That's a bummer. No local channels show recaps or anything? What about checking out online? http://www.nbcolympics.com i check there to get the schedules, results, and articles. i haven't looked for any direct viewing links, but maybe there are some on that site. > > 3.

LOL I have been > on both sides. ~ Well, i suppose technically it can take a bit of the spontaneity out of it, but it can still be random, as in not knowing who will be the person you randomly choose to benefit. i like to think ahead of ways i can bless people with kindness, so i can be prepared to do it... like, have a little extra cash in my purse so i can tell the coffee barrista at the drive-thru to treat the next person in the car behind me with a free latte, etc.... car washes are good for this, too So tell me, how have you ramdomly blessed or been blessed? i need some new ideas for this week. ~ pt ~ Blessed be that we can all help to create a world in which we can all be proud to live. ~ Neil McTier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 the news may recap it, but I make it a habit not to watch the news unless the world blew up, and in that case...wellll... We have rabbit ears and we get 15 or 20 stations, the one local we don't get is NBC, which is a huge bummer since all my law & orders are on NBC! We were planning on getting cable again this month so we can start watching the sopranos again next month but hubby came home " reorganized " , as in jobless, Wednesday night so it'll be a while before we get cable again. We don't really miss it though, aside from Sopranos and last year's Six Feet Under. As for being randomnly blessed...Years ago when I only 1 kid we were poorer than dirt. I'm talking so poor we couldn't afford the laundry mat and I washed clothes in the sink and we didnt drive anywhere except for hubby to go to work because we couldnt afford gas, we walked the 1 mile to the grocery store with backpacks and a stroller to tote things home in. Thinking back it was kind of fun, so much less complicated and I was a lot thinner Anyhow, this lady had kind of been going along with us in the store and my oldest, who was 4 at the time asked for strawberries. I looked at the price and said we'd have to hold off on them. She ended up behind us in line and as she was leaving she turned around, quickly shoved something into my diaper bag and left without a word. I thought " what on earth is she doing? Does she want a dirty diaper? " and i looked and there was a $20 bill. I tried to repay it last year when I was at the gas station paying for something or other. The woman behind me had a tiny old car and a young son. This was early in the morning and she was probably taking him to daycare, she had on a uniform from a local hotel. She was counting out gas money in nickels and dimes. I only had $2 extra with me so I gave the cashier the $2 and said " add this to her gas " and left. It wasn't much, but I know what it's like to pay for gas in nickels. Meg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
