    <![CDATA[I decided to commit beauty terrorism around my town starting with the local laundromat. I posted little inspirational notes on all the washing machine control panels. They remain hidden until someone closes the lid on the machine to do their laundry. I really hope it makes someone smile. <br><br>By: SmileAgent009<br />on 10-01-2010<br>Category: Friendly Gestures<br>Yes Votes: 7 | No Votes: 0<br/><br/><br /><hr>    ]]>

    <![CDATA[My little cousin was at Stevie Bs the other night and was playing the video arcade games (which he had never been particularly good at).  At the same time an older man was playing games with who I assumed to be his son.  They must have won the jackpot in every machine there but decided to give my cousin over 500 of their tickets...it made his week because he got to get prizes for the whole family.  Thank you stranger.  <br><br>By: Anonymous<br />on 04-12-2009<br>Category: Anonymous Act of Kindness<br>Yes Votes: 5 | No Votes: 0<br/><br/><br /><hr>    ]]>

    <![CDATA[My fiance and I were in a motorcycle accident this summer.  Passersby took care of me until the ambulance arrived.  It was blazing hot and a couple of people stood over me so I had shade.  Another person sat at my head and kept talking calmly to me.  The ambulance crew was great the tow company drove my partner to the hospital the hospital staff were wonderful.  Made a potentially horrible situation manageable.  <br><br>By: Beti<br />on 30-11-2009<br>Category: Misc. Good Deeds<br>Yes Votes: 4 | No Votes: 0<br/><br/><br /><hr>    ]]>

    <![CDATA[We had a Halloween nite at work with a bunch of tables set up so that the kids could walk around and quickly get a great deal of candy. There were several hundred people who showed --- great fun. One of my work friends brought her 2 little boys. Afterwards her family went to eat at a local pizza place. While inside someone stole their treat bags from their vehicle. Too sad--something has to be wrong with someone to steal a little kids candy I think. So I went and bought candy and treats and made up 2 halloween bags. I put them by her door at work the next day---she still doesnt know who did it But the people who were there when she found them said she was so happy (made me happy too)<br><br>By: aztec<br />on 03-11-2009<br>Category: Anonymous Act of Kindness<br>Yes Votes: 19 | No Votes: 0<br/><br/><br /><hr>    ]]>

    <![CDATA[Tonight I suffered some of the last emotional and physical abuse from my exboyfriend. He had burnt my baby pictures broken albums my deceased father had given me tossed my purse on top of the two story building next door and threw me down a set of stairs. A tired looking construction worker driving in his truck saw me running outside in distress gave me a ladder to get my things and stood by my side until I was safe and ready to leave. He looked exhausted from a long day but he took the time to help me out and I am very grateful. Two others had passed and my friends had been down the street and heard me scream. Thank you old man wherever you are. <br><br>By: Anonymous<br />on 02-11-2009<br>Category: Friendly Gestures<br>Yes Votes: 31 | No Votes: 0<br/><br/><br /><hr>    ]]>

    <![CDATA[Last week I was on my way down the 14 mile hill to get to my bus stop and I was going to be right on time for the scheduled stop. The bus came early and I was still a good 200 feet away as it pulled up. I started running and when I was about 20 feet away the bus started to pull away...I stopped in disappointment and began to walk when all of a sudden the bus driver honked and gestured to the parking lot he would be going through next...he pulled into the lot and waited for me to cross the street and picked me up even though he was perfectly within his right to keep driving. I was in a good mood the rest of the day thanks to his kind gesture.<br><br>By: Anonymous<br />on 07-10-2009<br>Category: Random Act Of Kindness<br>Yes Votes: 18 | No Votes: 0<br/><br/><br /><hr>    ]]>

    <![CDATA[Ive always been a bit on the heavier side and I always thought it was because of my weight that no guy had ever shown any interest in me. I met my current (and first) boyfriend a little over a year ago and we started dating shortly after we met. He started writing me notes almost immediately and he always signed them Stay beautiful Beautiful. I carried them with me wherever I went for weeks and I now have them safely stored in my jewelry box because it still makes me smile every time I read one of them.<br><br>By: Anonymous<br />on 07-10-2009<br>Category: Friendly Gestures<br>Yes Votes: 24 | No Votes: 0<br/><br/><br /><hr>    ]]>

    <![CDATA[My friend has always been picked on by her high school peers because she always hangs out with the guys and is always mistaken for one. Shes like this because her mom left the family and was raised by her dad. We all got together and took her out to do girly things. We took her to the spa (only some were brave enough to join) and out shopping before watching chick flicks. Were seventeen year old boys and she never looked prettier and happier.<br><br>By: Anonymous<br />on 04-10-2009<br>Category: Friendly Gestures<br>Yes Votes: 97 | No Votes: 0<br/><br/><br /><hr>    ]]>

    <![CDATA[I worked in South Africa for a few weeks two summers ago. One day on my lunch break I saw a man sitting on the side of the road clearly too weak to move. I sat down next to him and we talked - it turns out he was in the final throws of AIDS.  Because of superstition and lack of education hed been abandoned by his family and friends. He sat there with tears in his eyes overwhelmed that a well off white boy would take the time to sit and talk to him. When I came back with a meal for him and a bottle of water he weeped - it was the fist food hed eaten in days and the only charity hed received in weeks. A few days later he was found dead on the side of that same road holding a sign that simply said undHopeund. <br><br>By: Anonymous<br />on 04-10-2009<br>Category: Random Act Of Kindness<br>Yes Votes: 79 | No Votes: 0<br/><br/><br /><hr>    ]]>
