Doing the event, someone sent a tell saying for the full size variant, there was a Meteor appreciation party going on later today (and implied 18+) and I just. Why.

Keep it an anniversary and hopefully don't repeat it ever again. *nod*

As someone who has celiac, I majorly empathize. Digestive stuff sucks and I'm hoping the best for you. Sending good thoughts your way!

I know MHS3 isn't out for a few months, but I'm replaying the 3D Zeldas, and that'll keep me busy until March.

I read the whole thread, and it told me what I need to know. I'll skip the video.

I had lots of thoughts along those lines during the dinner. David let me vent nonstop the ride home. XD
