It's true... I don't even speed and my wife and son can't stand for me to drive. I have a perfect driving record. :) There have been times when I did and didn't get caugt though... and I know if I speed now they will catch me and I will have to pay for all the times I didn't! lol Harry

You just keep right one rambling as much and as often as you want to! I love everything you have to say and am very lucky to have found such a wonderful group of people that I know in my heart care deeply for one another. I to feel a strong conection to many here and am not going to allow my monsters to tell me anything different from the fact people care about me that have never saw or known me before this. I am deeply touched at your story and I do wish you a very long and fruitful life... as I would miss you dearly.

it doesn't have to be a group thing, nor does it have to be a "big" package. It could just be slip a bead into a pack, and send it on randomly.
You can also see it as RAOK (Random Act of Kindness)...the glass people (wetcanvas and others) have RAOGK (Random Act of Glass Kindness).
And I feel you are already doing it, Harry. Perhaps I am the only one, but I feel that every time you slip a "special" bead in with an order (as in with Vicki), you have fulfilled the spirit.

I got a BFNR, too. Shirley hit the nail on the head - I felt so loved, and astonished. One of the best things (although it was unintended) was that my mother was at my home when the packages arrived. She kept saying that she couldn't believe that "all these people think you're so nice!"
It was wonderful.
I can't get to the local post office, so I tend to do Paypal FNR or order things to be delivered to people's homes. It's funny -- I think I'm one of the few people whose florist knows her by her voice. He's always teasing me about having no local friends (which isn't true), because I send so many things all over the world.

Oh man... you guys are going to make me cry. Everyone is so sweet. Harry New Zealand Paua Shell at
You have no idea. The people on this NG are some of the most caring individuals you could care to meet anywhere. A very public THANK YOU to everyone that's been kind and generous to me. I just hope that someday I'll be able to do long-distance RAOK instead of the local one I do here when I'm able to.
Later,

yes, Auntie Kathy is the greatest!!!
(did you ever use the scotties???)

Why, thank you.
I've put bails on them, but they're otherwise waiting to "ripen." :-)
Thank you!
Kathy N-V
yeah, those green scotties...:-)
I hoped you would like them, since you wanted the clears, I thought you would like the matte (Okay, so I worry too much to just let a bead go...LOL!)
Mary
Oh ok... so did I get in under the rule time or after? LOL

What's a RAOK?
Harry

Random Act Of Kindness. Also known as an RAK. They're fun...both on the giving and recieving ends. Usually anonymous, in my experience.
Thank you.. I was wondering. I do believe I did one of those today. :) Can't go into detail though... they might be watching.

That all depends. Rules are applied as the whim strikes us.
