Over the centuries, Romanians have developed a wonderful technique for helping their fellow man. Just click here to learn all about this amazing skill and start practicing it yourself. Implementation of this amazing technique is one of the many reasons Romania is a world leader in the fields of mint rubbing, gas burning and cutting leaves to dogs.





Worst fears are now reality: all our base are belong to them. This evil message is displayed everywhere around the world as a warning: we are on the way to destruction. Make your time. This is no joke: one of our staff has seen the message with his own eyes. Click here to see for yourself. We also received this message on a RMRA cell phone. It's time to move zig.





Some of the messages received this month:

- "Sanatate si putere de munca mintrubberilor, cat tail pullerilor si gas burnerilor." (igor)

- "keep it up, don't give up. i'm to lazy 2 write more lines" (skipy)

- "Ba dar misto site mai frecasi pe tastatura. sper ca in viitor sa fiu in continuare dependent de 404 page. the mint rubbing spirit be with YOU"

- "Happy Anniversary! You are super ! I discovered your site by chance and since then it has been a real joy for me to visit and revisit. It's a lot of work and "brains" behind it, I have no words to express my appreciation and gratitude. Long live mintrubbing.org!" (Alice)

More messages can be found on the world-famous RMRA forum (the link is on the mainpage of the site). A quick note: the RMRA forum is a mint rubbing forum. It does not work as a regular forum, i.e. displaying messages in a sequential order, as they are entered by kind users. No, sir. Most of the time, new messages enetered on the forum are not displayed at the top; they are displayed randomly on the first page of the forum, or even on the second or third pages (to access other pages, follow the "next page" link at the bottom of the forum page). No entry is deleted! Rest assured that all your messages are recorded for future generations! After a couple of decades, when mint rubbing will gain its much deserved recognition, your thoughts on mint rubbing will be studied in school, researched and analyzed. Under these circumstances, your input is vital!

We have to say that we are stunned by the quality of some posts entered on the forum in the last couple of months. The level of expertise of some anonymous mint rubbers out there is unbelievable. An article about these is in the making and will be presented next month. Keep posting, we might like your entry so much that we'll talk about it in this article. Do it!

Pentru cei care inca nu stiu, exista un site care ridica ocupatia cu pricina la rang de mandrie nationala.
Se declara misiunea, serviciile oferite, carierele celor cu vechime in domeniu, ca sa va zic numai cateva sectiuni.
Restul le vedeti si singuri. Daca v-a placut, intrati la testimoniale si dati-va cu parerea. Neaparat in dulcele stil "Pacala"." Thanks to you too, guys).
