See??? This is what I'm always telling the boys...it pays to be nice to people...maybe in ways you never thought of!

You know, this morning I was having trouble figuring out how I was going to mail this air box? Well, I went to Mail Boxes Etc. and they wanted to sell me $10 worth of packaging crap! I said "I don't think so." and decided to go back home. So on the way home, I passed by the post office...decided "I'll ask them what would be the best way to send this."

So I go in and guess who's working the counter? The guy with the three boys in Iraq who got HH pocket knives! He just took a look at the air box and then just took it and packaged it up for me for FREE! Tape, box, label, plastic peanuts, the works!

Made my day!

And you're right. It doesn't take any time to be nice to people, and when you least expect it, that niceness will come back to you.

I won't use the word, "karma", but those knives went out with our thanks and blessings upon them. Maybe a little bit of it is headed back our way.
