    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Something good!

These things may not happen everywhere, but this happened here today......

I would like to thank the person that had found and turned in my wallet today when I was at Marshall’s store I go to the checkout and found that I lost my wallet and I really can’t move very well right now so I had to make it back out to my car and have my wife check it over and go back to the last place we were and then she did not find it and then I asked them there and someone special had found it and turned it in there are still some great people out there in this town I don’t know who you are but I want to tell you Thank You so very much and God bless you I hope you see this I appreciate it so very much

It was not me that posted the story, I have left my cell phone in a couple of shopping carts and it was always turned in.
 
I forgot to pick up my 7Iron on the golf course.
I didn't notice it missing till the next week.
I then checked the lost and found. Yep there it was.

Despite what you hear and see on the internet, I think most people are respectful and honest.
 
MANY moons ago when i was getting sober and cleaned up i had volunteered to take cookies to the meeting and when i pulled in to park there was a purse in the shopping cart coral. I took it in and gave it to the manager.
Theres a list of things to remember on the back of the yellow AA pamphlet I honestly can only remember one from the list. REMEMBER the least bit of dishonestly will either drive you insane or youll drink. Dishonesty for me is a non starter. Both ways. From me giving or receiving.
 
I was at big chain department store on a very busy day for not only the store but myself.

Im standing in line to check out and notice a employee a young woman, standing at attention very close to me, I said hi, she just nodded and looked straight ahead, I thought it was odd, like maybe she thought I stole something?

Get to my truck and pull out my key chain, I have it so I can pull of my ignition key separate, dont like all the keys dangling.
But my ignition is gone, I can get in my truck with key fob, and the whole thing was strange because for some reason I brought my spare, I never do that, so I wasn't stranded 50 miles from home


I go back in the store and ask if anyone turned in a key, they ask me to describe it, I said its a single key with a yellow tag .

They handed my key, while i was standing in line I bet i pulled something out of my pocket and key fell out, I must have not clipped in on my key ring as usual, and woman employee seen it on the floor and picked up, instead of asking me if it were mine she turned it in.

I do know from talking to people they dont want to turn in cash if they find it, as witnessed at a store once.

Woman found a bank envelope with 33 bucks in it at a store I was at one day, several people told her to keep it, because if she turned it in it would end up in employees pocket.

The envelope didnt have any info on it , so im not sure what the lasy did.

One summer I found three billfolds, one with 20 bill, one with just kids i.d card from some class , and one with couple hundred bucks and bunch of cards and i.d.

Everyone of them was a pain in the rear to return to the owner, wish id never found any of them, but I'd go through it again.

Moral of the story is that there are some really great people ou there!
 
Yes, bunches of these great folks out there... Sadly they rarely get the recognition and publicity the others get, that's why I said refreshing to hear the good stuff, so many times it's not mentioned.
