These are the random acts I have done so far. Each time I do another random act of kindness I will add it to the list.
1. Thanked a Veteran for his service and gave him free coffee
2. Donated food to the Food Bank
Sociable by nature with an eye for the eclectic. I enjoy being around others and am especially attracted to the creative world. Others are drawn to me and admire me. I thrive out in the world and appreciate being surrounded by other people. The only exception to this is when I'm working in the creative realm, finding myself completely engrossed in a project for hours at a time. I am competitive, driven by a desire to outdo others. I am a Leader, I function best when leading others.

Spidery Peanut Butter Cookies
Makes: 5-1/2 dozen | Prep: 45 minutes | Bake: 12 minutes
Ingredients
* 2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
* 1 tsp. baking powder
* 1 tsp. baking soda
* 1/4 tsp. salt
* 1 cup Skippy Natural Creamy or Super Chunk Peanut Butter Spread
* 12 Tbsp. I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!
* 3/4 cup granulated sugar
* 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
* 2 eggs
* 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Directions
1. Preheat over to 350*. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in small bowl; set aside.
2. Beat Skippy Natural Creamy Peanut Butter Spread with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! All purpose Sticks in large bowl with electric mixer until smooth. Beat in sugars, then eggs and vanilla until blended. Beat in flour mixture just until blended.
3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Arrange cookies on ungreased baking sheet, 2 inches apart.
4. Bake 12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove to wire rack and cool completely. Decorate, if desired, to look like spiders.
* If decorating like spiders, press a mini peanut butter cup into top of each cookie while still warm. When chocolate starts to melt, attach pretzel "legs" by sticking them into melted chocolate. Let cool completely then attach coated candy pieces for "eyes" and sugar pears for "pupils" with peanut butter. Don't have sugar pears? White decorating gels also works.

"Knock", written by Fredric Brown, is a science fiction short story that starts with a description of "a sweet little horror story that is only two sentences long." It then goes on to elaborate on those two sentences and build a more complete plot around them.
It was published in the December 1948 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories. There have been three different radio adaptations (Dimension X, X Minus One and Sci Fi Channel's Seeing Ear Theatre). The story was reprinted in The Best Science Fiction Stories: 1949[1]
The first two lines are a complete short-short story by themselves:
The alien Zan have killed off all life other than pairs of specimens for their zoo of exotic Earth flora and fauna. Walter Phelan is the last man on Earth, but Grace Evans, the last woman, is not overly impressed with him and maintains her distance.
The Zan, who are immortal, become disturbed when one by one the other animals begin to die. They turn to Walter for advice. He tells them that the creatures have perished from lack of affection, suggesting that they pet the survivors regularly to keep them alive. He demonstrates with one of them. When the Zan begin to die, they depart the planet in fear. It is then revealed that the creature Walter advised them to pet was a poisonous snake.
Then Walter discusses the future of the human race with Grace. She is shocked by his proposal and leaves as he intended to use the zan technology left behind to create "the master race". The narrative then ends as it began:
