PN Reader offers one cure for cell phone addiction: When dining out with a group everyone must put their cell phones away. The first person who reaches for their cell phone picks up the bill. After hearing this idea, I thought how much fun it would be to have someone out side of the group dial the cell phone number of the most addicted one of the group just to watch them squirm. —Charlie Brown
To Kindness in Naperville Post: I recall about 10 years ago I was in a department store in Naples and approached the counter to pay for my purchase. A lady came up behind me with kids and I could tell she was in a hurry. So I asked her if she would like to check out ahead of me. And she did. After she walked away and I paid for my purchase, the clerk said, “Wait a minute. I have a gift for you.”
She reached under the counter and brought out a kit of ladies talcum powder and bath oil. She said the store wanted to give me a gift for a Random Act of Kindness. I couldn’t believe it. Never heard of such a thing. But I will always remember that incident. And I went back often to that department store. —Bev Frier
