rozita- i like the pay-it-forward concept too. i'm sure the idea is as old as life. i remember back in my college daze when a hippie friend invited some of us over to his apartment for dinner (beans). someone mentioned a reciprocal dinner sometime in the future, which prompted him to tell us his "law of returning sandwiches". he said, "don't pay me back, pass it on to someone else. when you're out on the streets broke and some cat lays a sandwich on you, you can't always pay him back, you might not ever see him again. what you do is YOU lay a sandwich on some other broke cat someday when you have some bread. and then that cat lays a sandwich on some other cat, and it goes on and on and on." (YES, we used to talk like beatnicks when we were hippies) <G> -el gato ps- i also like to pay people back directly (with interest) but as to others paying me - i like them to pay it forward.
