Bob’s Taunt Ignites MamaJD’s Karma

re: MamaJD SOS: 'Electronic gadgets' for men
When I got dressed, I found $25 in the pocket of some pants I haven't worn in a while. With the extra money, I bought myself some hot tea. Feeling generous, I tipped the barista a dollar - more than half the cost of my drink. I also made a point to fold up a dollar bill. I put the dollar in my pocket so I could easily and smoothly slip it into the Salvation Army pail. ... I was soooo smoooooth when donating my money that I didn't realize the ding dong maneuver I was pulling. And the guy seemed so warm and genuine with heartfelt thanks when he saw my folded bill go into his pail. And no wonder: Instead of the $1, I accidentally donated the $20 bill that was in my other pocket.

Question: How has your karma been of late?
