Popeye,

Haven't you heard? Your Uncle Scrooge had a change of heart.

Hurry though...this happened last year, and he was back to his old ways by the time Christmas rolled around again.

Thanks for an idea.

I'm going to spend next week giving away goodies.

My Uncle Scrooge will disinherit me, but hey - hard to get, easy to give away.

In the spirit of giving I just gave ChrisBondi a spa. I have earned more than 69,000 points and after gifting myself with a pool and a hybrid car I just frittered them all away on really deserving and "needy" people.

Points have no value other than to give to others...so do others a nice favor, and send them a goodie, for whatever reason.

I need a Caribbean vacation and a ski vacation. hint, hint.

I crossed the 3000 sparkpoints barrier yesterday. Today I will be looking for people to give goodies to as I have recieved many kind responses on a blog I posted.

I guess I was not very clear in my original post (wow, that's so UNUSUAL for me...lol)

When I said 'give away' SparkPoints, I meant by 'purchasing' Goodies with my points and giving them to other Sparkies.

Also, when I said 'earned,' I meant ALL the points you earn--for tracking exercise and food, posting, blogging, etc--not just what you spin on the wheel.

That said, here's my results for today:

Yesterday's points earned: 56
Today's goodies points spent: 410

giving IS fun but what is the most expensive goodie you can GIVE to yourself!

I do send goodies to different people not just on my teams, could be a blog.
It is rather nice to be thanked, as I don't think it was expected..

Well I know you can buy goodies with them and give them away, but how do you actually transfer points?
I don't see how you can give more than you have, that's like going into point debt...and the people in the US are in enough debt without going into point debt too!

If they're really a noose around your neck do something with them like buy yourself a virtual car, a cruise, a personal trainer, a happy face. As for me, I'm craving the liposuction right now! Hint, hint!

I'm all for giving, from above or below--my point spread. I don't have a build up due to a secret santa give away. I have had them given to me and I been giving them out right along. I like your idea of giving some everyday. It would be fun just to do it for no reason, too bad you can't do it anonymously.

Anybody besides me got a plethora of SparkPoints? (Thanks SparkPeople for giving me the opportunity to use that word in a sentence!)

I believe we were given them in order for us to distribute them to other Sparkies as encouragement, and yet I have over 10,000 of those little buggers staring me in the face.

So here's my challenge: Post here how many points you earned yesterday, and how many you gave away today.

Personally, I'm going to aim for giving away twice as many as I earned. The surplus is starting to weigh me down. lol
