It won't be here, although I see the temptation; it's challenging to accurately assess Remember Me's merits...
...brought in the top bid at $202, and also bid on a few of her friends, echoed Chi’s sentiments. “It’s a cause that really hits close to home, and it’s a fun twist on a fundraiser,” she said. “There’s a standard set of ways to raise money, and this is kind of a curveball that’s great to do once in a while...
