My good deed for the day - What's yours?

Why I ask is because I was on my way to a meeting this morning, rushing out the door with kids in the car, and I drove by two stray dogs. They kept running back and forth across a busy street and no one slowed or stopped. So I stopped, called them over, read their tags and tried calling their home. Not getting an answer after several calls, I contacted the Humane's Society and was asked to take them to my house and leave them in my backyard. I have a station wagon. I was super late for my meeting, but I just couldn't leave them there! So I had to leave a note on the door giving Animal Control permission to go in my backyard and pick them up. The owner finally called me later this afternoon (guess my number was left on caller ID) and I told her what happened. She was very appreciative, although I guess it's $75 for each dog picked up at the HS! Not my fault she didn't answer her phone.

Tomorrow my good deed will be going back to the park and contacting the teen babysitter! Although I don't really think good deeds should be "planned", kwim?

Sure.. the more the merrier. Haha my DH said his good deed is not killing her husband yet for being such a jerk.

my good deed of the day happened at the grocery store. I was leaving the produce section when a young, good looking guy came up and said "excuse me ma'am, do you know what browing sauce is and where I might find it?". Well, I'd never heard of browing sauce so I said no. Not five minutes later, I was looking for a specific olive and three kinds of browning sauce almost fell into my hands. I left my cart there and hunted him down through the store to give him the browning sauce. He was so grateful.

Considering that she didnt even come to OUR wedding, which was very hurtful b/c she is my BF, I think that is a very good deed. She was having a lot of problems at that time and I think she just wasnt able to cope with us being so happy & was jealous of our happiness (we have all been really good friends for about 13 yrs) so she didnt come. But we almost were not friends because of that. But DH and I are going to be the bigger people, and she is our friend, so we're gonna do the right thing.

I'm also forgoing a big V-Day present so that I can use the $$ to go with her to the Spa & get massaged & pedi's for her wedding...DH and I will still go out to eat, but I spent over $300 on his V-Day present, so its a big sacrifice for me to forgo a present from my DH.

But again, she's my BF, so I will do what I gotta do.

luvmykids replied: I returned some phone calls for FIL that he'd been dreading. I admit I did it a little grudgingly at first but when I was done it felt good to have helped him out

amymom replied: This is such a great thread!!! I was at a meeting tonight, and what I came away with was that I would look for the opportunities (no matter how small) to find good things to do for others. And I found this thread. How weird is that?!?!?!?


I gave someone some information that will help her get past an issue she has been struggling with.

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: I'm with Rocky on this one...I let all the kids live today...even though I wanted to remove 2 of them from my world

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: I helped a sweet older couple find the ER.

My3LilMonkeys replied: I went into the dungeon (AKA extremely cold, dark and unorganized file room) to find old employee files for a coworker who was busy.

I'm taking it someone had a bad day today.........

Oh ya, I don't think I did anything today. Not even pick dh a coffee at Tim's, (only because he would have wanted a treat, and we already had nachos and salsa on Thursday and I thought today for sure we'd be having cake or something). I did offer to make him one at home though.
