What did you do yesterday? What will you do today? What could you do for someone you don't know?
I had a guy come to me and ask to pawn his tools for some gas money to get home and see his family. Normally I am skeptical about such stories, but something inside told me this was ok. I told the guy to keep his tools and consider the money a gift. The only thing I asked was for him to help another if thought he could.

I tipped a girl at Sonic Drive-Thru $2 even though all she did was bring me a bag of food. I always try to tip everyone well, even the pizza delivery guy. As I see it, these people are severely underpaid, and many of them are trying to work their way through school or just make ends meet. It's the least I can do to tip someone well when perhaps they don't even expect it, even if I do earn very little.
I figure it's better to spend money that way than on something superficial, like diamonds, jewelry, and designer hand bags, for example.

Always follow your feelings in a situation like this but be careful.
The last thing I did for someone I do not know was in church. We have a giving tree every year during Advent, with names of children and adults that cannot afford a Christmas. I always take two names from the tree and buy whatever it is they have requested, especially the children. It is safe, and a nice thing to do, and since it is sponsored by our church, I know the families are really needy and will be able to have a nice Christmas. Always help others whenever you can weather you know them or not. But just be careful.

The answer? To sit here and go through these questions and try to send some knowledge to people who are in dire need of some advice. Also to some who are so stupid that they have to be reminded to breath. It is unreal some of the questions listed here but I do what I can for those who need a little help.

I always put change in meters that have expired and have cars in the space. It's a cumpulsion. I can spend so much money doing this, but I can't help myself.

A guy came up to me and asked for five dollars to buy a lunch. He smelled of smoke and booze so I took him in a sandwich shop and bought him soup, sandwich and a coffee.
