This is my first time participating and I was excited to the extent that I really needed to chill out. It was all fun & games til Bam Margera (my Longshot) had a stroke 2 weeks ago. Pretty sure Im single-handedly responsible. Tatum O’Neil is on my “home version” of the game. Shes is (or was) In the hospital last week. I feel weird and powerful and bad…a lot to think about lol. ---

One, but you can adjust it until the end of the month, and your last version is what’s taken. For example, I’ve swapped in a new name to mine and will submit the change later this week, waiting just in case I make any more changes before then. ---
