Sorry for the duplicate information.

So we can all go back to being self-involved, mean and hateful tomorrow?

Thank God.

Well, DUH, that's it. I was looking for the button when on the "view all forum topics" main page. I forgot you have to go to a topic page before the button will show up. See, I told you I don't start many new discussions here. Ha!

Okay, I'm going to go ahead and do this for you all. "Pupwhipped, you're an idiot!" HA! You know.....if the shoe fits.

Thanks so much to everyone for replying. Wishing you all a wonderful random acts of kindness day!

I'm sorry but I think this is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. First of all I seriously doubt that the clerk at the Mc Donalds window does anything with that money that is left but pockets it 90% of the time. And who is to say you aren't giving your money to buy a coffee for a multimillionaire? I prefer to direct my donations to where they are needed. My random acts of kindness are much more likely going to go to homeless or terribly poor in my community or if I would see a soldier I may buy his/her meal.

Lol!  Yes but tomorrow we won't have an excuse to announce our good deeds and pat ourselves on the back.............

While discussing various groups to donate (or not) to, a friend of mine said  (paraphrasing) "in the end it's not about where the money ends up, particularly if the donation isn't a large one, it's about what was in your heart when you gave it - you have no control over what others do with it".

I thought he made a good point.

Uh, this exact thing happened to me about six weeks ago. I pulled up to the McDonad's window to pay and was told the vehicle in front of me had just paid for my order. I said, "Wow! Okay, then I will pay for the one behind me." My order was only a $1.13 (I buy too many large Diet Cokes there, ha!) and the order behind me was like $4.50. The attendant looked at me like "you got the short end of that stick." I told her that was just the luck of the draw, and drove off feeling good that day.

NONE OF US can ever be 100% sure our donations are going where we intend. All we can do is feel good about the giving.
