I'm the happiest guy

**K-B** · 12-23-2008, 07:02 PM

I just checked my emails and discovered that someone sent me a gift of $500 PayPal, completely out of the blue. I think I nearly went into shock. I nearly can't believe it. I'm on our local volunteer fire department, I had just returned from a house fire all tired out but that sure perked me up.

Just had to say something....

I wonder if i give people my paypal address, I wil get the same

Way to go ! Always nice to get an unexpected surprise (course I suppose if you expected it it wouldn't be a surprise.....hummmmm rofl). I'm very happy for you! Happy Holiday to you and your family and a Healthy and Happy 2009!

Good one KB

It's amazing how, when you're feeling down and tired, something comes along that make all the aches and weariness seem worth it.

Have a great Christmas and all the best for the New Year

Congrat K-B, someone obviously thinks you deserve it.

Being a member, even as a volunteer...especially as a volunteer, you are one of lifes heros and deserve it anyway!

Have a great Christmas.

Have fun and Merry Christmas

Actually, it was an internet company. I was selected as one of their "2008 Members of the Year", hence the $500 reward
