You guys are amazing. Like kick-ass amazing. Thanks so much for all of the cyber hugs and support. Your comments brought so many smiles to my face today that my cheeks hurt.
In your honor I am hosting a give-a-way. Just because you all enrich my life and are so freakin’ sweet, I got a freakin’ toothache and therefore want to give you some ish.
Anyway, this give-a-way will be like a B.o.B.’s favorites give-a-way! (I’m like Oprah, only poorer and without Obama’s cell number. So sorry, no cars.) It will include the AWESOME Magic Powder , the STUPENDOUS Turbo Snake , and probably some other random crap that I find useful or hilarious.
This is my way of saying truly, honestly THANK YOU. I wish I could give you all a little something but again, not Oprah.
Oh and the only thing you have to do is comment and tell me something nice you did for someone else besides me today.
For example: “Hey B.o.B. I wanna win that powder and I totally told my co-worker today that her hair looked awesome!”
OR
“B.o.B. you are so cool. There, that’s my nice thing. I want that clogged-drain-free life you are livin’!”
This seriously sweet contest ends on Sunday. I’m sorry people from Europe, Asia, Africa, Antarctica, South America, Pongo Pongo, Mars, Pluto, Abu Dabi, The Fertile Crescent, Australia, New Zealand, Sesame Street and Lilliput, but I just can’t afford that shipping. I will totally send you cyber hugs instead.
Happy running and thanks again.
I just moved back home and tonight on my way in from work, I stopped and bought my mom a coffee. Simple yet meaningful!
I am still wondering where the Fertile Crescent is (sounds erotic); I might need to move there. Something nice I did for someone today? I noticed a very old gentleman was looking for something at the grocery store. I asked if i could help b/c he seemed pretty perplexed. He was staring at the spices and asked, "can you just buy bacon bits?" So I directed him to the salad dressing aisle for his bits. He seemed pretty grateful anyway. I would love the powder and the snake thank you very much. Hope your day was good and you are feeling okay post funeral.
Something nice I did for someone? Well, I didn't even choke the person who actually smoked in our building today 🙂 …isn't that nice? I didn't see Canada on your list, so voila!
Hi BOB! Love your blog 🙂 I am always excited when a post from your site finds its way into my Google Reader.
My nice thing is that I am vegetarian – not causing suffering to animals and helping save the environment counts, right? 🙂
B.O.B's favorite stuff give away…I am in. Okay, today I did a couple things that were nice, I gave my hubby a break from trucking our daughter to her b-ball practice and I gave him a compliment and told him that is ass looked good in his new jeans:)
I am glad that you are feeling a little better:) Keep smiling!!
I analyzed that list of places twice and didn't see Canada on there so I'm entering.
You're awesome – I love reading about your running, very inspiring!!
I took my son to Story Time at the library today for the first time. Not sure if he liked it, though, so I don't know if that counts as "nice." 🙂
Glad you are feeling better!
Glad you feel so freakin sweet today!
I'm nice to people everyday, even though they don't know it most of the time. I'm a pharmacist and make a lot of behind the scenes phone calls to insurance companies and doctor's offices to get peoples' medicines covered. Some pharmacists don't take much time to do these things because they are busy, but I try to do it whenever I can 🙂
I taught an indoor cycling class for FREE this morning! Is that nice enough? I only teach for free since the AF's fitness programs are underfunded. 🙁
I'm glad that you are feeling better. 😉
I live in Europe, but I have a u.s. address. 🙂
I feel like an unfeeling bastard since I did not give you a cyber hug. I am a horrible person. However, I did not beat the cat today so send me a drain thingy.
Awesome giveaway – it makes me smile because it's random stuff. LOL Weird? Probably, but that's just me!
Hmm, something nice.. This girl called the wrong department and got me, but instead of transfering her once again, I helped her because I knew how to do what she needed. Score.
Omg B.o.B. you never cease you CRACk me up! I love the Oprah comment. I have to show my hubs that snake thing, his poor bathroom sink is stupid and clogs like mad. Oh the things I learn from you.
