I was having a "geyser" problem with my sprinkler. A member here offered to come over and fix it for me. While he was here he also replaced two other sprinkler heads to increase their coverage, and helped me re-aim a few others.

When he was done, I asked what I owed him. "We're good, I like helping people do this" was his response.

I forced him to take some money for his parts and time.

Several years ago when we were just visiting the Villages, we were lost and on the side of a MOP looking at a map, I was really impressed by the number of people who stoped to offer us help. That's when I knew the Villages was a place for me. Now I always stop if I see someone on the side of a path.

Thanks everyone who shared their stories of being the recipient of “acts of kindness” here in The Villages! In a crazy world, it’s stories like these that show there is still a lot of goodness around us.

Way more good than bad out there. Unfortunately, people tend to focus on the bad and let the good slide by. Definitely a refreshing thread : )
