas, that can be linked here.

I may very well try to build on the idea of the gentleman from KC and try the "$20 secret santa" someday.

The company where I work does what's called "Christmas in October." It's an organization that helps the elderly/impoverished/ill with home fix-ups. This year was the first year I got involved. It's amazing how much work 20 people can do on a house in a day. We painted, caulked, fixed a couple of broken windows, cleaned and repaired gutters, fixed a leaky faucet... well, you get the idea. She was so appreciative and we all felt great lending a helping hand.
