I was at the drugstore to pick up a few items for my trip,

highlights. I explained. Oh, okay. But I relaxed my hair,
can I use this? I took the box from her, saying they
usually have this information on the side. Ah, there, no
not recommended for just relaxed hair. She said, Oh, but
it was 5 weeks ago. Well, then,

asked me, do you like this shade for me or this one? Oh,
definitely the second one. Goes with your skin better.

What a nice post! The kind that puts a smile on your face.
Positive posts are wonderful. We see enough bickering in
"regular life", let alone on Usenet.

Maybe the "comes around" part is that the muffins will cause
you to get fat.

I'm a firm believer in Karma, even though I'm not a Hindu.
You weren't helping her to get something, you were just
being nice. So the Universe rewarded you. Cool... :-)

Great story! Remember to tell your grandchildren. They'll
like it too.

And enjoy the muffins!

And you HAD done a good deed !! I really like the fact that
you seem to be friendly and helpful to people, I try to be
that way too, and I am betting a lot of us are like that.
Gives you a nice warm feeling !!

Nice act of kindness, nice story, quibble with the
subject line.

"What goes around comes around" is an expression, like "you
make your bed, you lie in it" that I always associate with
the negative side of karma. For the same sentiment stated in
the positive, I prefer "as you sow so shall you reap." Or
help me with another.

Hmmm, you have a point there 🙂 I wasn't in my best literary
form; I was still surprised about the free muffins!

ROFL true, only minutes between the one incident and the
next 😉 I believe in Karma, too.
