Here is a little story of mine to get things started. This is what inspired me to start this.
I was talking in another thread about a popular product. I said samples were not available in the UK and due to the potent nature of it was reluctant to buy it otherwise. Out of the blue I received a PM from 'Bruce' aka D2footballjrc saying he would send me some.
Initially I thought he must have forgotten that I was located in a different country so I kind of dismissed it. When I told him I was in England he said he would check shipping fees and send me his tub for free if I covered shipping, which I agreed to.
So, a few days later he posts a picture online of the box he has sent me. It includes other products and many other samples, this is extremely generous as the total cost in the UK would be equivalent to over $100 (at a guess). Although this was not in the agreement my plan was to send him some extra money via PayPal as a thank you to reward his act of generosity. Here is the conversation which followed;
After some thought I realised that every idea I came up with defeated the object, it stopped it being 'random' so..
My first 'random' act of kindness came when I saw a pregnant girl carrying a lot of bags through her workplace. I stopped what I was doing to take them from her and carry them on her behalf. This was the first act of kindness which was truly random.
Lets keep the good karma flowing. What have you done today?

Brucey can you PM me your PayPal email address please?
Don't have one, darn it. Just enjoy bro! Its my random act of kindness for the month. I try to do that randomly. Pay it forward to someone else. Buy someones tea randomly or something! The wife and I both have decent jobs and are really blessed. If you really feel the need to pay something give it to a local church or charity. It would serve them much better!
You did this all along knowing I wouldn't be able to pay you?!
You sir are a gentleman. Thank you for your kindness.
I am going to work out a random act of kindness I can do to keep the good karma flowing.
This touched me as a huge random act of kindness and since then I have decided I need to do more. This thread is to serve as inspiration for a flow of good karma. Please keep positive and remember that the point of this thread is not to receive but to give.I did it because you said you wanted to try Craze. I no longer was taking Craze, add in you've been a good guy on the forum, I felt you deserved it. I don't believe in Karma, but I do believe in random acts can have a positive effect on the world around us. All in all, I'm a big softie. I have the tracking numbers at work, ill pm you those on Monday when I go back into the office.
