Not games, but sometimes all you want to do is watch a little something to distract you.

Good choice, a movie could let them escape from the hospital for awhile, and not everyone is a gamer.

Yes, we will! I just need to make another quick trip to the blood bank and it's more matching for everyone! Mmm, good orange juice.

Nice work on getting Amazon to donate too with free shipping -and- 2 free books with the 4:3 promotion.

I would just like to request that anyone who doesnt have a hospital in mind check out WVU childrens hospital in WV. They have very few things from their list purchased.

I'm confused. What is it that you are asking?

There is only one childrens hospital in WV and their list is pretty bare.

A little announcement on my part regarding the Nef Thread and the "Nef for Charity" thing:

If I get the 5,000th post and win the $100, I will spend at least $50 of my winnings on Child's Play.

 

[xanis]

Also, I've been talking with JohnCU and he offered me $50 in return for posting for him and getting the word out about neffing for a good cause. I refused the money and instead had him put my $50 towards Child's Play. The result:

Shipping Method: FREE Super Saver Shipping
Shipping Preference: Group my items into as few shipments as possible
Subtotal of Items: $129.99
Shipping & Handling: $4.49
Super Saver Discount: -$4.49
------
Total for this Order: $129.99


Shipping estimate for these items: December 8, 2008 1 "Nintendo DS Lite Onyx Black"
Video Game; $129.99

EDIT: The above donation is going to the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.
