RAOK is--Random Acts Of Kindness--Just because you want to--you do something nice for someone. we should do this all the time. A smile--a letter--a gift--just coming from the heart. MB

Speaking of RAOK, is there an address list floating around so that, say hypothetically(sp?), someone wanted to send some out?

Sherone and Sharon--there are lots of them floating around, different people are different lists depending on who was doing it and when they signed up. If you'd like, I can start a nother round of them so we have a current fresh list of names and addresses. Just let me know and I'll get right on it. :D

It looks like I opened a can of worms!! I have never been on the RAOK list. Never knew the was such a list. I just recently sent out a stack of PAOK pack on my own accord. Sorry if it has caused a problem.

oh no no no, Linda :D I don't think they meant that anything was a problem. There has been a lot of new girls joining the farm and the phrase RAOK hasn't been used in a long time, so probably they aren't familiar with it.
RAOKs are just that. You sent what you want, to whoever you want, whenever you want to do it..hehe. Lists were mostly just compiled so that the ones who wanted the other girls to have their addresses, could feel that their information was safe. :D There have been tons of lists. Since I joined in 2007, I've been on three different ones so I could have some new girl addresses .:)


Wonderful things that you are thinking of so many, Linda!!
HUGS!!! :)

Linda please don't think you opened a can of worms you just got us all thinking about something that we sometimes forget and is so easy to do and to make someone very happy. I have a couple ideas to send out to a couple girls that might just need a lift.

You girls just make me smile.....thanks for that. I too was not sure what it meant but knew the gist of it. However, I would like to be on the list and have a list. Thanks.

I didn't know either. I think I saw a list but for the life of me I don't know where. I always wondered if LOL was lots of love or is it laugh out loud. now I'll at least know RAOK.

Hope all your days are Sunnydays.

I'm with you, Karen! I'm still in the dark about DH, DD, and DS. I'm think I've got the last letter figured out, but not the first. Is it short for "dear"?

I too would like a list. Kind of like secret pals, huh?

Yes, I believe it is 'Dear" anyway that is how I use it! rofl is about the only other one I know, rolling on floor laughing...if that is right, maybe it should be rotfl ? Also RAOK always makes me think of ROA received on account! lol
