Guy, thank you for your quick processing. Its greatly appreciated. Ive made a donation to Heifer international. If anyone is not familiar with the charity its really an organization that stresses passing on the gift you are given.

Thanks. Didn't need to use the ETA (but will in September) and will donate the fee equivalent to the local Union Gospel Mission.

Thank you very much, Guy Betsy! Great idea! I have passed it forward and have 'adopted' another lovely dog on http://www.dogstrust.org.uk/ - Zac is the lucky one this time, and as soon as I saw him, just fell in love with his smile...! Here he is: http://www.dogstrust.org.uk/sponsor_...sponsor_a_dog/

Thanks a bunch, Guy Betsy! I have passed it forward and have made a donation to Backstreet Missions, a local homeless shelter..your generous offer is a great display of the FT spirit!!

After having supplied wrong details (apologies once again for that!!), a new ETA was issued most efficiently thanks to our dear Guy Betsy!! As a result I've passed it forward again and have sponsored another dog in needs: Jacob! Please visit his page on http://www.dogstrust.org.uk/sponsor_...sponsor_a_dog/

Thanks again!

Just to say thank you to Guybetsy for getting 5 Australian ETAs for my family.

I'm sending a $100 cheque for the Burmese Cyclone Relief through the Anglican Church there.

Both of us are thanking Guy Betsy and have passed it forward to the Fisher House Foundation.

Another big thank you to Guy Besty...we're hoping to find a cause to pass it forward to while in Australia next week and will report back.

Thank you Guy Betsy - he provided me with 11 ETA visas for a group that is travelling to Australia in 2 months.

I was recently bumped off a flight in Boston and provided a free hotel room -- I noticed that there were these two delta pilots fighting with the front desk person because they didn't have any rooms and were supposed to get one. Since I had a place to stay in Boston I offered them my room.

I also noticed a group of lost philipinos in harvard sq -- I offered them a tour around the campus during an hour of my free time.

I've asked the recipients of the ETAs to do something similar to pay it forward.

Thanks chewy3, that's the spirit!

It isn't always about money, but rather deeds. However if it is better for you to make a donation to something that you don't normally give to, then its fine too.

Sometimes we see people sitting alone on park benches and how many of us thought about doing something for them but were too chicken to do it. We'd think, gee what would other people say?

Well, even something as simple as a bunch of flowers to a total stranger does wonders for that person. Or a simple complement to the check out clerk at the supermarket. Or inviting someone to the club lounge when you think its a good thing to do. Or buying paying the toll for the person behind you.

If it makes you think to pay it forward, then its good.

As long as FTers agree to pay it forward in exchange for ETAs to Australia, then I (and dg4255) will continue doing this!

Everybody can do with a little lovin' kindness these days!
