hey, any of you want to join me in a conspiracy? how about we plan some things to do that will cause delight in strangers. leave things on buses or trains, put something under a windshield wiper, "random acts of kindness" so to speak. any ideas? anyone want in on this? could be a lot of fun.

Fri, February 29, 2008 - 5:41 AMI like to scatter change in parking lots so people can find lucky pennies, or nickels or whatever. -

Re: conspiracy of delight
Fri, February 29, 2008 - 11:01 AMThank you, thank you! That does bring me delight. Nearly every day I find a penny on the way to lunch and keep it for my daughter. It is delightful too when she reacts with a smile and a hug and a 'thank you daddy'. She saves the pennies up and usually buys something for her brother who is still working on the aspiring mind of giving. -

Re: conspiracy of delight
Fri, February 29, 2008 - 12:22 PMFor me, toffees and mints/gums work pretty well. Mint for the gentlemen, and toffees for the fair sex of any age. Sort of instant delight! -

Re: conspiracy of delight
Tue, March 4, 2008 - 12:04 PMokay, how about each of us makes a little box of magic and sends it to a randomly chosen person in the white pages? the box must be special, and must have in it items that will shock and delight. (i wouldn't suggest ingestibles, as paranoia about poisoning will impede the reception of joy.)
i suggest we set this conspiracy in motion on 3/22. that should be the date of putting the box in the mail. if you are late, no one minds, but if we all do it together, it would kinda feel fun i think. (yes, this coincides with easter to a degree, but i think it fits in nicely with rabbits and eggs!)
something like this every month seems like a good use of time! : ) -

I can't say one way or the other at the moment. I know that's not a satisfying answer, but that's how it falls out at the moment.