Hmm, well lets see, yesterday (not today, i've barely made it out of my PJ's and still sippin' tea) I taught pre-school for Seven 2 year old kids… and I didn't put one in time out. So there! I was so nice! hehe… no really, I was nice. promise. don't look at me like that… 😉
I have been looking EVERYWHERE for that stupid betty powder. EVERYWHERE. Ever since you posted about it. Seriously. Srsly.
Today I grabbed a few selections of Tiger's Milk bars from the bottom shelf at the grocery store for a little old lady without hips or something. She couldn't bend well so I obligied and gagged silently because Tiger's Milk bars are really just Dino-crap drizzled in cheap chocolate. I hid my cadbury eggs from her though, I didn't want a snatch and run happening. Those things are gold and she looked fiesty.
You bring out the best in people! 😉 You are a good person, too, that's why I keep coming back! Now, if you only lived in NorCal it would be even better 🙂
Hmmm, not to sound like I am bragging, but I bought the lady behind me in Starbucks yesterday her coffee. She was dealing with a cranky toddler and was trying to balance the kid and her wallet – it was bad. So I did her a favor and took care of it. She was sooo grateful, I don't know why I don't do that more often!
Have a good Tuesday my friend…I hope I win, I really want to try that powder!!!!
Sooooo glad you are feeling better, sans the "toothache" =P
So appealing to your love of dance… Yesterday, three of my students (8-9th graders) were struggling with confidence for their show this weekend. Since I started dancing later in life, I totally am sensitive to that and will always do WHATEVER I can to make my kids feel comfortable prior to going onstage. Yesterday I skipped dinner so that I could meet with each of them individually to review their movement until they felt 300% comfortable with it. I also taped it for them and am now, skipping my friend time (free spa day) to post the video so they can have MORE practice with it.
Honestly, I really wasn't doing this to be nice. I happen to LOVE kids and LOVE teaching dance. So I would have done this anyday. BUT I'm also not opposed to winning a prize for it. (sheepish grin).
As an added bonus, if I win that snake you'd be doing several people favors: me, building maintenance, my daughter, and the poor still water that sits there hour after hour just trying to get back down the drain. Help the poor water out, B.o.B.!
On a separate kissing up note, you are amazing and your posts really help me get through my tough run days. I want to be just like you when I grow up. (Translation: I need that snake or I will CUT YOU!)
hahah you don't need to enter me in anything but that post was funny!
I drove *back* to school this morning because my daughter left her math book in my car… but… I don't need any powders or snakes… I've got plenty of that stuff in my "do-it-yourself" Warlock kit at home.
You ARE so cool! And to be nice yesterday I let my secretary go home early. 🙂
hey B.O.B. I totally wanna win that powder cause you're awesome and I am going away with my gf this weekend.
B.o.B – I really enjoy your blog. I read every post. Thanks to Google Reader they just show up in my feed and I don't have to search for them! You (and the other running bloggers out there) keep me motivated to get out and run.
As for a good deed, as a rule I try to do something nice every day. But today I was in an all day seminar that was sucking out my brain slowly through my ears. So my good deed for today was not arguing with the guy next to me. That and volunteering to travel across the country to help a coworker out with a new process.
Enter me in the drawing if you want. I just enjoy reading your stuff! The freebies I'm sure I could buy myself 😉
you're hilarious any way i can get you.
i did do something cool today. a friend of mine is getting divorced, and when i saw a "quote of the day" thing on my homepage, i sent it to her just to say i love you. it was so inspirational i have now forgotten what it was.
girl i don't want to take your turbo snake away from you. i think you need it more! 😉 plus, i think kentucky qualifies as one of those BFE places that you don't want to ship to, haha.
umm today i complimented a (larger) lady at the gym on a good workout? haha. that's a stretch, i know, but i'm freakin' all alone here in ky. that's my excuse ok. 😉
OOH I'm glad you're feeling better!!! OOH I may have made a note about you and the readhead in my post tonight– hope you don't mind.
As for the contest: I did my boyfriends taxes tonight!! I think that was pretty nice!!!
I donated to a co-workers retirement today. 🙂
