    It's a tie in my eyes.

    1) bought a dryer for my grandmother
    2) babysat cousins kids for free
    3) loaned money that I never saw again
    4) gave money to send my friends ex bf to Virginia to live with his family when they broke up and she was worried about whether he'd be left on the side of the road or not.
    5) cooked dinner
    6) loaned my car to a person only for them to destroy it and not pay for any of the damages
    7) let people live with me on a daily basis and rarely help out with bills if at all
    8) bought groceries for some people that couldn't afford food and didn't receive food stamps
    9) given blood
    10) took care of them and their kids after they had surgery

    I had a suicidal friend in Oregon and I was in NJ. I was on my cellphone with her and had to get her address from her (she'd taken pills and was pretty groggy) find the # for the local police in her area and get them to her using my home phone while keeping her talking till they got there. She was super pissed at me at first but she had no family out there and I couldn't not do something. She was mad at first but then forgave me. I think that's the nicest thing I've ever done.

    Hmm...I'm typically a "too nice" person every day...usually taken for weakness of course!!
    I'd say the "nicest" thing would have been helping my teenage daughter raise her baby for the first four years....it was hard, family effed off fast and stayed that way, but hubs and I stuck it out, gave them a floor of our house, and loved that baby like she was our own. They are on their own in their own house now, but we'd still jump to do anything for my girls <3

    Idk if it was the nicest thing ever, but it made me feel good.
    It was November and we got a crazy surprise ice storm. Was stopping in at Taco Bell and I saw a homeless guy sitting outside with nothing but jeans and a t-shirt on (as it was sleeting and the wind was brutal). Me and the ex hubs walked in and ordered and I went out and gave him what cash I had left, which was maybe $10. He immediately came in and ordered some food and went back outside to eat (maybe he was self conscious sitting inside, idk). It was sooooo cold out. I took off my less than a month old North Face hooded fleece coat and gave it to him on the way out. My ex hubs was pissed, but he sure wasn't giving up his warm coat. Ugh...anyways, I scrounged up a fleece hat we had in the car too.
    About 30 mins later saw him walking down the highway in the cold sleet. Not sure where he was going but I hope he was a little warmer.

    Brought snacks and water to the homeless, I've given blood, donated to lots of charities, stood up against bullies for people, I try to build people up and make them feel good about themselves on a daily basis <3

    I took care of a woman (years ago) who just miscarried and almost died as a result. Her husband was deployed and wouldn't be able to get back for a week. I sat in her room and let her cry on my shoulder and talk almost the entire shift (each shift unail she discharged)

    One of the guys my brother works with spent a month in the hospital so since we live only ten minutes from the hospital we took the family and my brother and other liaisons there a home cooked meal. When my husband's aunt was dying I took her to meet one of her idols at the rink. I told him ahead of time what was happening so he even made sure to do a little performance for her.

    When I was younger , a kid in my class that had just arrived in USA, had old ripped shoes. So bad you could see his socks and toes sticking out. The next day I gave him a new pair of shoes.

    I buy food for two local homeless dudes almost daily. I don't think they'd eat otherwise. It's not great food, just deli burritos and such; but it's something.

    I let the driver that was turning in that driveway go in front of me. I expect much from the karma gods in the coming days.
