Random act of kindness

[scattergun13]

I'm going to do this in the hope that it catches on in some small way. I cannot however, take credit for the idea. SAWMAN actually started it, whether he realized it or not, by sending me something in the mail for no reason at all. Recently I reached out to the membership for advice on a personal matter regarding my k9 and the response was overwhelming and most helpful. In that same spirit I'm going to randomly select a member and send them a small gift just as a way of saying thanks for being good people and for making this site what it is.
If that member so chooses they can reciprocate to someone else, or not. Also anyone can post and send anyone else a small token to demonstrate the solidarity of this MTO family that we all belong to. No one is obligated in any way and I personally am going to try and keep the gift cost to ten dollars or less. Even if it doesn't catch on, I was just looking for a way to thank everyone I possibly could for allowing me to be here. I'm going to send 2 gifts to start, the first goes to SAWMAN in response to his gift to me. The second goes to Aloha, just because. So SAWMAN and ALOHA007 if you could both send me an address, I have something for each of you.
Again, no obligation here, just a way to thank the people who have been there for me.
Sincerely,
Stew...

Just had another idea to get the ball rolling. I will also select one member at random, and make a small donation to MTO in their name. In this case I'm making the donation on behalf of Solomankane.  Soloman helped another friend of ours for no reason at all and I also respect the fact that he serves his country by being in the Italian Coast Guard. Very cool! This donation is for you SK.
Regards,
Stew...

[scattergun13]

Solomonkane, your donation to MTO has just been completed.  my friend.

I like the random donation idea even better folks. It's easy to do and it helps us all, just my 2 cents. SAWMAN and ALOHA007, I can send you something or donate on your behalf as well. Just PM me and let me know. Thanks.

Lastly, at the end of the month, I will make one more donation, in one members name, for an amount that cancels out the donation sites pay-pal fees.

Incredibly awesome of you to do this. The pay it forward and random act of kindness is a great morale booster and shows that there is still faith in humanity. You are a stand up guy Scattergun.

Thank you gentlemen. I recall you both having done it for me in some way or other.

Nevermind, I couldn't wait till the end of the month. I just offset our pay-pal fees on behalf of Grathr and he knows why. I will add an extra 5 dollar donation if Gareth will send us a  picture of himself eating SPAM! The challenge has been thrown down.

mrynnr is a lady. Just putting it out there.

I love RAK. 

I love picking up other peoples bill (not people with me),  just a random table at a resturant, or if I see a kid buying something at the gas station.

MY FAVORITE way to do this is if I see a car window is cracked open,  I paperclip a $5 bill to a note and push it in through the window

Very nice touch Detron, I try and do similar things as well. I still want to see Gareth eat SPAM though...

[scattergun13]

We're only 20 percent away from this month's goal, this is doable. Anybody else want to pitch in 5 bucks to see Gareth eat SPAM? I sense banishment in my future...

This is an awesome idea, and a great way to encourage this kind of behavior.   

Huge thumbs up to Stew for starting the ball rolling here and for everyone who takes the time to brighten someone else's day in real life!

I think I need some history on this first.

That is very generous of you Stew!

sure $10 heading that way now,  did you want this done under his name?  I will wait until I know before donating

[Millhouse]

I've just made a donation to the site, and I would like it to be in honour of Ajo.

Assuming the monthly target is made, and if my name is drawn, I would like the donation prize to go to scattergun.

PS. I would also like to see Gareth eat Spam.

Millhouse, Thank you. I don't know what to say but I'm very honored.
Sincerely,

I recalled reading something on the site where several members talked Gareth into eating some SPAM. That then prompted a movement to see what else they could get Gareth to eat, to which he promptly replied 'NOTHING"! I just wanted to see if we could do it again.
Stew.
PS feel free to make the donation in his name, and thanks to all for getting on board. I'm still floored by Millhouse' post. This is the family that I belong to!

[detron]

since I asked how to do this in the past,  this is the best place to share that knowledge.

if you log-out of MTO  (I know, weird thought)  you can donate to the site and put the name you want. 

so just make SURE you know the name (Capitals, spelling, spaces, etc) I recommend you Copy and Paste it to a text document to avoid goofs


so copy name, paste it somewhere,  log out,  go to donations, and put the name you want in the name box.

easy peasy

[Millhouse]

You are most welcome Scattergun. I am most honoured to be a part of this forum, amongst very fine people.

[detron]

PS feel free to make the donation in his name
