Recent good deeds to make up for your past evils

Drove and picked up my father who I don't get along with to take him to the doctor after his eye operation 104 mile round trip in the snow :violin:

Then came home and got some Xanax :laugh:

Same here.  Been helping take care of my grandmother for the past 3 years, even though she treated me and my mom like shit.  It's been difficult as hell, but we've finally built a relationship and we understand each other a lot more.  It's been worth it.  Couldn't have managed it without alcohol, though.   :P

I generally try to treat others how I would hope to be treated if we traded places (this excludes complete wankers. I'm not a saint). I'm pretty sure I've been seen as a soft touch in the past but I don't mind much, I'd usually prefer to assume people's motives are genuine, and kindness doesn't (usually) cost much. I don't get out that much at the moment so not a lot if you don't count running round after my gran.

 :agreed:

I gave the little girl who rides to school with my daughter her very own Spongebob Squarepants to keep and take home.  I bought some things for her to use to keep her occupied for the long ride to school, but I don't let her take those home with her.

I am making cloth bags to hold the glass jars filled with homemade bath salts that my daughter made for her teachers.

first rule of soup club is, you do not talk about soup club.

second rule of soup club is, YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT SOUP CLUB.

third rule of soup club is, if someone says stop, goes limp, taps out the soup eating is over.

fourth rule of soup club is, only two people eating the same soup.

fifth rule of soup club is, one soup at a time.

sixth rule of soup club is, no pants, no spoons.

seventh rule of soup club is, soup eating will go on as long as it has to.

the eighth and final rule of soup club is, if it's your first day in soup club, you HAVE to buy soup.

At first I interpreted this thread as being about so-called "Good Deeds" that may have gone wrong and the consequences.

The most out of character wrongs I have done in my past were from lack of impulse control. I acted or re-acted in ways that were not thought out well a few times.

Regrets from some of those times are still with me, when I am down. The ones that really bug me can not be reversed.

Trust me, you can be cruising along just fine and then, BAM, a little flicker of something triggers a memory of something stupid that I did or said and  "Presto" we have what I call a "cringe moment."

i have nothing in my past i feel i need to make up for.  that sounds arrogant, but believe me, i'm harder on myself than i am on other people, and i have tried to live as impeccably as i know (according to my own code, obvoiusly.  :laugh: )


At first I interpreted this thread as being about so-called "Good Deeds" that may have gone wrong and the consequences.

The most out of character wrongs I have done in my past were from lack of impulse control. I acted or re-acted in ways that were not thought out well a few times.

Regrets from some of those times are still with me, when I am down. The ones that really bug me can not be reversed.

Also QFT and DITTO. 

How is that possible? The two are a contradiction. Either you have things you regret at times, or you don't.


Regrets can be kind of like dust bunny nests. No matter how well I think I have cleaned them out they always seem to come back. The things that come back again and again are things that are truly regrettable to me (like using one of my old cameras as a mace on one of the thieves to keep them from robbing me of my cameras - I really hurt that guy or breaking that guys ribs who ran me off the road and hit my car a couple of months ago.) I can never escape them. I can only resist the effects they have on me.

I am better able to resist when I keep from getting bored or depressed in general. That's what I meant by, "when I'm down."

Trust me, you can be cruising along just fine and then, BAM, a little flicker of something triggers a memory of something stupid that I did or said and  "Presto" we have what I call a "cringe moment." 
I find it strange when this happens and I don't like the feeling of getting embarrassed and feeling awful about it all over again!

Agreed and DD did an apt analogy.  You think you have resolved or made peace with a past "Incident".  And like a dust bunny, it keeps occuring.  I really hate it, it's in the past, often years ago and yet I still cringe at the memory.   :grrr:

I have one of those...  it's been probably 20 years, and I can still see it so clearly in my head.  It makes me sick whenever I think of it.

I have a few of those. Every time I think of them I cringe. I know I can't do anything about them but I wish I would have acted differently.

That is close to my point.

It doesn't matter how much energy you divert to resolve certain regrets, some of them never go away.

Yes. I don't have many of them but the ones that I have aren't going anywhere.

Nope - don't think I ever did. But then I rarely lose sleep period. I just worry harder while I'm awake.

i have only one regret woth getting exercised about, and i shall never forgive myself for it.  no point in trying to put it right, because i can't, and i take full responsibility for it.  doesn't mean i don't wish i'd not done it, every day.

I named him Liam. I have never named anything or anyone before.

There are pictures. :)

The cats are getting along surprisingly well, that is, they are not hissing at each other or growling anymore. I don't know if they will ever sleep next to each other, though.

A guy in the shops dropped his sunglasses and he was unaware of it. I picked them up and tapped him on his shoulder and then gave his glasses to him.

My good deed yesterday. :)

Glad you revived this topic, parts. I, like others who've posted, have a lot to live down. Whether it's intentional or not, harm is still harm. I'd rather be remembered for being good and being kind. I suck terribly at giving unconditional love, though. Despite my best efforts, it usually ends up being partial, conditional and temporary. Still, it's better than not feeling love for anyone or anything at all, I suppose. :)

My good deed: Helping my elderly mother-in-law through a period of ill health.

Despite everyone thinking I am a selfish asshole, I am always holding doors and stuff, and not just for hot chicks.

I am trying to set up my installation to expand its recycling program and I intend to do the work and pay to ship the stuff to be recycled.

I try to care for and help friend by giving advice and encouragement, but I usually fuck this up. The sentiment is there though! :-\

  My last batch of tapioca was so lumpy that it was unusable.  I think I've been using an inaccurate
  thermometer and letting the milk get too hot before adding the tapioca powder, which is causing the
  batch to scald and form lumps.  I had a similar mishap just a couple of days ago, but I fixed it somewhat
  by cooling the tapioca faster and, just yesterday, by straining the entire batch through a slotted spoon,
  carefully removing a few lumps.  This batch is still slightly overcooked, but it's usable.  Good job!  :thumbup:
