i'm thinking about what i would do if i found myself in this man's situation. i'd like to think i'd give it back to the family. but there's a small part of me that would definitely think about keeping it. it's a decision i hope i never have to make. even though finding that much money would be very nice and help me out quite a bit.

That family should have given him a reward. They didn’t deserve that money, they were gonna burn the couch if they couldn’t donate it.

^^^ Didn't read the whole article but read enough to know what it's about. I think my sentiments would echo sk33tr's. I relish any moment when I get a chance to do the right thing. I don't always do the right thing but that's a different story

I'd like to think that I'd make sure it got back to the rightful owner but I can't honestly say that I would. Maybe if I was actually faced with the decision, it would be easy to do because I'd simply force myself to do it but I don't know...

The last sentence in the article:

Quote:

The family admitted that they would have burned the couch set if the store hadn't taken it in.

They should have given the guy something as a reward. They just took the money and left.

Have you tried PMing a mod and asking them to change it?

I believe there is a thread in the newbie section.

Typical jerks.

How much longer will I have to deal with this hell. I want to stop worrying and live my life. I really hate my mind.

Have you tried therapy? Maybe that will help.

Well that sucks, what if you misspell your name?

Currently taking even pills. Some days it's worse. Between sessions are the worst.

Yeah I dunno.

Maybe that would be a legitimate enough reason for them to change it?

I'd rather my username be something simple like a characters name. I haven't used this username elsewhere since like 2008-2009.

Yeah...I would have definitely kept it. BUT, I would've paid it forward in another way.

Since reading that article I can't figure out how the store traced it back to this woman, I've donated and bought things from all kinds of secondhand stores (including Habitat for Humanity Restore) all donations/sales are anonymous, even if you asked for a tax receipt the store doesn't know who you are. Then again, I do believe some Habitat stores do offer a pick-up service for some donations, so there may be a paper trail there I guess.

CBT is your answer. It takes a lot of effort, but it works. I do it and my mind has improved over the last year.

I just went with a themed name, since this is a site about movies (mostly) I picked one of my favorite movies.

On another site I visit that’s mostly about anime, I picked an anime character.

I don’t really like doing the whole "one name for everything" thing.

I was able to "edit" my username not once but twice by contacting a moderator. Maybe the rules have changed since then but it was done without much of a fuss. Actually, all it took was a PM and it was done a few moments later. Maybe it depends on your history and whether or not you're a "problem" poster.

You mean therapy or something else? I have therapy and pills but my can't stop sometimes. Worrying about something or other.
