Neighbors That Care
Sunshine Sunshine 4 years ago
That's really sweet and valuable. I don't want to get bashed for what I amabout to say but could somebody please tell me why it's relevant to mention the neighbors race? I don't understand. I don't want to be derogatory in any way.
Mewton’s Third Paw 4 years ago
No worries, I’ll take the downvotes but here is the explanation: OP mentioned it because despite her being black too, she still notices race just like everyone else does. And probably she felt a particular soft spot AND kinship with the old lady next door. Maybe a grandmotherly vibe happening that is only magnified by the fact that they’re both the same race.

When I lived in my first apartment there was an older couple who lived in the next building in the end unit. When I would have to close at work, the sweet elderly man, would sit out on his porch when he knew I'd be coming home so that he could make sure I made it safely into my apartment and to say good night. It was the sweetest thing.

A few weeks after losing the third cat, I found a very sick, six week old kitten on my way to work. Charlie just turned three years old. He is the sweetest soul, full of rainbows and sunshine.

Kindness goes a long way, good people never forget what you’ve done for them.
In an earlier interview, Bored Panda learned about the link between happiness and helping others from Vanessa King, the Head of Psychology at ‘Action for Happiness,’ a movement that aims to create a happier and more caring society. A large part of being happy comes from helping others because we’re a social species and evolved to live in groups. Helping each other out and working together is the “social glue” that helps keep all of us together.

This reminds me of when I was young, and listening to music while doing my homework. My hometown home is at the centre of the (small) city, and our windows face the main street, where friends sometimes just sit around hanging together. As I was done with homework and was about to leave the room, I turned the music off. Then I heard from outside: "bring the music back!" I looked over the window to check it up, there were two random guys asking for more music. I found it funny. My brother took over from here, greeted them and put some more music on.

Our Neighbor Gives Treats Through The Fence. Recently He Has Been Giving My Daughter Treats Too. This Is Them Waiting Patiently Today
Must Be Bored Again 4 years ago
We lived right next to a family with a special needs toddler. Mom would bring her outside to eat things like ice cream cones, popsicles, etc. Then (with agreement from all parties) she would let the little girl come over to my 2 foot high doggie fence, that is all you need when your dogs are doxies! My 2 doxies got the "task" of cleaning up little sticky hands. Not sure who loved it more, child, dogs or adults. She was pretty much non-verbal so the day she said "da" at the doggies, both her mother and I cried.

People don't understand how kind and companionate autistic people are . Even though life usually isn't kind to them , they still genuinely care about others. Their empathy is very strong. I love this post
Kindness and altruism don’t require you to be an actual superhero who makes the world a better place in a single swoop. Kindness is most often made up of small steps. And altruism is a habit that you can learn to incorporate into your life bit by bit. Start small because it’s not the size of the deed that matters, it’s the intent.

Our Neighbor Doesn't Have Wi-Fi, So We Talked Her Through Joining Ours. Once On She Received 70 Messages From Her Children Living Overseas
your local closet weeb 4 years ago
This reminds me of a scene from one of my favorite shows, where a character opens up her dead mother’s computer and sees all the emails that the character had sent to her mother after her death. The flood of emails also brought along a flood of emotions, and I’m sure this situation was like that as well <33
According to King, we shouldn’t stress out about whether or not our kindness is genuine or if we expect something in return at the start. It’s all part of the learning process to grow to expect nothing back. “Maybe at first, you start out doing things to help others only to get attention and praise, but you will find that doing things for others helps you feel good. Once you see the difference you can make in the world and to your own happiness and altruism can grow naturally," she told Bored Panda.
What’s more, King noted that kindness has a ripple effect. People are more likely to be kind when they’ve experienced kindness in return. So a kind neighbor inspires more neighbors to be kind as well.

I seem to recall this. I can't remember the exact tale but wasn't it a local contractor that turned up to do a job and saw that so much needed doing, so he did his work for free and recruited his contractor mates and neighbours and they all gave their time for free. I'm not sure if there was a just giving set up to pay for the supplies too. Either way, it's a lovely story.
"There’s an important point too here for people on the receiving end of kindness. If they can, it’s, of course, great to say thank you and add the positive impact it has for you e.g., 'Thank you, It’s great to know that someone cares.' That can really boost the glow for the giver and encourage them to give more," King said that thanking someone can encourage them to be kind in the future as well. So a warm thank-you or an offer of a glass of homemade iced tea goes a long way to making your neighborhood a happier, kinder place.

You've already asked them TWICE to call it a night, and they say they will, but don't. The THIRD time, you bang on their door, at which point all the noise in their unit comes to a complete halt. One of them comes to the door and you smile sweetly and ask (cont'd)

(cont'd) for ONE of them...anyone...to come w/ you to your unit, so they could hear what YOU hear. You then address the person holding the karaoke mic to start singing again, once you leave with one of the residents there and close the door. They decide this isn't necessary, and finish their party right then, ending the noise that's been keeping you up, and they never do it again. No one had to raise their voice, and the landlord didn't have to get involved. I don't know why more people w/ noisy neighbors don't try this. Have them come over to your place to hear what YOU hear. Sometimes, they have no idea they're so loud.

Outdoor kitties have lives and friends their owners don't always know about. I often think of those who my girl must have surely cheered on her daily walkabout, and wish I could tell them that she passed. I have a few feline friendships like this myself.

