OK, SS asked it in another thread, and to honor dear Kurt's wishes, I'm starting a new thread with SS's question: How do you pay it forward?
The first thing that came to my mind is something kind of small and silly. I know some of you have Aldi grocery stores--super discount, no frills. They store their shopping carts/buggies with a lock system that unlocks the cart when you insert the quarter. When you return the cart, you get your quarter back. Often, when I'm returning my cart, someone just arriving at the store will come up and "pay" me their quarter to take my cart. I have found that people, especially senior citizens are so grateful to have me simply say, "No, just take the cart." A small gesture, I know, but it's often received with such warmth.

For each book, toy or piece of clothing I have bought for my new grandson I have matched with donation to the "Toys for Tot's" or Angel Tree in our local stores for the children who have loving parents that just need a helping hand from time to time. For my birthday I asked each of my children to donate to the Katrina effort instead. 4 bookbags filled with essentials for the children in and around the area that were displaced by Katrina were donated by my children.

I knew there was a risk in evoking the Captain and Tennille reference. Sorry we had to relive the thought of "Muskrat Love".
You have to admit, that this is the best picture of Tennille you've ever seen.
