Will there be an updated list of what's available before the "free for all" website launches?

I'm sorry, but we're trying to put all our effort into launching the new webshop.  Updating such a large list would take a considerable number of hours away from moving over to the new automated system.

RarezHut is planned to have its Grand Opening this weekend with a large large inventory. (with audio/video samples for each)  A series of lightning updates will follow, adding more demotapes, CDs, DVDs, and VHS on a daily basis.  Shipping will automatically be calculated at checkout based on buyer location and weight, so no more lengthy weight times and endless PMs back and forth.

Description is out of date. Panda and I have well over 2000 items we're selling now. Last chance to call snag the CD or demotape you've been lusting after before we launch our website and it becomes a free-for-all.

Over the years MDA has helped me in more ways than I can recall. Of course there is the ongoing research that they do (Charcot Marie Tooth, what affects me, is just one of the diseases they research), but they have provided me with leg braces, a new wheelchair ramp when mine got stolen, and even sent me to summer camp for many many years in a row.

When MDA Summer Camp's website says "The best week of the year", they aren't exaggerating one bit. I saw so many kids smiling during the 8+ years I went there, the kind of smiles and sheer joy that you just don't see other places. MDA Camp is a place that, for me at least, physical challenges seem to almost cease to exist and, even if for just one week, that experience is irreplaceable.
Some of my experiences at camp were bittersweet in a way. I mentioned that I would see more happiness on kids' faces during that week than I'd see during the entire rest of the year, though some faces I didn't see the next year or the year after that. I made a friend at camp during one of my first years there, and we looked forward to and enjoyed seeing each other each year. After a couple years, I stopped seeing him at camp. I thought he just didn't make it that year but, when I didn't see him the next year either, I finally asked and found out he hadDuchenne's. It's the nature of some types of Muscular Dystrophy to severely limit a person's lifespan, and I'm so grateful that I was able to see him as happy as he was while I knew him.
One of the aspects I particularily like about MDA is that they focus on both the long- and short-term. While doing research for a cure is essential towards eventual progress, many people need for more immediate help. MDA sees those needs, but also the need for medical advancement, and strives to fulfill both.



I am participating in the MDA Muscle Walk on March 30th, and implore anyone who can to make a donation. Absolutely anything helps, even that $5 you were going to spend on coffee 

They've even gotten all high-tech this year and given participants their own website where people can make secure credit card donations.

I was offered a promotion at my job, it was totally unexpected because I've only been working for them for like 4 months. I'm beyond nervous/excited, this is the best paying job I've ever had.

Congrats!

I'm getting over being sick finally!

Sekushi zero

Looks really good <3

That's a tough one. I'm struggling with something that fits that exact description.

The best advice I can say is to find something to obsess over, whether it be a book or a game or whatever. I've learned a lot about the futility of dwelling on thing you can't change. The key to moving on is distraction. That may not make sense, but it allows you to handle and process things in smaller chunks whereas everything at once is often too much.

As long as Maria Cross doesn't disband, I'll be happy.

Not sure, but, How does Maria Cross want to disband? Ripping an arm from his body or something? It's a solo-artist right?

I laughed hard

I've never listened to PLC, but I did see their last live on DVD. It was so emotional that I was even crying. This thread reminded me to go listen to them more.

Would be an incentive to use strategy in shooters

I absolutely love the Tekken games up through 5. I played Tekken 5 for hundreds of hours at least. Soul Calibur 4 is another favorite. I never was a fan of Dead or Alive.

All roads to you were a puzzle,

on-ramps and detours leading nowhere and back to each other.

like one of those paintings with the upside-down stairs,

left circling in the periphery of a sight too blinding.

Now only phantom fingers trace the tracks on my cheeks.

a faraway memory calls to my muscles to tilt back my chin.

A symphonic fragment of a conversation arrives by wind,

Tied and bound with careless film in a precision bow.

Hidden footage plays from treasured empty spaces

Of love laid bare to tempt a desperate soul.

There was always something beautiful about the winter

setting fire across a canvas of snow

a cold bed burning all around it.

I kept the fact it's a reflection a secret,

Pushed it back so I could bask in visual warmth.

The fit was deafening as you filled a pre-formed mold,

heat redefining the edges and intricate grooves.

Now laid exposed, hand-shaped and too complex.

Long-drawn crafted letters spanning lines from edge to edge,

Inking a prose so sweet the gilded parchment aches,

But a more palatable opaque translation is forced to overlay

A work of stillborn fear and capsized love.

A faint ghost tingle traces the space between my ribs,

Fingers to brush aside hair that left long ago.

A spider-veined foundation is outlined in a clarifying mist

Tempest wails from beleaguered supports no longer tended

Are choked by gritted shutters – their hinges fused with rust.

The whole structure shifts in a muffled plea to be rebuilt.

No longer can I wish through filtered eyes.

Is it fostered love for you that floods my branching veins?

Or is it the desire for that illusory visage of a sweet translation

Forever to be bound to gilded page?

I'm really a fan of poetry and perform quite a bit at slams. I'd really like to start writing music and producing songs though.

Fap.

Porn.

Fap some more.

My mom

"Stop playing with your pussy and go do homework"

Again, she NEVER talks like that.

My mom

"Are my boobs too big?"

More unpacking and running to the bank to funnel Biopanda money to buy rarez.

*hugs geki*

Am feeling ill with a sore throat

I dressed up as Sid Vicious and went to a party. My friend dressed up as a flasher, complete with trench and strap on.

And of course I lost the key to the padlock chain/necklace because I'm scatterbrained, so I've been wearing it ever since XD

I could hear all of them in this test. Which should I vote for in that case?

I would say yes, if only for the more slender build. Then again, I'm 189cm with a large build bone-wise, and it is a pain to carry all that mass around. I really am a fan of the culture, it just seems to *click* with me. Their education system and healthcare is a far sight better than here in Murrica.

Am I going to mope about the fact that I wasn't born Japanese? Hell no. Just gotta roll with the punches.

Not my parents, but my aunt.

"Mind if I smoke? Want some weed?"

I had always had the impression of her as a straight-faced business woman up until then. This was the first time I had brought my then-boyfriend to meet the family too.

Survived moving over the past few days because I have the bestest friends EVER.

If i was there I would have totally helped too!!!!

I wish you were here too! Why aren't you here? We would have the kind of fun that is the stuff of legend XD

REd pandas, kitties, and corgis

JOAN JETT! I got there super early and got to be right up against the bar in front of center stage.

plus I got to meet her after the concert!

I got my first tattoo just at the beginning of Dec. Joan Jett signed my arm after a concert, and I got it tattooed.

Pizza

And my first piece of makeup ever- a red lipstain...a bit too red