Last week my sister had to have her cat put down. It was devastating for her. The cat was 14 and she had had her all her life. My sister had owned her mother and she kept all her kittens. So Tubby, as this cat was called, was the last of that cat family to pass away. When She was putting her into her car to take her to the vets a group of her neighbours kids came over and asked if they could say goodbye. It made it harder for my sister in a way but it also meant the world to her that other people loved her cat to and would miss her as well.

Aw, that's so sweet. My condolences to your sister for her loss. Furbabies really are part of the family, aren't they? I dogsat my boss' Cavoodle on a number of occasions, and he was just the most adorable little thing. A real little sweetheart. However, he was getting really old and sick was in a lot of pain, so they made the decision to send him "over the rainbow bridge". But they knew that I adored him, so they called me over to their house, and allowed me to play with him for a final time and to say goodbye. I thought it was so kind of them, as they didn't need to do that. I really appreciated it though.

Once his very last shift was finally over, the neighborhood had another surprise for Mr. Floyd. 300+ people came to a covered dish block party in his honor. People stood in line all night for hugs and photos. Floyd's known these guys since they were babies. "Now you guys are as tall as I am!". Floyd said tonight’s sendoff was the nicest thing anyone’s ever done for him. His parting words: “Continue to take care of each other, and smile when you think of me.”

Though his wife has passed, and his kids and grandkids are grown, he never stops making an effort to love people.

Once the pandemic is over, see if your neighbor can give you some basic cooking lessons. It takes practice to get it down pat, but it’s always good to know how to cook. With just a few items from your fridge and pantry, you can feed yourself—-and save money too.
Dandelion Patch 4 years ago
Came here for the wholesome content. Unfortunately in the comments many are criticizing the OP's statement that they cannot cook. There are many possible reasons why someone would be unable to cook. People have physical disabilities, learning disabilities, and/or may have lacked a nurturing parental figure who had the time and energy and ability to teach them. Or perhaps by "I can't cook," the person just means they don't feel capable of putting out this type of meal. Let's stick to the wholesome and appreciate this sweet neighbor.

Maybe she always wanted to go to a certain place and had to fly? That would cost. Also, if that's the FIRST trip she takes, it's also probably cool to make it something very special. I don't know how gofundme works, but does the money get paid back if people don't reach the goal? If not - even if only 2.000 get raised, that'll still make it possible for one of the trips you mentioned. :-)

I Found This On Our Porch Tonight. A Neighbor’s Child Must Have Left It
Paradise 4 years ago
Kids can be so sweet. My daughter put out a small sign out front saying people should recycle. Nevermind she used fresh paper vs recycle bin paper, a plastic laminating sheet, etc. she has read and watched about the topic for years and spent a week watching Captain Planet (American TV show, 90s).
Lauren Caswell 4 years ago
She's a planeteer, and we could be one too, coz saving our planet is the thing to do! I loved that show growing up ^-^

Okay, after an hour of combing the web I've concluded the mystery fruit might be an apple melon, apparently from India/Indonesia. I'm very much open to corrections.

Neighbors Left This On The Door. I'm Gonna Bake Then Some Cookies

Our one neighbours tried sleep-training but all the other mommies in the building went to offer soothing services every time so that they can take a break (I don't know how they will ever get their baby to self-sleep - they will have to go on holiday somewhere else
Teresa Thomas 4 years ago
Absolutely amazing. Good neighbors to let you know the baby isn't being neglected (though babe will feel and sound like they are :( )
Not A Panda 4 years ago
Poor child. All "sleep training" does is teach a baby (whose only way to communicate distress is by crying) that it can be distressed but no one will come to comfort him or her. It's a terrible method.
Paradise 4 years ago (edited)
Actually it is not if done correctly. Like 5 minutes. You dont go for long periods of times. But you want them to try and learn in time.

It can cause attachment aversion later in life and lead to someone being emotionally distant and cut off. However, I'm not a mother so I can only imagine the frustration of a sleepless baby/parent.

Kate Johnson 4 years ago
Christmas lights. I'd been admitted for a week during a scary Emergency room visit and then ICU, and it was over Thanksgiving. On the (ten blocks) drive home, some people had their Christmas lights up and on, and it made me feel welcomed home safely. It wasn't anything to do with me, but it felt like it. Despite so many other memories going missing, this is still right at the front, never forgotten.

When my husband left I had never had to take care of a house on my own before plus five young kids. The house is very old as well and my husband had not upkept it. When my neighbours across the road found out he had left the husband started shoveling my driveway and sidewalk for me during the winter , assisted me with small house repairs, taught me how to unhoook and set up my trailer and is always willing to offer me assistance. I have offered him money numerous times and he refuses. His wife dropped off some extra meat she had in her freezer for us randomly one day and he is currently fixing my lawn mower for me. I am so blessed with these amazing people. Ironically when they first moved in they built a huge privacy fence all around their house and my mom and I commented on what d**k heads these new neighbours must be. (Nothing wrong with a privacy fence but it’s literally surrounded their house and they are a corner lot LOL it was a bit of a stir in a small tiny town lol )

I love this post! I have lived in this house for 12 years. About 18 months ago, I finally started reaching out to my neighbours, who I didn't even know their names before. I have made some really good friends, and discovered they are all so beautiful and unique. I share some of my extras from my veggie garden and products I make from them and it feels good. I was able to help one when she lost her husband, and I get to feed her tortoises! I have donated beds and other essentials to another who fosters children. And I have a new hero in my next door who is a Firefighter and the friendliest person I have ever met.
