Is anyone else finding it a teensy bit ironic that the thread that started as a conversation about kindness toward our fellow man has morphed into a discussion of cold, hard cash?  |

In the interests of keeping the thread on topic, why don't you all discuss how you're going to send me, a person who could do with a little kindness just now, all your 500 peso notes??  |

Sarliz is right  ..... so maybe I can put the two together in getting back to random acts of kindness....I know it isn't expected, but if a total stranger helped me out of a jam here in Mexico I would offer a small propina simply because we all know how tight money is in this country. I don't want to hurt anyones feelings here but most people I know, especially Mexicans, would never dream of taking a free taxi ride simply because the driver didn't have change...If all else failed I would make his day and give him the 100 pesos. Then I would let him know he owed me a ride and I would get his cab number for the next time.
I am feeling sad for you Lozwich, and I think we should do a random (or planned? Melee had a point that they are different) act of kindness and put on a fund-raiser for you! Get well soon!
Guy, those aren't the new ones...(which apparently the CFE auto-tellers read like 100 pesos notes!! Beware)

| Today I rolled up the rim to win (every Canadian will know what I mean) and I got a free coffee. I gave it away. That was randomly nice, wasn't it? I noticed that a lot of the RAoK from those newspaper articles took place in Tim Hortons! |

Aw, thanks Samantha! But now that Guy has very helpfully put that picture up, I can print off a few, hobble down to the currency exchange and swap them for a few million Colombian pesos and get the doctor's heavies off my back!
Or, as someone pointed out earlier today, with the new enormous forearms I'm getting from using crutches, maybe I'll be able to take care of it myself! |
