Care what I say. Care now. Damnit.

 

Wait, I've been out of the loop for awhile....Just checking, they haven't given out masters while I was gone?

I hope so, I got an e-mail from amazon awhile back after my dozenth pissy e-mail. It's been a crazy couple weeks so I haven't checked yet.

I quit because it was killing my wrist. There are 200 sliders per page and you have to do like 20 of them. You can't use the keyboard either.

are you really serious or are you seeing how long I'll stay gullible? I just tried to accept a masters hit, and got the "you suck message". Am I about to rage quit the day?

 

Hey how many Heather's can you do?

 

Nope, I got masters! and a bunch of others

 

1 STEAM hit, as stated in the HIT window.

 

I think we all know the real reason your wrist hurts.

 

Definitely. Almost all the regulars got it.
