A person in HR sent out an email explaining his situation. Within 3 hours, my father had 12 weeks of paid vacation. Strangers' sacrifices GMH. - GivesMeHope

In Topeka, Kansas it is illegal to sing the alphabet on the streets at night. It is also illegal to install a bathtub, and you may not scream in a haunted house.

*** Random LoveGivesMeHope Story ***

Today is my birthday. A couple months ago I was attacked by a dog that left horrendous scars on my face.

My boyfriend made a book that says "You're the most beautiful thing I have ever seen" in over 100 different languages.

I love this =] people who would willingly give up their paid time off are incredible. And Rose, HR means Human Resources... it's the department that usually handles problems and time off and insurance and whatnot for large companies =]
