@bobbidiboo: "Depends."
Well, you should change those Depends every time you go or it gets messy.

posted @ Monday, May 21, 2012 - 09:59Last couple of weekends I've seen a few deer in my backyard which is mostly wooded with a small spring for fresh water and lots of foliage. But they spooked when they saw me. These still fear man but are pushed further and further from their natural habitat into our domain.

Once a week or when they start sticking to me.

You seem to know a lot about hiding stuff.

In re-reading it, I cannot see how you could interpret that question as an attack. I know I operate differently than others; everyone does. However, like Davidxto, I am curious as to most people's motives, not just about this, but all things. I would say to rein in your defensiveness. Jeez!"
My comment essentially confirmed what 2dollar said, "I often do nice things for sort of selfish reasons; guilty as charged." And the act of doing good brings the joy of reward – feeling good about oneself.
And if you still don't get it, here's some clarification for you: Every act of good has the added benefit of being good for the one giving as well as the one getting.

You just don't seem it get it, do you? You need to put a rein on your attack mode. Do we all have to be like you?
I get guilty pleasure every time I do something nice or helpful, they are not mutually independent.

Yes, it has to do with me and with you. If we see something that needs done, we do it. And just because we feel good doing it, you should not confuse "you" with feeling good about our actions.

posted @ Wednesday, May 16, 2012 - 14:10When I was younger and lived closer to Clarke Hill Lake, my friends and I would drive to the lake Friday night with our fishing poles, swimming stuff and camping gear and boat out to an island in the middle. We'd camp out for the weekend, drinking beer, swimming and fishing. We explored several islands during the summers. Now, that's the best kind of island for me.

If I could make it look as if you did the deed, it'd be bad for you and I still wouldn't care. I'm dead.

@davidxto: "2dollar was honest when he thought awhile and posted that doing nice things made him feel better.... maybe even a bit of selfish motivation or hope for a better future and more kindness."
What's the point of doing nice and/or helpful things if you don't feel some guilty pleasure doing it?

Summary: Over the past few weeks I've noticed a change to the ATM I visit on West Broad in front of Five Guys. It's a Bank of America ATM and the main reason I like it is because there is only a $2 fee to use it. Over the past few weeks I've noticed a change to the ATM I visit on West Broad in front of Five Guys. It's a Bank of America ATM and the main reason I like it is because there is only a $2 fee to use it. The last few times I visited the ATM, I put my card in the slot and the ATM immediatley gave me the card back. I was a little alarmed at first and tried to put the card back in but the screen prompted me to input my PIN number instead. I was able to complete my transaction but it threw me out of my comfort zone. read more
