FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3444 Posts	Posted 08/14/2013 7:26 pm I am glad to hear that my fellow 'addicts' have applauded my relapse into the depths of the Netherworld ! I am a devout cheapskate but when I happened to check my watch list this morning (which I often neglect to do) There it was ....... Marked down . "Limited Time Offer !" "Act Now !" Supplies Are Limited ! Two hours of agony followed Sweaty Palms Stomach Cramps Breathless Racing Mind How to make it work ? Full blown withdrawal ....... (Having been a licensed Hack for 15 years I have seen too many worse off than this) Finally I just couldn't take it anymore and I lunged for the laptop And now the anxious wait for the Postman Oh the humanity !

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3444 Posts	Posted 08/15/2013 07:17 am BTW TIF ...... I messaged you last week hoping you would make it go away ! It even suddenly had the 33% off 'sale'. Then suddenly the listing was removed. "Item no longer available". I felt a bit better after a day. Tuesday I get the email ...... Item you were watching has been 'relisted' By Wednesday again with the 33% off sale ...... No one to save me from myself ..... Alone with my 'daemons' Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3444 Posts	Posted 08/15/2013 09:11 am I am a little unclear about what is going on around the 'proboscis'. I am hoping the seller dabbed a little 'spit' to try and get some detail (didn't work I am hoping). Either way the portrait seems to have some nice things going for it. Report this Post to the Staff
