Heck, seven pounds for two meals sounds like a deal to me! Exchange is, what, 1/1.5 or so right now? Of course, the food as experienced sometimes ain’t what’s advertised in the pretty pictures, but it sure looks tasty enough to me. ---

Hey guys, my dog died today. I’m going up there on thursday(she lived in another town than my hometown, _and_ I’m a student abroad). I’m also going to Poland on tuesday 4. of august to meet my girlfriend, who I haven’t seen in about two months, so next (game)day will probably be a bit more silent from my side. I’ll still try to read and post as much as possible, and hopefully It’ll work out, but I’ll not be as prominent as Day One. I just wanted you to know. ---

Thanks guys. It was very unexpected. Her father died earlier this year, but he had been struggeling with being a 14 year old samojed for some time. Apparently she didn’t suffer and appeared to be in good health, even to the vets(apart from being a bit overweight, it was basically impossible to control her diet), up until yesterday when everything suddenly broke down. Me and my girlfriend will be going camping alone in the forest and in the mountains somewhere in Poland. We are both people who still haven’t switched to smartphones, so that will hamper my ability to join in on the discussion. I’ll try to manouver the trips so that I’ll be able to join before deadlines. ---
