The World needs you ..do something

Hello there.
I feel lucky, My house is warm, i have a full re fridge of food and can foods in my basement.
Just had a yummy breakfast and typing this from my living room rocking chair.
I am a very lucky man.
I … i…. i…. me… me… me… point of this is not me..

For 20 years i’ve listened and watched the world hungerthon on various local tv and
listened on radio. This year it really hit me for some reason.
Maybe there’s a way I could help. I been sick awhile myself and take care of a blind person.
So alot of time im in my own world. Thinking of my issues. But really I am lucky.
So last few nights and days I been tweeting, emailing, streaming, and just trying to just get people
to think about others that don’t have the vary basic thing we need as a human.
Nutrition. My 10 or 12 hours of talking to people in teamspeaks, vox, text, may result in planting a seed (see what i did there)
in peoples minds to do something.
”When in doubt do something positive. ” So i donated my time. Last year I donated warm clothes,
and food throughout the year to my local shelter.
This year I spend 10-15 hours just chatting with people about hunger.
Whatever your passion may be to help a fellow person.. do it. Don’t wait..take action.
there's things you can do even if it is not a money donation.. grow some veggies during the summer and donate them to the shelter..
tell your neighbors your collecting old coats to bring to a shelter.
(i’m going to volunteer my time every year now doing what i did this week. it cost me nothing and more I spoke about the topic
the more I would look for questions people might have making me more knowledgeable)
I want to share this site if you don’t mind… I been watching or listening to it every Tuesday for 20+ years on New York radio and tv.
The sites was created about a organization Harry Chapin (http://www.harrychapinmusic.com/ ) made in the 80’s.
What people don’t know is Harry donated like 75% of his money to feeding people that needed help.
don’t think about money or donating.. just read the site and think… what can you do for people?
thanks for taking time to read this poorly written wall of text. on your busy day.

ArchAge players accuse video game developers of violating consumer laws


SAN MATEO, Calif. (Legal Newsline) — Three video gamers recently sued the developer of a “free-to-play” game over allegations that it misrepresented the game.
Aaron Van Fleet, Paul Ovberg and James Longfield, on behalf of themselves and others similarly situated, filed a class-action lawsuit in September in California Superior Court, San Mateo County against Trion Worlds, Inc. for allegedly violating the Unfair Competition Law, False Advertising Law and Consumer Legal Remedies Act, as well as for negligent misrepresentation.
The case has since been removed to federal court.
Trion Worlds is the developer of a game called ArchAge, which is marketed as a “free-to-play” game in which players either advance through playing the game, or by purchasing virtual game goods with real world money or purchasing a subscription service.
The plaintiffs allege the company violated California law by failing to provide customers with the benefits it promises players who purchase game goods. Each of the plaintiffs allegedly spent $149.99 on a founders pack, which promised each player a “Patron” status for discounts and virtual gaming goods.
The plaintiffs allege, however, that the defendant did not honor its promises and has therefore violated consumer laws.
They are suing for restitution damages, an injunction against the defendant from further unlawful acts, court costs and attorney fees, and any other rewards deemed proper by the court. They are represented by attorneys Susan S. Brown, Karl Olson and Michael F. Ram of Ram, Olson Cereghino & Kopcyzynski LLP in San Francisco; Toby J. Marshall of Terrell Marshall Daudt & Willie PLLC in Seattle; and Venkat Balasubramani of Focal PLLC in Seattle.
