Congrats Ry on winning and more importantly Thank You to Above for doing such an awesome thing. I never clicked on the thread as I thought it was a band name and not a play on "pay it forward". Seriously, you deserve many good things to come your way. What are the other 9 things on your list that you are hoping to do?

Thanks all. feels daaaaamn good to do this. looking back now, i wish i had changed the thread title with maybe a brief description. sorry about that.

@selfreliable, here is my list of things: (excellent question)

1. ring salvation bells for 4 hrs a day over the weekend. (it was bitterly cold here in KS, so i paid dearly for that one)

2. gather up cans for our local harvesters. i offered a "can for a can" where i would match a beer per canned good. obvi i did this with friends and family at a function and not just a random spot where i would hand out beer. good news is that word got out and i got friends of friends of friends who came and donated.

3. volunteered at a local church to help pack up/pick up food for local families. i think it was called 'angel drive' or something like that. drove about an hour away, loaded up 4 minivans of food and put them in baskets that people brought through the line.

4. drove around the bad parts of KC delivering bags of clothes to kids in my sisters class. she teaches in downtown KC, mostly spanish speaking school (our lady of guadalupe) and they literally have nothing. i drove up to their houses, ran up. knocked on door and ran. this seems dangerous thinking about it. saw some pretty bad situations.

5. the VC record thingy!!

the following are next up on list:

6. my wife works at nursing home and they always need help. will go in soon and do some kind rearranging furniture in rooms and heavy lifting there. i hope to chat it up with some old timers.

7. helping the local DAV (disabled american veterans). people donate things in a spot outside and its just stacked and piled with no real order to things. ill move the heavy things like TVs, couches, etc. inside and see what else they need.

8. this year im buying a goat for a woman. my sister in law wanted this as a gift last year to donate and i liked the idea. http://donate.worldvision.org/OA_HTML/xxwv2ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?section=10401&item=1445884

still thinking of the next two.
