I want to commend you and your organization for grasping the true concept behind crowdsourcing. Many organizations (for-profit or not) believe that crowdsourcing is a way to get something valuable to free. They often try to “leverage” this for profit somehow and most of the time the fall flat on their faces

Actually, no Deep South Cultural Survival Pack For The North would be complete without a twelve-pack of Dr. Pepper and a jar of peanuts to dump by the double-spoonful into the can, so the imbiber can devour peanuts simultaneously with swilling his Pepper.

My old college roommate says it’s a Georgia thing.

Realising that the Peace Corps refuses to go that far north,
I am willing to assemble a ‘Cultural Survival Pack’.
How about:
- a Stuckey’s Pecan Log Roll,
- some Moon Pies,
- and a box of grits?

I felt sorry for the first shirt, it was feeling unloved, so now it creeps closer to the high rent 2nd shirt.

Hey! I have better things to do at work – I just don’t do them.

I like the Clever Plan.

As someone else who went through the long agonizing process of eventually being diagnosed with MS and having to live with it since, thank you Sanya.

And thank you to everyone supporting Gamers for a Cure, or supporting any other such organization- or supporting anyone living their life with such an illness.

It’s appreciated.

I am pleased to hear about this. I play Dark Age of Camelot, and I am a class TL (Druid). This blog was linked to me by a TLG. It is wonderful that attention is being placed on Multiple Sclerosis. I was sick myself for more than 2 years, with a ‘mysterious’ illness that was then found this March to have Multiple Sclerosis.

I am doing much better now, but reaching the diagnosis was a journey in itself. I am thrilled to hear the gaming community is keen to this disease and that awareness is being raised. I have not kept my diagnosis a secret. I feel it’s best to let people know my story and what I went through. It may some day help another who also suffers what I did for so long.

I lived in MD from 1994-2004. Unless things have changed, liquor access goes by county, not state. For example, in Montgomery County you had to buy liquor from the government store (and not on Sundays) while in Charles County it could be purchased any day of the week in the supermarkets.

Congratulations on your move. I hope your stay in MD is mostly pleasant, as was mine.
