As some of you already know, my girlfriend is getting fuckin BRAIN SURGERY on the 21st and 22nd this week. She's really down in the dumps about it not because she's getting fucking BRAIN SURGERY, but her family and friends have not supported her at the level of a normal considerate human being which is just balls.
This will take you a few minutes and give you gallons of good karma. If there's anything you would ever do for me, let it be this.
Send an e-card to her email. There's lots of free places to get them, or at least send her a friendly email. Just make sure you label it with TWHL someplace so she knows where its from.
Her email is little_purple_kitten@msn.com
Please be awesome :]
Lets All Be Awesome

Noooo! Rimrook do you realise what you have done! You just let the whole internet, (and that includes the anal spam troll) know your gf's email address!

I sent her an email to the best of my abilities. Being a stranger does make it difficult, as does not knowing what to say about an operation such as that, but I do hope it'll cheer her up, if only a little.

I'm thinking TWHL wasn't the best place to start Rim.
If you have any close friends, ask all of them for their support, anybody you know, posting this on a Half-Life forum full of people who just plain don't give a horseshit, is not a good place to start.

Wow. I like you guys, I trust you guys, I would drop what I'm doing in a heartbeat to help you guys out and the one moment I need a small favor, not for myself but for my girlfriend who is getting fucking BRAIN SURGERY, you guys crap out on me.
EDIT: Thanks for the support so far, I should make trophies or something.
@Crollo: I give a horseshit. People come to me on steam and ask for help/advice/how-to all the time.

No, I'm saying that it's wrong to depend on a internet forum to get help from anybody, the internet is just a bunch of keyboard warriors who do and say shit they wouldn't do in real life because in real life it would have gotton them a fist to the face, whearas over the internet people can talk shit and not have to worry because they're hiding behind a computer screen, I'm not saying everybody is a keyboard warrior, Well i guess i am actually. Whatever, i don't know where I'm going with this but i just finished typing a whole paragraph so I'll just stick with it.
The whole 'simply don't give a horseshit' was a bit harsh, but i still stand by it.

Rimrook it's not us, it's crollo. Give me and TJB an idea of what to write and we will do it.
P.S.: crollo, that's a nice description of yourself you did there, come here so that I can give you another one of those.

I might send something later. BUT I'd expect to know a little more. What's the surgery for?
And Crollo, no. YOU don't give a horseshit, that doesn't mean that others don't. This is a call for support from someone in need. If you don't care, don't help. But those who believe it might have a positive effect by the end, will at least consider doing what's asked, it's not such a huge effort. He's not asking you to donate blood, you don't even need to move your hands away from your keyboard.

You're all right, i am a asshole, I'll just delete the message i just finished writing to prove it.
Is that better?
Also I'm assuming my ban is close at hand so I'll just save you some effort and log out and not log back in.

I agree that it might not have been the best idea to expose his gf's email address to the wilderness of the internet, but it's his wish that we help him make her feel better. Read his second paragraph. Also it's not an impossible request, at all.

Ok I sent her one, I hope it's good enough, I wrote this:
Hey there! I'm a friend of your bf, Ben, and I heard you were going through brain surgery this week... I just wanted to wish you all the best and I hope this surgery goes a 100% well! It must be really hard going through something like that, but don't be down! You have my support!

Just to help make up some minds, she replied to me, and she seemed to be EXTREMELY grateful. A few kind words go a long way. Don't be dicks, don't be trolls, if that's all your are, take a moment from your life to do at least one decent thing.

Edit: That, or the scan is not through the middle of the head. Duh.

Just make sure you get the mods to remove that link after all this is over. Bots could flood that address with spam otherwise, wouldn't want that happening... or worse yet, some troll comes on here and sends her a goatse or something.

I agree with Grim, emails are not that hard to obtain if you're really after them, the only thing is, we know who that email is, but it's not like we wouldn't anyway if we ere actually looking for it. Bots find our emails all the time, so I wouldn't worry about it at all.
And I was cheezy and sent her a Hallmark ecard, I hope it goes through ok =D

You have everyone's support.

Make sure she recovers quickly, okay?

* This is Rimrook's Girlfriend*
He is going to Kill me for posting on his account, but I don't care
I Wanted to personally come on here and thank all of you for your kind words and support. You have NO idea how much it means to me. Seriously. This is Brain Surgery..2 of them in fact, like Rim said, so yeah serious...but more so..there is still a chance I could be blind ( either completely or partially) have neurological deficits ( stroke or something) and have some major badness after this..and as if all that isn't bad enough...Most of my friends stopped talking to me..and my Family ( uncles and aunts) Have said little if nothing.My own Forums and sites ( art sites) people said little to nothing.
SO really, I mean this from the bottom of my heart, what you all did is amazing, and as cheesy as it is I think I will recover better knowing that at least Some people give a fuck ( I hate myself for being a girl and actually shedding a tear writing this LOL)
Thanks again Guys

Skals come on man, stop turning what is trying to make a positive of a negative thread into a negative arguemental thread.
I mean come on. Rimrook loves his gf and is trying to make her feel better. Give him a break. It's not like hes forcing you to send her an email, the least you could do is stop fannying about in his thread.

I was afraid she wasnt going to like it because i went out on a limb with some very satirical humor.

I would appreciate it next time though, that if you have another thought, just let it go.
