Considering the circumstances, I think we can do better.

:x I think my car has a bad starter, and I had to take it to the shop today...

:D ...but not until after I had tracked down the last available copy of Fire Emblem: Awakening (3DS) in the Charlotte area.

:D Got my coy of the Ringmaster's Edition of "The Devil's Carnival", which is numbered 5,154/6,660

:) Made this video last night

:cry: But because it has copyrighted music, I can't get it to play on other devices. I can't wait until a BETTER YouTube alternative comes along without these asinine bullshit rules from Hell!

That's happened to me every year. I really need to get off my butt and just do arty things like I did last year so it is just 1 or a handful of desirable items that fetch a worthwhile amount.

Yeah, in some of these instances, it is better off just keeping the items and donating to the cause. The biggest benefactor seems to be USPS.

Same here. I'm not sure how long it'll take me to play it though I've been playing almost nothing but Battlefield 3 lately. Hooray for expanding backlogs!

I can agree with this. I use Photobucket to upload screenshots and pics here on this forum, and it keeps reminding me of the "time left" I have before I'm forced to use their new *layout*, which means of course it's going to suck. I don't understand why every single website has to change all the time to make it more "social" by using Javascript on EVERYTHING, putting top bars and side bars, making the actual content span more pages, and to make everything even uglier and less functional. (I'm looking at you(Tube)!) There are sites besides Photobucket that have optimized themselves for social media, and for the rest of us it's less user friendly.
