BostonAquaFarms Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 You guys are amazing! I can't believe what I am reading. I can't give thanks enough. I thank you, my wife thanks you and especially Rylee thanks you. Here is a picture of Rylee and her favorite friend, very early in her treatment. Thanks again, Jon, Melissa and Rylee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefboy Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Glad we could help as a father of a young girl I have no Idea what I would do in your shoes so this is the least we could do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackaninny Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Something ain't right when that precious little child gets such an illness. Special thoughts out to you Rylee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 $60' date=' of all the raffle prizes, the echinata is what I really wanted(drooler)[/quote'] Bumping it up you really going to let rgrcrain win all the prizes?!! You guys really know how to step up to the plate in a time of need... TOO COOL!!!! Brilliant idea Perry!(clap) This is what got us over the 1000 dollar mark! You guys are amazing! I can't believe what I am reading. I can't give thanks enough. I thank you, my wife thanks you and especially Rylee thanks you. Here is a picture of Rylee and her favorite friend, very early in her treatment. Thanks again, Jon, Melissa and Rylee Remember this is who you are helping. Chemotherapy is quite expensive even when insurance pays for it. Some people can end up having to foot the bill for thousands of dollars per treatment. Money problems can be stressful but just think about how much harder that is when you deal with a sick child So proud of everyone in this forum by the way!(clap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrcrain Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I'm sending this from my blackberry so I don't know if it is going?? I'm on my way back from Montana now so my coverage is terrible, anyway I'm willing to go 100 on this if someone wants to bid it up I just don't really want to beat myself again.

I'll go to $70...and hopefully your coverage truly is terrible (laugh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrcrain Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Thanks Toxic but not that terrible, OK $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 Thanks Toxic but not that terrible' date=' OK $100[/quote'] Way to make it under the freaking wire Roger!(clap) Roger that is so generous of you and that echinata does look awesome too... I don't like the colored sticks as much but that's a nice colored stick. That puts your bidding up to 280 dollars and final donation to 1065! I'm going to throw in an extra 35 dollars to make it an even 1100 dollars! Again great idea Perry to get the ebay style bidding going on. Thanks Grassi, Mandinga, and Perry for donating your prizes. Thanks Grassi as well for offering up some nice ricordias and zoas. You will not be disappointed. Roger, I'm also going to let you have the large green acro we won for being so generous with your bidding. Thanks Jackaninny for the 25 dollar donation and Franklin for the 20 dollar donation as well. The torch, miami hurricane, and fungia plate remain unclaimed so if I don't hear from someone by Friday, I will redraw for those Saturday morning.

Mandinga Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 roger, thanks so much! I can either get the tort to Beth, or we can arrange a meeting...see ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToxicPoison Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Thanks Toxic but not that terrible' date=' OK $100[/quote'] Well played sir. However, I must say...having stole every auction from me...you are now my nemesis! (enforcer) Rylee's smile is worth it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgrcrain Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Stole it? 70.50 would have stolen it. I laughed in your face and walked away.(naner) Issac, I will take the miagi frag, but the echinata belongs in your tank. Just make sure when it grows I get the first piece.(rock2) Kim and/or Beth, thank you for the offer of your coral, but my tank was full before. Im probably going to have to do some "reimagining" of my live rock so I can fit more.(scratch) So you can keep it or give it to TFT. Alex, oh I want all the coral you'll give me.(naughty) Auctions for corals unseen are exciting. But seriously it was for a good cause and we should definately do it again.(clap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgrcrain Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 nope! no way! not gonna do it! it's yours roger. Thanks for your generosity. No please take it. I'm having some issues with my water and I dont want to take the chance on losing it. I came home from Montana and one of the colonies I got from perry a month or 2 back was a complete rtn.(sad) Its weird how one coral will die and the one right next to it can be growing like a weed.(scratch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 Roger I can hold it for you until you feel you conditions are better. I think the acro colonies you won will do fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefnjunkie Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Sounds like a struggle here-since I am always wanting to help out-I'll take the Aussie SPS and once you folks have sorted things out or tanks stabilize LMK and you can have it-less a small frag of course. Time we look at coral banking anyway-(clap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
